Aghavea Parish Church

On Sunday morning we continued our series in Luke's Gospel as Jesus journeys towards the cross. In Luke 12: 35-53 he points forward to the time between his ascension and his return, to show us what the Faithful Servant looks like - watching and working while we wait for his return.

Last Wednesday night we began our special Lent series 'Wisdom for Life' in the book of Proverbs. We started by looking at The Beginning of Wisdom from Proverbs 1:1-7.

At our last family service, we were thinking about foolish farmers and treasure. Listen in to hear what happened from Luke 12: 13-34.

On Sunday we were looking at the Woes of Religion from the end of Luke 11, and also the answer to outward religion from the start of Luke 12. Why did Jesus condemn religious people? What are the dangers of being religious?

On Sunday we listened in as Jesus drove out a demon, only to face opposition on various fronts. Was Jesus working for the devil? Did the crowd need more persuasion by extraordinary signs? We discovered that Jesus is the Stronger, Something Greater Saviour from Luke 11:13-36.

We're continuing our series as we follow Jesus up towards Jerusalem. Along the way, the disciples watch Jesus praying, and ask him to teach them how to pray. Here we look at what Jesus says about praying to our Father in Luke 11:1-13.

As we continue to follow Jesus on 'The Way of the Cross' we find that we are Sent by Jesus to proclaim the Kingdom.

On Sunday 4th January, we began our new series 'The Way of the Cross' as Jesus sets his face to go up to Jerusalem and the cross. We hear the call of Jesus to 'Follow me' .

We're well into January, but here are a couple of sermons which were preached on the Sundays before and after Christmas. The Christmas (Family) Tree Simeon's Bucket List
