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.

    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

    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.
