Jesus’ Death – The Meaning & The Memory
Most people have a rather shallow understanding of the Easter story eg. Jesus died a cruel, painful, unjust death, somehow this death takes away sin etc. But what does it actually mean? In this passage Jesus tells us himself. We see how His death was the fulfilment of the Old Testament as He personally became the full and final Passover sacrifice, the author of a completely new covenant between God and man, and the suffering, servant Messiah promised 700 years earlier by the prophet Isaiah. Because of this it is now possible to be forgiven and to know God personally. If you’re a Christian, that’s worth celebrating! If you’re not, why don’t you put your faith in Jesus today?
Hated by Association
Unlike some of the other teachers of his day, Jesus was less interested in the number of followers he had, and was more interested in the heart of his followers. Jesus told his followers to count the cost of following him (Lk 14:25-35) and here in Johns 15 and 16 teaches that his followers would be hated, persecuted, even killed. Listen as Pastor Dave looks at why Jesus followers will be hated because of their association with Jesus.
Be Ready
Jesus, will one day come on the clouds in power and glory to judge the world and redeem his people. Tonight’s passage challenges us to ask ourselves whether we are ready for this day. If he could come tomorrow, how should we be living now?
The Fruit-Bearing Life
Jesus had a unique way of describing profound ideas in very simple terms, and that’s what we see in today’s passage. Using the common grapevine as a teaching aid, He explained how His disciples were to live, grow and flourish in the years ahead. Even in His physical absence from them, they were to ‘remain’ close to Him and obey His teachings. At times they would be undergo ‘pruning’ by God. But the object was always that their lives would bear fruit …much fruit …even more fruit … fruit that will last. As we stay close to Jesus, the Holy Spirit produces this fruit in our lives in many different ways e.g.. Christlike character, deeds of love, and faithful gospel witness. Is this a picture of your life?
The King Responds
Listen as Pastor Dave continues our series in Luke’s gospel, this time looking at the King’s response to those who questioned him.
The Invisible Friend
For many Christians the topic of the Holy Spirit is either mysterious or controversial. Some even avoid it altogether. But Jesus saw the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as an indispensable provision for His disciples (then and now) during the period between His first and second comings. Jesus Himself would continue to be with them in the person of the Holy Spirit……. invisible, yet absolutely real. In today’s message Pastor Murray takes us through some of the valuable blessings that come from the presence of the Holy Spirit, who actually lives inside every genuine believer in Jesus Christ. Does He make a difference in your life?
Dave Birch: Love Your Enemies
Rosalie Baptist Intern Dave Birch shares with us about loving others.
Finding Hope In The Real Jesus
So what do you believe about Jesus? And how seriously should we take Him? There has always been an element of mystery about Jesus, and even after three years with Him the disciples were still confused. But on this final night before being crucified, Jesus took the opportunity to explain once and for all who he really was. Still today the vital question remains: who is the real Jesus? Ultimately, how we answer that question will determine where we spend eternity. Jesus made the claim that night that: “no one comes to the Father (i.e.. God) except through me”. Do you want to spend eternity with God? Then ONLY JESUS can make that possible! You must give Him your life today.
Authority of the King
Listen as Pastor Dave shares about what we can learn about the authority of Jesus in Luke 20.
Jesus In Control
In a world where so often things happen in a random, even chaotic way, it is common to ask: Is anyone in control? But is life random? Do bad things just happen? In today’s message we take a closer look at how Jesus faced up to the looming prospect of being betrayed and denied by two of His closest friends. Yes, these things did happen, and they were low and vicious acts, but they didn’t take Jesus by surprise. He was Lord over the events of that night before going to the cross, and He is still Lord over the circumstances of our lives today. Nothing Judas, Pater or Satan did could derail God’s purposes, and the death and resurrection of Jesus proved that. When Jesus is Lord of our lives He uses even seeming tragedies to achieve His good purposes. He’s in full control!
