Preacher: Nathan Nettleton

Those who trust God and remain flexible enough to change and grow will have nothing to fear from God’s strong hands.

True worship, which honours and pleases God, is a seamless combination of ritual praise and a life lived in doing good for others.

A sense of shame can be God’s invitation to accept healing and new life.

Faith is not the absence of doubt, but the courage and trust to be faithful to God in your your actions and life, despite doubts and disappointments.

The Lord’s Prayer is given to us, the Church, as a model to shape all our praying.

God’s anger over injustice and hypocrisy is the hot passionate anger of a lover betrayed and aggrieved, an anger which craves reconciliation and rekindled love, not punishment.

Christ calls us together into a spirit-filled body in the face of demonic forces that would seek to drive us apart and trick us into the fatal error of going it alone.

We are called to confront and oppose the abuse of power, but also to continue to love and offer forgiveness to those whose actions we are opposing.

When drought and death threaten to destroy us, God will bring us through the barren times and raise us back to life, for doing so is the defining sign of God’s presence.

Jesus sends the Holy Spirit as a Defence Counsel to defend us against the demonic accusations that trouble and disempower us.

The glory of Christ’s love is seen when it perseveres with those who shun it, betray it, or abuse it.

Salvation belongs to Christ alone, but those who have fought and died for other forms of salvation are among those with whom Christ identifies himself; fellow victims of the atrocity from which Christ is saving us.
