What Does God Really Want For His Church? / Ephesians 3:1-21

All of us have a time limit for life. Some will live long lives, others short lives, but 100% guarantee all of us have an expiration date, a terminus, a date with death. This is a problem for all of us. No matter how much we strive, no matter our background, our skill set, our income, we all will face the inevitable perishing.
It is the context of death that Luke 24:1–12 is set. Just days earlier, Jesus of Nazareth had been killed. He was dead. Laid in a tomb. As this chapter reveals, however, history was about to change forever. Jesus defeats our great foe death. In doing so he not only reveals his power, but provides hope for all who will trust in him. Death, it will be seen, doesn’t have the last say over God’s people. This brings great hope.

He is Risen! / Luke 24:1–12

A Good Friday message from Luke 23:32-43 exploring the repeated call for Jesus to “save himself” and why he chose not to. While others mock and misunderstand, one dying criminal recognises the truth that Jesus stays on the cross not out of weakness but to save others. This sermon invites us to see our need, stop trying to save ourselves, and trust the one who refused to save himself so that we could be forgiven.

Save Yourself! / Luke 23:32-43

Jesus didn’t come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. Because he has ransomed/redeemed us in full, we are secure in him and no longer need to chase significance. That frees us to stop grasping and start serving.

The King Who Came To Serve / Mark 10:32-45

While many people approached Jesus to test him, one man came to Jesus with a sincere and heart-felt question, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ The desire to live with God in his forever kingdom is something that this man, and most people since him, have wanted clarity on. How does one enter a relationship with God? How can we know with certainty that we will live forever with God in his kingdom? Jesus answers this man, but in doing so surprises both the questioner and his own disciples.
