What's gone wrong in the world?

Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:08:08 +0000

Genesis 3 explains why there is murder, hatred, lies, rape, disobedience, sickness, misery etc..

It shows the sad, tragic history of the fall of man. We read of the very first sin which affected the whole human race. All that devastates the world can be traced back to this sin. The great prototype for every sin :-
1. God's authority is questioned
2. God's word is distorted
3. God's judgement is denied
4. God's character is slandered

The First Sabbath

Wed, 2 Nov 2011 17:57:25 +0000

Sabbath observance for many conjures up images of a dreary day. Negative legalism gets in the way of our understanding of what the sabbath is really about. Sabbath observance has declined over the last number of years bringing the Lord's day into line with any other day. Sadly this confusion also exists in the church.

But as we shall see the Sabbath has an extremely important place in the life and witness of the Church.

Sermon outline -
1. The Lord's day is a rest day
2. It is a blessed day
