1908-2008 Centenary Year
Every
Sunday (as well as at various times during the week)
folk from naught to ninety and from all walks of
life have met at St. Luke's. When most people think
of 'church' they think of a building. Church
actually refers to the people who meet in the
building. That is why our centenary
celebrates the first time people got together on the
site rather than the completition of the building
itself.

All
our sermon series this Spring 2008 focus us on
what it means to be Authentically
Christian.
(10.30am
service)
1
Thessalonians Paul
writes his first letter to the Thessalonian
church to emphasize that they are genuine
believers and a
model church.
From it we can learn much about what
church looks like, how it comes into being, and
how it keeps going.
Acts
In
his second book, Luke records the beginnings
of the Christian church.
His aim is to show us how Jesus continues
the work He began while on earth. We will see how God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) plans and
guides the spread of the Gospel, and hence
Christianity, to the ends of the world.

(6.30am
service)
Matthew
Matthew’s
early chapters reveal that Christianity is the
true continuation of the Old Testament and the
fulfilment of it.
These early chapters demonstrate that
Jesus is God’s promised King and that it is
through Him and His gospel that the true church
is born and grows.
Titus
Living
in an increasingly secular and politically
correct society means there are greater and
greater pressures on the church to compromise.
Paul’s letter to Titus shows this is
nothing new and in it we find the antidote to
help us be authentic Christians - the teaching
and application of sound doctrine.
Malachi
Malachi’s
prophecy consists of a series of questions and
answers between God and His people.
These reveal the character of God and the
characteristics He expects His authentic people
to show.
