RENOVATION Overview When Jesus moves in and begins work, he’s not interested in a quick flip…He’s building a ‘forever home’. His relationship with us is no short-term project, this is for the long-haul. He’s committed for the long-term…are we living like we are too? Join us this week as our special guest, Rob Coyle, shares with us about what it means to make sure Jesus remains our ‘forever home’. Sermon Series Renovation

RENOVATION Overview A house doesn’t feel like a home until there are signs it’s lived in. Photos on the wall, pictures on the fridge, knick-knacks from past adventures…right down to the choice of paint colours, furniture and pot plants. It’s about all the little touches which tell us about the person who lives there. If your life was a house, what signs would there be that Jesus lives there? Would anyone even know? Join us this week as Jonathan Stark helps us think through what it means to allow Jesus to show his personal style in our lives. Sermon Series Renovation

RENOVATION Overview Many renovation projects unearth nasty surprises hidden in the walls or concealed in the ceiling. Things which, if left unaddressed, can threaten the whole project. Dealing with them is rarely cheap or easy but almost always necessary. Join us this week as Bill Brown helps us understand why Jesus pushes us to deal with the things we might prefer were left hidden. Sermon Series Renovation

RENOVATION Overview Problems with the foundations equal problems with the house. We all build our lives on certain foundations, and it’s true that some are stronger than others. Some leave us trying to patch up cracks in the wall day after day, year after year. When we give Jesus the keys to our life, his renovation begins with our foundation. Join us as Chris Danes helps us explore what this means and why it matters so much. Sermon Series Renovation
