Because the Sunday Sermon is the culmination of our weekday readings and blogs, I thought it might be helpful if I also posted the manuscript of my Sunday Sermon for the duration of the “Encounters” Series.

Daily Reading: John 1:1-14 This beautiful passage from John’s Gospel proclaims that in Jesus the Word of God became flesh, and dwelt among humanity, shining the light of God into our darkness and making the invisible God known to us. John 1 leaves us in no doubt that the glory of God was seen in

Daily Reading: Matthew 28:16-20 The call to pour out the Living Water of the Spirit to make the world around us a more beautiful and fruitful place can never be fully obeyed without verbally bearing witness to the saving work of Jesus too. When Jesus was about to ascend to the Father, He gave His

We Christians are called to be a people who connect with God in passionate worship, connect to one another in love, and also connect to the world around us, pouring out the Living Water of the Spirit to make the world a more beautiful and fruitful place. Today we focus on this latter call to

Today we return to reflect on the call to connect to our fellow Christ-followers through deliberately cultivating genuine, sincere, loving relationships of mutual support, care and fellowship in a small group setting.
