In this sermon, our pastor, Ian Forest-Jones, reminds us peace may be destroyed by the cares of this world, joy may be lost because of sin, love may grow cold, but salvation does not depend upon feeling but on our faith, even though faith is bolstered by the real ‘feeling’ of the presence of God.
In this sermon, our pastor, Ian Forest-Jones, reminded us that mercy is often in short supply in our fallen and sinful world, which is why the merciful stand out, shining like stars in the world. The friends of Jesus have received mercy from the Lord, so now exercise mercy toward our brothers and sisters-by-faith and to our neighbours.
In this sermon, our pastor, Ian Forest-Jones, reminded us Jesus declared those to be commended are poor in spirit and those who mourn. On the face of it, this seems quite at odds with the values of the world, which regards the joyful and prosperous as blessed. Let us be certain what mourning he is referring to specifically, so that we may understand how a sad face is good for the heart.
The Bible was read by Ian Hudson.
The sermon concluded with the singing of "Be Still My Soul" and a prayer. These have been included in this recording because they are especially relevant to these reflections on the Word of God.
When the weight of the world is on your shoulders, it can feel like you’re going nowhere in a hurry. Shake off the burdens of stress, worry, and regret and find the freedom that comes when you Travel Light. You don’t always have the power to control, but you always have the power to surrender.
Part three of our "Travel Light" series was delivered by Franz Brosch. When the weight of the world is on your shoulders, it can feel like you’re going nowhere in a hurry. Shake off the burdens of stress, worry, and regret and find the freedom that comes when you Travel Light. The devil doesn’t need to destroy you if he can distract you.
