This is a remembrance of the way we used to gather.

The last call is our last sermon before Lockdown.

Gal 1: 1-5 The centrality of teh finished work of the Christ

Gal 2:15-21 We all have a past and an ethnicity

We are called because we called on the name, let’s finish what we’ve started.

Pauls plea to the Galatian churches to stay the course.

The worship is a reflection of our people, using photos they had submitted wnd some video clips from our welcome to Grace video to the songs:

We come alive in the river, Uthando – Come Holy Spirit-Where you belong –

 

Darkness into light

Welcome by Brandon and Lynne: Jesus walks on the water

Revelation Song: by Vaughan

Dealing with blindspots in the Faith in the context of second Temple worship and systems.

Paul’s journey from Destroyer and persecutor to Proclaimer of the Faith.

The impact of Stephen’s execution on Paul’s message.

The Jerusalem churches focus compared to the church in Antioch.

How our cultural and spiritual history affects our view of others and,

Ultimately how the Lord always took relationship over temple worship.

The sermon: The Power of His Seed

Matthew 13 from the parables of the Kingdom

We learn that:

We journey into Kingdom life:

From hard hearts, to wavering, followed by receptive and finally confident believing hearts.

WE grow from receiving the seed of the Word to becoming the seed. We get sown and scattered into the world where we become kingdom embassadors.

We add to the expansion of our house by becoming children of the King.

Our hope is for this age and the age to come, and we pray; “Come Lord Jesus!”

The Way of Truth

Get some emblems ready and follow,

Brandon’s last reflection on the Lord’s table .

We sing the New Grace song: Where I belong

Before we Look at TRUTH.

Jesus is the Way, the truth and the Life

But Just like Pilate, the worlds asks, “what is Truth?”

We survey a few scriptures and attempt to give a Bible picture of truth.

Is it based on facts?

Is it a body of Scientific evidence?

Or is there another perspective.

We have a look at the Greek influence on the biblical understanding and make our way to the Figures of

David and Jonathan who gives us the first glimpse into the type of:

A belt of truth.

Truth reveals through the torn curtain,

That God is accessible through Jesus.

 

Beyond the Empty Tomb

We have a quick survey of the Tensions in Jerusalem at the Time of Jesus’s trial.

WE consider, the occupation, the tension, political climate and general atmosphere at the time of the passover that year.

We look at the role players and weigh their historical influence of the events of that week.

Since much time has passed and many historical facts are lost in translation, piece together the outcome of the ‘çourt case’ and consider how it impacted the leaders of the temple as well as the followers of Jesus.

How is it possible that such an influencial Rabbi could be found guilty of a Capital offence?

Would they come after his followers and where could they go?

Who took the body of Jesus?

Oh my, could it be?

Count the Cost

What is a single life Worth.

What will it take to save that Life.

Are we willing to pay the price,

Sowing or going to the other side.

Will we be willing to confront the opposition of our message.

 

There is no resurrection

A brief look at 1 Corinthians 15.

The idea that some parts of scripture are cessational against the very real threat of complicating simple truths.

We look at the application of resurrection power in an already-not yet tension so that the Gace of God can be seen for what it’s meant to be.

The Pauline view of the church’s beliefs are looked at for our daily application to the issues we face.

with Craig Kube

Isaiah 42

The Servant Song

Presenting the case that it was given to Israel to prepare them for what was to come:

A time was coming where the Lord was going to introduce a New thing, former things would be wrapped up in it.

It was to be a fullfilment of the old and an ushering in of the new.

Jesus announced that it was fullfilled in the reading when He announced himself publicly for the first time, and it was witnessed by John the baptiser that the Father and Holy Spirit confirmed Jesus at his baptism.
