(SERMON) Luke 24:36-53 The Key to Unlocking the Scriptures

 At the end of Luke's Gospel Jesus opens the mind of the disciples to understand the Scriptures.  Unless we too grasp this 5-point key to unlocking the Bible we won't understand it either.  To understand the Bible we need to recognise that all of the Bible is about:

1.) The Messiah

2.) Who dies and rises

3.) That we might be forgiven through repentance

4.) That this message is universal in scope

5.) That we are to spread this message to the nations in the power of the Spirit.


When we see these truths on every page of Scripture we will worship the Lord with great, great, joy.

(SERMON) Isaiah 41:1-20 Overcoming the Enemy

 In Isaiah 41.1-20 we learn how to face our enemies, whatever they may be.  It starts with silence and then seeing that God is in control of all things.  Then we must reject the ways of the world in seeking to survive by our own strength and instead trust in the strength of the Lord who calls us His own.  When we place our trust in Him we become the very thing which crushes the enemy and new life awaits.

This prophecy was fulfilled in the life of Jesus--and if it was true for Him facing the greatest enemies of all (our sin and sentence of death) then it is true for us His people.
