Do you “Seek First The Kingdom”?
“Seek First The Kingdom” – Luke 13:10-21 – Branches Church HB – May 28th 2017 As believers, now that we have been “hidden in Christ” do we continue to “Seek first The Kingdom”? Why would Jesus call us to do this, and if we do or don’t, will it make a difference? “In this message, Brian Sumner […]
Evangelism, a lost art?
“Missions exists because worship doesn’t” writes John Piper. And how true this statement is. At a time when the American church, often looks more like a launching pad for Entrepreneurial Pastors, a place to set trends, or as competing arenas for filling seats, is it possible we have missed what we find at the […]
Do you see Jesus as He truly is? The Transfiguration? The Shekinah Glory?
How often are we disgruntled, challenged, shaken, while still we are meant to have faith in Christ? Having faith in The Savior does not always mean we are as bold, and confident as we should be. As much as we believe in God, have had an encounter with Jesus and have been born again, the […]

The “Transfiguration”. Luke 9:27-37.
Having just performed many miracles, and then asking the disciples who they say Jesus is, we see that they are shaken to the core, as Jesus begins to reveal His journey towards The Cross. So many supposed Messiahs have come and gone, with many of them dying, even being crucified. So what makes Jesus any different? […]
Is God Jealous?
“Is God Jealous?” Richard Dawkins and Oprah have both settled on their understanding of The God of the Bible, and His being “jealous”. Are they, like many, basing their findings on opinion, or what God Himself choses to reveal to us about His Jealous character? Some years ago I partnered with a friends ministry […]
Based on Luke 8:40-56, we look at how “Jesus Restores”.
The Woman with the issue of blood, and Jairus’s daughter? What do we see in these stories that reveals the restoration Jesus brings? As we close out Luke chapter 8, Jesus raises a dead girl and heals a woman who was sick. Defying societal expectations, Jesus does a healing for two people on opposite sides […]
“Daughter” or “Son”, do you know who you are in Christ?
Do you truly know your worth in Christ? For many believers today, wether raised with-in the […]
The Gospel? What is The Great Commission? “Love and Truth in Action”.
Scripture: Matthew 28:20 August 2016 – CreationFest – Cornwall, England Continuing along with the theme for the festival “Love and Truth in Action”, we look at how Jesus came boldly, to reach that which was lost, and likewise how we are called to continue living out The Great Co-Mission.
Thoughts on “Marriage” from the first five chapters of the “Never Fails” book.
How is your marriage? Do you understand what marriage is? Are you struggling? Living with yourself as the center? Ready to give up? Considering divorce? Are you aware of Gods plan for not only your marriage, but your life? Not being raised in the faith, we were married, pregnant, and soon divorced. We had wrote […]
Elijah, his plans, and The Lords? Sermon on 1 Kings 19. †
Luke 5:27-39
A lowest of the rung tax collector called “Levi”, not able to visit the synagogues, an outcast from his own people, sitting in his booth feeling less than, and who should he look upon? Who should come walking towards him after having healed a paralytic man? Jesus! Levi had no hope, no where to turn, […]
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month!
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month! Yes, it is, and how significant is it? I am not one for politics in particular, but if I were to run for President, (which would be impossible as an English man, who is now an American Citizen) one of my main focuses would be Suicide! Not only because I am […]

Recent Marriage Panel! Five of us were able to share our experiences, based on Gods Word for our marriages.
Lots of marriage panels and sermons lately. Can feel the season shaping for wifey and myself. We have had the worst of struggles, but God is still pastoring marriages.

Marriage Series launch in Arizona!
Saturday and Sunday my wife and I were able to share at our good friends church. We helped launched a marriage series, a six week one they had based on our recent book. As the night was over and even the next day people were talking about canceling the divorce papers they had filed, about […]
Recent sermon on “Love and Truth” in action based on Matthew 28:20. From Creation Fest Cornwall.
When we think of Jesus, we often think of an event in history, a time and place where God intervened and did something special. Yet God has always been intervening, always doing something other-worldly and special. What was it Jesus came to say? What was it He helped us to understand? What was it He […]
