Latest Sermons:
- Hope for Peace (Micah 4:1-4)
“He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation nor will they train for war anymore.” – (Micah 4:3) How much better if there was no possibility of war? People would not die needlessly, economies would not be damaged and increased resources could be put into improving our world. That is a dream that has existed for centuries and is expressed so powerfully by Isaiah in the verse above. Jesus says, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’ Let’s do our bit to pray and work for peace. - Christian Growth 101: Prayer (Nehemiah 1)
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” – (Ephesians 6:18) This Sunday we look at one of the building blocks of how we grow as Christians: Prayer. - Bible Sunday (Psalm 19)
“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer” – (Psalm 19:14) This Sunday is an all-age service focussing on the Bible. It is the first in a four-part series on the basics of Christian growth.
