As Living Word Community Church faces the new year, and indeed a new decade, Rick takes a few minutes to state our intent and purpose in the coming period as a community of God's people, immediately followed by Tim outlining the means by which we can all better focus on pursuing God's purposes through effective prayer whilst fasting.

In the build up to Christmas celebrations, Rick reminds each of us of the fact that we have all been saved from an eternal future without God, but by His grace He has restored us into relationship with Him. As such we are not superior in any way to those who don't yet know Him, and should therefore retain an 'attitude of gratitude' whilst wholeheartedly endeavouring to share the good news that they too can experience.

Rick looks beyond the wonder of the nativity scene towards the challenge for every Christian to boldly share the good news that Jesus, our super-hero, brings.

Tim takes us through a prophecy made in Isaiah 9:6-7 some seven hundred years ahead of Jesus' birth that fully describes His incarnation and majesty.

Continuing the thoughts of last week, and considering the beautiful manner a woman served Jesus by anointing His feet with expensive perfume, Rick challenges us all to work alongside God using our various gifts to similarly honour Him and fulfil His purposes for our lives.

Ricky delves into the narrative of Moses frustration in hitting the rock in the wilderness and failing to give glory to God for the water that the disgruntled people were so desperate to receive. Ricky uses this illustration to remind the church to remain in the favour of God by closely following His instructions, so that the refreshing will come from rivers of living water and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jonathan continues in the series 'Principles of the Christian faith' revealing the importance of relationship in the multiple aspects of our endeavour to walk according to God's values.

Rick clearly and fervently expounds upon the importance of sharing the gospel within the process of 'making disciples'

In the context of Jesus' discussion with the rich young ruler, Rick convincingly likens this encounter to reveal the importance of discarding any personal idol that that stands in the way of Jesus' Lordship in our lives.

Bladimir shares the fulness of blessing that every believer in Jesus Christ can expect when we appropriate and align with God's vision for His people.
