In hermeneutics (the study of Scripture), it is always good to ask these 5 question of the text

you are reading in order to properly understand what is being read. The main advantages of

this are that less passages are taken out of context, and more is gained from the writings than

would be grasped without it. The 5 questions are who, what, where, why, to whom?

Over the last few weeks we have been looking at the prevailing Church, built upon Jesus, and

Peter’s confession that ‘He is the Messiah, the Son of the Living God’. Over the ages God has

been looking for and partnering with people who are willing to speak out and live for this

heavenly truth. Speaking out words based on the Word of God brings power and authority

as we align our thoughts words and actions with those of Heaven. Against this the gates of

hell themselves will not stop us!

Stan starts 2018 sharing about the Church and it's importance.

Do you really know God or do you know of God? Carys continues from Sams sermon, sharing about making God famous. Our Knowledge of God effects our response to him. When we respond well to him,

we allow his glory to come upon us, then we can reflect his Glory and that is how we make him well known.

Sam shares about how we should be reflecting the glory of God in our day to day lives.
