    In the chaos of life, Jesus doesn’t shout, He simply shows up. Allow Me To Meet You is a call to pause, refocus, and choose what matters most: sitting at His feet. When Jesus enters our busy lives, He’s not asking for more effort, He’s asking for our heart.

    (38) Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. (39) And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. (40) But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ...read more

    We have ’Free Church Homecoming’ - an ecumenical service once a year. This sermon is an encouragement to go and to be the church universal, not just a congregation.
