    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 7, 2024
     | 816 views

    In this talk we look at why music and song are so important for Christians.

    Note: this was a family service in which children stay in the service. We have a ‘main’ children’s item earlier in the service but also a short talk later in the service.

    "Jesus presents a clear description of what it is followers are to be like internally and how they are to live outwardly in the Sermon on the Mount."

    Sermon on the Mount- Pt 6 Tear It Out! In the SOTM it seems that Jesus has boiled down His teachings to that which is of prime importance. The SOTM makes GOOD seem really GOOD. It inspires to believe in- possibility of a better world. It also reminds us of our lack of commitment to the principles ...read more
