Liberti Sermons

When we come to Christ in our sin the banner he raises over us says "you are mine”. He conquered us when belonged to the Kingdom of Darkness, he disarmed us, subdued us and won us to himself - and the power that turned us to him was his love.

Our sin creates a moral ugliness in us but the Song leads us to see something astonishing. When Christ looks at us, he doesn't scowl or look away, he doesn’t turn away his face, he walks towards us. He delights in us, adores us and he says, "I’ve come to make you beautiful".

This Song is ultimately about our relationship with Jesus. That sense of longing and the unfulfilment we constantly feel, every human feels - it is there to draw us to Him

When we look at the scale of the mission in front us, we need to fight to be united in prayer, urgent and unceasing and looking at what God has already done, in your own story, praying with expectation that God would do it again.

It often feel like we're on the back foot with mission in our context as christians - however as we look at Acts 8, we can be encouraged, motivated and empowered that the Gospel is stronger than any opposition. Jesus will make his appeal through us his church and he can and will do amazing things when we're present in Word and Deed

Our desire is to pursue transformation in our lives and others through the formation and multiplication of discipling communities.

We desire to be a church who hold onto and hold out truth.

He is our King. He is our Great High Priest. And he calls us to follow him and share about him.

God the Father has bestowed upon God the Son the Name that above every name.

"Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever. The sceptre of your kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness; you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions" ~ Psalm 45:6-7.

The most terrifying thought is being separated from one who loves us and cares for us - Jesus saves us from that eternal reality through taking it for us on the cross.
