Whole and Holy: A Study in James - Perniciousness of Pride
09/06/2024 Duration: 25minOn Sunday Amanda spoke from the book of James 4: 13-5:1-6, for week eight of our series, "Whole and Holy: A Study in James". What happens when one person lives out their faith? When a person lines up their actions with their faith, they become more whole as a person, and more holy as a temple of God. How does that affect their community? This integral faith affects the wholeness and holiness of our community. Journey with us in a season of preparation and anticipation: to make sure our own “house” [as in body] and our own “house” [as in “church community”] is in order. Over the next few months, we are going to take a good look in the mirror and let the Good News shape our every day lives. To visit our Teaching Notes: https://stclair.substack.com/

A Valiant Bride: The Last Battle
29/11/2023 Duration: 25minOn Sunday Amanda closed our series on the church being a Valiant Bride with a message of exhortation. What if Proverbs 31 wasn’t (just) about the good wife? What if it was meant to paint a picture of the church of Christ as a valiant bride/wife to Christ? Join us in one of the most well-known (and possibly mis-understood) biblical passages in the Old Testament to discover hidden wisdom for the church today. Note: Due to technical difficulties, we had to re-record this sermon, hence the late publishing and difference in sound. We felt it was important to get this up as it is our last sermon of the series. Enjoy!
