Truth and Love: 2 and 3 John

16 and 23 November

Which one should we treasure more, truth or love? They seem in conflict with each other. In our 21st century world of “you do you”, should we stand up for the truth of the gospel even if it means being “unloving”? Or should we express Jesus’ love and go quiet on some truth? These 2 short letters contend for both. “Grace, mercy and peace… will be with us in truth and love” (2 John 3). We’ll find a noble woman whose children are “walking in the truth” (2 John 4). And we’ll meet Gaius, famous for his love (3 John 6). In this short 2-week series, we’ll encounter real people, real followers of Jesus, real issues of sticking to the truth and living out Jesus’ love.

    Remember the Poor

    Mission Month 2025 kicks off with a representative from Compassion coming to share the effect of their work and how the support of Ormond has helped enable it. In this context, Luke Prentice speaks to Mark 1:29-39 & Galatians 2:1-10, reminding us of what it means to remember the poor and the inherent partnership of Gospel hope and material needs being met on display in the bible and Jesus’ ministry.

    God the Father Almighty

    “We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.”

    These are the first lines of the Nicene Creed, and the focus of our first sermon in a new series that dives deep into this beautiful and thorough summary of Christian belief.

    Luke Prentice (preaching at our combined service) guides us through these opening lines and draws from scripture, in particular Mark 12:28-34 and Acts 17:22-28, and helps his listeners to consider what it means to believe in one God, the maker of everything, and how it might shape our lives.
