     | 5,140 views

    As summer approaches, we get check-ups on our home and car air conditioning systems but perhaps we need a "faith" check up. The question in the sermon title is asked rhetorically and then we examine Peter's faith (along with ours) from Luke 22:31-34.

As school lets out and the temperatures push higher, there are certain things that might need some attention. I know I’ve already had my home A/C checked and, before taking a ...read more

     | 11,949 views

    Here we try to understand how David coped with the loss of his best friend Jonathan. Through David’s reactions we are challenged to embrace our seasons of grief in ways that would show that we are relying on God rather than relying on ourselves.

    Opener: This week we reflect on David’s real life struggle with grief. With last week’s teaching on fear, and this week’s text focussed on the theme of grief it seems like we’re wading through some heavy waters aren’t we? But this is good for us. Because I firmly believe that we (as followers ...read more
