Hope Church Cornwall

In this message Pastor Dom Bird (Sunnyhill Church) explains how the church is God's only plan for the renewal of creation, and therefore challneges us to be people who are devoted to the church of Christ. 

In this message, Tony guides us through Mark 14 and shows us how Jesus was the true Passover Lamb who died to save us from our sins.

In Mark 14 we read about a woman who anointed Jesus with very expensive ointment. It is a stunning picture of extravagant worship and whole-hearted devotion that should inspire and challenge us to think about how much we really treasure and value Christ for ourselves. 

In this sermon, we continue to explore Jesus' teaching in Mark 13. We are reminded of the fact of Jesus' imminent return and as his disciples we must pay careful attention to the warning to 'stay awake.'

In Mark chapter 13 Jesus begins to forewarn his disciples about some of the events that will take place in the coming years. He explains that life will become quite uncomfortable and challenging for them. In the midst of these warnings, Jesus provides some words of encouragement and instruction for them in order to prepare them and ensure that they will be able to endure to the end. Jesus' words are powerful and just as relevant to today as we try to make sense of the world around us which seems to be spinning more out of control daily. 

In Mark 12 Jesus uses a parable about a Vineyard to retell the story of God and Israel. It is a fascinating story that reveals some profound truths about the human condition, the mercy of God, and the centrality of Christ.

In Mark 11 Jesus gets angry. Really angry. In this sermon we explore this side to Jesus character and reflect on what it reveal to us about the heart of God.

Jesus' favourite title for himself was 'The Son of Man'. In this sermon we explore the rich Old Testament background to this concept and reflect on the surprising way it finds fulfilment in the person of Jesus.
