Southside Community Church - Milton

Speaker: Ian Campbell Sunday, May 20 2018 Meeting Jesus again, for the first time How would you introduce yourself with the words "My name is.. I am.."? Jesus introduced himself using nine different ideas. His good friend John remembered these and tells us how and when Jesus spoke about them. As we begin to dig deep into the eyewitness stories about the life of Jesus this may be a good way for us to begin to meet Jesus again, for the first time. "I am the first and the last, and the living one." Rev 1.18 John heard Jesus make statements about his identity in a new way when he had a vision of the risen Jesus while he was an exile on the prisoner island of Patmos. Now we see a very full caricature of Jesus as we are transported with John into a heavenly setting. This great statement gives full meaning to Jesus' claims that he is the "I am" and the "resurrection and the life."

Speaker: Ian Campbell As we enter 2018 we do so with great excitement looking forward to a move to Main Street. In a different setting with different surroundings, different facilities and many different opportunities some of us will feel tremendously empowered and some will feel quite daunted! For all of us there needs to be a grounding in our understanding of who we are as a church and a movement. So we will spend the last teaching series here on Derry to be reminded of our calling as a church as we review and embed our vision, mission and discipleship values. Each aspect of the Lord's Prayer is full of meaning and direction for us as we learn to pray from Jesus' model for us. But sometimes the most challenging part to pray is "forgive us our sins as we have forgiven those who sin against us." Forgiveness is a huge challenge in our lives and world. What is the Biblical teaching on this important topic?

Do we each understand our contribution and how is the body growing or perhaps not growing because of our participation?

Knowing our particular orientation is tremendously valuable in finding our place and purpose in life. The Apostle Paul sets out these five trades in his teaching to the early church at Ephesus.

Speaker: Ian Campbell The Lord’s Prayer Our Father in Heaven May Your Name be kept holy; May Your Kingdom come soon; May Your will be done on earth As it is in Heaven; Give us today the food we need; Forgive us our sins As we have forgiven those who sin against us; Don’t let us yield to temptation, But rescue us from the evil one; The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory Belong to You for ever. Amen Often someone will ask me if we can pray the "Our Father". This gives away the person's Catholic religious background, and sometimes is the only leftover of faith in the person's adult life. While others might call the prayer "the Lord's Prayer" the other title is not at all inappropriate, because it is precisely the way Jesus began the prayer and it is certainly at the heart of the power of the prayer. So indeed, let us pray the "Our Father" as we begin our Lenten meditation in this teaching of our Lord about prayer.

Speaker: Ian Campbell Scripture Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:1-6 Today, we continue the Advent teaching series based on the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) distinctive. The logo of the C&MA represents the concept of the Fourfold Gospel, the core theme of the teaching of our founder A.B. Simpson. He believed that the church in his day was not experiencing the fullness of what Christ has done for us, and referred to a "half salvation". His idea was that as we fix our attention and life on Christ as Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer and Coming King we will find ourselves entering greater levels of joy and blessing. Our Advent teaching has explored these powerful aspects of the life and provision of Christ as celebrate His first coming and long towards His second. Jesus is our Coming King. Advent is our season of expectation, the season of longing for our King to come. We live as "in-between" people, between the first and second comings of our King Jesus. And we live as "in-between" people, between the Kingdom w

Healing: For some, just the word raises strong emotion. And for many, if not most, the topic of healing raises more questions than it does answers. Does healing really exist today? If it does, why doesn’t God heal people more often? Is it just a matter of faith or getting enough peo
