This All Age service was led by James Webb and Chris Johnson. It was an interactive service so we didn’t have a sermon but we do have the passages and some questions for you to reflect on with a brief summary of the key points. How can you tell if someone else is angry? When…
As we believe in Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we seek to draw close to Him and in following Him we learn to follow His ways. The more we follow His ways the closer we follow Him and the more we learn about His ways.
The way in which Jesus brings light to a man born blind illustrates how His life brings light to all who will go where He sends them. Are you willing to go?
John tells us that Jesus’ life is the light of the world. The world is divided into two parts. The people who want to hide from that light and those who are drawn to trust in the life of Jesus so much that they change their behaviour. Hear what it means to believe in Jesus.
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.
The resurrection lies at the heart of the Christian faith– without the resurrection we could have no way of knowing that the cross was anything more than an act of self-sacrifice. As we have a risen Saviour there is no situation beyond His power to resurrect. The power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in you.
We are invited to become part of God’s team, receiving from Him and passing on the blessings we receive but will we drop the baton?
This week we look at the illustration of Dressage. Dressage means training. Jesus calls us to be disciples – learners. So, every believer is being trained. This training involves cooperation with Jesus – He does not force us to obey Him but we learn to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Chris seeks to apply this and outline practical ways to walk in step with the Spirit.
Jesus is the exact representation of God. God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in Him. Jesus is the true Israel, the tent of meeting, the temple, through Him we find the way to reconciliation with God. Last week we thought about pressing into the holy of holies to meet with God. This week we hear Jesus’ invitation to be immersed in the unity of Father, Son and Spirit. We are invited to dwell in God.
