On Sunday, Martin shared the first in our sermon series, Jesus in Luke: Challenging the Powers. Martin explored Luke 4:14-30, a verse where we see Jesus challenging a human-centric idea of worship and calling the people to the truth found in verse 18, that "The spirit of the Lord is upon ME", not us as followers, but Jesus.

You can listen or watch the sermons from Jesus in Luke any time on Church Center (usually uploaded Sunday evening or Monday morning): https://avonhead.churchcenter.com/channels/25323/series/80280

On Sunday, Viv shared with us the last of a three-part sermon series in the Book of Ruth. In this last sermon, titled Ruth and David, we learn of the link between Ruth and King David. Through this book, God invites us to consider and see people not as stereotypes, but as He sees them, individually and created in His image.

12/01/2026

Yesterday, Viv brought us the second sermon looking at Ruth. Focusing on chapters 2 and 3.
