Sermon series: Hearing the Saviour

Jesus heals a man with leprosy. Leprosy meant that the man would have been socially, emotionally and personally isolated from others because he was unclean. To heal him meant that Jesus was also restoring him into a relationship with God and God’s people. This is what we all need.

When Jesus calls his first followers, Simon, James and John, he demonstrates his power and purity through the things he knows. He shows them their sinfulness and they are terrified. But he shows great grace is allaying their fears and calling them to become ‘fishers of people’.

As Jesus begins His ministry in Capernaum, Luke's emphasis turns from the content of the Messiah's message to what He did. As He preached the good news of the kingdom, Jesus healed the afflicted and exorcised demons as a demonstration of His power. All of these served to authenticate the kingdom message that Jesus came to proclaim.

After overcoming the Devil's temptations, Jesus Christ began His earthly ministry in Galilee, where the focus is on portraying Him as a preacher, healer, and prophet. As Jesus ministered in the synagogue in Nazareth, He announced that He was the Spirit-anointed Messiah who came to proclaim the forgiveness of sins and liberate the poor and oppressed. Those who recognise their poverty and trust solely in the Messiah will find a place for them in God's glorious kingdom.

The author of the letter to the Hebrews exhorts and encourages the church to persevere in the spiritual race set before us. In order to run this race well, we need to fix our gaze on Christ, build fortitude through our life experiences, and encourage one another to be faithful in the church. This enables us to face new challenges ahead, even if they remain uncertain to us.

Oftentimes, when things look bleak we gain comfort and strength from reminding ourselves of some basic and unchangeable facts. Christmas reminds us that God is real, salvation is by grace, and love can last forever. This is the comfort and strength that God offers all who embrace Christ.

Psalm 121 is a song of trust, similar to Psalms 23, 46, and 91, distinguished by their theme of confidence in God. As one commentator puts it, ‘This psalm affirms that those who are in relationship with the Lord are safe in his care. Their mountains may be great, but their Maker is greater. Their problems may be overwhelming, but his protection is ever available. Their hurts are inevitable, but his help is inexhaustible.’

Romans 1-11 culminates in this hymn of praise to God for his infinite wisdom and generosity. God is wiser and more generous than we can imagine. Resting in God, and taking his invitation to find ourselves in His story, we find our highest joy as we seek his greatest glory.

Sermon series: God's Good Plan

This passage presents the climax of the apostle Paul's argument which he has been building for 3 chapters. The doors of salvation are still open to Israel, and it shows in God's pursuit of them. This reality is rooted in God's Word, which shows forth His character as a faithful God. In light of His undeserved mercy to both Jews and Gentiles, we are called to respond with gratitude to this very God.

The stumbling of Israel was never intended to be total nor final. Rather, it was meant to facilitate the proclamation of the Gospel to the Gentiles. In turn, this would invoke jealousy within Israel so that they may desire the same salvation extended to the Gentiles. Salvation is by grace alone, whether for Jew or Gentile. Apart from reconciliation with God, salvation breaks down the wall of hostility between Jews and Gentiles.
