Gospel in Action - Count It All Joy

Join us at Logan as we commence our new series this Resurrection Sunday, Gospel in Action. This week Pastor Henry reminds us of the transformative power of joy amidst trials. Our Christian heritage enriches our journey with Christ so embrace trials with joy, knowing that they refine our faith like gold under fire, leading to steadfastness and completeness. Remember, endurance produces character and hope, guiding us through temporary setbacks. So, as you face challenges, present your requests to God with thanksgiving, knowing that He strengthens you. Allow this message to uplift your spirit and empower you to walk confidently in faith throughout the week.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. - James 1:2-4 (ESV)

We Are – Next Generation

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, We Are. This week Pastor Jr brings a powerful message to emphasise the importance of maintaining a Christ-centered approach to relationships amidst a world filled with distractions and differing ideologies. Let us hold fast to the discipleship principle of following Jesus, fostering fellowship, and actively engaging in outreach. Amidst the challenges and uncertainties, prioritise Jesus in every aspect of your life, knowing that He is the steadfast anchor in the storm. Take comfort in the assurance that God’s word is powerful and transformative, capable of guiding and sustaining you through every trial.  

Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” – Acts 17:29-31 (ESV)

We Are - Worship

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, We Are. This week Marius guides our reflections on worship with biblical insights. Worship is not merely a collection of songs, but a profound connection with the divine. Worship transcends life's challenges, offering solace and strength. Remember, in the midst of adversity, God remains our unwavering light and salvation. Let this as a beacon of encouragement, reminding you to embrace a lifestyle of worship, anchored in intimacy with the Almighty. Embrace His presence, find refuge in His love, and let worship become the cornerstone of your journey.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. - Psalm 27:1-4 (ESV)

We Are - Family

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, We Are. This week Pastor Henry focuses on the significance of family within the context of discipleship.  Embrace the truth that the church is not just a gathering of individuals but a spiritual family united by a common bond in Christ. Let the values of love, support, and accountability within this family inspire you to deepen your connections and foster genuine relationships. Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your journey; your fellow brothers and sisters in Christ are here to walk alongside you, offering encouragement, prayers, and a listening ear.

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. - Romans 12:9-13 (ESV)

We Are - Outreach

This week Henry emphasises the importance of seeing ourselves as disciples of Jesus and living out Jesus' purpose in our lives. While reaching out to others may come with its own set of challenges, it's essential to remember that it's not just a task for specific people, but something that every disciple of Jesus is called to do. Whether it's fear or uncertainty holding us back, we must recognise that our purpose in reaching out goes beyond simply making friends or fitting in. Like Jesus, we should see those around us not just for who they appear to be, but for the potential they hold, the struggles they face, and the desire to belong and make a difference. With this perspective, we can step into our role as ambassadors of Christ, reaching out with love and compassion, just as Jesus did.

 

After this he went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, “Follow me.”  And leaving everything, he rose and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at table with them.  And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”  And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.  I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” - Luke 5:27-32 (ESV)

We Are - Discipleship

Join us at Logan as we commence our new series titled, We Are. This week Pastor Henry encourages us to see our life as a journey of discipleship. Discipleship is not just about following rules or attending church services; it is about a personal and ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ. It's about walking closely with him, allowing him to transform your life, and being committed to him wholeheartedly. Don't be afraid of the challenges that come with this journey; embrace them as opportunities for growth and deeper fellowship with Jesus and your community. As you engage in this journey of discipleship, know that you are not alone. Let's strive to live out our core values, particularly discipleship, so that we can have a lasting impact on our communities and the world. 

While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. - Matthew 4:18-22 (ESV)

Set Apart - Holiness Completed

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, Set Apart. This week Stephanie looks at the future completion of holiness in God's redemptive plan. There is a new heaven and earth where sin and evil are eradicated and we are freed from bondage. God's intention for creation was delayed by sin, but it is not stopped; it is still to come. Your sacrifices for holiness are building towards a greater, eternal goal. Persevere, trust in His redemptive plan, and strive for holiness, knowing that you are part of a greater, redemptive story.

And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. - Revelation 21:5-7 (ESV)

Set Apart - Holiness Lived

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, Set Apart. This week Pastor Henry explores the journey from alienation to holiness lived, offering encouragement amidst life's challenges. Despite any cultural pressures or struggles you may face, remember that through Christ's death and resurrection, you are no longer alienated from God but are welcomed into a restored relationship with Him. Embrace the call to focus on Jesus amidst life's challenges, trusting in His unfailing love and guidance. As you journey through life, may you find strength and reassurance in the surpassing greatness of our Savior, living out the holiness bestowed upon you by His grace.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister. - Colossians 1:21-23 (ESV)

Set Apart - We Priests

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, Set Apart. This week Pastor Henry explores the theme of holiness and restoration. There are imperfections present in both human priests and sacrificial lambs, which is their own shortcomings. We all make mistakes, but the key lies in seeking forgiveness and reflecting on our response when things go wrong. Let us find comfort in the truth that God, in His relentless love, provided the ultimate solution for our reconciliation through Jesus. As you navigate challenges, hold onto the promise that God steps into our mess, pain, and brokenness, offering redemption and restoration.

The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. - Hebrews 7:23-25 (ESV)

Set Apart - New Things

Join us at Logan as we continue with our current series, Set Apart. This week Pastor Henry explores the theme of being "set apart" for new things in 2024. You can embark on a journey of self-reflection, leaving behind hindrances to personal growth and holiness.  We are set apart for new things so consider how you are approaching the new year. As you place your trust in God, you can stand still, assess what lies ahead, and come close to God to listen to His guidance. 

The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. And as for you, command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, ‘When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’” And Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God.” - Joshua 3:7-9 (ESV)
