Sermons on Jesus' Life
This I Believe [The Creed] (Behind the music)
Each song we sing as a church has a foundation in the Bible. In this series we’ll dig deeper into the stories and passages that have shaped a particular song. This series will grow your understanding of the Bible and your desire to worship God through song. This week Geoff talked about the biblical, historical and recent origins of the song ‘This I Believe (The Creed)’ by Hillsong. You can listen to the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtUNQpu2b7Q Here is the original…

Take Action (Putting your faith into action)
Jesus came to open eyes, free captives and bring light to those in darkness. What is our active role in this ministry of Christ? When we see need in the world, what action can we take? How does what we believe impact whether we help or ignore the people around us? Having faith in Jesus naturally leads to a concern for others. Not just others in the church, but all people. The Apostle Paul wrote that we should have the…
Sit Beside (Putting your faith into action)
Time is a great gift. We see that Jesus would often stop and have conversations with people. He gave them time in a busy schedule. He went into the homes of those who were cast out and had meals with those whom society wouldn’t touch. This gift of time radically transformed lives. How can we sit beside people today? How do we respond when those we sit beside live in sin? Having faith in Jesus naturally leads to a concern…
Does your God look like Jesus?
When we read the Old Testament it can seem like God is a completely different person – like he changed his personality when Jesus arrived. But the apostles and teachers of the early church relied on the Old Testament to understand God and to understand Jesus as the Messiah. How does their teaching shape how we read the whole Bible today? If Jesus is the Messiah then what does that mean for my life today? When Jesus came he wasn’t…
Jesus: the Messiah we weren’t ready for
When Jesus came he wasn’t what most people were expecting. Even today Jesus isn’t the kind of Messiah that we might expect. He didn’t fight or win or become powerful, but instead died as a criminal. The apostles and teachers in the early church looked back at the Old Testament and were able to better understand Jesus as God’s promised Messiah. In this series we’ll explore Jesus through the lens of both the Old and New Testaments to understand how…
