Sing a New Song - Psalm 96
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 4th December 2016 6:00pm
This Sunday evening I'm looking at Psalm 96, and what it means to "sing a new song". We'll consider the content of the song, who it should be sung to, and how it should be sung.
Psalm 57
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 27th November 2016 6:00pm
This Sunday night we are taking a look at Psalm 57. Most commentators believe it was written when David was on the run from King Saul hiding in a cave with his troops at En Gedi, fearing for his life. David had lost his friend, he would never see Jonathan again. His advisor Samuel has died, even his own wife had turned against him. There was only one thing for David to do, to call upon the mercy of God and look to the Most High. As we look at this psalm tonight we are going to learn some valuable lessons of what we are to do when we find ourselves in a pickle with no one to help.
The Crook: Psalm 24
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 20th November 2016 6:00pm
Psalms 22-24 are a trilogy. Psalm 22 prophetically speaks of the crosss, Psalm 23 speaks of the present and the Lord being our shepherd. Psalm 24 speaks of the crowned God of glory. It will be his authority and glory that we will consider and proclaim this Sunday evening.
The Crook: Psalm 23
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 13th November 2016 6:00pm
Last week we looked at Psalm 22 - a prophetic psalm pointing to the cross. This coming Sunday we look at perhaps the best known of all the psalms, Psalm 23. It's about the Lord being our shepherd, and our relationship with Him today. I'm expecting God to speak into our hearts and encouage us through this Psalm, and to build us up in Him.
His Love Endures Forever
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 23rd October 2016 6:00pm | Psalm 136
This Sunday evening we're taking a closer look at psalm 136. It's a Psalm that celebrates God's goodness, power, care and provision. It's a Psalm that is relevant for us today as it was the day it was first written. Let's allow God to speak to us through this psalm and be encouraged.

by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 9th October 2016 6:00pm

The Spiritual Gifts 2
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 26th June 2016 6:00pm | 1 Corinthians 12
This Sunday evening I'm continuing the series on spiritual gifts. After my introduction last week. I'm going to give a broad definition of a spiritual gift, but then concentrate on the gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12. Specifically tonight we we will examine the gifts of the word of wisdom and word of knowledege.
The Spiritual Gifts
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 19th June 2016 6:00pm | 1 Corinthians 12
Tonight I want to begin to dissolve some of the uneasiness surrounding the spiritual gifts. Most of us can cite bad experiences of when the spiritual gifts have been abused. This has led to fear and apprehension. I want to redress the balance so that God's supernatural power in our lives becomes part of our everyday living.
Expectant 2
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 12th June 2016 6:00pm | Genesis 15:1-5
"Expectant" was the theme of this year's Elim Leaders' Summit. The word "expectant" was spelled out in big illuminated characters mounted on the stage as the backdrop to everything that was said. Two week's on, I've still been pondering this word, and more importantly how God wants us to be an expectant church. So, this Sunday evening I want to bring a message that will enlarge our faith so that we don't just hope God will do great things, but expect God to do great things in us and through us.

I often get asked what Pentecostals are. This Sunday evening being Pentecost Sunday, I'm going to highlight the distinctives that define the church that we are.

Lord - Teach Us to Pray
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 3rd April 2016 6:00pm
In Luke 11 one of the disciples approached Jesus and asked "Lord teach us to pray". As we continue to explore what prayer in the church should look like, there's no better place to look than at Jesus' response to the disciple's request. I don't believe what has become known as the Lord's Prayer was ever intended to be recited word for word, but more as a format for prayer with principles to be followed. It is these principles that we will be looking at tonight.

When a Church Prays
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 13th March 2016 6:00pm | Acts 4:23-31
This Sunday evening our scripture text will be the prayer of the disciples in Acts 4 - after the rulers of the people commanded them to stop proclaiming Jesus. It's literally a ground shaking prayer, which resulted in the Holy Spirit falling down upon them and the disciples speaking with boldness. Tonight we will consider what made their prayer so powerful.
The Power and Results of Corporate Prayer
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 6th March 2016 6:00pm | Acts 12
This week as we continue to explore the subject of prayer and fasting, I want to highlight the power and benefits of corporate prayer.
Fasting
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 28th February 2016 6:00pm
This Sunday evening I want to look at the subject of fasting. I believe it is a matter that is often misunderstood amongst church goers to the extent that its true purpose has been lost. So this evening we are going to examine what fasting is and isn't and understand why it can be effective. We will also examine whether food is just one of the many things we fast from.
The Power of Praise
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 21st February 2016 6:00pm | 2 Chronicles 20

by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 14th February 2016 6:00pm | Matthew 8:23-27

These same principles for victory applied in the final battle can be applied to our lives, and will ensure that we walk in triumph today.

Principles for Victory Part 6
by Pastor Ian Sharp, Sunday 17th January 2016 6:00pm
I did say that I had finished my series on Principles for Victory... maybe there are a few more messages. This Sunday evening I've entitled the message "Shake off the Serpent". The serpent typifies Satan, and he will attempt to clasp his bite into us, but we must shake him off. With determination we must not allow the enemy to prevent us from moving forward into the blessing God has for us. This Sunday evening I will examine the areas where Satan attempts to bite us, and share some practical steps as to how we can shake him off.
