Advent 2020 || Anticipation of the Messiah
Matt takes us through the Old Testament as we look through the anticipation of the coming Messiah.
Exodus #22 || End of Exodus
Like with the Israelites, God pursues a relationship with you.
Matt invites us to place the things inhibiting this relationship at the foot of the cross.
Exodus #19 || The Golden Calf
We look at the differences between Moses and Aaron and the importance of a rich internal worship life.
Exodus #18 || Idols
Exodus 32
Only the one true God who redeems us is worthy of our worship.
Exodus #16 || Tools for Understanding the Law
Exodus 21-24
What does the Mosaic Law teach me about God’s justice and holiness?
What does this teach me about God’s mercy and kindness?
What does this teach me about how I should love my neighbour?
How does this help me walk in a way which is upright?
What don’t I like about this? Why?
What assumptions am I making that this confronts?
How does this call me to live differently?
How does this make me grateful for Jesus?
Thrive - Ambassadors for Christ (Matthew 5:14-16)
As the final message in our Thrive series, Pastor Matt asks the question - how do we thrive in our role as ambassadors for Christ?
Thrive - Confession || 1 John 1:5-10
“Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” Psalm 32:1
In this message, Ps Matt reminds us of the freedom we receive through confession, not only to our Heavenly Father who redeems and saves through grace but also to our brothers and sisters in Christ who uplift us through encouragement and prayer.
Thrive - Preaching || Romans 10:13-17
Recommended Read: Listen Up! - Christopher Ash
What makes preaching worth our while?
Pastor Matt talks on how preaching is a really important part of our lives together as we listen to sermons every Sunday. That preaching is a thing that is under fire from both within the church and outside of it, and preaching requires something of YOU.
Thrive - Fellowship || 1 John 4:7-11
Reviewing 52 One Another's in the bible.
Love one another; Greet one another; Serve/Care for one another; Reconcile with/Forgive one another; Encourage one another; 2nd Drawer down one another.
Exodus #10 || Marking the Moment with Praise
The song of Moses.
Having been rescued from slavery, and miraculously delivered from the hands of the Egyptian army through the Red Sea, Moses stops to mark the moment with praise.
Let's not forget to stop in our lives to mark the moment of God's deliverance with praise.
Exodus 15:1-21
Exodus #8 || The Passover
The showdown of kings culminates in the tenth and final plague - the death of the firstborn. But God was also providing a way to be sheltered from that plague, through the sacrifice of a lamb, the angel of death would pass over the house.
Today, Jesus is our passover lamb, who shelters any who come to Him by His blood.
Exodus 12-13
Exodus #6 || Making Bricks Without Straw
What happens when things get worse before they get better? This is exactly what happens as Moses follows God’s instructions to confront Pharaoh. It is also what often happens when we are obedient to God’s call on our life. How will we respond?
Exodus 4:18-6:13
Exodus #5 || The God who Calls
God has heard the cries of the people suffering, and calls Moses to go with His power and in His name.
