King's Church Hastings

Guest Speaker-Dave Holden, explored the hidden treasure in jars of clay.

Jesus said more on money than anything else. The bible makes it clear that money can be a big stumbling block to us giving God our all in our lives. In this passage Jesus explains how we cannot serve two masters (God and money) but also provides us with a solution to our problem. Often orphan-like thinking can prevent us from walking in the freedom of living generously; but when we have an understanding of our identity, God’s father heart and his endless supply – we can give in confidence knowing He shall provide what we need.

Guest speaker Angela Kemm brought a message of the Church's role in the nation, to bring help and hope.

Jesus states how important it is that when we pray and fast we ensure that we are doing so from pure heart motives. Jesus through the Lord’s prayer gives us a pattern for our own personal prayer times. Through the preach the speaker emphasized the need for us all to give time to personal prayer and sometimes fasting. He encouraged us each to go deeper with God in our personal times with Him in order that we may grow as disciples and become more like Jesus.

Jesus didn’t come to abolish the Law. He actually raised the bar. What does this mean for us today?

“I’m just being 100% real!” “It’s just the way I am!” “I’m just being true to myself!” These are all slogans of our day. But Jesus came proclaiming: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The way into God’s kingdom isn’t ‘being true to myself’, but repentance. In Matthew 5:1-16 Jesus starts to describe what this new kingdom looks like and the blessings that come as we respond to God’s grace and work in our lives.

Matthew starts his account of Jesus’ public ministry with an introductory summary to give us a flavor of what’s coming. He shows us that Jesus came to reclaim God’s position as king over all and calls us to repent and come under the reign of God.

Jesus challenges a man who had been freed from an evil spirit to go back to his family and tell them what the Lord had done for him. He heeds Jesus' call and begins to tell his story. When we put our faith in the risen Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, we are changed, our lives are never the same. We stand forgiven and free. Our experience of how we got saved becomes our Jesus story and he calls us to let the world know of his love and mercy for all who would believe.

God with Us - Not just on Christmas Day but every day by King's Church Hastings

Christmas is a story of finding love in a surprising place: we find the love of the God who made us being revealed in the birth of a baby in Bethlehem 2000 years ago. At the first Christmas, God went public with his love by sending his son to be born on earth that he might die to give us life.

The Christmas Story is all about Jesus. He came with a purpose to solve the problem of sin. Within this preach we look to understand the problems sin causes and how Jesus solves it through being Emmanuel God with us.

Materialism is rife in our culture. While we might like to think we're immune from it, there's a danger that the love of money and possessions has crept into our hearts too. As followers of Jesus, we need to ask ourselves if it has, and then be rich in gratitude and rich in generosity as two antidotes to materialism.

In Psalm 23, we see that God is the only place in which we can find restoration for our souls, guidance for our daily lives and a hope beyond the grave. However, we are only able to sing the truths of Psalm 23, because Jesus experienced the pain of Psalm 22. Jesus is the good, good shepherd.

We are busy. Busyness is affecting our work, our health and our relationships. But the problem is not just in our diaries; it’s in our hearts. We feel unhealthily busy when we try to do more than God expects us to do, and we try to do more than God expects us to do because we believe lies about God and ourselves. To begin to tackle the busyness in our diaries, we first have to tackle the busyness in our hearts.
