The King Part 2

Sunday, 04 January 2009

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Micah 5:2, Isaiah 9:6, Psalm 2:8-9
Description:  In the first part, we concluded by looking at Psalm 110 where David revealed his awareness of one greater than himself whom he called Lord. In the second part, we explore the divine identity and activity of the future Davidic king. Also, we see how Jesus demonstrated that he was the long awaited king.

The King Part One

Sunday, 28 December 2008

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Luke 1:31-33, Matt. 27, Gen 12:2-3, Gen. 17:6
Description:  Many of our Christmas carols herald the birth of a king. But how exactly is Jesus a King, even the the King of Kings? The Old Testament predicted that the royal line would come from the tribe of Judah. Also, God promised King David a descendant who would reign forever (2 Samuel 7:13. Interestingly, David also reveals that he knew of a mighty ruler greater than himself. How can this be?

The Visit ofThe Magi

Sunday, 21 December 2008

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Matthew 2:1-12
Description:  No telling of Christmas is complete without the visit of the Magi(wise Men). Who were these mysterious figures from the East and how did they connect a star with Jesus? Today we join the caravan to Bethlehem in this fascinating story.

High Priest Part 2

Sunday, 14 December 2008

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 7:25-27, Hebrews 7:16, Hebrews 10:1-4, Hebrews 2:17, Romans 3:24-25
Description:  Jesus as our High Priest is one of his least understood roles. This is unfortunate because it is both theologically rich and practically significant. Jesus' priesthood is superior to the priesthood of Aaron because of its purtiy, permanence, and propitiatory power. Presently, as our High Priest, Jesus is blessing and interceding for all believers. We briefly looked at scripture's teaching about the priesthood of believers.

High Priest

Sunday, 07 December 2008

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Psalm 110:3-4, Exodus 19:5-6, Exodus 20
Description:  God designed the priesthood to be an essential part of the Old Covenent. They served an invaluable role as mediators and representatives between God and his people. Interestingly, the Old Testament (Psalm 110:4) speaks of a future priest who will serve forever. In Matt 21, we also looked at Jesus teaching that the Old Testament sacrificial system - temple, priesthood, and sacrifices - will be abolished.

What Are You Living For?

Speaker:  John Huizinga
Passages:  Psalm 90, James 4:14
Description:  What are you living for? A Pastoral plea to a faithful commitment to a life of holiness in Christ.

Jesus The Prophet Part 2

Sunday, 23 November 2008

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Luke 24, John 14:10, John 7:40, Luke 7:16
Description:  Jesus was regarded by his disciples and crowds as a prophet. Interestingly, Jesus would agree with that assessment but never explicitly says so. Why? Also, we explore how Jesus was understood to be both the coming Mosaic Prophet and one greater than that.

Jesus The Prophet Part 1

Sunday, 16 November 2008

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Deut. 18:15-19, Isaiah 49:1-2, Isaiah 61:1-2
Description:  Today we explore the Old Testament teaching concerning Jesus as a Prophet. In our study, we examine the defining characteristics of Old Testament prophets. Also, we look at the greatest Old Testament prophet - Moses- and how a future prophet is predicted who is like Moses.

Christ in the Old Testament

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  John 5:39, Luke 24:25-27, Luke 29:46-47, Matt. 5:17, 1 John 3:8
Description:  The Bible records God's plan of redemption for humanity. At the very center of this plan stands a deliverer-Jesus Christ who is promised and foreshadowed in the Old Testament. Today we will explore Genesis 3:14-15. This passage, written thousands of years before the time of Christ, predicts a male deliverer who will defeat the serpent which Scripture identifies as Satan.

Sunday, 02 November 2008

Speaker:  Pastor Bryan Sims
Passages:  Phil 3:20, Jer. 29:7, 1 Tim 2:1-3
Description:  We have talked about how the church and government are separate but interact. This week we explore how they interact. We are to pray for the government and voice our Christian worldview. We also briefly explore the issue of whether Christians should ever disobey the government.
