A Life Used by God by Dr Peter Masters (Morning Teaching Service)
1 Peter 3.8-18 A good and enjoyable life to the Christian is one that counts for the faith and the Gospel, in one's business setting, family or church, and here the apostle Peter says how such a life may be secured.


A Classic Spiritual Journey by Dr Peter Masters (Evening Evangelistic Service)
Acts 8.35 When the Chancellor of Ethiopia was met on the Jerusalem-Gaza road by Philip, an evangelist of the early church, it proved to be the climax of a spiritual journey. Here is much help for finding Christ in a living way.

Harvesting Assurance from 1 John

by Dr Peter Masters (Midweek Bible Study)
1 John 4.4 Beside the five tests of spiritual life repeated several times in this letter, there are many more single-verse wonderful assurances in the first two chapters, and here they are all reviewed. Powerful encouragement!.


Signs of Spiritual Life

by Dr Peter Masters (Midweek Bible Study)
1 John 1.1 This remarkable letter is a book of assurance, and this message reviews the principal signs of conversion.


Christian Marriage by Dr Peter Masters (Morning Teaching Service)
1 Peter 3.1-9 Both husbands and wives are to submit to the God-given standards and policy for marriage, and this passage describes the beautiful and effective rules for marriage which bring deepening love, great happiness and fulfilment.


Healing for Disabled Souls by Dr Peter Masters (Evening Evangelistic Service)
Isaiah 35.5-6 A remarkable prophecy about Christ's healings was fulfilled when He healed blind, deaf, crippled and dumb people in their thousands to illustrate what He can do for the non-functioning soul.

A Christian's Influence by Dr Peter Masters (Morning Teaching Service)
1 Peter 2.11-25 Following Christ stirs harsh criticism, but here is a firm promise that godly living is used by God to save others. God has put into man's mind a need for order and government, and Christians must be the first to honour this. Here, also, the atoning death of Christ is displayed.


The Day of Judgement by Dr Peter Masters (Evening Evangelistic Service)
Matthew 25.31 Christ’s teaching that he will return to this world in power and judgement, dividing mankind into those eternally saved and those lost, moves us to see all things, and our own lives, in the context of eternity.

The Church as Prophesied by Dr Peter Masters (Morning Teaching Service)
1 Peter 2.6-12 Prophecies about the Church are here shown to be at the very heart of the Old Testament; and in this passage Peter appropriates several special descriptions of Israel and transfers them to the Church. Here, also, are uplifting and challenging references to Christ as the cornerstone.


Are We Fighting God? by Dr Peter Masters (Evening Evangelistic Service)
Luke 14.33 Among Christ's most intriguing parables were two linked together - the man building the tower and the king who went to war. Both help us to see the futility of struggling against God, and his amazing kindness to those who yield to him.

Advice for Prayer, Praise and Worship

by Dr Peter Masters (Midweek Bible Study)
Colossians 3.16 Christ – named and praised – is the centre of worship whether by hymn, prayer or preaching. This study also traces the components of worship from Revelation 4-5, and explains the basis on which hymns are chosen for worship, and why some are unsuitable. Here also is advice for personal devotions.

Christ has designed a ‘home’ or family for his people, described in these pages as an accomplishment of divine genius. This is a magnificent subject, vital to spiritual growth and blessing and also to our service for the Saviour. This book answers many questions about churches and church membership in New Testament times. Next to having a real walk with Christ and knowing the doctrines of the faith, membership of a good church has a powerful formative influence on the believer’s life.
