As the sun sets on 2024 we reflect and give thanks to the Lord for His provision and providence throughout the year. We conclude this final Lord's day with a communion service.

Romans

The overarching theme of Romans is “The righteousness that comes from God through the gospel of Jesus Christ.” As we study Paul’s letter to the Romans it will nourish us and will enable us to walk out our Christianity in a more practical way - which will ultimately bring glory to God. It will also anchor us in the gospel of Christ and make us stronger to stand against the attacks of the enemy, who in these last days, knows that his days are numbered because Jesus is coming back.

Matthew

Matthew's Gospel is a treasured account of the life and work of Christ. Being a Jew, this Gospel focuses on how Christ is both the fulfilment of the Law, and the embodiment of the long awaited Messianic king that the Jews were waiting for.
