Why should our Christianity begin with the person of Christ?
Christianity is Christ.

October 04, 2021 When Belonging and Hope aren’t Met, Suicide Thrives
Suicide feels awkward to talk about. How do you bring it up? What do you say? The myth that if you talk about suicide, it will give people the idea and open the door for them to self-harm. In Kenya (April, May, June) over 480 persons died of suicide. Church is/should be leading in meeting our core needs to belong, find purpose and have hope. Mary brings a very timely message that helps bring awareness of suicide and how the church can help both individually and corporately.

September 27, 2021 Joy In The Journey Part 8 // Nearness of God - Philippians 4:2-9
This teaching concludes the sermon series that we have been on recently - Joy in the Lord is the theme in the book of Philippians and we have been discovering what rejoicing in the Lord means. In Philippians chapter four we discover more on what joy is and also draw a step closer to having this joy. The Lord is near is a vital part of the verses in this chapter. Knowing that God's presence is always with us, do we then live lives that reflect the nearness of God?

Murrell Francis shares some things that will help challenge us consider the nearness of God. The nearness of God demands Christian community vs 2. The nearness of God demands joy vs 4. The nearness of God demands the pureness of our thoughts vs 8&9

September 20, 2021 Joy In The Journey Part 7 // Call to Maturity - Philippians 3:12-4:1
Philippians chapter 3 verse 15 instructs, “All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.”
This passage calls Christians to maturity in the Lord. Maturity begins with a humble awareness that you haven’t arrived. Philippians 3:12
The last few verses in Philippians chapter 3 considers some imperatives on how to grow in that maturity - A way of thinking, living and the posture of our hearts.
1. Passionate pursuit of a Greater knowledge of Jesus
2. Cultivate a wonder of the Gospel
3. Know what you have in Christ

September 13, 2021 Joy in The Journey Part 6 - Moving Forward// Philippians 3: 10-16
Many of us at some point have got stuck in life, and been paralysed with “the what ifs”, fears and lies which have kept us from moving forward. Philippians chapter 3 verses 10 to 16 gives us practical tools that help us move forward in our journeys.
In these verses we learn to pursue, press on, forget what is behind, look at the goal, make progress, learn to speak the truth and walk in God’s grace and mercy.
Verse 10 and 11:
“To know Christ” - The knowing of Christ is through experiencing Him.
“The power of his resurrection” - The power of God is to help to us overcome any resistance, and it works in conjunction with fellowship with Him.
“Fellowship of sharing in his sufferings” - The suffering is a joint participation where we become more like Jesus.
Verse 12:
“Pressing on to take hold” - The pressing on is to pursue Christ-likeness.
Verse 13:
“But one thing I do” - forgetting what is behind (cutting the cords of the sins of the past)
“Straining toward what is ahead” - Stretch forth for intimacy with Jesus
Verse 14:
“I press on toward the goal” - Keeping our eyes on the goal which is to become more Christ-like
Verse 15:
“All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things”.
Verse 16:
“Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” - Attained – to arrive at, to reach – making progress / Live up to – let us continue on the path

September 06, 2021 Joy in The Journey Part 5 - All For Christ // Philippians 3: 1-13
In the recent Tokyo Olympics, a Kenyan runner, Ferguson Rotich finished the race and won a silver medal. When asked by a journalist how he managed to finish despite being far behind in the race, Furgoson said that towards the end he remembered that he was meant to be on the podium receiving his medal so he sped up to finish.
All believers in Christ have a race to finish and we do that through the power of the Holy Spirit and not in our own strength. In Philippians chapter 3, Paul speaks of a heavenly “podium” and the journey to that podium requires the joy of the Lord and working out of our salvation. Paul’s explains that human achievements or credentials, no matter how impressive cannot earn a person salvation or eternal life, but through faith in Christ and God’s grace.
