In Genesis 28, we read the extraordinary account of Jacob’s encounter with God. Instead of sanctioning him, though, God blessed Jacob.

Why did God judge the world through the flood at the time of Noah? The answer can be found in Genesis chapter 6, in the account of the Nephilim. Join us today as we explore the different interpretive schemes in an effort to discover who the “sons of God” were and who the Nephilim were.
2023-05-21 Sermon – Birthright
This week we learn about Esau and Jacob, the twin boys born to Isaac and Rebekah. Such rivalry existed between the two that they jostled with each other even in their mother’s womb. What Kingdom lessons can we learn and how might we apply these lessons to the birthright that we share with Christ.

The day has arrived, the culmination of our Lenten Journey, He is Risen! This morning we journey back in time and ponder the reactions of the disciples to the death of Jesus. We examine the uncomfortableness before His rising and what His resurrection meant for them and what it means for us.

Today is Palm Sunday where Jesus was recognised and celebrated as He always should have been. We finish our series in 1 John by looking at chapter 5 by seeing how all we have learnt will lead us to having Christ enter our lives with triumph.
2023-03-26 Sermon – God is Love
In 1 John 4:16, John declares that “God is Love” . God has intentionally created each one of us with our own unique and God-given attributes; our gender, our race, our physical appearance. When God created mankind, he said that we were Very Good. In addition, God so loved us that He “sent his SonContinue reading “2023-03-26 Sermon – God is Love”
