From The Inside Out

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Ezra 1:1-4, 3:10-13, 7:1-6, 9:1-2, 10:7-11; Nehemiah 1:1-4, 2:17-18, 6:15-16, 13:6-11,17-25,31 — King Cyrus rebuilt the temple; Ezra enforced the law of Moses; and Nehemiah repaired the city wall. But ultimately none of these external acts could truly change the hearts of God’s people. As we see the brokenness of the world all around us, may we not fight external battles with revenge, resistance, and force. Rather, may we be stirred with Christ-like compassion to love and forgive those around us - that the light of the Gospel would be allowed to transform hearts from the inside out.

OT Prophets & The Word Of God

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Jeremiah 7:25-28, 29:11; Isaiah 40:8; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; John 1:1-3,14; Amos 7:7-8 — The Old Testament prophets were instituted by God at a specific time and for a very specific purpose - to speak the Words of a gracious and just God to a people who would repeatedly refuse to listen. For the nation of Israel and indeed for us: our authority, guide, strength, and ultimate hope is not found in any ruler or culture or system of the world, but in the eternal Word of the living God.

Leaning In And Listening

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

1 Samuel 1:10-11, 2:12,17,27-36, 3:1,4-10,19-20; 1 Peter 4:7; 2 Timothy 3:16 — Having been dedicated to the Lord and called from a young age, Samuel was used greatly by the Lord and recognised across all of Israel as an authentic prophetic voice. Why? Samuel’s constant posture was one of leaning in and listening to God. Will we too have ears to hear the still small voice spoken through His word and Spirit?

Ruth: God's Heart Of Redemption

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Ruth 1:1-5,11-13, 2:2-3,8-10,14, 3:2-5,9, 4:3-6,14; Deuteronomy 7:3; Revelation 5:1-5, 19:7; Romans 8:3 — The book of Ruth recounts the hopeless plight of a family who had stepped outside of God’s good intention, and yet who He graciously restored to safety, prosperity, and immeasurable blessing. Though small in size, this little book and its rich prophetic foreshadowing of Christ provides us with one crystal clear takeaway: God’s heart is for redemption.
