Andy became our church pastor in November 2020
The disciples who met Jesus on the Emmaus road were shaken by the events of Jesus’s trial and crucifixion and their hopes had died with Him. The root of their problem lay in their failure to accept everything that the Scriptures said concerning Jesus. Luke 24:13-35 On the Road to Emmaus 13 That very day…
Christians celebrate Easter Sunday with joy, knowing that the Lord Jesus Christ has risen from the dead! However, eyewitnesses to the event weren’t immediately sure what had happened. Using the Apostle John’s account, we will consider the Biblical evidence affirming that ‘He is risen indeed!’ John 20:1-10 English Standard Version The Resurrection 20 Now on…
For Jesus, the end of His earthly life represented a fulfilment of purpose and prophecy. Even the men who intervened in Jesus’ death and participated in His burial contributed in the accomplishment of God’s redemptive plan. John 19:17-37 English Standard Version 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The…
As Jesus anticipates His impending death, a voice from heaven affirms His mission. What Jesus meant as a reference to his crucifixion was completely misunderstood by all the people. John 12:20-36 Some Greeks Seek Jesus 20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to…
When Christ entered the gates of Jerusalem, He did so with authority, amidst confusion, and at the perfect time. As we think about Christ’s triumphal entry, we must refocus our lives in light of this King coming on a donkey, asking if we are ready to devote ourselves in service to Him. John 12:1-19 ESV…
Chapter 10 of Ecclesiastes introduces us to the foolish person. We are all susceptible to making foolish choices that can destroy a good reputation. Being careless with our choices in this life is evidence that we are not prepared for the next. Only God is able to make us wise unto Salvation. Ecclesiastes 10:1-20 ESV…
Encountering a man blind from birth, the disciples assumed that the cause for his blindness must have been someone’s sin. Jesus, however, told them that his blindness was so that the work of God might be displayed in him. The remedy for our spiritual blindness is receiving spiritual sight as an undeserved gift from the Lord…
As the Teacher observes life, he wants us to confront the hard reality of how little we know, and the vast extent of what we cannot handle. We are not in control and life doesn’t work the way we’d expect. In this passage, we look at the main problem, so that we can be sure…
At a wedding in the town of Cana, Jesus miraculously turned water into wine. Every miracle Jesus performed pointed toward the cross. From His response to His mother’s reaction to the miracle itself, Jesus had His coming passion in mind. Here we see that Jesus is God and does what only God can do.
By nature, people are uncomfortable reflecting on life’s hardest realities, such as the uncertainty of the future and the certainty of death. Instead of considering our existence beyond this life, we often choose to focus on the fleeting pleasures of this world. However, our hearts will remain restless until we find rest in the God…
