Sermon series: Habakkuk--Honest to God

Our hearts long for justice to prevail in the world and in our lives. This passage shows us that we can be sure of that because the God who holds the moral universe together speaks, saves and sanctions.

Sermon series: Habakkuk -- Honest to God

Habakkuk is perplexed by God’s answer to his first complaint. In his second prayer to God, he clings to what he knows about God and seeks to clarify his doubts about what he doesn’t. He also takes an attitude of watching and waiting for God’s answer.

Sermon series: Habakkuk -- Honest to God

Much of Habakkuk consists of an honest dialogue between the prophet and God. Habakkuk 1:1-11 records Habakkuk’s first complaint and God’s first answer. Through this, we learn that we can pour out our pain to God, and that He will answer for our good, though not as we expect Him to.

Sermon series: 2 Timothy -- The Things You've Heard

In the final words of his letter to his protege Timothy, the apostle Paul mentions various names of people that he had the opportunity to serve with in ministry. Through this, we find principles and lessons for Timothy, as well as God's people, with respect to dealing with different kinds of people in ministry. Invariably, there will be people who oppose the work of Gospel ministry, but there are others who will demonstrate themselves to be faithful, whether in front-facing or back-end ministries. Yet, at the end of the day, we are called to look to Jesus Christ, the true and faithful one who will preserve us to the very end. He is our only source of hope in this life.

Sermon series: 2 Timothy -- The Things You've Heard

This passage captures the essence of Paul's letter to Timothy, which is to endure with faithfulness. This is accomplished through sitting under the preaching of sound words and demonstrated through suffering in life. At the same time, we can live with hope because of what Christ has accomplished for us in the Gospel. What awaits us is the crown of righteousness that was obtained for us by our Saviour.

Sermon series: 2 Timothy -- The Things You've Heard

The apostle Paul encourages Timothy to learn from those who live out the Word of God. These are precious friends who would help to shape the inner functions of our hearts through their godly examples. In addition, we are to learn from those who breathe the Word of God. As they had received the Word of God themselves, they are more than able to encourage us in our spiritual walk.

Sermon series: Transforming through Community

This is the third of four messages that were shared at our 2024 church retreat:

Gospel Transformation is not merely something we experience individually but something we proclaim to others and live out in community. In that proclamation of good news that we can be made a new creation there is also a call to belong to a community of those who have been transformed.

Sermon series: Transforming through Community

This is the second of four messages that were shared at our 2024 church retreat:

Ancient Hebrew wisdom compares a foolish or wicked man to chaff that is blown away and forgotten but a wise or righteous man has an eternal legacy. Redemptive history shows us that God’s people fail, time and again to be wise. The result is eternal condemnation. But ancient Hebrew prophecy pointed to the eternal wise man who rescues the foolish from their foolishness and heals them of their wickedness.

Sermon series: Transforming through Community

This is the first of four messages that were shared at our 2024 church retreat:

God’s pattern for transformation involves recovering the original trajectory of transformation that was set forth for humanity in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve, who were made in God’s image, departed from this plan through their rebellion, putting them on a course resulting in death, and God’s eternal wrath. In Christ the image of God in humanity can return to a state of reflecting God’s glory destined for eternal glory.

Sermon series: 2 Timothy -- The Things You've Heard

There's a real danger of hypocrisy in the life of the church, which is often hidden from sight. In order to combat this, we need Gospel clarity that exposes religious hypocrisy. This is achieved in the context of the church community, where the idea of believers doing life together takes place.
