This week we look at Luke chapter 10; The sending of the seventy-two.

2024-09-01 Sermon – The Prodigal Father
In Luke 15 we encounter the Parable of the Prodigal Son. But the word “prodigal”, while it means “wasteful” and “improvident”, can also mean “generous” and “lavish”. This Parable also teaches us about the generous and lavish love our Heavenly Father bestows on us when we come home to Him.

2024-07-28 Sermon – Great Expectations
We all have expectations of God, whether our hearts are in the rocky, weedy or good soil stages. Sometimes our expectations of God are not in accord with His expectations for us.

2024-07-21 Legion and the Lake
To paraphrase the words of the great church father John Chrysostom, who lived in the fourth century: We are also on a voyage, not crossing the sea of Galilee, but crossing the lake of life from earth to heaven. Let us prepare a strong ship, the kind that the buffeting and discouragements of this lifeContinue reading “2024-07-21 Legion and the Lake”
