"Appearances"
“Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another,
Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying, "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees,
which is hypocrisy."”
Luke 12:1 NIV
Pastor's note:
One of the most common - and most devastating - daggers hurled at the church is the angry
exclamation, "You're such a hypocrite!" How do we respond to this accusation, and more, how do we
avoid being guilty as charged? Thanks for joining us this morning.
Let's Talk
Welcome to a new message series that invites us to join Jesus and his disciples as they shared meals together.
Mealtime conversations gradually build and shape our relationships; it is our desire that this series helps shape our
relationship with Jesus. Pick up a series brochure - or check out the readings each week through the website. Ins and Outs of Sunday Mornings at Tofield Alliance
Welcome to Tofield Alliance Church! We have put together a guide as to what to expect during our service.
The Sunday services usually last around 75 minutes, during which we sing, share what God is doing, hear from
God’s word and thank Him with an offering.
Connection Cards, can be found in the seat back in front of you. We
encourage you to introduce yourself or to comment about the service.
They can be placed in the offering basket as it is passed at the close of
the service.
Offering The offering is a way those who attend regularly support the
facility and ministries of our church, and ministries we partner with
around the world. As a guest, you have not been invited here for your
money, so feel free to pass the offering plate along without any guilt.
Go ahead and bring coffee or tea into the auditorium during
the service. And feel free to stay afterwards for another
cup. Don’t rush away – we’d love to get to know you!
