"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."

Our guest speaker Pastor Ben Peacock from Rosalie Baptist Church takes us through 1 Peter 4:12-19. Peter teaches the church in sufferings to be: Not surprised, be calm, rejoice and not be ashamed. All for the glory of God.

Ps Matt continues on from last week’s message in John where Jesus describes himself as the bread that satisfies - food that endures.

Matt unpacks John 15 where it illustrates Jesus being the vine - Jesus is the bread of life that satisfies because he is the vine - life flows out of him!

The Christmas account in the gospels show us a different kind of birth because Jesus is a different kind of king.

Who is this coming Messiah and what will he be like?

Isaiah 42:1-4 tells us:

1 - He will not cry aloud.

2 - A bruised reed he will not break

3 - A smoldering wick he will not quench.
