Read the text – John 1:1-18
As the first sermon of the Christmas sermon series, ‘Deeper than you think’, we dive straight into the book of John and the nature of Jesus as the Word. Nick Lindeback reminds us of the greatness of Jesus, his place as the Word and why he is important in this, and every other, season. This sermon was given at Lower Mountains Anglican Church, Glenbrook evening service.

In the midst of a disconnection epidemic, God connects with us through the birth of his son at Christmas. In this sermon of our ‘Christmas series’, Nick Lindeback speaks on the birth of Jesus Christ and how it changes everything, connecting us to our loving Father and our new family.
The Lower Mountains Anglican “Big Day Together” brought members from all our locations together for a wonderful day of Bible teaching, Fellowship, Communion, Training and Prayer.
In session 1, we were encouraged by hearing William Taylor, Rector of St Helen’s Bishopsgate, London speak about the confidence we can have in the truth of the miracle of the virgin birth. We are ready for Christmas.
In Session 2 of ‘Big Day Together’, Ken Noakes and Dave Swan highlight the Mission Plans for LMAP and what we are aiming for under God in the next 5 years.
For the final session of ‘Big Day Together’, William Taylor ran a workshop on what ‘Gospelling’ is and can look like and showed us how to use The WORD One to One tool to read the Bible with another. See below for details of how to download the app.

Christmas is a time. The season when we deck our houses with lights and a season when Christians proclaim Jesus as the ‘Light of the World’. In this Christmas Day talk, Gary Haddon looks at the wonderful claim of Jesus that he is the “Light of the World’ and that whoever follows him will never walk in darkness. It is time to worship him.
Read the text – Psalm 27
The Lord is the Light of my Salvation – dwell, seek, learn and wait on the LORD. As Christian get ready for the Christmas season, Psalm 27 is a good reminder that it is because of Jesus that it is possible to dwell forever with God.
Dave Swan gives us a Jesus shaped hope and prepares us to make the most of the Christmas season.
Christmas is known to be a time where it is so easy to be consumed by the presents, pressure or preparations. Yet Christians know that Christmas can be so much more. It is the WORD becoming flesh and making his dwelling among us. These two talks look at what John 1:1-18 say to help us see what for many is the hidden message of Christmas. Happy Christmas.
