God still speaks today - through His perfectly sufficient written Word. What God says satisfies our intellectual hunger, and what He says shows the Beauty of His love for His people. Truth and Beauty come together in one place: God in His Word.

    Acts 11:1-26 Ewen Lin

    Home Group questions: Peter was criticised for eating with Gentiles because it was against the Jewish law. How can we sometimes feel pressure from our fellow believers not to associate with certain people? In what ways could we be guilty of making the same judgements? How should we handle being the receiver or the giver of such criticism?Verses 19-20 say that when the Jewish Christians were scattered after the persecution, some believers spoke only to Jews, while others also went to the Greeks (Hellenists). Why are there some people whom Christians may be hesitant to evangelise? Discuss their motivation for preaching Jesus even though they knew of Stephen's death and risked persecution. Does this challenge you? Why or why not?According to verses 19-21, who were the ones doing the evangelising, and what does this teach us about the mission of all believers, not just the "specialists"? According to verse 21, why did the church grow, and how might this encourage you in evangelism?Verses 23-26 tell us that Barnabas encouraged the believers to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose (v.23). He then went to get Saul so that they could teach the church together. What does this teach us about the relationship between justification (placing our faith in Jesus) and sanctification (becoming more like Jesus)? How should this shape the way we welcome new believers, especially those with no church background, into the church? Prayer: This would be a good time to pray for our individual evangelism, for the outreach of the church, and for individuals we would like to reach with the gospel. Pray for opportunities to proclaim the gospel and for the boldness to do so.     Send us Fan Mail

    Isaiah 36

    Outline: The enemy of God’s king and His people is powerful, deceptive and arrogant.  Jesus, God’s king, displays His power by saving through weakness, humility and truth.  Home Group Questions: We read in 2 Chronicles 32 that Sennacherib invaded Judah after Hezekiah's religious reforms and faithfulness. What does this teach us about the relationship between faithfulness and ease of life? Why is it dangerous for leaders to teach, and for believers to expect, that life will be easy because of good works or religious activity? Why do you think God allows believers to suffer or experience attacks from the enemy even when they are faithfully serving him?  Judah sought help from an old enemy, Egypt, who had once enslaved and oppressed them. In what ways might believers return to the "Egypts" of their own lives? What might cause people to do so? What are some good strategies to prevent that from happening?  Rabshakeh's strategy was to make the people of Judah doubt their king's words and God's goodness. How does Satan use similar tactics today to make believers doubt God's goodness, God's Word, or God's ability to save? Which of these tactics do you find most effective in your own life?  Rabshakeh spoke with great confidence, even though he completely misunderstood God. Why can confidence be so persuasive even when it is wrong? How can Christians prepare themselves so they are not shaken when confident voices in our culture challenge the truth of God's Word?  Through Rabshakeh, God made Judah aware of their weakness. Why do you think God wanted Judah to recognise this? Judah's apparent weakness against Assyria points to the pattern later fulfilled at the cross, where God's power is displayed through weakness. Where in your own life might God be asking you to trust him in your weakness rather than looking for worldly strength or a quick way out?  Send us Fan Mail

    Luke 10:25-37 Nathan Randall (includes communion by Kevin Dean)

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan points to Jesus as the Good Samaritan who came to save the dying at great cost to himself.  * HE CAME TO US WHILE WE WERE STILL ENEMIES  * HE SEES US LYING BROKEN IN SIN AND COMES TO US IN COMPASSION  * HE BRINGS AN END TO RACISM – RECONCILING US TO GOD AND TO EACH OTHER  * HE PAYS THE PRICE FOR OUR SALVATION WITH HIS BLOOD  * HE WILL COME AGAIN TO RECEIVE US INTO ETERNAL LIFE  CONCLUSION -  * WE ARE POINTED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION - WHAT MUST I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE? * WE ARE POINTED BACK TO CHRIST HIMSELF – THE EMBODIMENT OF LOVE AND THE ANSWER TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION  * WE ARE POINTED TO THOSE IN NEED AROUND US  Send us Fan Mail

    Isaiah 33:13-16

    Outline: God’s mighty work of salvation must be proclaimed far and near. (13)  God’s judgement and salvation must be proclaimed for the conviction of sinners and the sanctification of saints. (14-15)  God’s salvation must be proclaimed for the assurance of the saints. (16)  The judgement Jesus received and the salvation he offers must be proclaimed near and far for the conviction of sinners and for the sanctification and assurance of the saints.  Send us Fan Mail

    Isaiah 33:13-16

    Isaiah 33:1-12

    Outline God is sovereign over every powerful enemy.​ (1)  The believer waits patiently, trusting God’s strength and power to save.​ (2-3)  When God exalts himself to judge some are saved others are condemned.​ (5-9)  The fullness of God’s judgement will come.​ (10-12)  When Jesus was lifted up, He took God’s judgement for us to give us salvation. Home Group questions:   Verse 1 speaks of God’s sovereignty over powerful enemies. This truth is used by some to teach that God will overcome our financial, emotional, and physical ‘enemies’. Why is it important that we are careful not to make that the focus of the text? What are the enemies of people, even believers, that we really must ask God to deliver us from, and how does this text help us in our daily struggles? (Consider Ephesians 6:10–18 and 1 Corinthians 10:12–14.)Verses 2–3 contain Isaiah’s prayer. How is it a good model for us to adopt, especially in times of uncertainty and suffering? (Note: verse 4 describes the blessing that comes to God’s people after He has acted.)Verses 5–6 end with, "The fear of the Lord is Zion's treasure." (Taking Zion to mean the dwelling place of God, which in the present age is the church of true believers) How is the fear of the Lord the treasure of His people, especially in times of uncertainty? How does the fear of the Lord bring stability, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge?Verses 7–12 speak about the fate of those who trust in salvation by their own means. How should knowing their outcome make us feel and act toward those who do not fear the Lord? How does our passage help us understand why God allows believers and unbelievers to experience the same earthly struggles?According to Isaiah 33:1–12, God’s solution to the uncertainty and struggles of life is His exaltation. Discuss how His exaltation can be both good and bad for people. How should that affect your life today?     Send us Fan Mail

    Psalm 24 Mike

    Text Outline God is worthy (the Creator) — verses 1–2 We are not worthy (the one who ascends) — verses 3–6 Jesus is worthy (the King of glory) — verses 7–10  Home group questions: 1. The Psalm says "everything is the Lord's". How can that make a difference to you in your everyday life? How can it change how you think? How you act? 2. In Acts 4:24, Peter and the church pray to the "Sovereign God." Read 24 and 25. How can you pray knowing God is Sovereign? How can you pray using Psalms that apply to your situation?  3. What areas of your life do you try to maintain sovereignty and withhold from God? How might you be blessed by giving those areas to God? 4. You are God's because he made you.  You are also his because he redeemed you. How should this encourage you? How should it challenge you? 5. How might you be blessed, and bless others by cultivating a "stewardship mentality" rather than an "ownership mentality"? 6. What are the characteristics of the one who "ascends the hill of the Lord"? How is the gospel significant to these characteristics? 7. Look at Deuteronomy 6:4. How does that famous command relate to those characteristics? 8. Read Luke 19:28-40, and Matt 21:1-11. Can you see any similarities with Ps 24? Now look at Rev 19:11-16. What stands out to you? 9. How is the fact that Jesus is the perfect High Priest, and that he can "stand in God's holy place a comfort to us? Heb 4:14-16. Send us Fan Mail
