Chowdene Community Church Gateshead - Weekly Message

This week on Preacher's choice, Heather explores “The Humour of Jesus Christ.” In this inspiring message, she reveals how Jesus used storytelling, sharp wit, and subtle humour to connect with people, challenge perspectives, and bring His message to life.

Last Sunday's Preacher's Choice sermon saw Tim explore Genesis 1:24-31 in a compelling and thought-provoking message entitled The Image of God. Beginning with the question, “What does it mean to be human?”, he unpacks our God-given identity, purpose, and value as image-bearers of the Creator, challenging us to see ourselves and others through God's eyes.

This week, as part of our Preacher's Choice series, Corinne explores the story of Anna, the faithful prophet who recognised Jesus when others overlooked Him. Through Anna's life of worship, prayer, and patient expectation, we are challenged to consider what it means to remain faithful while waiting on God and how we can recognise His presence at work in our own lives.
