Growing in Christ, when it’s messy!

2 Corinthians 1:1-11

“The Corinthian Diaries” – not particularly comfortable for anyone really!

But God is a God of comfort & deliverance

A very real example…

Growing together in Christ, through pain, opposition.. and mess!

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

God will set the record straight

Joel 3

 

 

God will vindicate His identity as the one true God

 

 

 

 

God will vindicate His people because they are His

 

 

 

 

The enemies of God’s people will face justice 

 

 

(Preacher: Thom Herbert)

God will restore His blessings to His people

Joel 2:18-32

 

1.  Restoration of blessings

 

2.  Restoration of relationship

 

3.  Relationship restored through pouring out of God’s Spirit

(Preacher: Thom Herbert)

The Problem of Injustice

Psalm 109

This Psalm as God’s Word…

… to Israel in the Psalter

… fulfilled in Christ

… to us today

This Psalm as our words to God

… our prayer

(preacher: Andreas Mayer)
