Famous Last Words • Amanda Emberley • Ascension Online
Catch up with the talk from this week's Sunday service.
Today Amanda talks about how boldly preaching the Gospel and prioritising God's will over personal desires are essential for true Christian faith and spiritual maturity, especially in a culture that often distorts the truth to fit individual agendas.
1. 00:00 📖 Paul's final message to Timothy underscores the vital role of boldly preaching the Gospel as a key Christian duty.
2. 02:43 📖 Always share the powerful word of God, even when it's inconvenient, as many will seek teachings that align with their desires rather than the truth.
3. 03:36 🙏 Living according to the gospel means prioritising God's will over self, contrasting with the self-centered message of today.
4. 05:48 🛤️ Rejection of true teaching arises from emotional desires, prompting people to distort the gospel to align with personal agendas instead of seeking God's truth.
5. 08:28 🌀 Contemporary culture emphasises individual authority and self-centered spirituality, undermining true faith commitments.
6. 11:03 🏁 Embrace God's grace, pursue spiritual maturity, and finish your race with faith to receive the promised crown of righteousness.
7. 14:55 🏃♀️ Embrace God's grace and cultivate fearless faith to navigate life's race with courage in a self-reliant world.

Church Rocks! • Marcus Gibbs • Ascension Online
Amen. Thank you for today. I am proud to be part of the big church family and in the family of God. Through this baptism I feel I will look at life differently. As I am going to continue to volunteer at Parish Coffee with a different perspective. God bless everyone in Balham and beyond.
Marcus you are a Transformational Guide 🙏🏻🐦🔥🌈 carry on inspiring and guiding 💚
Congratulations to Tim and Jo for their marriage. I pray they will be blessed throughout the rest of their lives, no matter what they go through. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😇😇😇😇😇😇
Good to hear this again, God help us put this into action 🙏
How much more!! Ask and He will provide.. so clear, pure and profound!!! God told David after Bathsheba … if you didn’t have enough.. I would have given you more!
I want 100 people of god
Hello from New Zealand. Brilliant talk, well illustrated. Look forward to your next one!
Jesus says, if you love me you will obey my commandments. Our disobedience have consequences, I understand Jesus loves us so much no matter what but when we sin we are separated from God.
I love the sound of the silent retreat 🙌☺️
I had to listen to this again, I kept getting the nudge to as it impacted me so much! “ Dear Father please continue to help me 🙏🤲 “
Afternoon Ascension Church 🙏🏿☺️
Can't wait
Well done team for the excellent work over the past year. Keep it up
This is a sermon about Advent given by Amanda Emberley. The main points of the sermon are: Advent is about waiting for the fulfillment of God's promises. The passage in Isaiah 9 that is read at Christmas services is about a newborn king who will bring justice and peace. This king is Jesus, and he is the fulfillment of God's promises. We are still waiting for God's promises to be fully realized, but we can be confident that he will be faithful. Advent is a time to wait and watch for God, and to pray for his promises to be fulfilled. The speaker also talks about the commercialization of Christmas and how it can distract us from the true meaning of the season. She encourages us to use Advent as a time to reflect on what we are waiting for and to thank God for his faithfulness. Summary by Google bard

Excellent words and intentions
Thank you Marcus, it was a great sermon - both inspiring and eye-opening! Never heard of the P.R.A.Y method from Peter Gregg before and I really liked the Lectio Divina's exercise. Will definitely use them more often in my prayer time 😇
I just shared this on my family WhatsApp group, this was a powerful sermon 🙌

In judgement day, God is going to destroy the idols of the nations, high and lifted up on a flag pole, together with the idol worshippers of the flag. God is against serving or pledging allegiance to OBJECTS, SYMBOLS, or IMAGES, made in the likeness of anything in heaven above, or made in the likeness of anything in the earth below. [ Exodus 20:3-5 ] & [ Deuteronomy 4:15-19 ]
Personhood ? 😮
The longevity of this myth, this politically ideological myth, this source of power held by some over many, is staggering. Mankind will not progress until this myth is cast into the dustbin of history as a blip on the radar of the independent, autonomous, individual human being. We really need no more than 13 years of gestation outside the mothers body after spending about nine months gestating inside it to begin to stand on our own two feet. How is this myth so enduring? Organised, man-made religion is only ever one generation away from extinction. Save your children from this mind-bending, freedom suppressing nonsense and it will die on the vine. Without the malleable minds of the next generation of intellectual slaves this rubbish dies!
You can you tell me why is people are so prejudice for know reason

This is so! speaking to me. Thank You for this word Lord.

The words that were highlighted to me personally from this scripture are: Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. I’ve been convicted of this for some time, to even spend half an with God first thing, I do it but not! at all consistently 🗣🙏🤲🎼🙇♀️📖
