Have I Committed "The Unforgiveable Sin"? 24:44

16d ago24:44

24:44

Our passage today (Mark 3:20-35) answers the question: Who is Jesus? As people start to question whether the power he was demonstrating came from God or the forces of evil… And it’s not just the jealous Pharisees that were asking these questions, even Jesus’ own family had begun to question his sanity. Jesus teaches that He is not a servant of the …

Was Jesus the First Punk-Rocker? 30:10

23d ago30:10

30:10

In this episode we continue through the book of Mark, chapter 2:13-3:19. Our passage opens with the calling of Levi (Matthew) – a tax collector, a despised, unclean, traitor. Jesus then proceeds to (appear to) break one of the 10 Commandments by ignoring the mandate to fast and do no work (he heals a man with a withered hand). He then calls the rem…

Getting Our Hands Dirty 29:00

1M ago29:00

29:00

In this episode we conclude Chapter 1 of Mark and move to Chapter 2. We see Jesus continue to assert his spiritual authority through his healing ministry. We see that in cases where Jesus heals there is most often an approach, petition & response, healing & instruction. In the case of the healing of the leper, a social and religious outcast approac…

Who has the Authority? 18:29

1M ago18:29

18:29

In this episode we are joined by Clarke Scheibe, who takes us through Mark 1:21-39 and how Jesus' authority was undeniable, yet brought conflict. We are challenged with questions regarding our faithfulness and if we are declaring the full authority of Jesus in our lives, even if it means we will also experience conflict.

He Will Transform Us to Fish People 22:15

1M ago22:15

22:15

As we continue in Chapter 1 of Mark, we see Jesus’ next step in his ministry was calling his followers. And we see that the disciples do not choose Jesus, he chooses and calls them -we are called by grace. The disciples leave everything behind (their careers and even their family) to answer this call- we follow by faith. Jesus gives them a new purp…

Why Do I Need the Gospel? 27:57

2M ago27:57

27:57

As we get set to start a series journey through the Gospel according to Mark in its entirety, we simply ask ourselves the question: What is the Gospel? What is the point? Why do I need to hear this again? Why does this matter to the world today? We will again recognize that even though we live in a culture that considers itself though self righteou…

Is It a Humblebrag? 26:40

4M ago26:40

26:40

In response to challenges to his leadership, Paul feels compelled to reestablish the church in Corinth’s trust in him. Because his opponents were going about boasting about their spiritual experiences and visions, Paul is also forced to verify his credentials by “boasting” about his own visions and revelations. However, he is able to outdo his oppo…

In this episode we continue to reflect on how believing in the name of Jesus, loving our brothers and sisters, and living morally upright lives is not possible without the Spirit of God living in us.

What Does the Resurrection Mean? 23:47

7M ago23:47

23:47

Over the last couple of years at our Easter services, the message has focussed on how we celebrate that the gospel accounts of the resurrection are not theological lessons about the meaning of the resurrection, they are an account of the details of what happened that day. That the gospels don’t tell us what it means, they just tell us that it happe…

Nice Guys Finish Last? The Humble King 27:00

Out with the Old and in with the New! 24:47

In this episode we will look at how, through the prophet Jeremiah, God promised his people in exile a new covenant - a next step in their relationship with Him.

In this episode we look at how, at the moment of Jesus' immaculate conception, the divine nature of the one eternal Person of the Son was united to our human nature. Therefore, Jesus Christ is fully and truly both divine and human, but without sin. His two natures are united without division, separation, mixture or change. This means that all Jesus…
