Sardis Grow - Exploring the Spiritual Disciplines

  • Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The word discipline may cause many of us to recoil. It sounds too much like the cough syrup which boasts, “It tastes awful. And it works.” In this evening seminar we will explore the spiritual disciplines and see that although requiring attentiveness and commitment, they enable us to experience joy and growth in our walk with God. I think you will agree, they are much better than that famous cough syrup. So come on out and enjoy some coffee, tea, home-made desserts, learning and table discussion together.

Join us Sunday November 24th from 6:30 - 8pm to hear Tim Voth and Dave Lee explore the spiritual disciplines. Dessert and coffee will be provided. If you are planning on coming, please sign up through the button below so we know how many people are coming! Thank you!

Freedom Session

Freedom Session Every Thursday Night at 7pm

Freedom Session will be running at Sardis Fellowship starting Thursday September 19th at 7pm. Freedom Session is a powerful, healing-discipleship journey, inviting you to rewrite your story with a God-inspired ending.

Through biblical teaching, small group discussion and personal reflection, Jesus will heal your heart and empower you to live a life of freedom and purpose.

Freedom Session is one of the most effective, encompassing and transferable healing-discipleship ministries available. Jesus doesn’t identify you according to your behaviours or behaviours committed against you; neither will we. As you open your life, hurts and will to the leadership of Jesus, and invite Him to reinterpret the painful memories that Satan uses to keep you in bondage, Jesus will heal your heart, set you free and give you a vision for life you never thought possible.

Day of Prayer & Fasting

Day of Prayer & Fasting

  • Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us for a day of prayer and fasting on December 2nd. You can choose to participate in this day of prayer however you would like, wherever you find yourself.

As an initiative to increase our dependency on the Spirit, and seeking God to do a transformative work in and through Sardis Fellowship, we set aside the first day of the month to fast and pray. We know not everyone is able to do this in the same way, or to the same degree, so we ask you to consider how you can make this work for you. 

Each month we highlight something to focus on, whether that be in the life of our church family, our local community or world. Sometimes we have specific things for you to pray through and sometimes we just give you the focus and allow God’s Spirit to guide you in your prayer time around that topic. 

If we as a church family want to see the transformative power of God at work in our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and the community we live in, then we need to seek Him in prayer. I trust you’ll join us each month. Pastor Rod Heppell.

December 2nd: Prayer and Fasting

Our focus this month will be praying for the Salvation Army ministry. For their 100th year anniversary of being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. For their work in the shelter, food bank and meeting the spiritual needs of those often overlooked or forgotten.

You can go to the Salvation Army’s website to learn more about what they do and ways you can pray for them.

Seminar - Sharing the Gospel

Pastor Rod is leading a seminar on our new sermon series, “Sharing the Gospel.” Sunday nights from November 5th to the 19th, from 6pm-7pm. We hope to see you there!

Who hasn’t felt the inner tug of the heart to share the good news of Jesus with a friend, family member, co-worker or neighbor? I’m sure we all have. We know the love of Jesus for ourselves and we know he loves our friends too, but we find it hard to talk about Jesus with them. Why is that? If you’d like to talk about this come out to our three part seminar on “developing significant relationships with people far from Jesus” on Nov. 5th, 12th and 19th, from 6-7pm at Sardis Fellowship. We will talk about things like, “What counts as sharing the gospel?” What are the “guts” of the gospel? & “How to have a spiritual conversation with a friend who doesn’t yet know Jesus?” This is all a part of our vision at Sardis Fellowship to be a “loving, just, visible, & transformative presence in our local community.” Centred in Christ, visible in community, transforming our world! To the Glory of God!
