Jesus radical, invasive love – John 13:1-20

Johan continues our series in John and we move into an intimate time of Jesus teaching his closest disciples in the last few days of his life. In this passage, Johan looks at the act of Jesus, Lord and teacher, washing his disciples feet – helping us understand the radical, invasive love of Jesus and how this example needs be followed.

Malachi

Johan concluded the series in the minor prophets with a powerful consideration of the age old question that is still so relevant today: Where is the God of justice? He takes time to consider the heart behind this question and the response from a living and just God, who has eternity in view.

Left overs for God? – Malachi 1

Johan continues the short series in “Messages from the minor prophets”, teaching from Malachi chapter 1. He considers the charge God brings against the Israelite nation who were bringing their “lefts-overs” as offerings to God. He then considers what sacrifices New Testament believers can bring and how these reveal the state of our hearts.

Jesus – The Good Shepherd – John 10:1-42

Johan explains how Jesus is truly the good Shepherd of all his sheep – he knows us and he keeps watch over us like no other, a Shepherd who lays down his life for the souls of His sheep. The message is for both those who are shepherds, under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ and the flock, his church.

Some of the things Jesus said where offensive to the people living at the time. Some of the things Jesus says may be offensive to us too, if we don’t understand why he said them and what he actually meant. Johan takes time to unpack some of Jesus difficult sayings from this passage in John.

A radical confrontation of “religion” – John 2:13-25

Johan explains the confrontation Jesus has with the Pharisees and challenges us to check our own hearts for compromise.

The truth will set you free – John 8:12-47

Johan explains how facing who we really are is the start of the change that God want to effect in our lives. When we deny who we are, we are truly trapped and destined to never experience the God of forgiveness.

The Fall – Consequences – Genesis 3

Johan, in the second part of his message on the fall, considers the terrible consequences but also the grace of God, despite man’s sin.

The fall – temptation – Genesis 3
