Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // The Scarlet Cord // Steve AdsheadIn the same way we also cannot be saved by simply knowing who God is, or even by knowing a lot about God, or even by doing stuff for God, or by thinking that just because God is merciful that He will save me anyway. No, we must display - for all to see, both our faith and our works, because on judgement day God is only looking for those people who are displaying the scarlet cord.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // You Are The Light // Steve AdsheadSo, in summary we must be the light of the world, we must demonstrate the light of the world, and we must remain in the light of the world.“You are the light of the World” We are not Jesus, but if Jesus lives in us, and if we remain in Him, we will be totally unable to hide that fact. Then we will shine like Jesus and we will be “The light of the world” that Jesus asked us to be.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // Raising Lazarus // Steve AdsheadIf we confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we will be saved. The seven miracles in John give us all the evidence we need to be certain that Jesus is who He says He is. Make sure your story ends in life. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord WILL be saved”

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // Healing the Lame Man // Steve AdsheadThis miracle demonstrates Jesus authority over time. Just because the man had been ill for 38 years did not mean that he was beyond saving, just because we have long standing problems we have in our lives does not mean that Jesus cannot deal with them.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // Healing the Officials Son // Steve AdsheadThe miracle of the healing of the Officials son shows that Jesus has authority over distance. He is Lord over all of creation, He has no need to be present and healing can take place anywhere that God so chooses. By faith, when we pray, we should take time to listen to what God is saying, perhaps one day He will ask you to pray into a situation you know nothing about. When He does, and you see the results, you will be both amazed and encouraged.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // 7 Miracles Intro // Steve AdsheadToday we are starting a new series, which will run for the next 8 or so weeks. Over this time we are going to be looking at the Gospel of John and in particular the seven miracles that John writes about. With our Pastor Andy away it is going to fall to myself and Jamie to cover most of these. This week I am going to do an introduction with a broad overall picture of the Gospel so that over the next 7 weeks we can place the miracles into a proper context.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // Hope of the Resurrection // Steve AdsheadThe man knew what he had done and he knew what the consequences were. An unbridgeable gap had opened up, he now had a finite life, after which he would for ever be on the wrong side of that gap for ever. I think if I had been in that situation I would have been utterly without hope.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // Mind The Gap - All Scripture is God Breathed // Steve Adshead"Don’t allow the culture of this day and age to cause you to misinterpret Scripture. Let Jesus speak to you directly from His word and let his breath change you to be more like Him as the day of His return approaches. Will you have the courage to be culturally changed?

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // Big Picture - John // Steve AdsheadGreatest man in history; … had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb yet He lives today— His name is Jesus.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsSUNDAY SERVICE // Big Picture - Preparing to Return // Steve AdsheadLike the Israelites preparing to leave Babylon to return home so we should be preparing to leave this earth behind to return to heaven. We should be looking forward to it as eagerly as we look forward to a holiday, and we should prepare for it as thoroughly as we prepare for the unexpected events of this world.

This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it, Love your neighbour as yourself. All the Law and the prophets hang on these two commandments”

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Summer Rain // Steve AdsheadThe following day the contrast could not have been more marked. It was cold and wet and windy. Thoroughly miserable. I remember that Autumn had truly arrived. I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised that, at the end of September, it was going colder, after all this is what is supposed to happen at this time of year.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // The End // Steve AdsheadIt is sometimes said that “All good things must come to an end” This thought seems to be rooted in our very British opinion that we don't deserve to have good things. We need to have something to moan about and that won't happen if things in our life are good. Well right now one good thing is coming to and end, and that is the beacons.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Good Steward // Steve AdsheadIt's been very warm recently. Warm weather seems to divide us into two camps, those who like it hot and those who don't. I have to say that I am in the latter group, hot weather slows me down and I can't get anything done. As I write this beacon it is 28 degrees in my house so it is a miracle that I am even writing at all.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Dates // Steve AdsheadDates; the wonderful thing about the English language is that one word can have two very different meanings. On the one hand a date could be just be a marker of time, or maybe a special occasion where two people spend time together, or on the other hand it could be that sticky dried fruit that you eat at Christmas.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Keep On Praying // Steve AdsheadOne of the questions that Christians frequently ask is “Why doesn't God answer my prayers?” You know that feeling, you ask for something, you feel it is right to do so, you ask repeatedly over a period of time and still nothing happens. This can be disheartening or discouraging, it can lead to doubts or even a loss of faith, so it is important to understand why this sometimes happens..

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Keep On Running // Steve AdsheadIt is always sad when someone passes away. For close family or friends the loss is felt the most, for more distant family or friends less so but there will still be a time of mourning or reflection. For most of the rest of us we might not even know someone has died, the only way of knowing is if we happen to see a report in the newspaper or perhaps, in this modern age, in a facebook post.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Important Parts // Steve AdsheadHow are you feeling today? Do you feel useful? Are you happy with your contribution in life? I know that in our household we often “discuss” who is doing the most washing up or the most ironing. Of course this isn't what we are really discussing, the real agenda is “I'm doing more than you, you ought to do more”.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Accounts // Steve AdsheadIt's that time of year when accountants can start to relax a bit. From the start of April to the end of May they are busy poring over figures that relate to the previous financial year. Taxes have to be paid and reports prepared. Investors and shareholders want to know how their company is doing.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // All Mixed In // Steve AdsheadNow you might be wondering whether I am going to talk about separating the good from the bad, like the wheat and the chaff, or the sheep and the goats, but no, or maybe the seed on the good soil, but not that subject either. Today I am talking about belonging, and we will see where my garden story fits in later.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // But a Breath // Steve AdsheadOne thing that has not changed though is that this life is still “but a breath”, it is brief, whether we are godly or not; so we should take note of David's advice and Jesus example in the presence of the ungodly.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // These Are The Hands // Steve AdsheadThe recent COVID emergency has brought some really difficult times.

That said, there have also been some striking examples of service and, some well deserved recognition of that service.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Where's Your Heart? // Bekah BakerLast week I was having an interesting discussion with Andy and Steve Adshead.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // The Train // Steve AdsheadNow you have to understand that I was quite keen on trains, I travelled on them whenever and wherever I could, I took photos of them, and I confess that I also wrote down the numbers. I even had a model railway at one time and I was quite excited at the prospect of getting to ride on a train that many others wouldn't, maybe God would even let me drive this train.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Three In One // Steve AdsheadTelevision was one of the greatest inventions of the last Century. It has become one of the essentials of life, something that few of us can ever remember being without. I have to say I don't watch a huge amount of television but it does provide a useful source of entertainment from time to time.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Soup // Steve AdsheadWell I had a day at home and although I had work to do I had agreed that it would be my turn to make Dinner. The day before we had a Turkey thigh, which I had slow cooked for 8 hours, so we had a big bowl of stock to use and it made perfect sense to me to make a soup. I will leave it to you to guess what was added to the soup but I can assure you the result was well worth the effort

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Gone to the Wall // Steve AdsheadThe phrase often used when businesses close is “Gone to the wall”. We have heard this many times recently but where does this rather odd phrase come from? Well before a business goes to the wall, and it can be seen beforehand that this is going to happen we say that “The writing is on the wall” for that business.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Folded Grave Clothes // Steve AdsheadIf there is one household chore that really seems to divide opinions it is ironing. I quite like it, albeit in small doses, my wife however hates it and would rather I do all of it. Ironing comes at the end of the laundry process. First the clothes have to be washed, made clean, with all the stains removed. Then they have to be dried, carefully, to avoid too many creases. And lastly the ironing, folding and putting them away, ready to use again.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Happy New Year // Steve AdsheadThere is a question which I have often pondered at this time of year, and it is this; on what day do I stop wishing people a Happy New Year? If I see somebody for the first time in March or April, is it too late to wish them a Happy New Year? Answers on a postcard please, but one thing is for sure, as this is my first Beacon of the year it isn't too late, so Happy New Year everybody

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Praise Him Praise Him // Steve AdsheadWe recently opened the church for the first time on a Sunday after the lock-down. At that service we sang “Praise my soul the King of Heaven”. This song features the repeated refrain “Praise Him Praise Him” which reminds me that it is really important that as Christians we praise God.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Effective Prayer // Steve AdsheadThe recent change in the COVID restrictions around Greater Manchester have made it seem as though what we previously knew as normality is still a long way off.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Run to Win // Steve AdsheadOne aspect of the lock-down that some of you may have noticed has been the lack of competitive sport of television, or indeed for people to go and watch in person. This has meant that on TV and online we have had a surfeit of re-runs of great sporting moments, one of which which reminded me of a passage in the bible. We will come to the event in a moment but lets start with some words from the bible written by the apostle Paul to some friends in Corinth to encourage them in their faith.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Follow The Arrows // Steve AdsheadOne of the many things that have noticeably changed during the recent lockdown is peoples shopping habits. Having to queue outside in the rain, follow at a safe distance and only buy 2 toilet rolls at a time are all new concepts to us. One change that we have made is to go to alternative supermarkets that we don't normally go to.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Locked And Bolted // Steve AdsheadGates are generally used to control access.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Wisdom // Steve AdsheadGod spoke to me directly. I believed, as so many do, that this world was created by “accident”. A “big bang” followed by billions of years of accidental chemical reactions all bringing us to where we are now. God just asked me the question “Do you really think all this happened by accident?”

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Prayer Part 2 // Steve AdsheadLast time I spoke I talked about some of the aspects of the Lord's Prayer. Many of us see prayer as a time when we ask for stuff. Now there is nothing wrong with asking for stuff, in fact God wants us to seek Him for His provision as it delights Him for us to be getting involved in His work.

Coach House Talks and BeaconsBEACON // Worried? // Steve AdsheadWe hear a lot in the media these days about how to look after our mental health.

Sometimes these worries get worse and become anxieties.
