Big Day Together

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 this sermon series, ‘Clash of Kingdoms’, our ministers walked through conversations between Jesus and the people of Israel, talking about the coming Kingdom and how it would change our lives.

In this sermon, Paul Hallam guides us through three interactions people have with Jesus. In these conversations, Jesus reveals the way into the kingdom, that is, how someone can have eternal life. Only those who humble themselves and follow Jesus will enter the kingdom, and we must think about what might be hindering us from following him.
