Christmas – December 15, 2024

Luke 1:67-79

We all encounter evil in our lives. We can see all kinds of things in our world that are broken. We can see the brokenness in governments and in world politics. We can see it in schools and workplaces. We see it in close friendships and family, and we can even see it in our own hearts. Our world is not the way it should be.

Some people see so much brokenness that they just give up and they say there’s no point in trying because they can’t fix the problems. But as Christians I believe we have the best way to respond to brokenness.

So my big question today is: how should we respond to brokenness – the brokenness we see in the world and also in our personal life?

The answer I want to show you today is that we should respond with confidence that Jesus will make things right. Jesus will make things right in our world, and Jesus will make things right in our own personal life.

Christmas – December 8, 2024

Luke 1:5-20

Sometimes we underestimate preparation, but it can make all the difference, and that theme is fitting today as we begin a series of Christmas/Advent sermons that aims to prepare our hearts for the birth of Jesus.

So, my big question today is: how should we prepare when we inevitably face the most important moments in life?

Our Bible story will show us that we need to prepare with everyday faithfulness, and everyday faith. Today our Bible Story takes place a year and half before the birth of Jesus. And it’s about an old priest named Zechariah and the time he meets an angel.

The Sermon on the Mount – November 17, 2024

Matthew 7:13-14

Every day, we face so many different philosophies of life. A lot of them are kind of hippy-feel-good ones. Sometimes, you’ll come across quite heartless ones. But the philosophy you cling onto will make ALL the difference in life. A bad one will wreck you beyond imagination. But the right philosophy will make you into the greatest and most fulfilled version of yourself. The person God made you to be.

And our bible passage today gives us really good tools, signs that help you know you’re on the right path. And it has to do with being willing to reject and ditch the philosophies of many people around us.

Our focus today is this question:

What are some signs that show us we’re on the right track in life?

1 – The right track is narrow and rare.
2 – The right track is led by excellent role models.

The Sermon on the Mount – November 10, 2024

Matthew 5:43-48

Relationships are a huge part of life. They can be a huge source of joy, or they can be a huge source of pain. Today, our Bible passage is about the relationships that cause us pain. The big idea today is to look to God and imitate Him in our most difficult relationships.

God is a perfect father, but the knowledge of that is not enough. God wants us to emulate Him.

The Sermon on the Mount – November 3, 2024

Matthew 5:14-16; Matthew 6:1

I think it’s understandable that a lot of people hate work. And they dream of a day when they can leave their work behind and just do whatever they feel like. But I believe we’re not meant to wish away our working hours. I believe that the ordinary work that we all do can be incredibly meaningful and rewarding.

So, my big question today is: how can we get the most out of our work? The answer I want to show you today is, we can turn work into worship. Sometimes our worship needs to be public, and sometimes our worship needs to be private. But all work is about worship. And my task today is to show you these ideas from two Bible passages in the Sermon on the Mount, so that you can build your life directly on God’s words.

The Sermon on the Mount – October 27, 2024

“The Beatitudes”

Matthew 5:1-12

Today, it might seem like we live in more “civilized times” when people won’t have to die for their faith. But this doesn’t mean that it’s easy to be a Christian today. The Christian life if lived right will be marked by difficulty. It won’t be comfortable and that’s what we learn from our Bible passage today.

Our passage today is famously called the Beatitudes, it is the start of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount.

Moses: Living By Faith – October 13, 2024

Numbers 20:1-12

For many of us, life feels like one problem after another, and one obstacle after another. And we all go through challenging times.

So, my big question today is, how should we respond to the challenges of life? Our Bible story today teaches us two things. First we need to mind our stress level, and second, we need to mind the big picture.

Our Bible story comes from The Book of Numbers, Chapter 20. It’s about a time when Moses faced one of the most difficult personal challenges of his life.

Moses: Living By Faith – October 6, 2024

Exodus 33:13-34:7

We all have role models that we want to be like. But as Christians our greatest role model is God himself. And the whole Bible teaches us be like Jesus. But what does that mean do we try to walk on water and heal people. We won’t be able to do that. So what does it mean?

Can we boil down the essence of what made Jesus so great and emulate that? Thankfully, today’s Bible story is about God explaining to Moses what the very essence of his greatness is. And the story helps us to know God better but it also helps us to know what God wants us to be.

We learn two things about God in this passage:

  1. God is extremely kind
  2. God is extremely just
