Reading: Psalm 19

1. Torah is Special because it reveals God specifically

2. Torah offers both warning and promises that are rooted in God's own character (v11)

3. Jesus is the full revelation of the Torah…

Who is Jesus? 

(Reading Philippians 2:5-11 & Hebrews 2:6-18)

 

1.                      God the Son became human like us 

2.                      To live the life we should have 

 

3.                      To die the death we should have

 

4.                      So he could bring us to God

 

(Preacher: Andreas Mayer)

Our Identity in Christ

Bible Readings: Colossians 3:1-4, Ephesians 1:3-10

“Be true to who you are” ?

Our Identity in Christ

Sinners or Saints?

Building ‘Christ-esteem’

(Steve Blencowe)

Jesus: The resurrection & The Life

John 11

(Reading 11:1-26)

 

John shows us Jesus’ humanity and his divinity

These events took place to glorify Jesus…      (11:4)

…the resurrection and the life            (11:25-26)

 

And these events are recorded that you might believe

 

As we finish our time in John’s gospel, can you declare with Thomas – that Jesus is your Lord and God (20:28)

   

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

The Shepherd and His Sheep

John 10

(Reading 10:1-24)

 

Jesus is the Good Shepherd 

• He uses the gate (10:1-6)

• He is the gate (10:7-9)

• He gives his life for his sheep, voluntarily (10:10-13, 17-18)

• He knows all his sheep (10:14-16)

 

Jesus’ sheep listen to His voice (10:4-5, 16)

 

 

Beware of thieves, robbers and wolves….

 

 

 (Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

The right response to Jesus!

John 9

 

A man born blind demonstrates how we should respond to seeing Jesus’ signs

  

 

While the Jewish leaders display the sorry reality of spiritual blindness

 

 

Along the way John causes us to think about the relationship between sickness and sin

 

 

What can we learn from the once blind man?

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Jesus’ words: the diagnostic test for our hearts

John 8:31-59

Believing in Jesus will set you free

Jesus is denying the truth

There’s no one more important than Jesus. So how we respond to Him matters more than anything.

(Preacher: Thom Herbert)

Jesus: the true light, that gives life

John 8:12-30 

 

 

John has told us Jesus is the light…    (Jn 1:1-18) 

Now Jesus says “I am the light…”       (Jn 8:12)

 

John shows us the darkness of:  

The Pharisees’ human judgement  (Jn 8:12-20)

  

      and the Jews’ worldly thinking      (Jn 8:21-30)

  

Everything will be clearer – when Jesus is ‘lifted up’

 

Are you enjoying the life that the light gives?

 

 (Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Thirsty?

John 7 

(Reading 7:1-13, 37-44)

 

This chapter of John’s Gospel shows us:

 

 

The sad irony of many who do not receive Jesus

 

 

 

And the boundless blessings for those who do!

 

 

Doesn’t it make you thirsty?

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Where else have we to go?

John 6:22-71

(Reading vs22-42)

  

What is it that keeps you going?

In this passage there are many looking for Jesus, but very few really find him (v26, 66)

 

What does Jesus mean when he says: “I am the bread of life”?  (v35)

 

And what does it mean to “eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood” (v53)

 

Can we say what Peter said? 

“Lord, to whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life.”

(Steve Blencowe)
