Speaker - Dan King


Dan warns that we are all vulnerable to the sin that Jesus called "the leaven (yeast) of the Pharisees" - hypocrisy. He explains that we are seen in our entirety by God, and any hypocrisy in our lives is, of course, obvious to Him. But we are not to regard being seen by Him to be condemning, but rather that, out of His deep love for us, He wants us to be aware of this sneaky shortcoming.



-------

Luke 12v1-3

1) In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2) Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 3) Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.



Genesis 16v7-14

7) The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. 8) And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered. 9) Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” 

10) The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.” 11) The angel of the Lord also said to her: “You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael (which means God hears), for the Lord has heard of your misery. 12) He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” 

13) She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” 14) That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi (which means well of the Living One who sees me).


John 4v13-26

13)  Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14)  but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’

15)  The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.’

16)  He told her, ‘Go, call your husband and come back.’

17)  ‘I have no husband,’ she replied.

Jesus said to her, ‘You are right when you say you have no husband. 18)  The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.’

19)  ‘Sir,’ the woman said, ‘I can see that you are a prophet. 20)  Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.’

21)  ‘Woman,’ Jesus replied, ‘believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22)  You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23)  Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. 24)  God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’

25)  The woman said, ‘I know that Messiah’ (called Christ) ‘is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.’

26)  Then Jesus declared, ‘I, the one speaking to you – I am he.’

Matthew 19:10-12

10) Jesus’ disciples then said to him, “If this is the case, it is better not to marry!”

11) “Not everyone can accept this statement,” Jesus said. “Only those whom God helps. 12) Some are born as eunuchs, some have been made eunuchs by others, and some choose not to marry for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

Ephesians 5:21-31

Instructions for Christian Households

21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Saviour. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of His body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”

1 Corinthians 6:12-18

Sexual Immorality

12) “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13) You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14) By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 15) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16) Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” 17) But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

18) Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body.

Speaker - Alice Meads



In the second message of our "Discipleship and Our Sexual Formation" series, Alice unpicks what it looks like to Live Like Jesus in a culture which presents sexual behaviour in a way which is at odds with what the Bible has to say.

1 Peter 2:9-12



9) But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

10) “Once you had no identity as a people;    now you are God’s people.Once you received no mercy;    now you have received God’s mercy.”

11) Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls. 12) Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbours. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honourable behaviour, and they will give honour to God when he judges the world.

Speaker - James Rankine

James opens a new six-part series called Live Like Jesus: Discipleship and Our Sexual Formation. This series will cover a lot of ground, including marriage, singleness, how our current culture views sex, sexuality and relationships, and what the Bible has to say about all of this, and how we are to navigate this as followers of Jesus.

1 Corinthians 6:19

19) Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own; 20) you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your bodies.

Galatians 5:16-17

16) So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17) For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

Ephesians 5:8-10

8) For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9) (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10) and find out what pleases the Lord.
