The Impossible Dream?

30/1/2022

Liturgy led by Lorraine and Peter Lloyd. [Gospel: Luke 4:21-30]

Join us as we continue on the Gospel of Luke 4. Why did the people of Nazareth went from being impressed to wanting to throw Jesus off the cliff? What did he say that invoked such a contrast of emotions? Will we reject Jesus because of his impossible dream too? What does it mean for us to follow Christ?

Preacher: Anne Aspden (Gospel: Luke 4:14-21)
Third Sunday of Epiphany we hear from Luke how Jesus returns to Galilee in the power of the spirit and how the news about his spread throughout the countryside.

Jesus showed kindness and generosity, so should we, to our neighbours.

Epiphany 2022 Turning Water Into Wine

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: John 2:1-11; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11]
Jesus' first sign displayed his glory. The use of the spiritual gifts is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit. When we use them are we like pots of water now holding the wine - transformed and showing God's presence?

2022 Epiphany - The Baptism of Christ

9/1/2022

0 Comments

As we continue through Epiphany celebrating the revelation of God in Christ, we focus today on the Baptism of Jesus. John the Baptist said the purpose of his ministry was to reveal him to Israel. Have we received that revelation ourselves?

The sermon starts at 15:59.

We were blessed with a prophecy after communion - it can be heard at 56:22. It reads:
Fear not, I am God. I hold all things in my hand. It is mine; it is my creation that you see about you. Fear not, I have called you by name. You are mine. I will rescue you and redeem you. I have lifted you on high. You are mine – fear not. Fear not for what others fear. Follow me that you may know me, that you may know my love; that you may know my salvation – for I have called you.

This Sunday we observe Epiphany - the celebration of God incarnate in Christ being revealed to the nations.
This is a progressive revelation which still continues. It started with the visit of the Magi. They travelled from afar to find him - what can we learn in our seeking Christ from them?
