Week 7 of the Book of Daniel / Week 1 of Spiritual Warfare

Angels? Demons? Lower case 'g' gods? Most Christians have a fairly flat spiritual worldview which accounts for God, but often doesn't know what to do with the Bible's talk of other spirit beings. This sermon will take a deep dive into the Bible's teaching on the 'heavenly court' and how we can think of these things as modern Christians today.

Week 6 of the Book of Daniel.

Could it be that after many decades of church decline, restoration might finally be on the horizon? If we're beginning to see signs of restoration, how do we respond to that? This was the situation Daniel was in, and it provoked him to a very honest conversation with God, unfiltered repentance.

Week 5 of the Book of Daniel.

The apocalyptic bits of the bible like Daniel 7 can be tricky to understand, but there are two rules which can help us interpret these strange passages. We'll learn that evil beasts are found in every age, but we can we look forward to a different kind of kingdom, with a heavenly human as king.

Week 4 of the Book of Daniel.

Despite political turmoil and cultural challenges, Daniel's steadfast devotion to God serves as a powerful example for us today.

Week 3 of The Book of Daniel.

What does God have to do with elections? What about royal coronations? What about your own personal history & future? We can't help but ask these questions as we read through the book of Daniel, especially in Daniel 5 as God brings the reign of a Babylonian King to an end. What is God's 'writing on the wall' for your life?

Week 2 of The Book of Daniel.

In every age, there are external forces working to make us apathetic to the will of God. In order for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to withstand Nebuchadnezzar's pressure, it required a tremendous trust in a God who is able to save.

Week 1 of The Book of Daniel.

After providing some contextual background to the book, this sermon explores some profound truths about prayer that Daniel and his friends lean on in their hour of need. We learn that it's not just wise to pray; we pray to become wise.

After a fast start to the book of Mark, Jesus' response to the stormy sea invites us to receive his gift of peace even in tumultuous and uncertain times.

Week 2 of the series Gospel Fluency.

2 Corinthians 8 is a case study for Gospel Fluency, as Paul shows us how to apply the Gospel with precision. We learn that it's possible to abound in joy and generosity in the most impossible situations, by learning to:

1. Perceive the underlying love or desire that is driving the thought or behaviour.

2. Discern the aspect of the Gospel that fulfils (or reframes) that particular love or desire.

3. Meditate that part of God’s grace into your heart.

Week 1 of the series Gospel Fluency.

In Ephesians 4, we see that Jesus doesn't just want his body to have a number of disconnected bones, but also overlapping ligaments, so that we add stability and strength to one another. Paul tells us that this strengthening and maturity happens when we learn to speak the truth in love. The truth that is found in Jesus.
