Drawing from 1 Peter 1:13-2:3, Christianity isn't about rule-keeping to earn God's favour, but responding to his grace with changed lives. A key biblical principle emerges: indicatives (what God has done) always precede imperatives (what we should do). Christians are called to embrace being "weird"—different from the world—not as a problem but as their grea...

This message reminds us of the importance of keeping the Gospel at the centre of our lives and church. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul outlines the core elements of the Gospel: Christ's death for our sins, His burial, His resurrection, and His appearances to many witnesses. We're challenged to consider how easily we can drift from preaching the Gospel to merely assuming it and eventually neglecting or denying it. The key to avoiding this drift is to keep the Gospel 'on repeat...

Date: 29 September 2024
Preacher: Rev Dave Miers
--
In our exploration of Ecclesiastes, we've uncovered profound truths about life's seeming futility and the path to finding meaning. The book's repeated refrain of 'vanity' or 'meaningless' isn't the final word. Instead, we're called to rejoice in life, remember our Creator, and revere the Judge. These three 'R's' remind us that while life under the sun may feel transient, our actions echo in eternity. The vivid imagery of aging in Ecclesiastes 12 is a poignant reminder to seek God early...

It emphasises that even in times of futility, believers can find joy in...

Our culture's focus on wellness highlights the pursuit of physical, mental, and spiritual health, yet often leaves us feeling unfulfilled. Ecclesiastes provides wisdom, emphasising that while wellness and wisdom are valuable, they have limitations, especially in the face of life's fleeting nature and the inevitability of death. The sermon draws on these themes to point to the ultimate hope in Jesus, who has defeated death and offers eternal life. We're encouraged to live wisely, embracing life's gifts with contentment...

In this sermon, we delved into Ecclesiastes 5 and 6, examining the dangers of wealth and the futility of placing our hope in money.

Despite the allure of wealth, it ultimately slips through our fingers, leaving us empty-handed. Yet, amid this bleak picture, there is hope. We are called to move from...

In this exploration of Ecclesiastes 5, we're challenged to consider how we approach God and practice our faith. The key message is that human-centred religion, focused on our own efforts and merits, is ultimately futile. Instead, we're called to embrace a God-centered approach, recognising our place as creatures before the Creator. The passage reminds us to 'guard our steps' when approaching God, emphasising reverence, listening, and obedience over empty words or unfulfilled vows. This wisdom echoes throughout Scripture, from Moses...

In this powerful exploration of injustice, we're reminded that the world's brokenness is not just a distant reality, but often hits close to home. Through the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, we confront the harsh truth that wickedness, suffering, and poverty are pervasive 'under the sun.' Yet, this sobering view isn't meant to leave us in despair. Instead, it points us towards a greater hope found in God's justice and mercy. We're challenged to consider our own role in perpetuating...
