The Crowded House

In this message, given by Jon Parker, we recognize that Jesus is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being. Accordingly He must be at the very center - the thing which your entire life revolves around - the object of ultimate worship. Scripture: Exodus 19, 33 and 34; Matthew 16 and 17.

In this message, given by Jon Parker, we consider the notion that it is the justice of God we should appeal to rather than just His mercy. For it is God’s justice that is restoring shalom to every aspect of creation. Jesus is the restorer of shalom and the embodiment of what shalom looks like. And He gives access to the kingdom of God to anyone who comes through Him.Scripture: Matthew 16; Romans 3.

In this message, given by Jon Parker, we recognize that we cannot approach Jesus by asserting our own rights, but must humbly accept that we come because of His mercy and can only assert our rights based upon His goodness.  Scripture: Matthew 15; Genesis 18 and 32.

In this message, given by Jon Parker, we discuss the inside-out nature of the gospel: that God, through Jesus christ, at infinite cost to Himself, has clothed us in costly garments of linen.   Scripture: Matthew 15; Zechariah 3; and Revelation 19.

In this message, given by Jon Parker, we discuss the freedom that comes with finding Jesus at the center of all Scripture.   Scripture: Matthew 15; Exodus 29 and 30.

In this message, given by Jon Parker, we acknowledge that Jesus being the bread of life means that He is our life and our strength, not just a side dish for the weekend.

Scripture: Matthew 2, 3, 11 and 14.

In this message, given by Jon Parker, we see that Jesus is the true Jonah, who was consumed by a storm and sea of God’s wrath, so that we could have peace and calm and be saved.Scripture: Matthew 8.
