Speaker: Dominic De Souza | Many Christians are surprised when they find themselves in dark places but valleys are actually a natural part of the landscape of life. This message, based on Psalm 23:4, unpacks 7 biblical truths to help us navigate the dark places well. Right there in your valley, God wants you to discover His presence, His power and His protection. He doesn't just want you to get through the valley; He wants you to get something out of the valley too.

Speaker: Catherine De Souza | In response to prayer most of have experienced an outcome we didn't expect or have felt the silence or frustration of what we perceive as unanswered prayer.

Lecturer: Gary Habermas | A chance to listen to the lecture presented at the One Church School of Apologetics by Professor Gary Habermas on the Minimal Facts Method and the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus.

Gary is Distinguished Professor and Chair of Philosophy at Liberty University, USA. He is widely considered the world expert on the historiographical evidence for Christ's resurrection.

Speaker: Dominic De Souza | As humans we are all vulnerable to experiencing frustration and anguish over unfulfilled hopes and dreams. Though we will never be able to completely avoid such disappointment in life, we can choose how we react to it. Disappointment is like the thin end of a wedge whose progression, if not broken, will lead us into discouragement, disillusionment, depression and ultimately defeat. This sermon uncovers principles from the life of Joseph to teach us how to harness and overcome the pain of disappointment and deal with it well.

Speaker: Dominic De Souza | With the exception of the thief on the cross, and that simply because he died moments after putting his trust in Christ, you won’t find an unbaptised believer in the New Testament. Yet many today have watered down water baptism and made it a whole lot less important than it was to Jesus and the early church. This sermon explains what baptism means by setting out some core reasons as to why it is important, addressing some of the common misunderstandings about baptism and also speaking into the issues which lead some Christians to unnecessarily delay their baptism or even choose not to be baptised altogether.

Speaker: Catherine De Souza | In the book of Romans, Paul urges us "in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice". Jesus is the inspiration, the source and the enabler of a life of sacrifice lived for Him. We can lay aside our position because He did, we can serve others because He did and we can give freely because He did. In this final sermon in our 'Rhythms' series, be encouraged to adopt disciplines of sacrifice that will help you deepen your relationship with God and lead you into a life of true freedom.
