COME, LET US ADORE HIM

Jesus did not have his start in Bethlehem. In fact, he stepped out of glory for you and me. This series for Advent will centre on four different reasons why we should adore him at the crib this Christmas season.

• His Unequalled Birth (Luke, 1:26-38)  Sunday Morning 03/12/2006

• His Unblemished Life (Luke, 2:21-35)  Sunday Morning 10/12/2006

• His Undiminshed Deity (Matthew, 1:18-24)  Sunday Morning 17/12/2006

• His Unquestioned Lordship (Luke, 2:8-20)  Sunday Morning 24/12/2006

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

Three years after visiting Bethlehem, Phillips Brooks wrote this well-known Christmas Carol for his Sunday School at Holy Trinity Church in Philadelphia in 1868. In each sermon, we use one verse to launch us into the Christmas Story in the hope that the Holy Child of Bethlehem will descend to us today.

• O Little Town of Bethlehem (Micah, 5:2-5)  Sunday Evening 03/12/2006

• For Christ is Born of Mary (Luke, 2:8-20)  Sunday Evening 10/12/2006

• The Wondrous Gift is Given (Matthew, 2:1-11)  Sunday Evening 17/12/2006

• O Holy Child of Bethlehem (John, 1:11-13)  Sunday Evening 24/12/2006

THE BODY OF CHRIST

The Bible gives us a number of pictures that emphasise the idea that a church is an active worshipping community. This series is based on Paul's picture of the church as a body, with Christ as the head and each of us is a valuable part of the body.

• Go and Do Likewise (I Thessalonians, 5:14)  Sunday Evening 08/10/2006

• Everybody is Somebody in His Body (I Corinthians, 12:12-27)  Sunday Morning 15/10/2006

THE CHURCH ON PURPOSE

This series is based on Luke's summary of life in the Early Christian Church found in Acts, 2:42-47. If we actively engage in following their example, can not our Lord today add to our number those who are being saved?

• On Purpose in Evangelism (Acts, 2:40-41)  Sunday Evening 15/10/2006

• On Purpose in Discipleship (Acts, 2:42-47)  Sunday Morning 22/10/2006

• On Purpose in Fellowship (Acts, 2:42, 44, 46)  Sunday Evening 22/10/2006

• On Purpose in Prayer (Acts, 2:42-43)  Sunday Morning 12/11/2006

• On Purpose in Ministry (Acts, 2:44-45)  Sunday Evening 12/11/2006

• On Purpose in Worship (Acts, 2:46-47)  Sunday Morning 19/11/2006

Luke again takes us behind the scenes of life in the Early Christian Church and this snapshot may prove to be more stunning than the public displays of the Holy Spirit's power.

• One in Heart and Mind (Acts, 4:32-33)  Sunday Evening 19/11/2006

THE GIFT OF GIVING

It is never easy to approach the subject of giving because it is often seen as an attack upon our personal finances. However, tithing may be the real key for spiritual fulfilment in your own spiritual life. Whilst this teaching may be difficult for some to hear, when we obey God's own word on this subject, we find a promise that every Christian ought to claim.

• Releasing God's Blessings (Malachi, 3:6-12)  Sunday Morning 26/11/2006

• Restoring the Relationship (Luke, 15:11-24)  Sunday Evening 26/11/2006
