Matt Darvas - Saved For What?

In our first message of our new topic "Giving Hope", Bev uses fresh perspectives on the Biblical story of Esther to link this story of challenge and difficulty to the challenges and crushing difficulties of our sufferings. In such situations we all need hope. We long for things to come back to “normality “ but it’s often in going through great suffering and threat that we find the courage to become bringers of hope to others. Comfort, ease and security are incredibly seductive and Bev shows from the life of Esther that our empathy should go out to all people groups.

Theo Rule

Drought. Bushfires. Flood. Coronavirus. Personal crises in marriage or in finance or health or mental well-being. The Bible understands crisis and God empathizes with us in our struggles. The story of Joseph exemplifies the Bible’s potential to comfort and guide us in our own challenges. Using Joseph’s story, Theo explains what a crisis is and why it happens. Fatalism and karma are not realistic explanations. Cynicism and humanism are not ultimately to be our response as Christians.Crisis can help us to take a long hard look at ourselves and our own mortality, realizing that God is sovereign and in control. Looking carefully at the widely divergent responses of Jacob and his sons to the crisis, Theo shows how God can grow our character through crisis situations - as Joseph exemplifies.

Preaching through Genesis 44, Matt tackles the topic of offence. In the context of the developing story of Joseph and his family, Matt shares some of his own struggles with offences.The actions of Joseph in this chapter in setting a trap for his brothers are the outworking of offence. The word offence comes from the Hebrew word for “trap”. This trap has Joseph’s desired result - his brothers are repentant. The tearing of their clothes reflects a tearing of their hearts.What have you been offended by? Are you an advisor or an adversary? Are you trapped in adversarial thinking or freed to be an advisor - a person of influence in all of the spheres of influence in your life?

Matt Madigan - I Took Offense or I Took A Fence?

This message begins with an exploration of the inner world of Joseph who seems to have developed a heightened emotional intelligence and an ability to not only dream prophetic dreams but to interpret them as well.In refining Joseph’s character in prison, God was using bad things and bringing good out of them. The result is that Joseph, filled with equanimity, becomes second in command in the world’s most powerful nation.The lesson for us - firstly faith in God. Secondly, an understanding of God who doesn’t go from A to B in a straight line so life’s twists and turns are not detours but a part of God’s ultimate plan. Thirdly the promise to Abraham, that he would be a blessing to all nations, is also being fulfilled through the church. Positive developments in politics, law, and science are three prime examples of the Christian faith’s contribution to the development of a prosperous modern world. As a part of the Church, we are all contributing to something of cosmic significance.

Dr John Attia - Joseph: Interpreter of Dreams

At the deepest level of your life, what do you want? Sue suggests that below our ambitions, goals, and desires lies something more profound. Paul the Apostle says “I want to know Christ...”. There is a longing in the human heart to know God personally. This is to truly “know”. The deepest knowledge is relational prior to being experiential. Out of knowing Jesus in our innermost place of intimacy comes the fullness of joy, but also an experience of suffering which is very freeing, which overcomes self-blame and cynicism.Do you believe that God wants to give the very best of life to you? Sue explains how suffering is a part of the path to healthy wanting, true knowing, and joyful living.

Ps Sue Irwin - What Do You Really Want?

In 1 Corinthians 15 Paul the Apostle speaks of resurrection and being “saved”.Human beings need “saving” or “rescuing”. We yearn for fulfillment and “good” life but know that we fall far short of what it takes to make these things a reality. Sue explains how Jesus is the answer. Only he can bring heaven to earth right now, and his death and resurrection are the keys to this process.Victory over sin and death is at the core of our rescue by God. Sue encourages us to embrace a whole new world-view and a new, rescued way of living. We do this by dying to our old self and letting God freely make us into a new person, a resurrected person l, who thinks, speaks and lives differently.Let’s learn to be resurrection people, playing our own specific part in fulfilling God’s plan to bring heaven to earth.
