28/7/2024

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Text: 2 Samuel 11:1-15, 12:1-12; Psalm 51]

Who is He and Does He want to Heal?

21/7/2024

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Mark 6:30-34, 53-56; 2 Samuel 7:1-14a]
The underlying question in this section is: "Who is Jesus?" We look at the significance of his compassion for the people as a shepherd for the sheep and the Old Testament view of this. The text continues with his healing all who came to him. We don't have to ask if it is God's will to heal - Jesus shows us what is the default position.

Waiting for God's Time

7/7/2024

Preacher: Helen Hardcastle [Text: 2 Samuel 5:1-10]
At last David became king about 15 years after Samuel had anointed him as king, and still there were more years before all the tribes accepted him. What do we see in his waiting, in his character, of God's purpose in his timing?

Giving from the Heart

30/6/2024

Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Text: 2 Corinthians 8:7-15, 20; 9:5-11]
In Chapters 8 and 9 of his second letter to the Corinthian church, Paul gives us some principles for giving: give according to your means; no compulsion; the cross is our motivation; give generously supported by God’s generous provision.
Can we be confident in that generous provision of the Lord? Ian unpacks 2 Cor 9:8 to see how abundant and all-encompassing that provision is.
This challenges us to review our own giving - does it need to be adjusted? Do I need to formalise my giving by setting up an Automatic Payment or requesting envelopes for cash giving?
Is it time to volunteer for one of the roles at church?

Look at the form below the video and answer those questions. Your response can be placed in the offertory, dropped off to the office or emailed in to the office.
