An All Round Faith – Free At Last!

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.

It’s over to us now…

Jonathan preaches on Acts 1 vs 6-11.

God is working His purposes out through us and we are to be God’s witnesses throughout the world. It’s something we can’t do in our own strength, but we have the gift of the Holy Spirit in us to help us in this task.

Whilst the disciples were the starting 11 for this on-going mission, we are the current team.

Who is God?

How do we know what God is really like? Chris highlights three ways to discover who God is: Creation, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We are invited to move forward in faith based on the evidence of these revelations of God’s character and His promises.

God’s Dwelling Place – A Summary

Due to issues with the recording of this week’s sermon unfortunately we cannot bring you the podcast this week. We apologise for the interruption this week, however this is a great opportunity to review the series and reflect on what you have heard from God over the past few weeks. The podcast will return as usual next week as Chris begins to lead us through his 2018 summer series.

God’s Dwelling Place: In Us

We are the next decisive and shocking step in God’s dwelling place plan.  All the fullness of God dwelt in Jesus and through His finished work that Fullness comes to dwell those who accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour.  We are being built into a temple of the Spirit – individually and corporately.  We can therefore seek God’s manifest presence in our gatherings and in our hearts.

God’s Dwelling Place: In Jesus

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.
