3/7/2022

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Texts: Galatians 6:1-10; Luke 10:1-20]
Today Ian preaches on Galatians 6  and the principle of Sowing and Reaping. What choices do we make and what are their consequences?  We need to choose to sow to the Spirit and not to the flesh.

WItnesses of the Resurrected Jesus - Healing the Lie-Bound Soul

1/5/2022

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: John 21:1-19; Acts 9:1-20; Revelation 5:11-14]
Today's readings present three encounters with the risen Christ told by eye-witnesses.  When the disciples met Jesus by the lake, he restored Peter from shame into acceptance and responsibility.  Here we find lessons for us as we find our way in greater wholeness or help others on that journey.

Forgiven and Forgiving

13/9/2020

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle   [Texts: Matthew 18:21-25; Romans 1-21; Genesis 50:15-21]

Love and Reconciliation

6/9/2020

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: Romans 13:8-14; Matthew 18:15-20; Ezekiel 33:7-11]
Ian found a mystery fourth text which links all three of these readings together.  See how love undergirds the process Jesus lays before us for making peace with a fellow Christian.

You can see a video of the sermon here.
