2 Aug 2010A few Sundays ago, we looked at John 6:41-60, a passage where Jesus designates a profound but simple metaphor to himself. In this passage, Jesus starts by describing himself as the life-giving bread and then reveals the costly ‘ingredients’ of the feast he provides.
1) Jesus: the life-giving bread
It’s amazing how specials meals can be. It [...]

7 Jul 2010A few Sundays ago, we addressed John 6:22-40; a passage that highlights different reactions people have towards Jesus when he walked on earth.
It is profoundly insightful to the human heart in looking at this passage since it is not merely in the 1st century that people reacted to Jesus differently, but also today. People [...]

4 Jul 2010The Main idea of John 6:1-21 – Jesus is Yahweh who carries out the second exodus
A few sundays ago we explored John 6:1-21 and explored the two miracles that occur:
- Jesus distributes five barley loaves and two fish to five thousand people

21 May 2010Main idea – Psalm 8
Last Sunday, we looked at Psalm 8, a Psalm penned by King David nearly one thousand years before Jesus of Nazareth walked the earth. The Psalm observes the majestic nature of the Lord, the God who created the heavens and the earth, and gives careful attention the role of humans in [...]

19 May 2010Main idea – God with us
A few Sundays ago we finished Exodus by looking at climatic moment where the God of universe made His dwelling with Israel, his covenant people in Exodus 34. In a sense, Exodus is a picture of how God operates in the whole bible, that is, Exodus provides the narrative framework [...]

It not only seals them together but defines how that relationship will unfold. When we make a marriage vow to honor and protect, it effects our relationship with one another (for the better [...]

16 Apr 2010The Main Idea: The Main idea of Christianity – Good Friday

4 Apr 2010The Main Idea – the Holy God – Exodus 19-20:1-3
Last Sunday, we explored the ‘Holy God’ from Exodus 19. We saw that this chapter accounts for God’s dealings with the nation of Israel after God rescued them from slavery in Egypt.
It seems that for most, holiness is almost a joke. It is [...]

29 Mar 2010The Reliable God.
This week in the sermon we looked at one of the most famous events in biblical history, the crossing of the Red Sea. In chapter 14 the people of Israel are trapped with their backs against the Red Sea and the invincible Egyptian army close on their heels. The people despair and many [...]

15 Mar 2010The Main Idea of Exodus 12 – the Saving God
Last week we considered the idea of the Judging God. Without having this truth firmly in our minds, we will fail to grasp the wonder and joy of the truth that the Judging God is also the Saving God. The word ‘salvation’ has lost its flavour. [...]
