Sermons

“… We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy universal and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins…”

In our fourth Sermon on the Nicene Creed, Luke Prentice explores what it means for the church to believe in the Holy Spirit.

Understanding who the Holy Spirit is, the Trinity, and the unified universal church is a series of complex elements of faith. Luke, guides us through each of these topics drawing from John 15:26-27 and Ephesians 4:1-6 to expand our awareness and knowledge in this area.

“…We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human…”

In the second sermon in our series on the Nicene Creed, Luke Prentice helps us come to a deeper understanding of the hypostatic union of Jesus the 100% divine and Jesus the 100% human. This concept is a common challenge for many people exploring Christianity, and yet it is a crucial duality that made Jesus life, death and resurection effective for us.

Luke gently helps his listeners to come to a deeper understanding of this part of Chirstian faith with the aid of John 1:1-14 and Hebrews 2:14-18

On the surface, Easter makes no sense; our own experience of life tells us that the dead do not come to life, and yet this is the claim of the Bible and the events in our passage, John 20:1-18.

Mike helps us to see the heart of this passage, the truth of Jesus’ resurrection and the real and honest emotional responses of Jesus’ friends and followers; Mary, Peter, and John. In this passage, we see how in Jesus we can make sense of the nonsensical.

This easter, you are invited to re-examine the empty tomb and encounter the risen Jesus. He is risen, he is risen indeed.

The crowds on the road to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival welcome Jesus as their king, but as we read John 12:12-19, it is revealed that Jesus is a different kind of King.

Mike unpacks this passage and helps us to consider what good leadership should look like and how we can exemplify it in our lives.
