Last Sunday @ Newlife

Last Sunday morning we began our new series through Lent (the season leading up to Easter) called The Great I Am. Over coming weeks we will explore the seven ‘I Am’ statements that Jesus makes in John’s gospel that reveal his unique human and divine identity. We began with his claim to be the ‘Bread of Life’ (John 6:25-25).
You can listen to or read my message here.

On Sunday night at 12two, I continued our journey in examining some of Jesus’ most provocative and thought provoking words (‘Red Letters’) We looked at Jesus’ claim that the poor in spirit are blessed as theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:3).
You can listen in here.

This Sunday @ Newlife
