Christmas is almost here! And everyone has a different ‘take’ on what Christmas is all about.
We fill it with different things: Family and food. Presents and Public Holidays. The beach and boxing-day cricket.
We feel it in different ways: Celebration and cheer. Loss and loneliness.
We focus it on different things: Gratitude and goodwill in general. Praise of God for providing peace.
We have different takes… and so did the people on the first Christmas. This year at Salt Church, come and join us as we see Christmas through the eyes of some of the first people who were there:
- Joseph – Sun 9 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- Herod – Sun 16 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- Mary – Sun 23 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- The Magi – Tue 25 Dec (9am)
We want a New Home to be and become lifelong disciples because God’s plan is we’d be & become lifelong disciples.
A New Home needs us to be generous and God gives us gifts to be generous with, and the grace to use them.
We want a New Home to make more disciples because Jesus came to save the lost.
We want a New Home for God’s glory because it’ll help us glorify God, and God’s glory is what matters most.
We all want to succeed in life. So what’s the secret recipe for guaranteed success? Rely on God for all we do and be part of what God himself is…
What do you do when everything feels like it's falling apart? Or in those moments when it feels like God has left... This Psalm reminds us what God has done…
Some events are world-shaping and life-changing. Jesus’ resurrection is a life-changing event that really happened - but how can we know? And how does it change anything for us?
The injustice of Jesus' trial before he's crucified on the first Easter gives us the answer to why Good Friday is so good!
When we invest we expect a return - God invests in his people and is looking for a harvest in return but what will he find?
Who is Jesus & therefore, what’s the right response to him? Jesus is God the saving-King so the right response is to trust, obey, worship him. We can bear this…
