In Mark 10 Jesus focuses on how we can enter the Kingdom of God. His teaching calls for a radical reversal of all we might think. We can not be good enough. Our hearts are hard. Our leadership aspirations are deeply flawed. Jesus is our ransom to set us free. Only when we recognise that it is impossible for us to change ourselves can we be saved by faith in the God of the impossible. What needs to change in our lives in the light of this revelation?
Some of the most important things in life are imperceptable to our 5 senses. There is a spiritual dimension to life which is vitally important but not always visible. In this service we learn about Jesus who makes the invisible God visible and think about how we might respond.
The Kingdom of Heaven is brought into the suffering and brokenness of the world through Jesus. In this passage we see a revelation of the heavenly reality breaking in. Jesus then teaches about the implications of His coming kingdom for personal holiness and our relationships with each other. We are called to join Him in bringing the Kingdom of heaven to a suffering world.
How does the cross show love? What is the significance of the resurrection? How should we respond? Reminders of the revelation of the cross and resurrection.
Susan leads a meditation on what Good Friday meant to those who were there and what it means to us now. Chris then leads us through Communion, reflecting on the symbolism of Christ’s Last Supper.
Jesus invites all to come to Him. He calls us to enter His kingdom as little children. He has done all that is needed for us to become part of His team, will you make Hime Lord and follow Him?
Jesus appeared to the disciples over 40 days with many convincing proofs. Chris examines what Jesus did during that time, the significance of the ascension and challenges us to respond in the light of Jesus priorities.
As we continue our exploration of the resurrection appearances of Jesus, this week we focus on Jesus’ appearance by the sea of Galilee. We are invited to consider if we demonstrate our love for Jesus through our love for His people. Jesus restores us by bringing us back to the core of faith – do you love me?
‘Doubting’ Thomas wasn’t present when the risen Jesus first appeared to his disciples, so took some convincing that Jesus had, indeed, risen from the dead. It was only some time later, when he was able to see and touch Jesus, that he stopped doubting, and believed and worshipped. Chris preaches on John 20:24-31 and challenges us to respond to Jesus’ resurrection by choosing to believe and worship the risen Christ.
Unfortunately no audio recording is available for this sermon, but sermon notes are available for download.
On the evening after Jesus rose from the dead, two disciples were travelling to Emmaus. On the way they met someone they didn’t expect to see. Meanwhile in Jerusalem, the remaining eleven apostles were gathered trying to decide what to do next when suddenly something amazing happened. Susan explores the effect these events had on the disciples and their continual effect in our lives today.
