Real Life, Personally Revealed

Real Life, Personally Revealed —that is what our current series is about. The Bible says so much about so many things. Various Bible teachers ‘prove’ just about everything quoting different texts. Sincere people disagree on what the Bible teaches. And then there are the difficult texts: the command for holy war [genocide really] in the Old Testament; sanctioned polygamy; and harsh words on homosexual behaviour. Read more

Do Not Fear

SCRIPTURE TEXT: ISAIAH 35:1-10

“Don’t be afraid.” When someone says this to you, does it serve to increase or decrease your anxiety? These are words that God speaks to his people throughout the Bible, and we find them today in Isaiah 35. Read more

What are We Waiting For?

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

Text: Isaiah 11:1-10–A Saviour who Returns to Restore

Each year at advent we share something with those who have preceded us in faith in the God of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Rebbeca—we wait. We wait for God our Saviour to appear. Those who have preceded us in faith waited for Christ to appear. He did. For over two millennia we have celebrated Christ’s advent [arrival in this world] as well as what he accomplished in his death and resurrection. But we still wait. We wait for his next advent [coming to his place as sovereign in a new heaven and new earth]. What are we waiting for? We are waiting for the peaceable kingdom described in Isaiah 11: 1-10 and pictured in the painting you see here by Edward Hicks. Read more

I Am The Way, the Truth and The Life

In this, the final sermon in the series we have called “The Seven Faces of Jesus”, we consider Jesus’ declaration: “I am the Way, the Truth, the Life”. While some take great comfort in Jesus’ words, others might wonder whether He isn’t being a tad exclusivistic when He declares himself to be the only way to the Father.

I wonder if you have noticed a progression as we have moved through our series “The Seven Faces of Jesus”. Today, we consider Jesus’ claim: “I am the Vine”. This sentence finishes with Jesus making a statement about us as well: “you are the branches”. Jesus’ claims are becoming more confrontational as the weeks have gone by. Read more

This week’s sermon begins with an interview with Tony Strachan – a British World War II veteran and German POW – as we reflect on Remembrance Day and the sacrifices made for our country.

THE SEVEN FACES OF JESUS This week we come to one of the most important “I am” statements that Jesus made. Jesus said this in the context of bringing his friend Lazarus back to life, If death and taxes are the two things we know will be part of our lives, then this reality, “I am the one who raises the dead to life!” demands our attention. We see so much of who Jesus is in this episode. Here is the story in brief starting in John 11:22: Read more

The Seven Faces of Jesus – Part 4

(November 6, 2011 – Mike Nichols)

Sermon was not recorded this week but transcript is available at the link below. Go to bottom of this introduction for link to the pdf file.

THE SEVEN FACES OF JESUS – PART 4

This week, let us pray “Father, we remember the sacrifices that were made to secure the freedoms we enjoy by countless men and women during the last 100 years.  We remember, O Lord, how different it was for them and we pray that we may be caretakers of freedom and justice worthy of their offering.

Father we hear your word—that wars and conflicts happen because of our desires for things others have. We want to repent of coveting. Give us grace to be content in this covetous culture. We pray for the leaders in the free world who must make difficult decisions about war.

Lord help us by your Spirit to live in the tension of loving our enemies and overcoming evil with good. Lord, foil the plots of those who plan terror, bring down evil, rise up against leaders who seek revenge, bring righteousness to near on nations. Bring the peace that comes from caring for others, the peace that comes when we seek you first, Make us instruments of your grace. Let your kingdom come. We pray in Christ’s name. Amen.” See full Remembrance Day prayer on the Cap website here.

Today as we look at Jesus’ statement “I am the good shepherd”. We, and the world, still need such Shepherd to guide us to life.
