Join Alan, as he delves into the profound subject of God's unfailing love, a force so vast as a river that never ever runs dry.
This powerful message is crucial for anyone navigating life's highs and lows, offering an understanding of a love that "passes all understanding" and more powerful than the negativity within ourselves.
Drawing from decades of pastoral care experience, Alan highlights that for many, the deep-seated belief that they are not loved is a major issue God seeks to resolve.

Focusing on 1 Samuel chapter 13, Andrew unpacks the narrative of King Saul, highlighting the central tension between what is "asked for" and "hearing God".
Hardship serves as a "sifting" process, distinguishing those who remain faithful to God from those who scatter. Saul's actions reveal a reliance on human strength and numbers, contrasting with God's focus on the heart and trust. Andrew explains that Saul's disobedience involved neglecting both the logos (written scripture) and the rhema (prophetic instruction), demonstrating a failure to truly listen and endure God's word. Are we prone to "giving God a hand" out of impatience, like Abraham or Uzziah, which can lead to unforeseen negative consequences.

This sermon explores the profound truth that God is not a distant deity, but a loving Father who longs for relationship with His children.
