Tim Dyer – The Johnmark Extension
Teaching and training events
Tim is currently preaching series at his home church – Sheffield Bible Chapel on Habakkuk.
Habakkuk the prophet struggles with the suffering and injustice in the world. His pain however does not lead him to accuse or judge God. It causes him to engage God in a hard but trusting dialogue, which is an example for us all in times of darkness and doubt. God calls us not to ‘bail out’ on the conversation but to stay in and to engage his activity in his world.
Merran and I are enjoying spending some time with Punch Bowl Christian Centre for three Sundays looking at Growing to Christian Maturity in the 21st Century.
In this series we are reflecting on the ethical teaching of New Testament writers. We began with Peter’s list of qualities in 2 Peter 5:5-6. On Sunday 26th, we moved to Paul’s list of what values to ‘think on’, and on Sunday 3rd May we looked at the Biblical teaching on the heart.
Notes and presentations follow if you would like to look.
Last Sunday Tim was invited to preach at the Christian Reformed Church in Devonport. His sermon was an introduction to Paul’s teaching on Spiritual Gifts. Tim shared on the likely origin of Paul’s theology as he observed the functioning of God’s grace in the earliest Chrisitan communities.
