Sermon # 4 - In God's True Image Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 12, 2025

God’s image in us as human beings is what makes us special. But, we should also bear in mind that we are the temple of the living God and He dwells within us. Only when we live in total obedience to His word will all of our confusions be turned to peace and rest.

Before using filters in life; take a moment and think that the world may turn out ugly at times, but there’s one beauty that is absolute. And that is ...read more

Privilege And Responsibility For The Hopeful.

PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOPEFUL. 1 John 3:1-3. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other ...read more
