Two things
1) Again, I seem to have been silent for quite some time - this is partly because we have changed the meeting structure at the congregation where I meet, so we are not doing formal "sermons" any more (rather shorter contributions from more people - more in line with what's set out in 1 Cor 14) - as a result, we're not currently videoing anything. It's possible that we may move back to videoing the shorter bits and pieces at some point in which case I may be able to start uploading that kind of thing again. However, in the mean time, I should really be uploading other bits and pieces. Slap wrist!
2) There seems to be intermittent problems with Tangle, so the videos posted here don't always actually work. Hopefully this is something that they are dealing with!!

Saved by Grace
The BAD NEWS - we are miserable, sinful failures who spend a huge amount of our time doing things that offend God with occasional imperfect attempts to do things that please Him.
The GOOD NEWS - God loves us so much that He gives us salvation anyway.

Handout (Flyer) for Halloween
Here's a handout for Halloween for Christians who don't approve of Halloween:
I put this together so that we had something to give to kids who come to the door trick or treating. Since we don't like the concept of celebrating Halloween, but also don't feel comfortable just ignoring them, we decided that the best thing would be to create a little flyer that gives a positive Christian message to give the kids along with their "treat" . Feel free to print this out and use it as well if you find it useful.

Why? Because He Loves You.
And (following no from the last post) - here's a talk I did more recently (this past Sunday, actually) about things that God does or allows to happen in our lives that sometimes make us wonder what He's up to or whether He cares - when the truth is that often these things happen specifically because he does care.
Prayer
Here's a talk I did a while ago on prayer, which, it seems, I've never quite got round to posting. It starts with an except from a book that I've been gradually working on writing (and, who knows, may actually get round to posting as well someday!!!).
Part 1:

Loving Your Enemies
Lucia: "Daddy, the Bible says you need to be kind to your enemies."
Dad: "But you're not my enemy, so does that mean that I don't need to be kind to you?"
Lucia (in a very exasperated, reproachful voice): "Daddy... Your children are your enemies... so that means you have to be kind to me!"
