Some
Sermons
In
the early days of Methodism, the term 'Local Preacher' marked the difference
between the lay-preacher who remained at home, preaching in his immediate
neighbourhood, and the 'Travelling Preacher' (nowadays known as ordained
Ministers) who gave up their fulltime occupations to travel and spread
the Gospel. Local Preachers remain an important part of the church
today. The House Group is fortunate to have had two dedicated Local
Preachers as members - David Allen and the late Cecil Mathers. We
therefore thought we would include a few of their sermons in text format.
Sometimes when a sermon particularly touches us, we wish we could hear
it all over again. Well, on this page, you can re-read your favourites
as often as you like! These are transcriptions of actual sermons preached
in various local churches. May you be blessed. Just click on
the preacher ...
Reflections
On this page we hope to provide
some thoughts, testimonies and articles that friends and members of the
House Group have shared. We hope you will find these reflections
thought-provoking. And don't forget - if you have something you'd
like to share, please feel free to contact us with your submission.
This page is for House Group web-friends too!
The
Lord's Supper
Taking
Holy Communion (or the Lord's Supper) is something every believer can do.
However, how do we prepare our hearts for this special act of worship?
Here are a few thoughts you might like to ponder.
Bookshelf
There
are so many Christian books available nowadays that sometimes it's hard
to choose, isn't it? Here are just a few titles that members of the
House Group have personally found interesting and would recommend to you.
Diary
Dates
Some
dates of forthcoming Christian events being held in Northern Ireland that
you might care to note in your diary. If you know of a special meeting,
please do let us know so that we can include it in our diary.

Links
Around the World

we have found around the world.
The
Refrigerator Door
And
finally, as there really wasn't a specific place to put these few quips,
quotes and pictures we decided, just for fun, to place them on a virtual
'fridge door! We hope you enjoy them.
Guestbook
- inactive at present ... sorry!
Due
to abusive 'spam attacks' we have been forced to close down our Guestbook.
We apologise to all those sincere people who have signed it in the past,
but we have had no choice but to remove what has been taken over by people
who wish only to post obscene messages. We do hope to find a new
guestbook host in the future.
