Sunday Morning
The God Who Walks Alongside
Psalm 23:1-6 Let us find our security, provision, spiritual refreshment, guidance, comfort, peace and abundant blessings in God, our loving and faithful Shepherd.
The God Who Knows Me
Psalm 139 Karl explains from Psalm 139 how God knows us intimately. He knows us, surrounds us, and has made us in His image. The Psalmist proclaims ‘Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!’ (v23)
The God Who Forgives
Psalm 103:1-22 This Sunday morning, Michael entreats us to look to the goodness and mercy of God. Psalm 103 proclaims God’s abundant blessing, His compassionate heart towards sinners, and His enduring commitment to us.
Ecclesiastes 2
Ecclesiastes 2:1-26 Andrew Prince brings us the Word, preaching from Ecclesiastes Chapter 2. He explains how the book of Ecclesiastes is a book of experiments tried by the preacher, all of which he ultimately finds meaningless. We cannot find ultimate meaning in knowledge, pleasure, or building as all of these will be brought to an end by death. Only through God we can find meaning ‘Under the Sun’.
The Parable of the Talents
Matthew 25:14-30 Peter Francis delivers the message this morning, explaining that we must be faithful with the gift God has given to us, we must be faithful to the giver of the gift, and we must be faithful with all of our lives before Christ. We must remember that all that we have is a gift from God (Romans 12:1-2).
Seeing Jesus Clearly
Mark 8:22-33 In Mark’s gospel, we see that seeing Jesus clearly requires making a personal decision about who we understand Him to be. He asks His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?”. Seeing Jesus clearly also requires understanding that He suffered and offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. It is only through this sacrifice that we can take up our cross daily, put sin to death, and run the race that is set before us.
Feeding of the Four Thousand and the Leaven of the Pharisees
Mark 8:11-21 Karl brings us the Word this Sunday – describing how Jesus fed the four-thousand, and taught His disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees. Through these passages, Jesus teaches us to be aware of the permeating power of sin. In contrast to this, He displays His superabundant provision in all of life.
True Purity
Mark 7:1-13 In this Sermon, Michael exhorts us to love others and not to let tradition take the place of God’s Word in the way we live our Christian life. True purity is a matter of the heart. With a renewed heart we can produce the fruits of the Spirit outlined in Galatians 5:22-23.
The Greatest Treasure
Matthew 13:44-46 On this baptism Sunday, Michael outlines the key differences and similarities between the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl of great value. These parables describe the kingdom of heaven and the different ways that God leads His people to find it. They prompt us to search ourselves and understand the reason for the hope that is within us. Why would we choose to give up everything for Christ?
Celebrating the Path to Blessing
Joshua 6:1-18 Peter Francis shares from Joshua the major blockages to Israel receiving blessing from the Lord after the walls of Jericho fell: Self-entitlement and self-reliance. He explains that the path to blessing involves dealing with our sin and listening for God’s voice. The path to blessing is to be constantly recognising or sin and confessing it to God.
Joshua – Words that Never Fail
Joshua 18:1-10 Guest preacher Josh Lean describes the passion and zeal that we must have for the things of God as a body of believers. He outlines how the antidote to our problem of spiritual procrastination is beholding God’s goodness and receiving His kingdom. Matthew 6:33 – But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Jesus, in Old Testament Colour
Mark 6:30-56 In this sermon, Michael explores the relationship between specific events in the Old Testament, and there fulfillment in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
