Read the text – Matthew 11:1-19
In this talk, Dave Swan reacquaints us with the gospel of Matthew as a historical and reliable source of knowing Jesus. And we, along with John the Baptist we ask the question: ‘Are you [Jesus] the one who is to come to save us?’
JesusWORKS aims to introduce you to the Jesus of history by looking at his life, teaching and work. Primarily, it is for the person who wants to check out the claims of Jesus or the claims about Jesus – so that they can make up their own minds about him.
Yet, it is also for any Christian who wants to be prepared to give a reasoned answer for the hope that they have in the gospel of Jesus (1 Pet 3:15).
Jesus calls people to himself, yet he gives everyone the opportunity to examine him and his message before making that decision.
In this talk, we seek to answer the question: What is the Bible? – is it an old irrelevant book or is it a reliable source for understanding Jesus?

In this, the second of three sermons on Gospel-drive guidance Geoff Lin shows us what the Bible has to say about how we can find out how God wants us to live (God’s moral will). Geoff explains how the Bible should be the primary way we discern this and reminds us in 2 Timothy 3:14 we read that the “holy Scriptures are able to make us wise for salvation”. Geoff then provides sound advice for as to how we should do this – by reading and being challenged by, the whole of the Bible – all of “God’s Word to us”.
Read the Bible texts: Judges 6, Acts 1:12-26, 2 Timothy 3:16-17

By Adam Smith
March 26th, 1538 – Easter Sunday, Geneva
My dear William,
It’s me, John Calvin.
As I write to you now, I hear a mob at my door
An army of people calling, I can’t ignore
They want silence. They want me gone, William;
A pack packed with pitchforks and torches and clubs
Angry at truth, and calling for blood.
I came to Geneva, after your relentless pursuit
I accepted your offer and came to be absolutely firm in my conviction
To preach the gospel of Christ, and Christ alone.
But against your prediction, and depiction of this city, I’ve felt nothing but friction against the good news I bring, and now here I am threatened with eviction.
They don’t want to hear it. They don’t want a part.
They’ve put up a wall of hostility around the void in their heart
For once in the past, an intervention divine,
when God subdued and made a teachable heart of mine
I saw in that moment all power and glory
The majesty of God revealed in the story
Of God and his people, in scripture complete
revelation of who he is and how to know him
Man creates a model of God, in one single plane
That is put in a containable box and constrained
To our weak definition, a flawed exposition
That fails to capture even a glimmer of God’s awesome composition
