Emmanuel
From Eden to Eternity God has always wanted to be with us as His people. He has made this possible through his redemptive plan to bring heaven and earth together ultimately in the work of His son, Jesus – our Emmanuel.

Walking through suffering with hope
Although we have a wonderful salvation and so much blessing from God we still face suffering in this age. How do we walk through this life in the midst of difficulty, pain and distress as a Christian? The passage we are considering today provides us with a pathway and finishes with an exuberant flourish.

Led by the Spirit (Children of God)
Our new identity of being in the Spirit rather than being in the flesh empowers us to live God’s way. Paul makes clear that having the Spirit living inside of us is the hallmark of the Christian. It is this indwelling of the Holy Spirit which leads to the discussion of adoption because he is the Spirit of adoption.

How do I engage in this election?
We live turbulent times as a nation. Politically things seem very unstable with growing division and mistrust. As Christians how do we navigate our way in this election season? What should shape our attitudes and actions at this time?

Living Life in the Spirit
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. But those in Christ Jesus, now have the empowering of the spirit to fulfil the law in a way that was once not possible in the flesh. Although we may not be ‘sinless’, we will certainly ‘sin less’ as we grow in the likeness of Christ and wage war on the flesh.

The Law
The Law (Old Testament Ten Commandments etc) was never meant to save us. It does reveal something of God’s holiness, it also shows us that we can never earn our way to God. We can never be good enough! Sin has polluted us and we just cannot do it on our own. As we understand the Law it reveals our desperate need of someone to save us, it gets us looking away from ourselves and towards God.

Belonging to Jesus
As Christians we live under grace which means that because of Jesus we are totally loved and accepted by God. We no longer need to be bound up by religious rule keeping but are empowered by the Spirit to live lives that bear fruit and glorify God.

Whose slave are you?
Slavery to sin leads to death, but obedience leads to righteousness and eternal life. Sam reminds us that as Christians we have been set free from sin and are now slaves of righteousness to God. How does this shape how we live?

Reign in life
Our identity and value can be taken from many places – society tells us that our value is found in what we do, not on who we are. Yet with Christ, everything changes. We are no longer a product of what we do, but on what He did on the cross. We are no longer slaves of sin, but righteous before God because of the cross. This enables us to reign in life and wage war on sin.

Faith-filled obedience
Jesus was obedient to His father by coming to earth and dying for our sins. What does it mean for us to be obedient to God, have faith in all that he's calling us into and live fully for Him?

Where are you?
It’s really important that Christians know where they’ve come from and who they are now. It has a huge impact on our expectations and how we live life. This passage compares the characteristics of the life we had before we followed Christ (In Adam) with the characteristics of the life we have now (In Christ). The differences are incredible and lead to peace, joy and confidence in our lives.

Foundations of Christian Living
What does it mean to be justified by faith? Andrew outlined two key foundations that are vital for Christian living. We apologise for problems that have been experienced with this recording. We hope to have a better version available soon.

Foundations of Christian Living
In Romans 5:1-11, Paul begins to talk about the outworkings of being justified by faith which guarantee our future salvation. As he does so he talks about two foundations which are vital for Christian living: The first foundation is knowing that we are fully accepted by God. As those who have been justified there is peace between us and God and we stand in the sphere of God’s grace, meaning we always experience his favour and goodness, even though we are undeserving (5:1-2a) The second foundatio...

Fashioned as arrows
God takes ordinary people and with them he does extraordinary things. God has chosen you - with all your idiosyncrasies and your weaknesses - to be an arrow that brings his salvation to others.

Asking & Receiving
Jesus makes promises, but these promises have conditions - we must first ask in his name, then believe and then we must be open to receive.

Haggai
God: God longs to dwell with his people. Through Haggai, God calls the people to build his house and not just focus on their own houses. Why does God care so much? Because he longs to dwell with his people (1:1-11). The rebuilt temple is disappointing, but God promises a great future temple (2:1-9). The Gospel: God makes promises to Zerubabbel, part of the royal line of David. This reaffirms the promises made to David (2 Sam. 7:4-17). Is Zerubabbel the promised king and temple builder? No. The t...

Obadiah
Obadiah is a message of judgement for Esau’s descendants (Edom) and of hope to Jacob’s descendants (Judah/ Israel). For centuries Edom has oppressed its brother nation Judah in different ways and now God is bringing judgement by taking everything away from Edom. It also shows that the judgement shown to Edom will be shown to the nations. In contrast to this, God’s people Judah/ Israel will be delivered and God will stay true to His promised towards his people and also restore all that’s been los...

Habakkuk
The book of Habakkuk records a conversation between the prophet and God. As we overhear this conversation we get to learn about the gospel and about God. Habakkuk shows us that salvation has always been through faith and that true life is found through relationship with God.

God delights in you
Zephaniah tells us that as the people of Judah turned back to God their relationship with him was restored. Being restored to God resulted in praise and worship and an absence of fear. As they turn back to God he rejoices enthusiastically over them. For us, we have the opportunity to come into right relationship with God through Jesus. As we come to him as his beloved children we know that he delights in us. We need to choose to live in this relationship as loved, chosen children of God, saved b...

The God who pursues and redeems
The radical call on Hosea’s life is a humbling and sobering reminder of the affects of our sin and it’s impact on God. Through Hosea’s obedience, we experience a foretaste of God’s intention to rescue those who have run far from Him and how his mercy triumphs over judgement.

Amos
The minor prophets communicate so much about God and the gospel & Amos is no exception. In this book we understand Gods hatred of sin and injustice in-particular, but also his incredible capacity to save those who turn to Him in repentance.

For His eyes only
There are three types of people - the high-fliers, the faithful and the flippin’ useless. Jesus-followers are called to use their gifts and talents in the service of the Master.

One generation to the next
The OT provides an excellent overview of Gods work through the generations. We can see one generation serving God’s purposes and then passing the battern to the following generation, David, Solomon and Rehoboam provide an excellent example for us.

Identity & Purpose
We are transformed by God into a beautiful new identity. Why? For purpose - so that we can be ambassadors of Christ, representing him wherever we go.

He is our daily bread
Jesus is the bread of life. There is something more than what He provides, it's the gift of Christ himself. We are in Him, and through the ups and downs of life, we learn that Jesus is always enough for us. We carry the manna of Jesus everywhere we go.
