The whole concept of tithing is Old Covenant theology. And in truth was perhaps more complicated than we think; the amount actually being tithed was more than just 10%. But what does the New Testament say? As Christians how much should we give? Pastor John Baptiste looks at giving within the local church. https://www.p-c-f.co.uk/
To tithe or not to tithe – that is the question.
Killing Giants: Past, Present and Future Starting with David and Goliath, Pastor John Baptiste takes a look at giants in the bible. Have you ever thought what the Biblical landscape would look like had David not overcome Goliath? Goliath wasn’t the only giant that had to be overcome. Unbelief and failing to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ is the spiritual giant we have to overcome. #1samuel17 #2Samuel21 #luke4 :13 #davidandgoliath #GiantBradley https://www.p-c-f.co.uk/
Giants Past, Present and Future
Peter Kelly with the first of two talks on how God communicates with us through the gift of prophecy. In part 1, Peter looks at four points: • What is prophecy? • The history of prophecy • The need for prophecy • What prophecy does #1corinthians14 :1-5 https://www.p-c-f.co.uk/
The Gift of Prophecy
It’s About Leaving Your Mark on Society and Leaving a Legacy in Life. Not just any legacy, but a good legacy, says Phil Bradish. You could be one of the richest people on Earth, but still leave a poor legacy. When God looks at your heart what does he see? What about the example we set to those non-Christians around us? #2timothy2 :1-10 #genesis5 :21-24 https://www.p-c-f.co.uk/
Leaving Your Mark
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? - Jeremiah 17:9 In the bible, the heart represents our thoughts, understanding, will, intellect and moral character. It controls our actions, intentions and plans. Pastor John Baptiste looks at the heart. A heart from the Lord gives us a heart for the Lord. How is your heart? Have you given it to Jesus? #jeremiah17 https://www.p-c-f.co.uk/
The Heart of the Matter
We all celebrate Christmas and Easter, with the Cross and the Resurrection. We also go big on Pentecost, but we often overlook the Ascension of Jesus. Ralph Gill looks at the Ascension at why it's central to our faith. #luke24 :44-53 #acts1 :1-10 #Isaiah52 :13-15 #daniel7 :13-14 #psalm110 #ephesians4 :11-16 #1peter2 :4-5 #matthew11 :11
What's Up with the Ascension?
Pastor John Baptiste looks at coming to the Lord empty handed. The bible is full of stories of people carrying things when they meet God that they then need to leave with the Lord. None of us come to the Father empty handed. We all come to him carrying something that Jesus wants to take from us, he wants to replace, to restore or use for his glory through his healing, his truth and his peace. Are you empty handed? What are you carrying that you need to leave or give to Jesus? #john4 :1-29 #TheSamaritanWoman #john6 :1-15 #feeding5000 #matthew26 :6-15 #JesusAnointedatBethany https://www.p-c-f.co.uk/
Being Empty Handed

This time he turns to the New Testament to see what Paul is really saying when he refers to homosexuality. Does he really single out homosexuality? #Romans1:16-32 #1Corinthians6:9-10 https://www.p-c-f.co.uk/
Good News For Everyone Part 4
When Jesus went to the Cross, it was women who showed up for him. The only disciple there was John. Peter, the disciple on whom Jesus was going to build his church was nowhere to be seen. Judas Iscariot had sold Jesus out. Paul tells us that we were chosen in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight (Eph 1:4). How does that relate to his disciples, including Judas? Ralph Gill looks at the character of Peter and Judas. What did it mean for Peter to deny Jesus? Was Judas responsible for Jesus going to the Cross? #matthew16 #isaiah53 #john19 #luke22 #matthew10 # #john13 #matthew27 #john21
Peter and Judas Iscariot

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is Good News for Everyone – Or it’s not Good News at All.

Whether we agree with their lifestyles or not, a group of people are trying to live their lives whilst encountering hate, bigotry and exclusion because it does not conform to historical norms. How do we navigate what the bible clearly teaches and offer this truth in a loving and compassionate way? #genesis19 #sexualorientation #genderidentity #genderinclusivity
