Village Church Annandale (Sydney) sermons

An encouragement today for Christians to remain in Jesus having strong confidence of his return rejoicing at the privilege of being the children of God.

We are often tempted to love the things of the world and listen to the lies of the antichrists. In today's passage, John warns his readers against the dangers of these spiritual threats and urges them to remain in Christ because they have all that they need: the truth and the Spirit.

A mistake you could make when thinking about the crucifixion of Jesus, is to think that Jesus was somehow a victim.

But this is far from the case. Even though Judas, Peter, the crowds and disciples all fail him, we see Jesus spectacularly in control and acting to fulfil scripture.

However, there’s a lesson for us from each of the disciple’s actions.

Today we are on Holy Ground as we eavesdrop on a private conversation between God the Father and God the Son as they discuss the plan to save the world. Dominic Steele takes us to Matthew 26:36-44 and the Garden of Gethsemane and there are lessons about the nature of the godhead, the relations between members of the trinity, Forgiveness, Salvation. Fatherhood and even submission.
