Bible reading is found in Luke 3. The gospel always starts with repentance. John is baptising people, encouraging them once they have repented of their sins, to live lives in a manner that honours that repentance.

Last service in the vision series. Romans 12:12 – ‘Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.’ Pastor Aaron looks at the importance of choosing to rejoice in the Lord, in spite of what we may be going through. God’s created us so that we receive joy when we do good for others.

Discipleship and growth occur in families. Pastor Aaron explores what this should look like and also highlights bible verse 1 Corinthians 12:12.

Aaron further unpacks what authentic worship will look like as our church congregation and family. There is nothing simpler than a life that has Christ at the centre; nothing more beautiful than a life with Jesus as its focus, nothing more purposeful than a life that concentrates on Christ; there is nothing more needful than a life that rests in Jesus.

Pastor Aaron looks at the vision for Wangaratta Baptist Church over the next few years. We will express ourselves as a church through authentic worship, vibrant family, gospel-centred growth and joyful service. He unpacks in this sermon, what authentic worship looks like and how we can live this as Christians in our community.

Bible reading is found in James 3:13 onward. Aaron explores James’ advice with regards to the words that we use and how they can bring hope or tear people down. How we respond to these words is also important to bring hope into conversations.

Bible reading is found in James 5. Pastor Aaron also looks at Elijah and his hopeful prayer for rain. James ends his book encouraging us to pray in all circumstances and to be particularly concerned about the salvation of others.

Bible reading is found in James 3:13-18. Pastor Aaron reads further into James chapter 4 and explores how we can bring hope. He also discusses the concept of holiness – set apart unto God. He points out that although we are set apart unto God, we are not to judge – that is God’s role, not ours. He discusses our need to fight for hope in our community and families.
