For the Common Good

8th June 2025

The Bible teaches that the variety of gifts God gives to His church are each for "the common good". This means our abilities are not for our own glory, but to produce something in which we all share. When we focus on this shared purpose, we can rejoice together in what the Spirit of God is doing in our midst, creating a blessing for the whole community.

The Heart of Jesus for the Lost

22nd September 2024

Jesus' parable of the lost sheep reveals His unwavering commitment to seeking the lost, even at the expense of leaving the ninety-nine. This priority should shape the Church's mission, with every believer participating through their unique spiritual gifts. Whether through direct evangelism or supporting roles within the Church, all are called to be part of Christ's mission. A thriving church is marked by rich fellowship, expository preaching, and a unified focus on reaching the lost, reflecting Jesus' own heart and mission.
