As we conclude this series, we now ask: is Christian hope merely a personal experience or something far greater? God not only wants His people to experience hope personally – but to share it globally. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Romans 5:1-5 (TNIV)
Uncertainty seems to be God’s favourite environment to work in… why? It seems to be the place where it unseats our deepest source of security. So the question comes – how can we have peace and certainty when these things come undone? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Phil 4:4-9 (TNIV)
When things get uncertain, people often get wobbly. They may not want or mean to, but at the end of the day it’s like the ground has come out from underneath you. Christians were different. Some Christians today are different. How is it the Christian hope produces stability in the context of uncertainty? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: 1 Peter 1:3-9 (TNIV)
We as families and people, as a nation and a culture, face uncertainty like never before. Yet, uncertainty is nothing new. The Bible is full of stories and narratives taking place in the midst of extraordinary uncertainty. The question for us today is: is it possible that God is still active and still accomplishing his purposes when there seems to be no indication of his activity? How can you be certain in uncertainty?

What if you want to Encounter God and he doesn’t seem to be there? What if you have previously encountered God and He doesn’t seem to be turning up now? As we finish this series, Sam will bring an overview message looking at this: “what you do if even after looking at the examples of God encounters you still happen to find yourself in a place of spiritual darkness or dryness”? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Psalm 42:1-11
What if the methods of God’s transformation of people is far less dramatic than you realise? In this message we’ll see Elijah encountered a God capable of mind blowing acts, yet chooses to change people with discreet intentionality. Speaker: Sam Haddon
We live in an era and society where in spite of the hang ups about church, the desire for spiritual experience seems to be growing. But what does it mean to have a Christian experience? What does it mean to actually experience God? This week we’ll look at the biblical Character of Isaiah who was someone who came face to face with God.
