Repairing Relationships

Posted by Hugh on Feb 27, 2010 in Sermons/Talks | 1 comment

I preached last Sunday night… we’re still in Proverbs… preaching it thematically…

I got the topic of Repairing Relationships… which is ironic at best. But it was good to use lots of resources collected on the topic of Forgiveness, lots of Keller influence who’s just very helpful at explaining and applying the Proverbs…

The Power of Words

Posted by Hugh on Dec 22, 2009 in Church, Sermons/Talks | 1 comment

We’re preaching through Proverbs at church… we did 1-9 expositionally and now we’re doing the rest thematically. I got to kick this off with the theme of Words. Most of the thinking is gleaned from Tim Keller… he’s pretty helpful.

Rich and Poor

Posted by Hugh on Dec 14, 2009 in Grace, Sermons/Talks | 0 comments

About 10 days ago I spoke at an International Carol Service… a traditional English Carol Service put on for the local international students with an evangelistic message.

I spoke on 2 Corinthians 8:9  -  “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich”

• Jesus was rich before His birth, but chose to became poor
• We are poor and need to become rich
• Jesus became poor so that we might become rich

Points shamelessly stolen from Christopher Ash, but the talk is mine.

Curry Night Jokes

Posted by Hugh on Dec 3, 2009 in Church, Sermons/Talks | 1 comment

Last night I spoke at an evangelistic curry night for our church 20s group… it’s always good to get rid of the awkwardness of doing a talk in a restaurant… a good way to do this is with a joke… here are my best three curry night jokes (courtesy of my friends Martin and Simon):

Joke 1:

So I had the Chicken Tarka tonight… it’s a new dish, similar to the Chicken Tikka, but a little ‘otter

Joke 2:

I phoned up here last night… I said do you de-liver… they said no, just chicken and lamb

Joke 3:

The waiter came over, said “Curry – oke”? I said not tonight, don’t fancy singing!
