The Ultimate Joy in 2024?

Philippians 1:12-20

For Paul, the gospel is more important than his:

 –      Freedom 

–      Reputation 

–      Life

 

In what ways can you find joy in the gospel in 2024?

(Preacher: Stephen Young)

Christmas Day 2023

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV)

(preacher: Steve Blencowe)

The Arrival of Christ

Galatians 3:23-4:7

 

The arrival of Christ shows us…

 

…how much we NEED him

…how far God goes to keep his PROMISES

 

…the extent of God’s MERCY and GRACE

 

 (Preacher: Steve Young)

Jesus: Is he Your King?

Zechariah 9:9 (reading ch 9)

“See, your king comes to you,

righteous and victorious,

lowly and riding on a donkey”

 

 What was Zechariah talking about?

 

 What did Jesus do?

 

 What’s this got to do with Christmas?

 

 Is Jesus your King?

 

THE CHRIST: TOKEN LEADER OR TRUE LORD?

Mark 8

Bible Reading (vv. 22-38)

Who do you say Jeaus is?

What kind of King do you want the Christ to be?

• A Token Leader who gives you what you want?

• The True Lord to whom you owe your whole life?

Does the way you live bear witness to who you say Jesus is?

(Preacher: Thomas Herbert)

Jesus: Knows Your Heart!

Mark 7

 

Jesus hates people being heartlessly religious (vv. 1-13)

 

Our real problem is our evil heart (vv. 14-23)

 

 

Jesus solves our heart problem, 

and his solution is for everyone (vv. 24-37)

 

(Preacher: Andreas Mayer)
