The encounter that Zacchaeus had with Jesus teaches us that despite what other people think of us, Jesus accepts us as we are and will meet us if we seek Him out. (Apologies but the microphone cuts out momentarily in a few places)
Concluding the series, Damian preaches from 1 Timothy 6: 6-11 & 17-19 and 2 Corinthians 9: 10-11 to illustrate that generosity should be a fundamental part of the Christian life.
Damian continues to challenge the church to live ‘all in’ as we serve God by serving one-another. This message was followed by a Ministry Fayre. Below is a link to the booklet:
In the first of a new series, Damian speaks about the importance of serving others. Jesus came to serve and gave us an example to follow. Service is the outworking of our freedom in Christ and should be the instinct of every believer.
The story of Joseph reveals to us that nothing is random or unplanned. We can use this knowledge to fully realise that God has a plan for our lives even if at times we do not understand why. Damian speaks about how God redeems our suffering and what it looks like to live with God’s favour.
Using Acts 2: 42-47 as his key text, Damian explains what life looked like for the early church and how we can be family together today.
Damian encourages the church to take seriously the call to be fully-devoted followers of Jesus.
The Hope Church Christmas Eve service is a real cracker. Starting with a festive themed gameshow and busting a few myths on the nativity story, Damian also gives a thought provoking seasonal message.
At the Hope Church Christmas Family service Damian shares why the birth of Jesus is such good news to all mankind.
As we enter Advent, Damian starts a short series entitled God With Us. This first sermon focusses on John 1:14 and he unpacks what scripture means when it tells us “the Word became flesh.”
