Jesus Shows Us God

1.          How to put into words the miracle of the incarnation!

Do you Believe?

(Bible Reading: John 20:24-31)

An introduction to John’s Gospel:

“..that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,  and that by believing you may have life in his name.”                                                     

Thomas’ story: he needed to see, to believe…

But Jesus says you don’t have to see to believe...   (v29)

and John has given us evidence so we may believe   (v30-31)

Do you believe?

SAYINGS PEOPLE LIVE BY: “SO LONG AS YOU’RE HAPPY”

Bible Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

What do people mean?

"So long as you're happy, that's the main thing?"

What does the Bible say?

What does Jesus say about being happy?

Where does that leave us?

Don't live for short-term happiness!

Hope for the Future

Revelation 21:1 - 22:5

Preacher: Andreas Mayer

Considering CHRIST at Christmas

Matthew 1:18-25

The birth of Jesus appeared to be somewhat of a crisis … which could have ended … badly

But God was working to a bigger plan…

A plan which had been unfolding since… a long time ago

A plan for God to be with us (Immanuel)

A plan to save people from sin (Joshua)

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Considering CHRIST at Christmas

Matthew 1:1-17

A purposeful genealogy of Jesus the CHRIST (1&17)  

-      Shaped by 2 covenants (displaying God’s kindness)

-      covering 3 epochs (showing God’s faithfulness)

-      including 5 names which highlight God’  merciful sovereignty (over lives impacted by human sinfulness)

A genealogy which shows the CHRIST of Christmas as the climax of God’s plans for everything!! 

And gives HOPE for sinners like you and I

From Babel to Babble

Genesis 11:1-9

Babel shows the stubbornness and seriousness of sinful human hearts - like ours

1.⁠ ⁠New beginning..

         …same sinful humanity

2.⁠ ⁠Limitless potential... 

          …with sin in the mix...

But our merciful God can save sinful hearts

3.⁠ ⁠Pentecost to Parousia - the resolution of Babel
