What Does God Look Like?
Worship Service: Sermon only - 28 May, 2017
This week we ponder the question: What does God look like? The Scriptures make it clear that people have been unable to see God at anytime. Yet, John on the Isle of Patmos (Revelation 1) did appear to see Him. This, though, was not God Himself in His essence, but an important manifestation suited to our finite comprehension, and therefore is a very useful image to help us in developing our relationship with Him. | By Rev.

Understanding Easter and the Lord's Glorification
Worship Service: Sermon only - 16 Apr, 2017
When the time was right, the Lord intervened in the most perfect way to ensure that humanity's pathway to Him would forever remain open. He took on a mortal body, allowed it to be crucified, and rose again on the third day. He glorified His body, meaning that the natural was transformed and became Divine. In doing this, the Lord ensured that He had the last tool that He needed to ensure that all people could be saved. Humanity continues to exist, and the way to heaven remains open, because the Lord came into the world. We can say that these things exist because of Easter. | By Rev. Garry B Walsh , Phoenix, AZ
