Showing forth Christ

3/1/2021

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: Ephesians 3:1-12; Matthew 2:1-12]
Epiphany - the Manifestation or showing of Christ.  The Wise men were the first gentiles to come to see him.  They received some revelation and followed the light they had to find Christ and give him their best.  Should we do less?  Paul says the Church is to show the wisdom of God to the heavenly powers.  How might we do that?

Gospel Proclamation - 1st Century/21st Century

8/2/2015

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Text: 1 Cor 9:16-23 ; Mark 1:29-39]
Mark chapter one gives us a snapshot into Jesus' Galilean village ministry.  Just as Jesus preached and moved on, so did St Paul.  There are similarities to our mission field as well....
