Sermons on Grace
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah! Across the world in Christian homes and churches, and even out in public, these words will ring out today, as Christians joyfully declare and confess this central pillar of our faith, that Jesus rose from death to new life. Mark 16:1-8
Well, my friends, why are you here tonight? Yes, it’s Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, and during the service, you will have an ashen cross marked on your forehead. What does that symbolise? Mark 6:1-6 Mark 6:16-18

It was Mahatma Ghandi who said “Be the Change you want to see”. Christian evangelism is not about shouting down the culture, it is about sharing and showing God’s love in the world. Luke 10:1-11
