Jesus calls Matthew the tax collector and has a meal at his house.  During this night He tells them two great truths:

1 The Sick need a doctor

2 I desire mercy not sacrifice.

In this message Derek talks about the incredibly destructive power of guilt and the more incredibly freeing power of forgiveness.

This week we continue our series in Matthew. Through this passage we explore 2 major points, Healing and sickness and, a place to call home.

This week Ned discusses Matthew 8:5-13. In this we explore the centurion’s Faith through the power of the Spirit, Jesus Christ as LORD over creation and our hope and assurance in Christ. 

This week we go through Ephesians 1:1-11, Exodus 33 and 34 and talk about God as our Glorious Father.

This week in our ‘I love the Father’ series we will be exploring the relationship between the Father and the Spirit. We will be discussing our adoption as sons and daughters and how through the Holy Spirit our hearts cry out Abba, Father. We will also be discussing the intimate relationship that we now have with the Father through the Holy Spirit and how our hearts are sealed by Him for eternity. 

Mark brings out incredible meaning as to why Jesus had to die on the cross.

Mark 8 is a great turning point in this Gospel.  Jesus begins to tell his disciples that He must ide and three days later be raised. Jesus is now revealed as God's servant who would save the people by serving them on the cross.

The first chapters of Mark's Gospel present us with the arrival of the Kingdom of God and more importantly Jesus the King.  What does this kingdom look like, and what is its reign over?

God the Father has lovingly and purposefully created all things.  To know Him is to know who we really are and our purpose meaning and value.  Therefore, to live apart from Him is to live in a dysfunctional state, and to live with Him is to live a normal functional and beautiful life.
