The Trap of Offence

Vision Church

13 March 2022

Luke 7:18-28 — Despite being the very one who proclaimed Jesus’ coming, even John the Baptist encountered such disappointment that he doubted Jesus’ identity. As believers, we too can end up focusing on all that God isn’t doing in our lives. But the sure result is doubting our foundation. Only once we let go of our offence at Him can we see the big picture: there is no other like Jesus, the rock and Messiah. And He is always at work.

Washed and Restored

John 13:5-10; 21:5-17 — For many, the last two years have been an incredible challenge - dragging us down into sin, or even into denial of Christ. But no one is ever too far gone for Jesus. Just as He washed the filth off His disciples’ feet, so He has for you. Just as he restored Peter from denial, so He has for you. By Jesus’ death and resurrection alone, we are washed and restored.

2 Kings 4:1-7; Matthew 25:1-13 — Throughout scripture, oil is used to symbolise the power, anointing, and presence of God - the Holy Spirit. But too often we only ask God for a drop at a time. God’s desire is that we would each be filled to overflowing with His Spirit. And, as we learn to steward the oil in our lives, we will truly see that our ‘nothing’ plus His Spirit equals everything we could ever need.

The Idol of Identity

Vision Church

27 February 2022

Ephesians 1:3-10 — Elevating ourselves to God’s place, modern society claims that human worth and purpose are found through individual self-curation. But this idolatrous version of identity is far from the truth. As Paul declares to the Ephesian church, we have each been created in the very image of God Himself, predestined to be His beloved children, and saved by the redemptive power of Jesus’ blood. To find true identity, we don’t look in. We look up.

True Freedom

Vision Church

20 February 2022

Galatians 4:3-9 — In his letter to the Galatian church, Paul describes how Christ has redeemed us from slavery to freedom - a freedom very unlike that idealised by our modern world. Far beyond what our fleeting wills could ever curate for ourselves, Christ has won true freedom for us: liberty from the captivity of our brokenness and sin, and life as sons and daughters of the living Creator God.
