(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) Luke 16.1-13 Christian Giving: Generosity, Faithfulness, and Service

The Parable of the Dishonest Manager is one of the most difficult passages in the Bible: but often the simplest reading is the right one.  Jesus' teaching on worldly wealth is never easy because He pulls no punches.  Here Jesus tells us that we should be ashamed of how the world uses its wealth to seek after temporary happiness with greater skill and zeal than we do our eternal joy.  The answer given is to serve God first, above all else, through generosity and faithfulness.

(SERMON) Luke 2:8-12 "Mega Joy" comes from Jesus

People look for what "sparks joy" is all kinds of places. But the only place to find great joy⁠—MEGA JOY⁠—which can overcome all darkness, fear, and sin is in the baby born in a manger 2000 years ago: in the Saviour who is both the promised Messiah who saves us from sin and the Lord God Almighty who rules and reigns over all things.
