Romans Chapter 11:1-16 : The Journey to the New World

Sat, 28 Sep 2024 12:00:00 -0400

Romans Chapter 11:1-16: The Journey to the New World. When God makes promises he keeps them. Maybe you doubt that at times. But in these verses, we see that one of his biggest promises was made to the Jewish people and that God is still keeping that promise. If God will reach his ancient people then we can be assurred of his power and willingness to reach those in our own lives who seem so far from Christ.

Instead, the Spirit of Christ stands ready to work within our hearts, adopting us into God's family. Then we know that we are home.

But in Romans Chapter 4:13-25 Paul walks us through his faith as an example of how we drive all the way home to God.

Boasting. Romans Chapter 3:27-31. Worship is like a well of water, it should refresh you. But it can be poisoned by boasting. If we think we have contributed even a tiny amount to our salvation we can’t put God on the highest level of gratitude. We “loom too large and God too small.” “We will not worship with the absolute sense of humility, dependence, and thanksgiving that always marks the best worship.”

Sat, 06 Apr 2024 07:00:00 -0400

What Lies Beneath the surface of the people we think we know? Movies have been made to investigate that idea. In Romans Chapter 3:9-20 paints the darkest colors of humanity which Wester Civilisation for more than a thousand years gave strong credence to. It paints the picture of our inability to reach God through our efforts and thus sets the scene for humanity's desperate need for divine intervention in the coming of Christ. We see that we even need to repent of our good works because we have inevitably twisted them for personal gain i.e. putting God in our debt. But freedom is when we see we are in debt to God!

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 09:00:00 -0400

One of the big changes in people's thinking has been to put God on trial for all the evil things we see in this life. So in Romans Chapter 3:1-8 we see a very different picture, that it's humanity that has to answer for evil, even if we come from a place of spiritual privilege like the Jews did in the days when the Apostle Paul wrote these words. We see past hang-ups about God being put to good use, present blessings that make you more responsible for trusting in God, and a picture of faithfulness for the future.

Does your faith create pride or humility within you? If it's the latter then you are using God's Law as intended, as a means of pointing you to Jesus as the only one who can bring us home to God.

How can people be lost who have never heard about Jesus? The Bible addresses this question in Romans Chapter 2:12-16 by telling us that people will be judged based on what they know about God through creation and their conscience. They won't be judged for rejecting Christ when they've never heard of him but they still face the judgment of the One who made them.

When God Gives Up? Instinctively everybody knows there is a God. But what do people do with that knowledge? Romans Chapter 1:21-32 tells us that we push that thought away because we are so focused on fulfilling the desires of our heart. The real fall out of that though is if God gives us over to those desires.

Isaiah Chapter 1: Thankless Children

Sat, 13 Jan 2024 09:00:00 -0500

Thankless Children - We can all get nervous about the world we live in and where it's heading. In Isaiah Chapter 1 shows three levels of collapse, national, religious and social. He illustrates what is behind this by taking us around a small town where we stop at home, a farm, a hospital, a church before finally stopping at the laundrette where our past failures can be washed away.

Missing Jesus at the Festival

Sat, 06 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0500

Missing Jesus at the Festival. At Christmas it's easy to be caught up with everything that happens and miss its significance just as Mary and Joseph missed Jesus at the festival in Luke 2:1-12, 41-53. Instead, the greatest discovery of life lies open before us; that the Father of Jesus can become our Father too.

Seeing Jesus Clearly

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 08:00:00 -0500

Jesus shows us that it's often those who think they have already got life figured out that are blind to the bigger picture (John 9 verse 41). While if we are humble enough to admit we don't know everything then we are in a better place to begin to see what God wants to do in us and through us.

Born to Die!

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 12:00:00 -0500

Born to Die! The most devasting thing you can face in life is probably going to be the death of a loved one. In Hebrews 2:10-18 we see that one of the main reasons for Jesus coming into this world was to destroy the fear of death that still haunts humanity. Christ claims to have an answer to that fear and that is a claim we all need to listen to.

Homeless at Christmas

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 10:00:00 -0500

Homeless at Christmas - God's love towards outsiders who are far from home is seen in the famous encounter between Jesus and Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10.

Acts chapter 24: Opportunities in Difficult Times

Sat, 09 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Opportunities in Difficult Times. Sometimes you can feel caught up in a great game of chess like Paul in Acts chapter 24 where he is attacked and defended. But then like digging in a coal mine, feeling overwhelmed by the darkness God can let you find some unexpected diamonds in the dust.

Acts Chapter 23:12-24: Providence and Protection

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0500

Providence and Protection. We often talk about chance, fate, and coincidence. But in Acts Chapter 23:12-24 we see the power of God's providence that works behind the scenes of life, including the most dangerous of moments in life.

Acts 23:1-11: The Power That Protects

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 10:00:00 -0500

The Power That Protects: Christianity makes incredible claims about the influence and protection of Christ over the lives of those who trust him. In Acts 23:1-11 we see how Christ protects us in times of conflict. This in turn frees us to treat those we are in conflict with respectfully. Then we see how God can use our past, and his wisdom, along with a deep awareness of his protecting presence.

Acts Chapter 22:1-30: Sharing your Conviction with the Convinced

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 10:00:00 -0500

Sharing your Conviction with the Convinced.
It's never easy to get through to folk who are very convinced of their ways and today our society is polarizing between very strongly held opinions. But Paul models for us a way to connect, communicate, and convict people like that, as seen in Acts Chapter 22:1-30.

Acts Chapter 21: When Plans Backfire

Sat, 28 Oct 2023 13:00:00 -0400

When Plans Backfire: There are times in life when things seem to get worse, not better and you can feel like you are lost in a maze with every step taking you deeper into it rather than finding a way out. In Acts Chapter 21 Paul faces such a time through the misunderstanding of people, but in that moment he was following the model of Christ himself which is what keeps us on mission.

Growing Pains

Sat, 21 Oct 2023 08:00:00 -0400

Growing Pains : Growth in a church can bring its own trials. In Acts 21:15-25 we see friction arising, the filter we can put proposed solutions through and the right level of flexibility that is required to maintain unity.

Facing Challenges in Life: There are times in your life when you don't just fear what is going to happen but know that something difficult is just around the corner. In Acts 21:1-14 Paul stands as a great example of how God can take us through such experiences.

Transfiguration on the Mountain of Prayer

Sun, 08 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0400

Experiencing Mountain-Top Prayer: Prayer is more than a shopping list for God, it has to be about glimpsing the glory of who Christ is. In Luke Chapter 9:28-43 we see a prayer meeting on a mountain revealing Christ's glory and preparing his followers to face the darkness at the foot of the mountain.

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0400

The Lord's Prayer: If you want to learn something well in life it's good to learn from the best. When it comes to prayer, Jesus is the best teacher. In Matthew 6 we follow him up the mountain of prayer like a guide, leading us through the gateway of the fatherhood of God and up the mountain pathway.

The Power of Waiting in Prayer

Sat, 23 Sep 2023 08:00:00 -0400

The Power of Waiting in Prayer. Everyone may pray and everyone finds waiting for an answer really challenging. 1 Kings 18 and James 5, encourage us with the example of Elijah's perseverance in prayer. Despite being just as human as the rest of us such waiting can be met with the power of God.

Intercessory Prayer

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0400

Intercessory Prayer. The heart of prayer is dependence on God. In Exodus 17 there is a very graphic picture of that total dependence as Moses stretches his arms up to heaven while Joshua fights in a valley below. This is the first of four mountains of prayer that we will be looking at as the congregation prepares to reach out with the Good News of Jesus.

Proverbs Chapter 9: Decision Day

Sat, 02 Sep 2023 10:00:00 -0400

Decision Day. Life is filled with major decisions. None come bigger than deciding on the overall direction of life. In Proverbs Chapter 9 that choice is stripped down to its most elemental, portrayed as a choice between two women who will lead you in two very different directions in life.

Designed For Delight

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 08:00:00 -0400

Designed For Delight: What is life when there are no connections? Very lonely, very broken. Apps on our phones are so addictive because they give us a sense of connectedness- you can see where friends are all over the world, and you can reach out to them and get an immediate response. Yet visit people in hospitals all around any city, and people are struggling because they don’t have anyone to take their dog for a walk or family nearby who will help them recover. So many people don’t have meaningful relationships. Proverbs Chapter 8 shows us that we are made to be connected, that wisdom for connection is part of creation, and that we are called to connect to God through Christ.

Derailing The Good Life

Sun, 20 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0400

Derailing The Good Life: Even good company in life can sour if you let finances get in the way of friendships. Proverbs Chapter 6 lays out a warning about that as well as painting some unflattering portraits of the kind of men no one should ever marry! These are different ways that threaten our ability to build a healthy community around us. In turn, that points us to Christ who is building a community that will last forever and is the very definition of the good life.

For Your Eyes Only: Sexuality is a hugely important part of our humanity. But it's very value means we have to look after it. Through the lens of Proverbs Chapter 5 we can spot danger some of the danger signs of temptation that threaten it, see our defenses and discover the deepest love that making love points to.

Married to the Good Life

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 08:00:00 -0400

Married to the Good Life. To make sense of this world we need a source of insight from outside of this world. Proverbs 3 wants to make this as attractive to its original audience of young men so wisdom is portrayed like the kind of woman you would want to marry to make your life complete. She celebrates life by enriching it, sustaining it, and protecting it, three things we all need to live the good life.

The Good Life in Smallville

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 12:00:00 -0400

The Good Life in Smallville. Everybody needs the wisdom that should come from good parents and talks around the kitchen table to help us navigate life like we'd use a compass. But we also need wisdom that comes from a higher, divine source, that acts like a map giving us the big picture of life, sometimes called a worldview. Proverbs chapter 3 describes how these sources of wisdom are essential in navigating us into the good life.

Treasure Hunting

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 13:00:00 -0400

Treasure Hunting. If you want your life directed by wisdom then don't sit back you have to go looking for it like you would if you had a treasure map. That's what Proverbs 2 calls us to do. Here we see the need to search for treasure, what discovering this treasure looks like, and how to spend it well. When you do it can bring you deeper success than Elon Musk, make you tougher than James Bond, and wiser than Socrates in the ways of God!

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 18:00:00 -0400

Courage For Hard Days. Courage is when you know that you are going to face something hard but you still go ahead with it. In Acts 20:22-24 We see how God guides us through our trials, equips us to face them and enables us to testify to Christ during them.

Steps to Ministry. It has been said that God’s kingdom grows in God’s ways, in God’s time, through God’s people in God’s power. In Acts 20:1-20 we see steps towards being able to minister in God's kingdom in that way. Here we see the purpose, the people and the power of ministry.

Stepping Out in Faith

Sun, 28 May 2023 09:00:00 -0400

Stepping Out in Faith. There are times when God asks you to step out in faith and only as you do so will you see his amazing provision. In Matthew 14:22-36 Peter walks on water with Christ. He may have wavered that day but the experience must have been transformative for the rest of his life. So if you want to walk on water you have to get out of the boat! That's the only way to make bigger discoveries about Jesus.

Overcoming Fear. In Matthew 10: 16-33 Jesus repeats himself three times saying, do not fear, because he knows that's what we do so easily! There is the fear of other people but he cures that with the fear of God, an awe that puts all our fears into perspective.

Sat, 29 Apr 2023 08:00:00 -0400

You've Got to Believe It. The claims at the heart of Christianity are absolutely huge, that there is even an answer to death. In 1 Corinthians.15 we discover that this is the best offer you can ever receive in life, how we can be confident in the offer, and how to receive the offer personally.

Sat, 15 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0400

Releasing Hatred. In the movie Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood we see a man slowly released from hatred. Jonah Chapter 4 reveals to us the power of Christ to do the same in our lives.

Drowning in the Darkness

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 10:00:00 -0400

Drowning in the Darkness: Jonah Chapter 2 presents us with the vocabulary for those dark times in life. Few have ever been in such a dark place as Jonah was but even he found hope through the reality of the God who can hear prayers in the darkness.

When We Think We Know Better Than God

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 20:00:00 -0400

When We Think We Know Better Than God. Jonah Chapter 1 is a classic life lesson on running from God and how that never works out quite how we expect it! In fact it can often reveal something inside ourselves that needs to change.

It's a Wonderful Life

Thu, 09 Mar 2023 16:00:00 -0500

It's a Wonderful Life: Multinationals and the wealth they generate can help fuel the idea that life is all about money. Isaiah Chapter 23 unveils the inherent instability behind even the greatest financial giants and points us to where real security in this life and the next can be found.

Never Disappointed

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 08:00:00 -0500

Never Disappointed: Many people have asked of life, is that it? But that is like an eagle trying to live like a mole, refusing to see the bigger picture of life with God at the center. Isaiah Chapter 22 highlights the danger of being so short-sighted and points to Christ who will not disappoint us.

Empathy for an Enemy

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 08:00:00 -0500

Empathy for an Enemy. God is in control of whatsoever comes to pass and yet earthquakes hit this world. In

Tempted by a Quick Fix

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 11:00:00 -0500

Tempted by a Quick Fix. It's easy to envy and then want to copy those who are the success stories of our culture. But Isaiah Chapter 19 graphically sees the danger of dancing with this temptation, by dissecting what people trust in. Then we can see that so often it's like building on sand. Instead, we need to hear God's invitation to build our lives upon Christ, the Rock that never fails.

The Cure for Spiritual Amnesia

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 18:00:00 -0500

The Cure for Spiritual Amnesia. The Russian novelist and essayist Aleksander Solzhenitsyn gave his Templeton Address in 1983 and his words still ring true;
"I heard a number of older people offer this explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: 'Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened'…. If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men have forgotten God.'"

"What is more, if I were called upon to identify the principal trait of the entire 20th century, I would be unable to find anything more precise than to reflect once again on how we have lost touch with our Creator." (Quoted from Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, "Men Have Forgotten God" condensed by Readers Digest (September 1986), 21.) In this message from Isaiah Chapter 17, we see the same diagnosis but also with a cure for those times when we forget God.

Sun, 29 Jan 2023 10:00:00 -0500

Losing and Gaining Everything. Listen to the story of Miriam a refugee, who brings to life the truth of Isaiah Chapter 16 that you can lose everything in life, and yet at the same moment gain everything! Although Miriam does not exist, this message told in the first person is replicated in thousands of lives down through history and across the globe today.

Pride Comes Before a Fall

Thu, 26 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0500

Pride Comes Before a Fall so reaching for the stars doesn't always go to plan. In Isaiah Chapter 14, verses 1 to 17 we see promises from God, the problem of Pride and the perspective death brings to our lives.

Living Through a Spiritual Car Crash: People can have a real go at you in life. In Acts Chapter 19, verses 23 to 41 we see Paul's life hitting a moment of intense opposition.

The Long Distance Relationship

Sat, 17 Dec 2022 14:00:00 -0500

The Long Distance Relationship. Loving someone far away from you can be hard. So as we walk through the season of Advent it is a good time to dwell upon Christ's second Advent when he will return. John 14:1-21 shows us that the love Christ had for his followers when he was with them will be the same when he returns. It is a love that completes us, nurtures us, and constantly communicates with us.

Confident Christianity

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 06:00:00 -0500

Confident Christianity. Are you tempted to be a spiritual chameleon, blending in with your surroundings so no one will ever question your faith? There is a better path to walk. In Acts chapter 19 verses 8 to 20, we are encouraged to be confident (yet humble) when bringing Christ into the public square, even in the face of opposition.

Close but not Quite There

Sun, 04 Dec 2022 08:00:00 -0500

Close but not Quite There. People can be just one step away from making the biggest discovery of their lives and it may be your call to help them cross over that line. Acts chapter 19 verses 1 to 7 we meet people who were followers of Jesus' cousin John the Baptist who finally came to understand who Christ is, setting off a revolution in their home city.

The Offer of a Lifetime

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 08:00:00 -0500

The Offer of a Lifetime. Doing the right thing, even being successful in life doesn’t mean you will be excluded from hardships. In fact, the two are usually joined at the hip. As we see a powerful invitation to the Gospel being made in Acts chapter 17 verses 1 to 15 we see rejection and acceptance are part of life.

The Fruitful Life

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 09:00:00 -0400

The Fruitful Life. No one wants their life to be a waste. Many may feel that there is. But here is a picture of fruitful work for God. To get to a place of fruitfulness we will work backward from working in the right field which is pointless if you don’t have the right seed to sow in that field and that’s pointless if you don’t have the right equipment. That's what we unpack from Acts chapter 16 verses 1 to 10.

Testing God is Always a Bad Idea!

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 14:00:00 -0400

Testing God is Always a Bad Idea! But when the church makes things hard for people to believe in Jesus then we are in danger of testing God's patience. Acts chapter 15 unpacks a time of division, resolution, and blessings that still flow when we keep Jesus as the main thing.
