December 20, 2024 • Angus Buchan • Matthew 25:2–4, Jeremiah 8:20, John 3:3
With Christmas just around the corner, we are reminded that there is an urgency to be ready for the Lord's return. It is time to make a decision as a family to acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Saviour. We need to know that if Jesus comes today our whole household is ready.
Holy Like Him
December 13, 2024 • Angus Buchan • 1 Peter 1:16, Matthew 12:30, Romans 8:28
We need to have a reverence for the things of God and a respect for the name of Jesus. Many people have been martyred for not choosing to deny the name of Jesus.
God will take away our heart of stone and give us one of flesh. Jesus is the greatest Miracle Worker and He can do a heart transplant in us today. When we are in Christ, we become a brand new creation.
Turn and Live
November 29, 2024 • Angus Buchan • Hebrews 13:8, John 3:7, Ezekiel 18:32
Good people don't go to Heaven, believers go to Heaven. Being born again means to turn to Jesus and make a new start. We can't afford to wait to give our lives to the Lord.
Feed By Faith
November 22, 2024 • Angus Buchan • Hebrews 13:8, Matthew 14:16–21, Romans 10:17
Do you believe that miracles still take place today? Uncle Angus shares the story about the miracle of food multiplication on the farm. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. We increase our faith by spending time in the Word of God.
Who are we trusting today? We need to trust God for everything and not put pressure on our family. Our hope is in the Lord.
Call No Man a Fool
November 8, 2024 • Angus Buchan • Matthew 5:22, Philippians 4:13
We are God's workmanship, created in God's image. Everyone has something to offer. We may not call anyone foolish or judge others. The possibilities within you are endless. Work hard, do your best and trust God to the rest.
The Creed
November 1, 2024 • Angus Buchan • Mark 8:27–29, John 14:6
We need to get back to basics. The Word of God needs to be our foundation. Who do we believe that Jesus is? Do you believe that He is the only way to the Father? We need to have a personal relationship with Jesus so we can confidently share our faith in Him with others.
Simple Faith
October 25, 2024 • Angus Buchan • Matthew 9:28–30, Luke 17:5, Romans 10:17, Romans 4:3, Genesis 18:14
It is mind-blowing when you see what God can do when we walk by faith and not by sight. Nothing is impossible for God. Prayer is the secret to having faith, it is when we meet with Jesus.
Repentance
October 18, 2024 • Angus Buchan • 1 John 1:9, Romans 8:1, John 3:16, Romans 6:23, John 10:10
Repentance is saying sorry and asking the Lord for another opportunity to make things right. Where there is repentance, there is freedom.
Let us not be ashamed of the Gospel as we are called to be ambassadors of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is for everyone and we need to tell people that Jesus loves them.
Faith
October 4, 2024 • Angus Buchan • 2 Corinthians 5:7, Job 13:15, Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 11:1, John 1:1
We need plain, simple, real faith - like Peter Marshall described it: “Faith like potatoes". Without faith, we cannot please God. We need to have faith in God constantly. Faith has feet, it's a doing word.
Abide
September 27, 2024 • Angus Buchan • John 15:7, Philippians 4:13, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Philippians 3:10
Let us take time to abide with the Lord. We cannot afford not to spend time with Him, if we want our lives to succeed. To produce fruit, we need to be connected to the vine. If we abide in Him the best chapter of our lives will begin!
Wellspring
September 20, 2024 • Angus Buchan • 1 Peter 5:7, Proverbs 16:22, Jeremiah 2:13
We need to look after the wellspring of our lives, but it takes discipline. It takes time - Time spent with God and His people.
Family Tree
September 13, 2024 • Angus Buchan • Matthew 1:17–21, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 14:2–3, John 15:16, Jeremiah 1:5
The greatest genealogy that we can be a part of is the family tree of our Saviour Jesus Christ. We have not been left as orphans, those of us in Christ have the Holy Spirit and are children of God.
