During NZ's compulsory lockdown I will be exploring the Easter story with the help of The Jesus Storybook Bible. This first message explores how an unnamed woman does a beautiful thing for Jesus and how Jesus does a beautiful thing for us. This sermon can also  be viewed on our youtube channel https://youtu.be/491WichPrP4 

We can learn so much from the Bible and Church history to encourage and strengthen us during this Covid-19 outbreak.

In this last message in Jeremiah we see God's faithfulness to his prophet and to us, especially in tough times.

Jeremiah receives a Word about the great and unsearchable things of God. Things that, because of the cross, we can understand and that can also change our lives.  

Though tempted to edit out parts of the Bible we're uncomfortable with, when we allow God to challenge us our walk with him is transformed.

True repentance involves more than our spiritual life but also impacts how we handle our finances. 

In this final message based in Psalm 139 we look at how God's All-Powerfulness is revealed in the wonder of a baby forming within a mother's womb

Even as we grieve we receive comfort and assurance for "Blessed are those that mourn for they will be comforted".

Jeremiah is asked by God to obey before he understands why and is mightily blessed as we can be when we obey first and understand afterwards.

How can we be a faithful generation passing on our love for Christ and his Word to our children and grandchildren? 

Ben Dykman preaches on Psalm 101 and the how King David's righteous resolutions can be ours for 2020

Putting aside common misconceptions what does the Bible say heaven will be like?

Though the word "covenant" sounds legal, formal and distant, in the Bible it represents a personal description of our walk with God.

The context of the most well known verse in Jeremiah (29:11) is more surprising and enriching than many people realise.   

We explore how to hide God's Word in a way that pleases our Heavenly Father, encourages others and transforms our walk with Christ.

Finishing the year with a service thanking God for his many blessings, this message explores what it means to "Give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thess 5:18)

Joseph is often the forgotten person of the nativity yet his kindness and obedience to God's Word shows us what righteous person is.

God loves to turn everything upside down including the birth announcement of his dearly loved Son.

Jeremiah is put on trial for his life in a way that foreshadows Jesus but also shows us how we can be faithful in God's house.

God, who lost his only Son, is uniquely positioned to offer us great comfort in our grief. This message was given at a memorial service for those who had lost loved ones over the past year.
