Why should we trust Jesus? This passage gives us three reasons to trust Jesus in every storm of our life: 1) because he is a promise-keeper, 2) because he is a present help, 3) because he has a supernatural power to calm everything
Abi is the Pastor of the St. Andrews Baptist Church and we had the joy of him speaking to us this Sunday!
Toby follows on from Jim last week giving a part 2 on Jesus’ parable on the prodigal son and what it has to tell us about God.
Jesus tells a story about “what God is like” that is deeply challenging. God’s forgiveness and grace is outrageous, scandalous, and means that any of us can come back to Him without having to jump through hoops.
As a seasonal exercise, this passage calls us not to resolutions as to what we will and will not do in the coming year. I call us to change our mindset:-radically.
Jim takes us through the angels' appearing to the shepherds, what it tells us about how God wanted to share His good news of Christmas, and what we can learn from it for sharing God's good news with those in our lives.
God shares His good news by inviting a young women of low social standing to play her part in bringing in His Kingdom. Mary's response is staggeringly obedient and powerfully tender. What can we learn from this story as we look to share the good news with those around us?
God uses two faithful but ordinary people to share the news that His rescue mission is about to begin, He shows us how He cares for both His big-picture plan and Zechariah and Elizabeth's personal story. We see how they respond to God on the move and ask what we can learn from those responses.
To kick off our Advent series, we look at how God shares his plan with his people in John 1 by sending his divine Word into the world, and what it looks like for us to join him in witnessing about his plan.
Jim brings the "Holy Spirit Empowered Church" series to a close with a look at the final line of our Acts 2 passage, and asks what it would look like for Kingdom Vineyard to enjoy the favour of all the people, and for the Lord to be adding to our number those who are being saved.
Worship encompasses everything that we do in our lives, but it comes into focus in acts of liturgical celebration. This is an outline of the values that underlie the particular liturgies of our particular expression of church.
