Living With a Dangerous God

Both the Philistines and the Israelites experience the dangerous presence of God. The Ark of God seems to leave a trail of destruction behind it as it is passed from city to city, and then from Philistines back to the Israelites.
 
In this talk we see how God can be a dangerous presence to both religious and non-religious people. Whether it is the superstition and ignorance of the non-religious, or the disrespect and disobedience of religious types, both can fall under the 'heavy hand' of God.
 
We are forced to ask, 'Who then can be saved?' Only by the gospel of Jesus do we have any hope. In the gospel, God sends help across the divide, covering us in the righteousness of Christ, so we can live with a holy God.

3 Keys You Need to Unlock the Treasure of Easter

We join two travellers on the road home from Jerusalem, discussing the events of that momentous weekend - the death of Jesus of Nazareth, and the early reports that his tomb was empty.
 
Jesus walked with them incognito, and drew them deeper into the Good News. During their time with Jesus, the travellers were presented with three keys to unlocking the treasure of Easter.
 
Understand Jesus
Believe Jesus
Changed by Jesus
 
These same keys are available us today; if we use them, we unlock the treasury of Easter and can attain all that Jesus promised at the start of his ministry (Luke 4:18-19).

Palm Sunday: Expectation and Disappointment

At the official entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem on what would be his final trip, we see the crowds stirred up with untold enthusiasm.
 
However following quickly on is their collective disappointment that Jesus did not kick start the revolution they had been hoping for.
 
In this sermon we examine the expectations and disappointments we can have towards Jesus; finishing on an unexpected surprise about his true mission and power expressed through the cross.

Two Blockages to Receiving God's Blessing

Who doesn't want to receive blessing from God? His power? His gifts? Most people would say yes to all these things. But did you know you can block blessing from God?
 
This sermon examines two blockages to receiving God's blessing:
Superstition
Resistance
 
We end by seeing how Jesus restores the flow of God's blessing to us through the gospel.
