by Jon Bowles

Given in Oswestry UK 12 March 2005

He says: "A modern dictator with the resources of science at his disposal can easily lead the public on from day to day, destroying all persistency of thought and aim, so that the memory is blurred by the multiplicity of daily news and judgment baffled by its perversion" (3.4 Mb)

The Plague of Our Heart
Given Peterborough Canada 12 Feb 2005
This sermon examines how Solomon's prayer at the dedication of the temple, ties an answer to prayer with someone understanding the "plague of his own heart" (1Kings 8:38). If we do not accurately assess this vital aspect within our own lives, then we too will fail to have the answers from God we need. Yet the only way we can truly be free of this plague - is by being converted by God Himself, through His Spirit. (8.8 Mb)
