The Answer to All Anxious Thoughts
The religious leaders in the time of the gospel writers refused God’s answer to the problem of pain, loss, fear and confusion in society. God did not send more spiritual tools, or deep mysteries to discover. John 5: 37-47 makes it clear what God’s solution was and the questions proposed in that passage are still relevant to us today.
Seeing Jesus Clearly Reveals Your True Self | John 3: 22-4:3
John chapter 3 into 4, gives us a case study to look at a man who found his true self in comparison to who Jesus is. In our self-obsessed culture, this passage points to how can find our true selves in healthiest way possible.
Are You On the Right Side? | Matthew 5:17-20
Matthew 5, verses 17-20 says there is a way to respond to the Law and The Prophets that gets you on the right side of history. However the church has failed this test over and over again, causing division, denominations, factions and parachurch ministries. How can we know if we are on the right side of history? Pastor Robin explains how Jesus’ teaching on the Sermon on the Mount highlights a right and wrong way that the church should not miss.
Why Does it Matter That God is Holy? | Psalm 99
Out of all the descriptions of God , holy is the only one that is repeated three times in scripture when mentioned in praise. We certainly know the word well and the Bible uses it a lot, but what does the word mean for us practically? Does God’s Holiness have no other purpose than to make us feel inadequate? In today’s message, Pastor Robin looks at Psalm 99 and how the topic of God’s Holiness has unique meaning and purpose for our lives today.
Take Him At His Word | John 4:46-55
If we’re honest, we have a lot of fleeces out. We’re often looking to see will God come through. Is he trustworthy? Does He listen to me? Maybe it is a situation at work school or in your family. Maybe it is something in your body. Whatever it is - it is an invitation to a faith that pleases God and also a faith that He rewards. In this sermon, pastor Robin encourages us to take him at His word based on John 4: 46-55 - and then receive the blessings that follow.
The Beauty of Jesus | 2 Corinthians 4
Christianity is about transformation rather transaction. We are transformed from one state into another. From death to life but primarily from and old creature that could not please God into one that can. 2 Corinthians 4 says that we are transformed from one image of glory to another by beholding Jesus’ glory. What does that mean? How do we do that? Can we see Jesus’ glory. Pastor Robin unpacks this mystery to reveal something special about the beauty of Jesus.
Jesus, Our Living Hope | John 5:1-17
Muslims and Jews have very little issues with Jesus as a teacher or prophet but they deny His resurrection - that the hope we have is a living hope in the person of Jesus Christ. We have have this living hope inside us but do we ‘live’ like we do? We often don’t because of distractions. John 5: 1-17 details the distractions of the enemy that deny us the vision of Jesus Our Living Hope.
Does God Care About Your Body? | Robin Antoine
The way we look at our bodies governs how we treat ourselves and others. We all have a theology of the body - and so does Satan. We need God’s perspective. Anything other than His, is a perspective that leads to death. Sin has given us the ability to create a theology of the body apart from God. The body is an instrument of righteousness - it is made to be surrendered to God’s purposes. But God is the best caretaker of the body and surrender to his care is better than our care. In order to do that we need to accept our bodies as they are - because God does.
Living with Expectancy | Acts 3:1-10
There is a season for routines, procedures, safety and predictability but there is no life in ‘them’. There is only life and power found in a Person - in the Person of Jesus Christ. As those who are in Christ - we haven’t been made subject to rules of living but we have been made alive to God in everything we do, think and say. This lends itself to unpredictability, foiled routines, subsequent danger at times but most importantly joy. Pastor Robin explains in today’s message how Acts 3:1-10 illustrates a life lived and led expectant of a good God.
