Jesus Shows Us God

(Bible Reading: John 1:1-18)

  

1.          How to put into words the miracle of the incarnation!

 

2.          Jesus shows us God 

 

3.          Many do not recognise him

  

4.          Those who do, can become children of God

Do you believe? (Intro to John)

Do you Believe?

(Bible Reading: John 20:24-31)

 

An introduction to John’s Gospel:

“..that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,  and that by believing you may have life in his name.”                                                     

 

Thomas’ story: he needed to see, to believe…

 

 

But Jesus says you don’t have to see to believe…   (v29)

 

and John has given us evidence so we may believe   (v30-31)

 

 

Do you believe?

Church: What are we doing?

Church: What are we doing?

A topical sermon 

(Bible Reading: Ephesians 4:1-16)

 

A Bible Teaching Church that seeks to grow followers of Jesus…

      

as we each grow in knowing Jesus

                                    in living for Jesus 

                                    and in making Jesus known

 

What we do when we meet…

What we do when we scatter…

“So long as you’re happy.. that’s the main thing”

SAYINGS PEOPLE LIVE BY: “SO LONG AS YOU’RE HAPPY”

Bible Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

What do people mean?

“So long as you’re happy, that’s the main thing?”

What does the Bible say?

What does Jesus say about being happy?

Where does that leave us?

Don’t live for short-term happiness!

Temporary Venue Change – Morning Church

Due to construction works at Kenmore South State School we’ve had to re-locate our 9:30am Sunday Morning Church service to our Church property at 1 Pullenvale Road for two Sundays: 12th January and 19th January.

We’ll return to the Kenmore South State School Hall on Sunday 26th January.

It’s a little cosy at 1 Pullenvale Road, so you might consider coming to NightChurch instead on the 12th and the 19th. NightChurch is at 5:30pm in the Kenmore Uniting Church building 982 Moggill Road, Kenmore.

1 Pullenvale Road. Opposite the Fire Station and across the road from Rafting Ground Reserve.

It’s a bit cosy!

Considering Christ at Christmas

Considering CHRIST at Christmas

Matthew 1:18-25

 

The birth of Jesus appeared to be somewhat of a crisis … which could have ended … badly

 

But God was working to a bigger plan…

 

A plan which had been unfolding since… a long time ago

  

A plan for God to be with us (Immanuel)

 

A plan to save people from sin (Joshua)

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Considering CHRIST at Christmas (Matthew 1:1-17)

Considering CHRIST at Christmas

Matthew 1:1-17

  

purposeful genealogy of Jesus the CHRIST (1&17)  

–      Shaped by 2 covenants (displaying God’s kindness)

–      covering 3 epochs (showing God’s faithfulness)

–      including 5 names which highlight God’  merciful sovereignty (over lives impacted by human sinfulness)

 

A genealogy which shows the CHRIST of Christmas as the climax of God’s plans for everything!! 

 

And gives HOPE for sinners like you and I
