St John’s Diamond Creek Talks

Zechariah’s Song || Delle Matthews|| Luke 1:67-79

Have you ever thought – what I’ve done is too bad. Unforgivable. Irredeemable? Well simply put. You’d be wrong. With Christmas just around the corner, here’s your reminder that Jesus is our one true hope, and that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Mary’s Song || Joel Snibson || Luke 1:46-56

It can be hard to see from our 2000 year of removal from the birth of Jesus, but his coming was the start of a revolution. Like all good revolutions, this one had an anthem in song: Mary's song, that we find in Luke.

Hannah’s Song || Tim Johnson || 1 Samuel 2:1-10

Today marks the start of Advent, a season of quiet anticipation for Christmas. Maybe not so quiet these days, as seasonal creep brings Christmas carols earlier and earlier, and pre-Christmas catchups mount. But as a church, we’re trying to make space for meditation as we think on four songs found throughout the bible, each reflecting on the character of God, and heralding Jesus’ arrival at Christmas.

Miriam’s Song || Joel Snibson || Exodus 15:1-18

As we wait for Christmas, to celebrate the birth of our saviour, carols will be a big part of that. Singing to remind ourselves, and to bring praise to God for who his is and what he’s done. We’re starting a new series today looking at song from the bible, songs of salvation. Our song today is Miriam's Song, found in Exodus 15.

Part of God’s Story || Tim Johnson || Colossians 3:1-14

What stories do we tell ourselves? Maybe stories of success, accomplishment, achievement. Maybe stories of failure, and an attitude of “I’m not good enough”.
We’re coming to the end of our series on identity, called You Do You, and well today be exploring how the stories we live in shape our identity.

Made for God || Tim Johnson || Galatians 4:4-11

We’re halfway through our You Do You series- exploring this idea of ‘expressive individualism’, and where we find our identity. Modern western culture says to find your true self, you just need to look inward. But as we’ve seen, looking inwards isn’t the answer.
Today, Tim continues the series and suggests to truly know ourselves we need to look UP, not just IN. To know ourselves is to know that we are made by and for God.

Made for Community || Joel Snibson || 1 Peter 2:1-10

There’s a saying, that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. The idea being that we are shaped by those we interact with the most. Today we’re exploring the idea that ‘You Do You’ doesn’t work, as we’re made as people who need community.
We’re continuing our series You Do You? Looking through Brian Rosner’s book on what’s called expressive individualism, with Joel today showing the communal aspect of our identity.
