Order & Mess

Coventry Elim Church - Coventry

Order & Mess

November 11, 2018 • Pastor Duncan Clark

He is the God of order. He enters chaos and brings order. Not the order of the graveyard, but the order of life.

AND

He meets us in our mess. He delights in our complexity. He meets us in our vulnerability and gently heals and mends.

Laugh & Cry

November 4, 2018 • Shirene Agbelusi

There is a time to laugh. There are moments of outrageous happiness. He turns our mourning into dancing. He laughs with us…and laughs at us! There is joy in His house. AND There is a time to weep. He meets us in our sorrow. He counts our tears; they do not go unnoticed. He comforts. He counsels. He restores.

Friendship & Fear

October 21, 2018 • Pastor Duncan Clark

We accept the invitation to intimacy. We become friends of God. He calls us close. We ‘remain’ in Him. We meet Him in the ‘secret place’. AND We keep our distance because He is holy. We meet Him on our knees. Our Friend is to be feared. He is the Lion, as well as the Lamb. He is dangerous. Unsafe.

Information & Transformation

October 14, 2018 • Pastor Duncan Clark

We love God with our minds. We thrive on teaching. We absorb, memorize, meditate on the Word. We long to learn. AND We love God with our hearts. We allow information to become a catalyst for our transformation. We read for relationship. We expect Christ to be formed in us.
