Life in the Wilderness | Jesus: Son of Adam, Saviour of All (Luke 3:23-38) | Darryl Siemens 36:28

לפני 3 ימים36:28

36:28

The gospels contain two (very different) genealogies. Both genealogies establish Jesus’ Davidic lineage, but while Matthew traces Jesus’ ancestry through Solomon, Luke traces it through Nathan. The reason for this discrepancy continues to be debated by scholars. What is even more telling, though, is that while Matthew’s genealogy starts with Abraham and traces forward to Jesus, Luke’s genealogy starts with Jesus and traces back to Adam. The difference between Luke’s genealogy and Matthew’s is rooted both in audience and purpose. Luke, writing to a primarily gentile audience, is seeking to show that Jesus is the Saviour and Messiah of all people. Also, in placing His, He now records Jesus’ genealogy all the way back to Adam to establish that the Son of God is also the Son of Man, a direct descendant of Adam. Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise made in Genesis 3:15, the one who would crush the head of the serpent under His heel. Jesus is the true and better Adam, as Paul writes to the church in Rome in Romans 5:12-21. Only a true son of Adam and the divine Son of God could be one to serve as the Saviour of all.…

Life in the Wilderness | A Voice in the Wilderness (Luke 3:1-20) | Darryl Siemens 45:37

45:37

In Matthew 28:18-20, we see that disciples of Jesus ought to be baptized just as Jesus was, but why was Jesus baptized? Luke 3:3 tells us that John was “proclaiming a baptism for the forgiveness of sins,” but Jesus had no sins that needed to be forgiven as the sinless Son of God. In Matthew 3:15, we see that Jesus says He is being baptized to “fulfill all righteousness.” This gives us insight into why Jesus would be baptized. First, He is baptized as a symbol of His full obedience to the Father. In this, He sets the example for all His disciples who would come after Him. Second, His baptism by Jesus identifies Him as the one whom John had been preparing the way for. When the heavens open, the Holy Spirit descends, and the Father speaks His approval, we see the public ministry of Jesus inaugurated in a powerful way. Through His baptism, Jesus shows Himself to be our perfect example and our long-awaited Saviour.…

A Better Way | Liberty vs. License (Romans 6:15-18) | Darryl Siemens 37:40

לפני 24 ימים37:40

37:40

Our culture often defines freedom as the absence of rules or responsibilities, but the Bible teaches us that that type of freedom is no freedom at all, instead it is enslavement to sin. In opposition to the world that holds out license as the essence of freedom and religions that seek to burden us with the law and legalism, Jesus calls us into a new way of living where we find the liberty we long for by living under the Lordship of Christ.…

A Better Way | Contribution vs. Consumption (Ephesians 2:8-10) | Darryl Siemens 39:21

לפני 5 weeks39:21

39:21

While many of us are tempted to find our value, identity, and meaning in our productivity, it’s also true that we’re also tempted to believe we will find our satisfaction and comfort in consumption. We’re constantly fed the lie that what we’re longing for will be found if we had “just a little more.” The truth is that ultimately true satisfaction is only found in Jesus, the salvation that is found in Him and also the work that He has called us to. The good news is not just that Jesus has saved us from sin and death but also that He has saved us to a life of purpose and meaning.…

A Better Way | Rest vs. Grind (Matthew 11:28-30) | Darryl Siemens 36:29

לפני 6 weeks36:29

36:29

There is no such thing as a solo Christian. Coming to Christ means becoming a part of his church. From the very beginning of the church, we see that, although every individual has to make their own decision about who Jesus is, for those who decide to follow Jesus, they are not only joined with Christ, they are joined with everyone else who has claimed Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Our culture of hyper-individualism breeds loneliness, but one of the calling cards of the church ought to be deep community.…

A Better Way | Authenticity vs. Image Curation (Romans 5:6-11) | Kirk Giles 41:11

לפני 8 weeks41:11

41:11

One of the most beautiful truths of the gospel is that Jesus died for us “while we were still sinners.” He knew the real us, not some glossy, photoshopped, curated version for us. He knew us completely, even the parts of us that we’re terrified anyone else would find out about, and yet He loved us so much He died for us. We live in a world that craves authenticity and yet is awash in a cheap imitation of what it means to be fully known. In the gospel we find the beautiful truth that through Jesus God loves us just as we are AND that He loves us too much to leave us there.…

A Better Way | Certainty vs. Uncertainty (Romans 8:31-39) | Darryl Siemens 36:29

לפני 9 weeks36:29

36:29

We live in a culture where everything feels up for grabs and change seems to be the only constant. On a macro level in Canada, we have experienced and are continuing to experience huge economic, political, geo-political, technological, and cultural upheaval. On a personal level many people are in the midst of situations that have or will turn their lives as they’ve known them upside down. We live in uncertain times. And yet, as human beings we have a deep need for certainty. So, is there anything we can be certain of in these uncertain times? Romans 8:31-39 answers that question with a resounding YES! No matter what this world may throw at us, if we are followers of Jesus, we can be certain of God’s love for us demonstrated through the death and resurrection of Jesus and his sure and certain victory over sin, Satan, and death. If we plant our feet and put our faith in Jesus we have a certain hope that will not disappoint us.…

A Better Way | The True Son (Luke 2:39-52) | Darryl Siemens 37:49

לפני 10 weeks37:49

37:49

One of the mind-bending truths of Christianity is that the man Jesus, born of Mary as a baby, who grew up in Nazareth and developed and matured like all humans do, is also the second person of the Trinity, God the Son, creator of all things. This section of scripture helps us see both Jesus’ absolute and foundational humanity and His absolute and foundational divinity. Jesus is both the true son of Mary and the true Son of God. Both His humanity and divinity are total, and both are totally necessary for Him to be all that He needed to be to redeem and restore all creation.…

A True Christmas | A True Turning Point (Luke 2:21-38) | Steve Hicks 34:23

לפני 10 weeks34:23

34:23

Jesus was born a Jew. In fact, He would end up being the ultimate Jew. The only one to ever fulfill completely and fully all the requirements and commands of the Old Covenant and in so doing He would usher in a new covenant by fulfilling the old one. This new covenant through Jesus is the means by which all people, Jews and Gentiles, could become the people of God. This passage is a reminder that Jesus is the centre point of all history and that our future will be determined by how we respond to the redemption He offers.…

A True Christmas | Truly Emmanuel (Luke 2:1-7) | Derik Fuller 39:28

לפני 12 weeks39:28

39:28

It’s easy to become so familiar with a passage like this that we lose the immensity of what is taking place. In this passage Luke records that the one who is beyond time is born into human history, that the creator of all thing’s has stepped into His creation. And what makes this even more startling is the setting. Jesus, God become flesh, enters time and space in anonymity and vulnerability. He’s born to a teenage mom and laid in a trough used to feed animals. The entrance into human history does not take place in the halls of power, in the places of prestige and privilege, instead God appears in the most humble and lowly way imaginable. And yet, a birth noted by no one of note at the time, becomes the moment by which all history will end up being divided. Christmas matters because Christ has come and that changes everything.…

A True Christmas | True Faith (Luke 1:26-56) | Darryl Siemens 34:50

לפני 14 weeks34:50

34:50

The faith of Mary is an example for us. It’s marked by humility that demonstrates itself two ways: First, she is surprised that God would grant to her the honor and blessing to be the mother of the Messiah. Second, she is humble enough to take God at His word. It’s also marked by a willingness to trust God despite what it might cost her. Having a child out of wedlock was a surefire way to lose her reputation, the husband she is betrothed to and any future moving forward, but she not only believed the words of God, she also believed that God would provide for her. Finally, it’s a faith that is marked by hope. She believes her God will not only be her salvation, but that through the child she is bearing He will bring salvation to all His people. Mary provides for us not only an example of the type of faith God honors, but a picture of the people of faith our world desperately needs.…

A True Christmas | A God who is True (Luke 1:5-25) | Darryl Siemens 37:34

לפני 15 weeks37:34

37:34

As Luke begins recounting the events leading up to Christ’s birth, he starts with a prediction of another birth—that of John the Baptist. John’s birth serves as a powerful reminder that God remains faithful to His promises, even when it seems like He’s gone silent. John’s birth marks the end of the 400-year period of silence in the salvation narrative. It reminds us that even when our prayers seem to fall on deaf ears and our faithfulness goes unnoticed, God is always true and working. He continues to work even when all hope seems lost, when our dreams are dashed, and even when our prayers have become little more than a faint hope. This story calls us to persevere in steady faithfulness, believing that God’s promises are reliable and that He often responds when we least expect it.…

A True Christmas | A True Story (Kirk Giles) 44:50

לפני 16 weeks44:50

44:50

In the first few verses of his Gospel, Luke wants to make it clear that what he is about to tell us is not myth, fable, or fantasy, but history. The Christian faith is ultimately rooted in history. It’s important that we understand that Christianity isn’t merely a philosophy or a set of moral teachings. At its core, Christianity is about a real God working out a real plan to really save a people to Himself through the real birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, who really was fully God and fully man. The reason this story is so good is because it’s also so true.…
