The Jesus Gathering

Contributed by Mark Engler on May 19, 2015

When Jesus said He would build His church did He have in mind putting on a Sunday service or did He have in mind His people coming together in authentic relationship with each other? Is the church today doing what He intended. Not so sure we are.

The Jesus Gathering Matthew 16:13-20 INTRO: The church. That can mean a lot of different things today. It can mean the building in which we come to on Sunday mornings. It can mean the institution of the church. It can speak of a denomination. The Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the ...read more

Gathering For Encouragement Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 2, 2021

Hebrews 12:1 tells us to 'run with endurance'. Only long races need endurance - marathons, for example. In a marathon, encouragement makes all the difference. The Christian life can be tough. We need encouragement and we need to encourage others.

Today we’re starting a new series. We will have four talks on the theme of ‘Why we gather’. Last Sunday we met back at church after sixteen months of having our morning services online. That’s a significant moment. But something else has been happening. About four months ago we started a new ...read more

[INTRODUCTION AND RECAP] We’re doing a series on ‘why Christians gather together.’ We’re emerging from the Covid pandemic and the various lockdowns and we’ve started to meet together in person so it seems a good time to ask why we gather together.

Gather For Rhythm Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

The early church was devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. They gathered regularly, which had a profound impact on their lives. We too can experience this impact by developing the habit of gathering with other believers.

Let's talk about habits - the good, the bad, and the weird. Habits are like the auto-pilot of our lives. Did you know it takes about 66 days to form a new habit? Habits are all about cravings and rewards. What if we craved hanging out with our friends, praying more, and really getting the Bible? ...read more
