Living Humbly | Sandra Bruin | Sermon

Sandra Bruin looks at the topic “Living humbly and working together with one mind and purpose”.
We all have an intrinsic desire to have our own needs met. If left unchanneled this selfish desire to dominate others in order to get what we need will cause our families, communities and churches to implode on itself. Come and learn with me how Paul urged the church in Philippi to fight this battle, and how you and I can apply those instructions in practical ways today.

“Listen carefully to what I am saying—and be wary of the shrewd advice that tells you how to get ahead in the world on your own. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity. Stinginess impoverishes.” Mark 4:24-25 (The Message)




God is with you even when you feel stuck

God is with you even when you feel stuck – Acts 12:1-9 / Sandra Bruin
We’re diving into the story of Peter’s imprisonment and his miraculous escape, despite the fact that he was under maximum security. To use the words of Everett Harrison: “The circumstances surrounding Peter’s imprisonment are sketched in simple but dramatic fashion – the power of an earthly monarch pitted against the power of prayer to the Almighty.”




The Lord Needs It

Sandra Bruin shows us how all four gospels tell how Jesus entered Jerusalem as king, riding on a young donkey. Years before the birth of Jesus it was prophesied that their king would enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey colt, gentle and humble. The donkey is an important part of the story.
“The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.” Mark 11:3




Advent: Hope

Join us this Sunday as we explore the first advent theme of Hope. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15: 13 (NIV)




Soul Transformation

Sandra Bruin
How do we love God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind and with all our strength? Heart, mind and strength we are probably able to explain. But what about the soul? How would you describe the soul? On Sunday, I will unpack Jesus’ words in Mark 12:28-31 and together we will learn some ways how to practically apply this commandment in the 21st century.
