Jesus is presented in the Temple - Lessons of trust, hearing God and faith

2/2/2020

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: Luke 2:22-40; Malachi 3:1-4; Hebrews 2:14-18]

When the six week old baby Jesus was first taken to the temple, there were two people who had been waiting, waiting, waiting for him.  They heard God, they believed, they were patience.  Their faith was rewarded - they saw and held the Messiah; they told people.  Let's learn from their good examples.

Is your King big enough?

29/11/2019

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Jeremiah 23:1-6; Colossians 1:11-20 ; Luke 23:33-43]
Christ the King Sunday - the end of the Church year.  Jesus is King.  Jeremiah looked forward to him; at the Cross it is proclaimed as Jesus triumphed over evil; Paul looks behind the scenes to tell us the wonder of who he is.

Live in Him

18/8/2019

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Text: Colossians 2:6-23]
Having established his credentials with them, Paul challenges the false teachings which threaten the faith of the Christians at Colossae.  While we may not be subject to exactly the same errors, there are common principles which are valuable for us as we face the challenges of today's world and its thinking.

The Trustworthiness of Paul: Presenting the Gentile Christ

11/8/2019

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Text: Colossians 1:24 - 2:5]
Paul here argues for his trustworthiness - that the Colossian Church should listen to him.  Will we too give Paul credence?  Much hangs on believing his words - this is the man who made the Jewish Messiah available to the Gentiles as the Christ.
