News regarding the author of this website.
On the 6th January 2010 sadly the author of this website, Rev Dennis Reynolds, died after a short illness. His sermons are still here to read on this site but there is no one to answer emails.
His family hope that these sermons will be of help to you.
He wanted his life to be summed in the following words:
He lived as he died continually amazed at the mercy love and grace of God in Christ.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
‘In the name of Jesus Christ’, or ‘Through Jesus Christ, our Lord’ are words very often used by Christians, when ending a prayer.
How does Christ continue to minister to the world he loves? (John 3: 14-21 Colossians 3: 12-17 Romans 8: 1-5)
Christ’s earthly ministry was 'particular', in that it established the Kingdom of God on earth, in a new way. And it was 'limited', because; once the Kingdom had been established; other, more ongoing, spiritual ministries would be required.
JESUS - FRIEND OF SINNERS. (Matthew 11: 16-19 & John 8: 1-11).
'Friend of Sinners' is one of the 134 names and titles of Christ, in the Bible; but it is not a great one.
CHRIST THE WORKER OF MIRACLES.
A 'Miracle’ may be defined as: ‘an event that is unexplainable by natural laws, and, therefore, is held to be supernatural in origin, or 'an act of God’.
CHRIST THE TEACHER - 2009, Matt. 5: 13-20, John 6: 25-40
Christ’s teachings are the basis upon which the Christian Church is founded: and our own lives of faith are established.
THE HEALING CHRIST Some biblical aspects of the mind.
Although the gospels tell us that Jesus Christ performed large numbers of healing miracles: only a few of them are described in any detail. Those that are described: mostly relate to physical illnesses and disorders: such as leprosy, blindness, paralysis and so on.
‘WHAT ON EARTH IS THE CHURCH FOR?’
The Christian religion is not to be equated with the Christian Church: because there is a very real, essential-to-life difference between the two.
THE WITNESSING COMMUNITY.
In some situations, our attention can become so focused upon what appears to be happening; that what is actually happening is missed. I saw an example of this, one afternoon, in London.
THE WAY OF EVANGELISM - FRUITFULNESS. (BEING BASED UPON 'I AM THE TRUE VINE’, AT JOHN 15.1-17).
When Jesus illustrated his teachings, with well-known picture-language images; and did not alter the meaning of them; the crowds were happy - including the Pharisees.
