Sandyhills Parish Church:Reaching out to the community.

The One who reaches out

Luke 19:1-10

Jesus chose to stay at Zacchaeus place whom other people say that he is a sinner. We need to understand that Jesus judges us fairly. People who accepts and believes in Him despite of their doings will be forgiven as long as they repent their sins.

Moving on from Easter

Revelation 21:4 (understanding)
When it's all said and done, the Lord declares that He will wipe away every tear. A better day is indeed coming, and He is working to bring an end to all pain and suffering. As we place our trust in Him, we can know that a new Kingdom awaits… one that makes every moment until then worthwhile!

He saw and believed

John 20 is the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament. It relates the story of Jesus' resurrection. It relates how Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty. Jesus appears to her and speaks of his resurrection and dispatches Mary to tell the news to the disciples.

The last Supper (Maundy Thursday)

Mark14:12-26
Mark tells us that it is the first day of Unleavened Bread (v. 12) which was the day Passover was celebrated. In less than 24 hours Jesus will be delivered up to the authorities and on his way to the cross. Jesus spends his final day with his disciples breaking bread. We know this today as the “Last Supper.”

Holy Week - Why?

P.T.Forsyth's book on "The Cruciality of the Cross", says, 

"a true grasp of the Atonement meets the age in its need of a centre, of an authority, or a creative force, a guiding line and a final goal. IT MEETS OUR LACK OF A FIXED POINT". 
Scripture various.

Equipped for God by God

 Ephesians 4:7-16,
adds one more way we are unified, through the diversity of our gifts—by all the different ways God gives us talents and abilities to serve him by serving the church. We each have different gifts but they fit together as one, like a puzzle.

Unity of the Spirit PT3

Ephesians 4:4-7

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.

Unity of the Spirit Pt2

Unfortunately there was break in the live church service today.

Ephesians 4:1-4

The primary call is to unity. The recipients of the letter should make “every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (4:3). They are to equip the saints for ministry “until all of us come to the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God” (4:13).

Unity of the spirit

Psalm 133 Reminds Us 'We Can Have Unity in Christ' He gave his life on the cross to pay the price for us to be forgiven of our sin, restored to unity with God, which then paves the way for the deepest kind of unity we could have with each other. In other words, the Gospel makes unity in God possible.

GOD father

Chapter 2:1-10

First, salvation is entirely dependent on the grace of God, not human efforts.
Second, this means all Christians are part of the same family, Jew and Gentile alike.

Ephesians 2:10 tells us why: "…God prepared [our good works] beforehand, so that we would walk in them." Any and every good work that we have done has been prepared by God. It has been ordained by His sovereign will. All true good works are God-planned, God-empowered, and God-superintended.
