But Jeff showed us in the Old Testament that the Sabbath was a weekly sign in Israel of God’s unprecedented power, goodness,

Last week we welcomed a guest preacher, Ps Gideon Lim. We were exhorted to reflect on the reality of God’s love for us, as beautifully expressed in 1 John 4:7–21. We learned that God’s love is most clearly shown in Jesus. Because he bore our sins on the cross, we need not be afraid of

God’s Word is central to God’s people. With busy lives and tired minds, how easy it is to take God’s revelation for granted! On Sunday, Andy’s message was timely. He encouraged us to read and seek to understand God’s Word as a reminder of truth. If we understand God’s Word, then by His grace this
