    Sometimes we treat God like a holiday ornament that we pull out on special occasions, but Jesus is not just a Christmas story, He is our life.

    God can restore anything back, according to His will. He is our divine co-partner in life, therefore we need to acknowledge Him and have faith in Him.

    Zech 4:6 “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,” says the LORD Almighty. The will of God will never lead to where the grace of God cannot keep you. • When He calls us to do a task, He will give us the resources to complete it. • It is unthinkable for God to want to do something, only to ...read more

    Conversion does not mean arrival. It signals the beginning of a journey of growth. We are to be like Christ, and this growth requires disciplines.

    [Most of the thoughts in this sermon come from Dallas Willard’s book The Spirit of the Disciplines.] Eph 4:12 “…to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” Matt 28:19-20 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name ...read more

    How big are we? This doesn’t mean how big are we in a physical way. How big are we spiritually? Are we big enough to be a person that God can use?

    A short sermon recognising the importance of being cleansed before God and living a a life of Holiness.

    Being Cleansed God wants us to be in constant communion with him. So often we can find it difficult to get in touch with God.
