Rugby 7's is the sporting and social highlight up to the Hong Kong year. For those of us without tickets, it's still a time to meet all sorts of interesting people. Let's welcome friends, old and new as they worship with us this wonderful weekend! We start a sermon series on the 7's. Only our 7's will be the seven "I Am" statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John. Pastor Greg |

This WeekBible Series Talk - 'Boring, Shocking, Misunderstood, and Very Meaningful' - Pastor Matthew
Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are famous as books for lawyers and priests, or rather more ignominiously, as 'the most boring books of the Bible!' But are they all snoozy? What can we learn about God from a list of laws or a census? Are nonsensical rules such as 'do not boil a young goat in its mother's milk' or 'you shall not allow a witch to live' or the genealogies in Numbers relevant today? We will focus on stories that foreshadow Jesus Christ in Numbers (such as the serpent in the wilderness) and passages that display God's mercy through God's justice inDeuteronomy and Leviticus. |
