Preacher: Jonathan Smith
The Advent story begins here, not with shepherds and angels, but with the recognition that our world is broken, our worship tainted, and our hearts are in need of renewal. Godʼs holiness demands both judgment and mercy. He will not overlook sin, but neither will he abandon sinners. Only when we see our sin clearly can we grasp the wonder of salvation.

Preacher: Tibor Tumbas
Today in Acts 10:34-48 we see Peter breaking through his prejudices because he realises that God's promises are for everyone - not just for the Jews. God shows no favouritism. We can be thankful for that. Tibor tells us of the conversion of Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial killer.
If we are shocked to think that a person like Jeffrey Dahmer could become a Christian, then we under estimate the power of God. Conversely, if we wonder how could God accept and forgive such an evil person then we do not fully understand the grace of God. For the Jews of the first century, the acceptance of gentiles into the church is their equivalence of Jeffrey Dahmer, such was the disdain for the gentiles by the Jews.
We need to consider how gracious is God because He has accepted us, and that is good news for us.
