Rebuild – Work
Nehemiah (Neh 2.1-8, 16-18) has a burden for Jerusalem. He seeks God faithfully and defines the vision clearly, and eventually does the rebuilding work and makes a difference. God is calling each of us to do the same.
View SermonRebuild – Hope
We kick off a brand new sermon series thinking about the return of the Jewish exiles to rebuild Jerusalem in Ezra & Nehemiah, reflecting on our own journey as we begin to return from our pandemic exile. Ezra 1.1-5 introduces the context and the incredible truth that we can always hope because God will come through on His promises.

Twisted: Plans to prosper
Jon explores the beloved verse in Jeremiah 29.11 and shows us that, given the original context, this promise to prosper us may not specifically be for us. In fact the good news isn’t that God saves us from our trials, it’s that He saves us from our sins. However reading on, the promises in verses 12-13 are echoed throughout Scripture and are for us – God will never leave you nor forsake you.

Finding Joy: Read
Jon continues our exploration of disciplines in the Bible to help us receive and experience more joy. Psalm 19.8 and Psalm 119.14 & 162 show that we can find joy in God’s Word – all we have to do is READ – with our hearts, not just our heads & with humility.

Jon introduces our motto verse for 2021 from 1 Peter 1.6-7, and we discover why seeking and growing in the ‘wonderful joy’ that is part of our inheritance in Christ is so important. It starts with wanting it, and as Jesus tells his disciples in John 16.24, all we need do is ask.
