When Life Hurts—by Ivor Botha
October 3, 2022
Sermon summary:
Psalm 23: Even when you walk through the darkest valleys (mental health, depression, anxiety, financial trouble, divorce, infidelity, death of a loved one, physical pain). Whatever your dark valley is, you've got to find Jesus in the midst of it all. God feeds and cares for you as a good shepherd. Listen for his voice and don't turn away from him.
Sipho, Max, and Aunty Joey shared their experiences When Life Hurts.

True righteousness is justice in practice: following Jesus by seeking what is right, defending the vulnerable, and restoring dignity to those around us.
Put God first by crucifying the idols that steal your time, money and talent. Prioritise Jesus's kingdom, make spiritual effort, and give your best to grow.
Conflict begins in the heart. Jesus calls us to own our part, pursue peace, avoid gossip, show mercy and bless rather than avenge.
