As we head into the Christmas season, we’re kicking off a brand-new series called “the gift.” We unpack one of the most incredible gifts we could ever receive — the gift of being adopted into God’s family. It’s a place where we discover real love, deep security, true belonging, and a grounded sense of identity.
Today, Annaliese Phipps concludes our series on Exodus by looking at the gift of God's presence that the Israelites were given. We are reminded of God's merciful and gracious heart, and given an invitation to pursue that presence for ourselves.
Simeon Hawkins dives into Exodus 3 and unpacks the significance and meaning of Moses asking Gods name, and the relationship this has with the various names he his called before and during Moses time. He gives us 4 formational reflections from this chapter that invites us to open ourselves up to Gods grace, mercy, strength, and love.
Stanley continues our new exodus series, highlighting that we are in journey mode as a church family. Focusing on the freedom that God brought the Israelites, he parallels it with our journeys today. We are reminded that we don't have to stay in Egypt, because Jesus has made a way out into ultimate freedom.
Guest speaker Jacqui Lloyd starts our new series on Exodus. She explains the overall story of Exodus; freedom, formation, and presence, then focuses on chapters 1 & 2 and the 5 courageous women.
In the second of our Advent series, 'the gift', Stanley delves into the gift of forgiveness that we're offered through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Included in this message is an Ignatian contemplative prayer practice using John 21. Our hope is that it would help connect you to a first hand encounter with this precious gift.
