John France is CCF's current pastoral elder and has been in the church since 1971. In that time John has tackled a number of topics, recording more than 100 talks amongst which are 5 main series: Image Bearers, The Presence of God, Money, A Better Word and John's verse-by-verse look at Colossians. John has also contributed to a number of our other main series such as Discipleship and Work Out Your Salvation.

Page 1. We have 4 of John's major series listed below including the recently completed three talk set entitled 'A Better Word' (JF 75-77), dealing with the power of words, and the message they speak to us. There are also the 4 talks of the excellent Image Bearers series. The other studies listed below come from John's Money series tackling an area that many people shy away from for fear of controversy - particularly look out for To Tithe or not to tithe, Is that the question?

    Speaker: John France

    Price: £3.75

      The first of the 'A Better Word' series, given by John in the Spring/Summer of 2006. From his base passage in 1 Cor 14:10 "There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification" (NASB) John looks at the 'words' that are spoken out in this age of a cacophony of voices and the need to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. Looking first at the utterance of Abel's blood from the ground, John shows how Jesus' blood speaks out a 'better word'. Where Abel's blood speaks of envy, malice, anger and vengance, Jesus' blood speaks over the blood of Abel the atonement.

      The second of the 'A Better Word' series given by John in the Spring/Summer of 2006. John continues in this study to point out that we are called to be witnesses in action and word just as the Israelites were. Where their witness spoke of their being only one true God in Heaven ours speaks of the resurrection of Christ and all that entails. John also gives a basis for the power of testimony to the world - our first hand account of events.

      The last of the 'A Better Word' series given by John in the Spring/Summer of 2006. In this final study of the series, John notes that we must have something that the world does not. The world needs rescuing and where we are not firmly planted and rooted we offer no real help to anyone. We can only really give from that which we are living in. So the question comes how do we get to the place where we can confidently speak the word of faith?

      Part 1 of John's Image Bearers Series - Made in the Image. Much is conveyed by image so what is meant by our being made in the image of God. We are made as a separate or special creation. We are 'made' not just commanded to 'be'. We are the first mention of gender. Only we are given the authority of dominion. All this begs the question: 'What is God like?'

      Part 2 of John's Image Bearers Series - Image Lost, Image Restored. Man was made in the image of God. He was made to live indefinitely but having eaten of the fruit 'dying he died'. He had a real choice, a chance to be truely moral and truely free. For him to learn to be righteous he had to have this choice but the penalty was severe for disobedience. In Adam the image of God was lost and in Christ that image was restored.

      Part 3 of John's Image Bearers Series - Walking in the Image. Jesus exactly demonstrates the father - what He was/is doing and saying. He is the express image of God's person. The old man images that which is passing away, while the new man images the life to come - the life of Jesus. What do we bring when we meet people? We either bring God or we bring Satan and the reality is as stark as that! We are to move from glory to glory - if we don't we're missing something. Just as the disciples were shaped by their time with Jesus, so are we and we should be setting our eyes on things above. We need to be seeing, by the Spirit, Jesus in his Glory if we are to bring his image into the situations of our life.

      Part 4 of John's Image Bearers Series - Conformed to the Image. We shall see Him and we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is. Paul writes of the pointlessness of asking how we shall be conformed to His image. Just as we could not imagine that an acorn could bring forth a mighty oak without seeing it. Nor could wefathom what form the oak might take from the look of the seed. We cannot fully understand the glory of that which is to come but, hallelujah, we do get some hints from Jesus - from His words and His post resurrection body.

      Part 2 of John's Money series - Managing Money. We are called to be stewards of the gifts of God, including money. Not only that but we are to give an account for our stewardship. Poverty is not an excuse for bad stewardship, nor is it an excuse for lack of generosity. We are expected to be productive and faithful in our stewardship. Indeed laziness will surely bring about lack. We must be careful that we don't fall into habits of poor attention concerning that which we've been given. Ultimately, many good things come from diligence in such areas, not least authority.

      Part 3 of John's Money series - Debt Part 1. Is any form of debt wrong? Is it wrong to lend people money or only to be charging them interest on it? God always has a heart for the poor and does not want them to be abused. Help should be given to those in need - are we not called to love our neighbour. The question comes:'How to we go about this rightly, exercising the full wisdom of God?'

      Part 5 of John's Money series - Does God Want Us Rich?. One could ask whether God wants us poor? The answer to both questions produces a range of answers and justifications, however it is important when thinking about this to get the correct perspective of how are riches are counted. John speaks on the approaches that many take including imposed poverty and prosperity teaching. So what should our attitude towards riches be?

      Part 6 of John's Money series - the Joy & Grace of Giving. What is our attitude to giving? Is it a joy or is it an unwillingly entered act of obedience? John looks at the attitude we are called to and the benefits of giving with a cheerful heart. It is certainly true that God is never in our debt howeve God does reward those who put their trust in Him. Sometimes we miss out on God's blessing simply because we lack generosity in our giving.

John looks at the history of tithing, its nature and the benefits and disadvantages of it before outlining the principles of giving as laid out in the Bible.
