Over the past month, Rev Powell has been preaching through the early chapters of Matthew, Luke and John. Across these sermons a few deep, unifying convictions have kept returning:
✨ That faith begins not with what we do, but with what God is doing in the world.
🌍 That Jesus is God’s Saviour, Lord, Light and King for real people, in real places, in real life.
🌱 That God’s ways are often surprising, working through the overlooked, the ordinary, and the unexpected.
👣 That faith is shaped as trustful obedience – stepping into what God is doing even when it feels strange, costly, or unclear.
🤍 That no one is too small, too broken, or too ordinary to be caught up in God’s purposes.
🔄 And that encountering Jesus always changes people – hearts open, directions shift, courage grows.
Running quietly beneath all of this is the truth that this same Jesus is the one who went to the cross, entering the deepest darkness of all, bearing the weight of the world’s brokenness, pain, and death, and opening a way through it for us. ✝️
Taken together, these sermons tell a single story:
🌟 God enters the darkness of the world in Jesus, calls unlikely people, invites trust, and begins to remake lives from the inside out.
It is a story that invites ordinary people, in ordinary places, to see themselves in it too. 🕯️
Are you ready to respond to the call of the living Lord who is still at work, still bringing light, and still inviting you to walk with him? 🙏
