Who Is This Christ - Part 2
We live in a world of darkness. Sin has destroyed what God once created for beauty. But Jesus Christ is the Light and Life of this world. In the 2nd of 3 messages on Prologue to John's Gospel, we look at just Who Jesus Christ is and why it matters to us in the 21st Century.

Lay Down Your Arms

Ehud the Judge
The book of Judges is characterised by a common cycle in Israel of rebellion, retribution, rescue and repentence, followed by a return to rebellion and the repetition of the cycle. Each time the nation rebels, God sends a 'judge' to be their rescuer. Each of the judges is an unlikely figure and each method of rescue equally unlikely. Perhaps this points to the ultimately unlikely figure of Jesus as the servant King, and the ultimate rescue in the form of apparent failure on the Cross. God's ways are not our ways, and He chooses methods that seem to our human eyes to be folly. But God is sovereign and knows better than any of us what He is doing! Here's the test we should apply: Which way is my life moving - towards Jesus, or away from Him?

You're Fired!
Apostle Peter's life was filled with ups and downs. He did many great things, but he failed in big ways, too. Now, his life serves as an example to us of failure, forgiveness, and restoration. Today, I'll talk about what to do when you realize that you have done something very wrong. And, I'll share some things we can do to avoid personal, moral failure, or sin, as it is also known.

Compelling Generosity
The earliest Christians were marked by compelling generosity. They embodied generosity having seen that pattern in their Lord.

Compelling Joy
The earliest Christians were a people of compelling joy. Their joy was rooted in remembrance of what God had accomplished for them in Jesus Christ, and expectation of what He would do in bringing about the renewal of all creation in Christ. The emphasis in the New Testament book, The Acts of the Apostles, is on joy being rooted in our experience of what God is actually doing among us now to heal and restore this broken world.

Ezekiel: The Hope & Hypocrisy of the Church (Ezekiel 36:22-32)
If the contemporary church is so littered with inconsistency & hypocrisy, why should it even exist at all? Why should anyone be a part of it? In this sermon, we’ll see why God’s passion to clean house must begin with his own people.

True Fellowship involves Judging each other
What is fellowship? Much more than attending a meeting and getting preached at -or even sharing a meal afterwards- true, Biblical fellowship is a mutual commitment between members of the brotherhood/ekklesia/church, that they will keep one another true to the Way, that they will judge one another and ensure that those who are in the brotherhood truly do represent 'the faith once delivered to the saints' (Jude 3). It is in this context that 'the blood of Yeshu`/Jesus cleanses us from sin."

Saying Yes, When God Says Yes
When "no" puts Jonah at odds with God, God does what it takes to make Jonah say "yes." It's not the path he wants to walk, but he goes to Ninevah and proclaims God's words.

Jonah 2 : It's Time to Get Real
Jonah's prayer here is often viewed as evidence that Jonah experienced a change of heart and repented of his disobedience. But I am going to challenge this view: I do not believe Jonah “repented” of those things that led him to flee to Tarshish for his attitude at the end of ch. 4 remained the same. That which led him to run away from the Lord in the first place still has a grip on his heart. I am not saying Jonah did not acknowledge any wrongdoing – I am only saying there is a big difference between acknowledging and repenting and this prayer helps us understand that difference.

Getting People to Take Their Medicine
It has been said that the church is to be a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. If the church is a hospital, what kind of medicine does it offer and how can it persuade patients to take it? Just as in every area of life, Jesus is our example here. He excelled in getting people to hear and accept what God had to say to them. He led many people to complete change and healing. What was his secret weapon? Key Verses: Lk 5:27-32, Matt 28:18, Lk 7:36-39, Matt 19:16-22, Eph 2:8-12, John 16:7-14, Lk 19:1ff, 1John 4:8

The Community of the Spirit
The community of the Spirit is the community of the cross. Sin is not fatal or scandalous because restoration is possible, and the members take responsibility for self and one another. We then live by the Spirt not mocking God with self-indulgence or growing weary of self-righteousness. And our passion is not cross avoidance and impressing people but glorying in the wonders of the cross and our subsequent new cretaion.

Run, Christian, Run
The life of faith is compared to running a marathon. To continue to run we must get rid of all that hinders, sin that entangles and keep our eyes focused on Jesus. Jesus is our supreme example of what it means to live by faith, but also the One who ran the race to win the grace needed for us to run.

King Saul & Gospel Repentance
Repentance is not a decision of the will to do right instead of wrong. It’s an internal shift in our perceived source of life. Ultimately repentance is a humble broken return to God, there’s a catch. We are utterly unable to do it. Repentance is not something we can decide to do and then do it, it’s something God works in us.

Analyzing Authenticity (Romans 2:17-29)
Paul challenges his readers not to base our confidence before God in our religious pedigree, family history, bible knowledge, Christian education, or any other experience or practice. There are many good things we ought to pursue, but there is a danger in craving man's approval rather than God's, and none of these things will secure our standing before God. Our only hope is the gospel, pleading for mercy rather than justice, and trusting in Christ's dying for sinners. Once we have trusted, we are freed to do good works rightly -- not so that we can be saved, but out of love and gratitude, as an overflow of our changed hearts. The essence of a true Christian is a changed heart.

Big Brother: In the Family Business
When Jesus was criticized for spending time with "unsavory characters" He responded with three parables -- demonstrating that God seeks out the lost, the lost are highly valued by Him, and that their return brings celebration. This has crucial implications for both those who are far from God and those who are comfortably within his family. . .
