The first sermon Pastor Damian preached to Hope Church was from Jeremiah 29: 4-7. Ten years on, he revisits this scripture to emphasise that as Christians our role in the world around us is as relevant now as it was in 2008; as it was back in the old testament and ever since.
At the Hope Church 10th Anniversary celebration, John Glass gives a timely message. Using God’s word to Abraham in Genesis 13: 14-17 John urges the church to forget the past, ignore the future and focus on what God wants us to do in this “Now Moment”!
It is not easy being a Christian in modern society where truth is distorted and speaking truth can be difficult. Damian uses a popular fable and John 18:37-38 to encourage the church to stand on God’s truth as our infallible plumb line.
Do you know what God’s purpose for your life is? Perhaps you do but are too afraid to step out. Or possibly you doubt whether you are up to the task and feel inadequate. Adam draws on the experience of Jeremiah and Moses as well as Jesus’ promise in His Great Commission to inspire the church to action.
Life can be tough and Christians are not exempt from the highs, lows and disappointments that come along. Damian mines scripture to illustrate how, sometimes we need to dig deep, persevere and just not give up.
