        11.00am Pastor Norman Roe will conduct Ebenezer Chapel morning worship as normal.

Conference goers are welcome to attend and we hope many will avail themselves of the opportunity to join the Lord’s people in worship.

In previous years these gatherings have been a great opportunity for believers in free grace to congregate from different parts of the country and meet like-minded friends. Part of the purpose of hosting the meetings in different venues is to make it more accessible for those who feel reluctant to make that initial journey, however, we hope that as well as new visitors, those who have benefitted from the preaching and fellowship in past years will join together again.

Visitors travelling from distance probably need to consider obtaining accommodation for both Friday and Saturday nights. Ossett town is very close to the M1 and situated between Dewsbury and Wakefield. This means there are plenty of hotels within a few miles of the church. In recent years a number of those attending have used Premier Inn and found them good value. Here are a few possible options:

Premier Inn Wakefield South - M1, Jct39 – tel: 0871 527 9118

Denby Dale Road | Calder Park, Wakefield WF4 3BB

Premier Inn Wakefield City North

Paragon Business Park, Herriot Way, Wakefield WF1 2UJ  – tel: 0871 527 9116

Premier Inn Wakefield Central

Denby Dale Road | Thornes Park, Wakefield WF2 8DY – tel: 0871 527 9114

Holiday Inn Wakefield M1, Jct. 40

Queens Drive, Ossett, Wakefield WF5 – tel: 0871 423 4876

BEST WESTERN Hotel St Pierre

733 Barnsley Road | Newmillerdam, Wakefield WF2 6QG – tel: 0345 025 4358

There are numerous small private hotels and B&Bs in the area, too. Prices begin at around £40 for a double room per night. 

Do consider coming to meet with together and being a part of this year’s event. There is no charge for the conference and meals will be provided. An opportunity will be available for those who are able to help defray costs.

We particularly recommend those attending to take advantage of one of the finest selections of new and secondhand reformed books in the country today. Ossett Christian Bookshop next door to Ebenezer Chapel will be open for browsing & buying on Friday and Saturday of the conference weekend.

Facebook Page

Regular visitors to Grace and Truth Online and this blog will have noticed that it hasn't been updated for a while. I apologise for this, but it is not down to inactivity on my part, simply a lack of activity 'here' (and some technical reasons which make it hard for me to update the original www.graceandtruthonline.com site). However, here are two sites which have much more regular updates: Firstly, the messages uploaded to FreeGraceRadio.com at: http://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?sortby=added&keyword=Ian%5EPotts&SpeakerOnly=true&currSection=sermonsspeaker&AudioOnly=false And secondly, the Honiton Sovereign Grace Church Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/Honiton-Sovereign-Grace-Church/230398673083

Grace & Truth Accommodation

I thought I’d bring to your attention a new website which you may find of interest, called ‘Grace & Truth Accommodation’.

As some may know, I work in computer software, and recently I’ve been developing a general holiday home rental website called Go2 Holidays (http://www.go2-holidays.com/ ). As a Christian I thought it would be nice to make use of the same technology to produce a similar website aimed specifically at listing Christian-run holiday homes and accommodation. We know a number of fellow Christians who have homes or B&Bs which they rent, and usually they advertise them in one or other of the well-known Christian magazines and papers, but we thought it might be useful to be able to have these on a website as a resource on which you can search and compare, view photographs of properties, check availability, and book (either by email or telephone etc). So, Grace & Truth Accommodation is the result. You can view the site here: http://www.go2-holidays.com/ChristianHolidays/

I hope the site proves useful to those of you seeking to find accommodation for when you are away. Also, if you are amongst those who happen to have a holiday home which you rent, or if you know a fellow Christian who does, then perhaps you or they might be interested in adding that property to the range listed on this site (it’s free by the way!). Full details of how to create an account and list properties is provided on the FAQ page at http://www.go2-holidays.com/ChristianHolidays/FAQ.aspx. In essence, for each property you simply need to enter details such as name, location, description, pricing and so on, and either provide a link to your own website, or provide email, telephone or postal address information in the description as a means of informing the user how to book.

I trust, either as a user, or as a property owner, that you’ll find this new site of interest.

Sunday 25th July and Sunday 1st August

Please note that there will be no meetings in Awliscombe on the Sundays of 25th July and 1st August. Normal service to resume thereafter!

In the meantime you may listen to recent messages at http://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?sortby=recent&keyword=Ian%5EPotts&SpeakerOnly=true&currSection=sermonsspeaker&AudioOnly=false

Awliscombe Sunday Morning Meetings

As friends, and regular visitors to our websites, will know we have held meetings in Honiton in our home since 1999, and since September 2008 have also held meetings in the village hall in the nearby village of Awliscombe on Sunday mornings at 10:45am.

With the Monday night meetings having gradually built up in number over the years to a regular group of between 8 and 12 usually being gathered, it was hoped at the commencement of Sunday mornings that a similar size group might, in due course, be gathered. However, despite occasional visitors, the Sunday mornings have continued to be very few in number in terms of who gather, and as such I do not feel that it can reasonably be described as a 'church' for the time being! So for now, I've revised the description on the Honiton SGC page and renamed the meetings as 'Honiton Sovereign Grace Meetings'.

Though our Sunday meetings are tiny in number (and now fewer than when we began) we still thank the Lord for His goodness towards us over the past year as we have looked to Him to bless the preaching of His word, to His glory alone. Whilst we cannot tell what the future holds, we nevertheless know that it is Christ alone who builds His church, that He uses His gospel to build it, and that wherever He sends forth His word it never returns unto Him void.

...And if you have a love for that gospel, or perhaps a desire to hear it for the first time, then we do of course extend a warm welcome to you to the meetings at Awliscombe.

Grace Hymns - Updated

Our Grace Hymns website (which contains a collection of hymn tunes - as MIDI files - which we have used at Honiton Sovereign Grace Church, and also provides a 'map' matching hymns from 'Gadsby's' Hymnal to the various tunes provided) has had a bit of an update. Along with a number of new tunes, there is also now a complete set of mapping pages for the 1156 hymns in Gadsby's Hymnal. Not every hymn in each page is yet mapped, but the majority are. Obviously there is a long way to go in terms of providing an extensive range of tunes, and good mapping from hymns to tunes, but little by little the website is progressing.

Those interested in Gadsby's Hymns will also be very interested to hear that you can now download the hymnbook as a Word file from here: Gospel Standard Trust Website – Downloads

SE London 'Mephibosheth Church'

For those residing in or around the Capital we would like to draw their attention to a small gathering of believers who meet in the South East London area.

For a while now Lou Boden and Denis Burns and their respective families have been gathering each week to worship the Lord - often hearing messages on tape by Don Fortner.

They describe their meeting as follows:

"We are a tiny gathering of saved sinners who are limping through this wilderness together leaving upon our Beloved".

If you would like to join with them, to hear the gospel and perhaps to encourage the brethren, then do contact them at:

mephiboshethchurch@yahoo.co.uk

Dennis Burns 0794 0456273

Christ is All

“In the gospel, in the preaching of the cross, in the faith once delivered unto the saints, in all that we preach… Christ is all. He is all. He is our message. He is in all we preach. He is all we preach. He is all. He is the only thing that we are sent to preach. There is no gospel without Christ. The gospel is Christ.”

Based on twelve messages delivered at Honiton Sovereign Grace Church, the new 'Christ is All' website seeks to present Christ in His gospel through exposition of Paul’s epistle to the Colossians.

The original audio messages are presented for each passage covered, transcripts of which, it is hoped, will eventually be included for each.

A Tribute to Jim Gough

At our conference in April we again had opportunity to share fellowship with our brother Jim Gough and his wife Eileen, whom we had first met in Honiton when Don Fortner came to preach for us back in 2007. Jim had appreciated Don’s ministry for some time and was involved that year, as with this, in arranging meetings for Don in the Wolverhampton/Dudley area. The Gough’s appreciation for the faithful preaching of the gospel was further demonstrated by the fact that this year they first travelled north to the New Focus conference in Egglesburn, before driving the Fortners back to Wolverhampton, and then following those meetings, driving them all the way down to Sidmouth for our own conference.

Following the meetings in Sidmouth, however, Jim had to undergo heart surgery, following a period of poor health. Two days after the surgery the Lord was pleased to call Jim home. We heard of this with heavy hearts, being full of sorrow for Jim’s family and friends, whilst rejoicing with Jim himself who is now with the Lord he loves. We will miss his fellowship.

When he heard about Jim, our brother Don Fortner wrote the following tribute:

A Tribute to Jim Gough
(1942 – 2009)

Shelby and I met Jim and Eileen Gough two years ago in Wolverhampton, England. Our hearts were immediately welded together in the sweet fellowship of the gospel. The Lord took our friend home to Glory Friday night. Very few who read our bulletin will even know the name of this man; and you may be wondering why you are reading about him now. The reason is this: Our God teaches us to give “honour to whom honour” is due. Jim Gough is a cherished friend and was (while he lived on this earth) a faithful servant of God.

Jim was an elder at West Park Evangelical Church in Wolverhampton; but that hardly tells the story of his service to Christ and his people. The West Park Church was formed when Jim, Eileen and a few others saw the need to establish a gospel witness in Wolverhampton. He was devoted to the cause of Christ, frequently preaching the gospel at West Park and in other area chapels. Just last week, he and I spent some time discussing one of his new projects: translating and publishing good books in various Indian dialects.

Though my time with him was very limited, I never spent an hour in the company of Jim Gough that was not edifying and profitable to my soul. What higher compliment could one man give to another? Our mutual friend, Bro. Syd Buggins, wrote to me this morning, saying…

“His whole conversation, especially during the last few years, was all of Christ. He could not pray or preach, but it was full of his Saviour. May we be able to say truly, ‘the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.’ ………… but O the loss!”


Jim and Eileen opened their home, their hearts and their lives to two strangers from America two years ago. They followed us all over England, insatiably absorbing every word preached. When we arrived in Egglesburn this year, we were delightfully surprised to learn that they had (along with Syd and Joan Buggins) rented a van to drive us from meeting to meeting, making it possible for the six of us to spend many hours together discussing the things of God.

One of the last things we spoke of was the fact that so few who preach, preach Christ. Jim was a soft spoken man who hated conflict and went out of his way to avoid confrontation; but his heart was heavy as he spoke. Yet, he spoke with animated excitement as he encouraged me in the blessed work of the gospel. The very last thing he said to me, as we parted company one week ago was, “Bro. Don, be sure to thank your beloved congregation at home for sending you to preach Christ to us.” — Bless God, soon, we shall meet to part no more!

Grace Hymns

I've begun to produce a new website which may be of interest to those who wish to find hymn tunes suitable for use with various hymns.

Grace Hymns collects together a number of hymn tunes (as MIDI files) which we have used at Honiton Sovereign Grace Church, and also provides a 'map' matching hymns from 'Gadsby's' Hymnal to the various tunes provided.

I hope to expand on the list (of both hymns and tunes) as time allows, but this is a beginning.

Crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20)

When Christ died, His people died with Him. When He was buried, they were buried with Him. And when He rose, they rose in Him (Galatians 2:20, Colossians 2:11-13). When considering the death of Christ, this unity, this oneness with Christ is often forgotten – we often, as it were, stand at a distance. But do you see yourself crucified with Christ? Paul did. When he saw Christ crucified, he saw himself, his old man in Adam, slain with Him. “For I am crucified with Christ” he declares in Galatians 2:20. Were you?

When we see this it will dispel much confusion regarding what happened at the cross. For confusion does arise from considering the believer and Christ as two who are separated – from viewing Christ and what happened to Him as ‘over there’, and the believer and what happens to him as ‘over here’. We’ll only really understand what happened at the cross when we realise that the believer and Christ were united at the cross, and not only in that union that stood between Christ and His people from all eternity, but also in the bringing of that people as they are in Adam - in the flesh - into union with Christ at the cross.

It is what believers are in Adam which God judged in Christ when they were united to Him in death. He became what they are, as sinful, fallen sons of Adam, that God might judge them in Him. United with Christ He became what they are – sin. And it is because of the reality of this union that God the Father poured out his vengeful wrath upon His own Son – the One in whom He is well pleased – in order to judge and destroy that very sin, and all that was of the first man Adam, in His Son. And it is because of the reality of this union, that when that sin had been utterly destroyed, and there was no more sin to judge, and no more sins to pay for, and nothing was seen by the eye of justice but the perfect righteousness of God in Christ, that God’s people were, as a result, made to be the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). Why? Because they are in Him, and their old man in Adam has been destroyed, and has died, in Christ.

Men may speak of imputation to describe such things. But such language can keep things ‘at a distance’. It keeps the believer and Christ apart at the cross. It, as it were, has the believer over here, and Christ over there, and it takes the believer’s sins and reckons them to be upon Christ, and He having died, it then takes His righteousness and accounts it to be the believer’s. But this is only half the story, for it falls far short of the full depths of the truth of substitution as set forth in the scriptures – it stops short of the reality of that mystical union between God’s people and Christ at the cross, of them being crucified with Christ, of them actually being united to Christ in His death, whilst in their old nature, in order that God might judge and destroy that very nature in His Son (Colossians 2:11, Romans 6:6) and deliver His people from both it and all its consequences, to deliver them from sin, and the consequence of sin – death (Romans 5:12).

Believer – when you understand the reality of how truly you were united with your Saviour at the cross, of how you died in Him, then, and only then, will you truly understand something of the depth of what He suffered, of what He did, for you as your substitute. All the pain, all the suffering, all the travail, all the anguish was His – but it was caused because we were in Him, our Substitute, in whom WE died… and in whom, WE rose again! Praise God!

“For I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20

The 2009 South West Sovereign Grace Conference

On Wednesday April 22nd and Thursday April 23rd 2009 we hope, in the will of the Lord, to host GraceAndTruthOnline.com’s 2009 Sovereign Grace Conference at the Sidholme Hotel in Sidmouth, Devon.

Following his visit to this area last year we are delighted to welcome back Pastor Don Fortner as our speaker and would like to invite all those who are able to come along and hear him on this special occasion.

Don Fortner’s ministry has been a great blessing to us over the years, a ministry in which the Lord Jesus Christ is always exalted. We trust that others too will find encouragement in hearing this ministry in Devon. May Christ be glorified in the preaching of His Gospel.

For the second year running our venue for the conference is the excellent Sidholme Hotel in Sidmouth Devon. This is situated about 30 minutes south of Honiton on the beautiful East Devon coastline. Not only will visitors be able to attend the meetings at the Conference, but for those who are travelling from afar and wish to make a break of it rooms are available at excellent rates at the hotel – this will also provide opportunity for fellowship with others staying at the hotel. Bookings can be made through the hotel website (http://www.sidholme.co.uk) or by telephone - 01395 515104 (Mention the Sovereign Grace Conference when booking). Alternatively there are of course a number of other good hotels and B+Bs throughout the East Devon area (a quick search on the internet should find some).

Please pencil the dates in your diaries! (April 22nd and 23rd, 2009)

The message behind Christmas

This is that time of year when the world is reminded - should it hear above the noise of its general celebrations - that Christ, the Son of God, came into this world.

But who is He? And why did He come? And where is He now?

Listen to “In Him should all fulness dwell” Colossians 1:19 for some answers.

Free Grace Meetings in USA

Regular visitors to http://www.freegraceradio.com/ may wonder where the various churches listed are actually located. Indeed, if they have been given a hunger and thirst after righteousness, and a love for the truth of the gospel as preached on there, they may well wonder whether there is a meeting within travelling distance of them.

Well, I recently wondered whether anyone had plotted the various meetings on a map... and in the end I decided to produce one. I hope the following may prove helpful to many:

Map of 'Free Grace' meetings in the USA

Honiton Sovereign Grace Church

Having met for nine years to worship God through hearing the preaching of the gospel in Honiton, on 21st September 2008 we commenced public meetings in Awliscombe village hall on Sunday mornings.

We extend a warm welcome to all in the area who wish to gather to worship God and hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Full details of these meetings can be read here.


At the first Sunday morning meeting of Honiton Sovereign Grace Church on 21st September we heard the following message preached.
“I was glad” Psalm 122:1 21-9-08 (Ian Potts)

A summary of the message on Lamentations 3:21 (Sunday 28th September) "The Lord will not cast off for ever" can be read here.

And the message delivered on Sunday 5th October was:
"Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?" Lamentations 1:12

Christ - The Sun of Righteousness

The book, 'Christ, the Sun of Righteousness', now has its own website. Similar in design to The Gospel of God this new website presents each chapter of the book in an easily accessible and readable format online, grouped under various categories, along with search facilities.

See: Christ - The Sun of Righteousness

Why do the heathen rage?

We live in days of great social change. Rapid change. Hardly a month seems to pass when some new law isn’t passed, or some movement appears to triumph in a further attempt to overthrow God’s order. In the last 50 years we’ve seen great changes in the fickle populace’s thinking regarding social and class order, the roles of the sexes, the place of marriage and the family in society, among many other things.

The world hails such changes as a ‘social revolution’. It delights in its supposedly new-found freedom and liberty. It prides itself in seemingly having overthrown the shackles of traditional, ‘fundamentalist’ values. With glee a ‘new order’, full of tolerance and freedom is greeted whilst discrimination of any kind is decried. Yet, in bemused puzzlement, the same champions of freedom scratch their heads wondering why homes break up, crime increases, companies collapse, discontent reigns, and misery mounts and children on the streets take up knives to murder one another.

Yet, undeterred, the wise leaders of our day, with increasing abandon, march on in their relentless attempts to break down every hurdle which stands in their way to social Utopia. And what really stands in their way? What hurdle proves the most irritating, the most vexing? Why, religion of course. And the Christian religion in general. And true Biblical Christianity in particular. With its clear declaration of Truth, and its absolute definitions of right and wrong, such a message is not only irritating, but an increasing source of rage and enmity to those who would seek to break its bands asunder. We live in days where opposition to the Truth has rarely been sounded louder. Those who despise the word and the truth of God seem to be playing a very loud tune all around us. And as their leaders play their pipes, millions of happy ‘children’, like bemused lemmings, gladly follow in their trail.

Set against such a tidal wave of thinking, of ever-changing public opinion, is the apparent decline in numbers of those attending professing Christian places of worship. Those who do are either in the minority, gathered with but a few, or they are among those who would continue to meet in larger congregations but in order to maintain their numbers have set aside the truth of the Bible and constantly modify their message in order to adapt to the liberal thinking of the world around them. We read of so-called churches and denominations debating the un-debatable. They pose questions which should never have been asked, based upon premises which should never have been set. They ponder the question of women ‘priests’ and of homosexual ‘clergy’. They set ‘modernists’ against ‘traditonalists’. And they seek each and every way to finding a unity with other ‘faiths’…. But having set aside the word of God, and ceased to take its message seriously, the leaders of such churches then wonder why the world has long-ceased to take them seriously.

Of course observing such changes can bring much grief to the hearts of those who love God and His word. To those who have been delivered from the darkness of this world, and the blindness of unbelief, from the depravity of the fallen heart of man, and the bondage of sin, to walk in a new and living way. Those who have been born again of God, having heard the Gospel of their salvation by Jesus Christ, knowing the forgiveness of sins, the hope of everlasting life and peace with God, those who now hate the evil in which they once indulged and love the righteousness of God as revealed in the Gospel. These will often grieve over the state of the professing church around them, and the folly of the nations in our day. For what foolishness is done in the name of Christ in the ‘churches’! And what little effect the testimony of such apostate churches seems to have in turning the tide of the times.

Yet, whilst it may well appear that the wicked prosper on every side and the righteous man faileth…. The truth is anything but! God has an answer and His answer has never changed. Having granted the people freedom to turn aside to their own ways, having given them over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28), God patiently sits upon His throne and watches as the world moves according to His eternal decrees and purposes. As time rolls incessantly towards that great day of the Lord when He will judge the world in righteousness, towards that day “when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel” Romans 2:16. That day, when, without respect to persons God will…

“Render to every man according to his deeds:
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil” Romans 2:6-9

Perhaps that day is not far off, perhaps it is many years away. But whether near, or whether far off, and whether the people continue to rage against the truth, or whether they receive the truth, the fact remains that nothing occurs in heaven or on earth which is outside of God’s will, not one of his purposes is thwarted, and not one of those for whom He gave His own Son as a sacrifice for sin in order to save them from death, and the deceits and delusions of this present world, will ever be lost. For God continues to declare the same glorious message of Salvation which He has done from the beginning of time. The message of Christ Crucified, the Gospel of God. The message of His grace towards sinners – the power of God unto salvation.

So, is there really a cause for the Christian to be discouraged or dismayed? Not at all – his victory is assured – assured – in Christ. For God reigns in righteousness by Jesus Christ over all His creation. May God give His people grace to rest in Him and His salvation. As we look upon our changing times and hear the empty cries and celebrations of those who vainly set their wills against God, rightly may we ask, with the words of the 2nd Psalm:

“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”

Christ, the Sun of Righteousness
By Ian Potts
Produced and Published by
Grace and Truth Online Publications
Honiton, Devon, England

This work largely comprises chapters based upon a number of articles which were originally published on the website “Grace and Truth Online.” A couple of the articles have also appeared in print in the pages of “New Focus” magazine.

My intention in this volume is to set forth some pictures of Christ as He is revealed throughout the scriptures. The whole message of the Bible regards the person and the work of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. He is to be found on every page of Holy Writ. He is the sum and substance of God’s message to lost mankind, He is the One through whom God reconciles sinners to Himself, He is the One through whom God reveals Himself to man, He is the One in whom all the blessings of God to His people are revealed. The Gospel of God concerns His Son, Jesus Christ, and the message of the Bible is one of the Salvation of sinners through Christ, by Free and Sovereign Grace. Yes, Christ is God’s message to man, so when we read the scriptures we look for Him.
Ian Potts

What Is An eBook?

The term 'Ebook' simply means "electronic book", meant for viewing on your computer. Ebooks are usually in Adobe PDF format. All that is required to read an Ebook is a software program called Adobe Acrobat Reader, which will open PDF files. Ebooks in the PDF format are compatible with both the MAC and PC operating systems. Most computers already have the Adobe Acrobat reader software installed, but in the rare instance your computer may not have it, or if you need the latest version, you can download "Reader" for FREE at http://www.adobe.com/.

Why Use An Ebook?

With an Ebook, you can read books on your computer screen and zoom in on the text to make the words as big as you would like them to be to read comfortably! You can also go to any page or chapter in the book with just a few mouse clicks, even if the book has thousands of pages! You can also print out any or all pages you like at your convenience. All of the eBooks on this site allow you to copy and paste the text of the book into another computer file, instead of retyping by hand. These are just a few of the features and conveniences of having a book in electronic format.

The Body of Moses

At our last Monday meeting in Honiton we heard a message by Don Fortner on the error of Balaam, from the book of Jude.

In reading Jude, a question was asked at the meeting about the meaning of 'the body of Moses' in verse 9. How encouraging then to come across the following message preached by Don Fortner on the Friday following, at the conference in Lantana. God's timing is always perfect.

For the answer to the question, have a listen to 'Michael, Satan and the body of Moses' (Jude 9) by Don Fortner.
