Young Adults Evening Service. A follow up to our four part ‘Christianity According to Jesus’ series. What’s the foundation of your life? This is a critical question, and we hardly ever consider it. Living ‘Jesus Shaped Lives’ requires not only hearing and believing, but also doing. Jesus demands ongoing change of behaviour. The question is: […]
Young Adults Evening Service. We need to fight against instant gratification and private indulgence and look instead to eternity, God’s glory and others’ good.
The second of a three part series on the book of Joel. At your lowest point God calls you to hope in His abundant grace. There are three main points in this sermon: 1. The Call to Seek the Lord’s Mercy (Joel 2: 12-17) 2. The Answer of the Lord’s Blessings (Joel 2: 18-27) 3. […]
