     | 13,046 views

    This is about authentic worship.

    As I mentioned last week, worship is a broad term. It is often misunderstood. I want to come back to Rick Warren’s definition given in his book, The Purpose Driven Life, “Anything you do that brings pleasure to God is an act of worship.” That’s a boiled down definition of worship. What happens ...read more

    We are called to pass on the baton of our faith as we received it. This sermon reminds us that salvation is by faith in Jesus and nothing else.

    Sports days are upon us once again at our local schools and I had a sense of “been here before” when I was watching my son Matthew practising his sprinting and his baton changing in the relay races at the Junior School this week. Some of the baton changes were smooth and effective, others were slow ...read more

    James exposes the difference between religion that comforts us and religion that reveals the power of Christ among us.
