Our ‘Alive at 5’ has had a good start…..the singing has been excellent – the attendance better than I expected – 50-60 each evening. I am most encouraged by the non-Christians and lapsed Christians who have come along – including at least four people who have never been in a church….. The hospitality, worship, media and welcome teams have worked well.
Here is the second sermon from John 1 we did…it includes the Q and A Last Sunday we looked at the contrast between Darkness and Light in the world – John 1:5-9. And what it means for Jesus to be the light….amongst other things we discussed the Black Dog – depression….
And here is last weeks – on the Resurrection.
To be honest I was not happy with this….at least one Christian was (in my view rightly) not happy with it as well….and yet two of the non-Christians loved it! So this is where I am asking for your help – if you have time please watch both of these and e-mail me privately with your thoughts (theweeflea@gmail.com) – I am deeply conscious of a need to greatly improve my preaching – and any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated…
Of course another way to help is to pray….please continue to do so.
And another way is to help us with the publicity – here is the advert for this week…
Alive at 5 – Something New for a Renewed Newcastle!
Hello Pastor David,
Terry and I love your style of preaching, and to us, it is a refreshing and relaxed style, and know others who are enjoying how you put together your talks and deliver them. Giving us some additional personal insights into the message, together with some added content, like your video clips, really give the message a tone and clarity that other preachers lack, and they can sound quite stilted in their delivery. Keep doing what you are doing and with all the other daily comments that you deliver, we are getting great teaching and preaching and keep our interest in the whole Gospel message.
