People are our Hearts, Jesus is our Message

This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves.1 John 3:16. (MSG)

New Year message from Rev Nat and Stacey....

Closing the doors on 2024: From my family to yours, Love. Peace, gratitude and happiness to you, and over you. As you close this year and with optimistic anticipation start the next; desire inwardly to learn from the lessons this year has given you. Take & hold closely all of the happy moments & the good times, along with the regrets, the sadness, the losses and endeavour to grow from the character-formation & lessons those things taught you. We grow the most in character in the places of challenge & discomfort. The acceptance of Hardship is the pathway to peace. Making peace with that in the refuge and safety of community is sacred.........

Watch now - Rev Claire Nicholls

Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (NLT)
