    Serving in Jesus' name

    In this section of the gospel of Mark we see Jesus predicting his own death. Again the disciples misunderstand and even begin to argue about which one of them is the greatest. And so Jesus begins to teach them about kingdom ambition. Not an ambition for personal gain and advancement, but of service in Jesus' name.Preacher: Jono DeenickPassage:  Mark 9: 30-50 Support the show

    Sermon: When God does nothing

    How ready are you to face hard times? What can a person do to prepare for trouble in the world? In society and at home? Habakkuk explores those questions and in so doing accuses God of doing nothing. He deals with the issues of evil, God's sovereignty and our relationship with God. “How long and why?” are honest questions from someone who is prepared to “wrestle” with God. We do well to consider what honest, faithful wrestling with God looks like. We need to come to know that in the gospel God has granted salvation out of the worst evil the world has ever known.Preacher - Tony van DrimmelenPassage: Habakkuk 1: 1-17Support the show

    In the book of Psalms, we find many types of Psalms. There are hymns of praise, Psalms of lament, confidence, and thanksgiving to name a few. One of the reasons the Psalms are so cherished by the people of God is that they express the whole range of human emotion, from utter despair to jubilant celebration. No matter your situation in life you will find an inspired song that expresses the condition of your heart.  Today we will look together at Psalm 66, a Psalm of thanksgiving, as the Psalmist remembers some difficulty in times past that caused despair, from which the Lord has delivered them. The response of the psalmist is praise. We too have been delivered by God and our appropriate response is praise and thanksgiving.Preacher: Jim de WittePassage: Psalm 66 Support the show

    Following Jesus to the cross — The last supper

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 23, 2025 28:29


    As we continue our journey with Jesus to the cross, we come to this watershed moment in human history. We come to this place where what is anticipated in the Old Testament celebration of the Passover is realized here in the institution of the Lord's Supper. Here we see that Jesus himself is the true Passover Lamb. Here is a passage which does not really have practical application as the best goal, but for it to capture our hearts with a sense of wonder over our Saviour Jesus. We become participants in the story as we see ourselves as desperate sinners, in need of rescuing & in need of God's divine grace. It's why we will also celebrate this moment together as we partake of the Lord's Supper together, as commanded by Jesus. Passage: Mark 14:12-26 Preacher: Jim de Witte Support the show

    Up to Jerusalem

    What was it like for Jesus in the last week of his life? He knew that he was heading to Jerusalem to die, according to God's plan of redemption. So, what did he do? How did He act? How did He stay focused? What can we learn from Jesus? We will touch on these things over the next few weeks leading up to Easter, as we follow Jesus to the cross. We begin today with Jesus' resolute determination to lead the way into Jerusalem. He, again, told his disciples what would happen to him, and we note their response. They were astonished and afraid but really don't get it because they ask for places of power and influence. Against the disciples we can then measure our response to following Jesus.Scripture Mark 10:32-45Preacher: Jim de WitteSupport the show

    As Dylan introduced to us last week, we are in a short series where we are looking at the different parts of our Church's Mission Statement. Dylan reminded us of the call from God to love him with all our heart, mind and strength. Today we pick up the second part of the Mission Statement, ‘Loving one another'. This line in our Mission Statement is closely linked to our love of God. In his famous response to the question of which is the greatest commandment, he gives two different, but alike, commandments. The question to wrestle with today is why and how we can love one another, in response to God's love for us.Preacher: Jim de Witte Scripture Reading: John 13:34-35Support the show

    Today we look at Joseph, husband of Mary, and note that he is very much a part of the Christmas story. Matthew's gospel tells us about Joseph, a descendant of Abraham, and an honourable man. While we do not know much about him, we know that, in God's plans, he had an important role in the biblical story. We discover that Joseph must learn to align his life to God's plan, as he leads. Joseph is a man who lives in obedience to the Lord, as God revealed his plan to him. Joseph's resolve was to immediately follow the Lord's directions, as God used him to protect Mary and Jesus from Herod, and to see prophecy fulfilled. This is a truth every believer in Jesus, the Messiah, must learn. Passage: Matthew 1:18-25; 2:13-23 Preacher: Jim de Witte Support the show

    When we tell the Christmas story we generally start with the story of Jesus and his parents. But, in our lead up to Christmas, we are going to look at the story through the lives of people we typically don't think of as part of the story. Here in Luke's gospel, the biblical account of Christmas begins with Jesus's cousin John, as Luke describes the unusual circumstances leading to John's birth. So, today we will think about Zechariah and Elizabeth and their part in the Christmas story. They form the link between the revelation of God in the Old Testament and that in the New Testament. When Zechariah is finally able to speak, nothing could hold him back in praise of God and what he had done and was about to do, through his son, John and the coming Saviour. We, too, have the opportunity to share that same good news that Zechariah announce. We get to tell the gospel that brings us to faith and sends us out to witness, as we share the Christmas story.  Passage: Luke 1: 5-25; 57-80Preacher: Jim de WitteSupport the show

    In this passage we join Philip on a road through the wilderness. He is trudging on this road on a mission from God, unsure what he will find, but none-the-less faithful. He ends up running alongside a chariot of a man he'd never met before, all to share the good news of Jesus Christ with him in the middle of the desert. Here we are given the scene of a divinely ordained encounter that reminds us again that the growth of the church was a result of God opening the doors for his word. If this was the case then, it means that God is still opening doors for his word to touch people hearts and lives through us. When the door of opportunity opens for you to speak about Jesus, what is your response? Preacher: Jim de Witte Passage: Acts 8:26-40 Support the show
