Prepared to Serve
Sermons by Chris Johnson (Page 31)
In this Christmas-morning service, Chris looks at the role of the Holy Spirit in the Incarnation and challenges us to allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives.
From the first Christmas to today, Jesus turns the world Outside-In. Everyone is included. Everyone is Invited.
Chris Johnson preaches at our Carols by Candlelight service.
Knowing who we are waiting for makes all the difference to how we wait. Chris unpacks the meaning of the parousia and the revealing of Christ showing how they relate to Jesus promise to return and His promise to be with us always.
At Advent we often focus on the birth of Jesus at Christmas but it is also a time to think about the ways in which His birth changed the world forever and opened a whole new way to relate to our Father in Heaven. We are called to live differently because we live in the last days. Chris highlights some of the key differences revealed in scripture.

The power of Jesus, faith and practical help come together to bring wholeness to those who are suffering. Jesus words to Jairus still ring true “Don’t be afraid, just believe.” Chris applies the passage to healing today and invites any who are suffering to come to Jesus in the same way.
How can we know love, joy and peace which our circumstance cannot destroy? How can we leave a legacy which time cannot destroy? Chris aplies the teaching of Jesus and invites us to keep on asking, seeking and knocking.
Jesus explained that the word of God was to be scatters widely. His Light was to be allowed to shine. The places of growth can be surprising and the mysterious. Chris challenges us to listen to Jesus teaching and invite widely. Do we still have no faith?
