Jesus - The Early Years

This January, we’re beginning the year by listening again to the opening movements of Jesus’ public ministry in Luke chapters 3 and 4. Across four weeks, we’ll watch as God prepares the way through John the Baptist, affirms Jesus as his Son, and sends him into the wilderness and into the world. These chapters introduce us to who Jesus is, what he has come to do, and what it means to follow him. From repentance and baptism, to testing and temptation, to the announcement of good news for the poor, Luke shows us a Messiah shaped by Scripture, led by the Spirit, and committed to God’s purposes. As a new year begins, we’re invited to reset our expectations, deepen our trust, and learn what it looks like to walk in step with Jesus.

    Josue, representing Local Leaders International, speaks on 1 Samuel 1:1-20, encouraging his listeners with related stories and the way in which God uses one woman to change Israel.

    The sermon passage is an authentic insight into the life of people, seeing how they act and how God responds is an encouragement for all people. God isn’t finished with us yet.

    Saul: Fear and Obedience

    The second part in our series on the pivotal points around the first three kings of Israel.
    Saul as king was called to rule in obedience to the Lord, but let his fear of his men result in disobedience. Luke unpacks this 1 Samuel 15:7-26, where Saul is rejected by God as king, to help us consider how we can best live in obedience and avoid the lies, blaming and self justification that can lead us astray.

    This sermon includes a short Q & A afterwards.

    God is in Control

    The first in our series looking at the first Kings of Israel. Luke points to the fact that God is capable of using our mistakes for his purposes as a reason to have hope.

    1 Samuel 8:1-22 is one such mistake, the people of Israel knowingly choose to reject their God and be like the other nations, despite this God will give them what they want, ultimately the world will receive its greatest king - Christ.
