Jubilee Church Wirral – Sunday messages

As Christians and as a church, our focus is to know our redeemer – Christ.

It is because of Christ that we can say to other people of different races that they are our brothers and sisters in Christ.

In Christ we can know God – and that is the best thing ever.

Keith looks into how, as worshippers of God, we also need to be on mission for God, and how we need to stop shrinking God and His power – otherwise our lives can become joyless, because joy is a fruit of the spirit. Christian joy is not external – it is internal.

If we look to other things for our joy – reputation, possessions, money – they will let us down, whereas God and the Holy Spirit never will.

Keith reminds us that Paul was in chains for Christ, and yet was able to say ‘I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.’

In this passage, Jesus questions people’s motives in pursuing Him. Are the people pursuing Jesus because He is the Son of God or because they are hungry?

Jesus has performed miracles but the disciples are still looking for proof that they can believe in Him as the Son of God. Dave compares that to how we can be like that – “last week was good, God, but this week isn’t so good. Where have you gone?”

Just as we don’t get any benefit from bread unless we eat it, we don’t get any benefit from Jesus unless we believe in Him. That’s why God tells us that we must believe, know and trust in Jesus.

We don’t have to live a perfect life to get eternal life; we just need to trust Him.

The five pillars of the reformation say you are a Christian by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to scripture alone and to the glory of Christ alone.

Those five pillars form the foundation of our faith.

Dave goes into how Jesus comes not as a king or to be served, but to serve others and to die.

He looks at the four servant songs in Isaiah, our ambition to be great and what Jesus says about that, and at how Jesus is the lamb of God.

Four servant songs in Isaiah

Isaiah 42:1-4

Isaiah 50:5-6

Isaiah 53:3-6

Our ambition to be great

Mark 10: 43-45

How Jesus came to serve

Revelation 5:6-10

It can be hard to talk to people we don’t know or who we feel we don’t have anything in common with.

It can be even harder to talk to people we don’t know – or even those that we do know – about Jesus and what he has done in our lives.

And yet that it was Jesus calls us to do. We need to be confident in sharing how he has helped us and how he can help others.

Rick looks into:

– Brokenness of unity, attempts at unity without God– Jesus’ role in making unity a reality– Unity within the Church, through the work of the Holy Spirit

Dave looks at the story of Lazarus and reminds us that Jesus has a plan; He knows what’s ahead. We can trust Him.

When we encounter God’s delays, it isn’t because He doesn’t love us.

We are all affected by death – it is a shadow upon our lives. We need to be ready and have faith as we walk into those things.

We shouldn’t accept death as something natural – it wasn’t God’s original purpose. Eternal life was. That’s why we struggle with it – because something in us rejects it.

Instead of trying to accept death as something natural, we should:

Grieve with faith and hope

Know God’s love

Accept God’s grace

Questions to consider:

1. Jesus delays leaving to see Lazarus when he hears he is ill. What delays have you experienced / are experiencing and how have you dealt with it?

2. What differences do you see in how Martha and Mary interact with Jesus after the loss of their brother? What can we learn from them?  (1 Thes 4:13-14)

3. What do we learn about Jesus from this passage? In how he responds and what he does?

4. God’s grace shown to Lazarus is like what happens to us when we get saved. How can we learn to accept God’s grace?
