October 24, 2021 - The Old Testament Priests and Christ: A Sermon on the BOok of Hebrews

10/30/2021

Hebrews 7:18-28 18 (Click to Read)
Preacher: Terence Chandra

The idea that sin alienates people from a Holy God certainly isn't new. Indeed, the ancient Jews saw sin as a thing that pollutes or defiles. And if someone (or even something) was sullied by sin then that person dare not enter into the presence of a Holy God. According to the Old Testament, however, God has provided for his people a kind of solvent- a means of obtaining purification after defilement from sin. That thing is blood- specifically, the blood of certain animals that are sacrificed to God in the tabernacle by specially designated priests. This way of dealing with sin is what the author of Hebrews refers to as "the old covenant." The old covenant was always meant to be provisional. In other words, it was never a longterm solution to the problem of human sin. It only existed to point the way to a new and ultimately better way of dealing with human sin. It is this "new and better way" that is the subject of today's sermon. According to the new covenant, the Old Testament priests are no longer necessary. Instead, there is now one priest; namely, Jesus Christ. It is through him that sinful humanity can enter into the presence of a Holy God.

Why Did Jesus Say, I am the Bread of Life? (A Bible Study John 6:25-40)
The day after Jesus fed 5,000 men with five loaves and two fish, he found himself surrounded by a large crowd of hungry people, demanding more food. Instead of giving them what they want, Jesus says, "do not work for the food that perishes but the food that endures to eternal life" (John 6:27). What is the food that Jesus is talking about? In short, himself. Jesus says, "I am the bread of life."

Today- in this second part of a Bible Study series on the I AM sayings of John's Gospel- we will take a closer look at what Jesus truly means when he says, "I am the bread of life."

October 3, 2021 - What Jesus says about Marriage and Divorce: a Sermon on Mark 10:2-16

MARK 10:2-16 (CLICK TO READ)
PREACHER: TERENCE CHANDRA

What Jesus Taught about Marriage and Divorce It's common to see headlines in the tabloids about the divorce of celebrities and other, high profile public figures. If there were tabloids in Jesus' time, a headline might read like this: “Royal Marriage Scandal: King Herod to Wed Herodius, the Divorced Wife of His Brother. John the Baptist Outraged!" With this divorce scandal on everybody's minds , the Pharisees approach Jesus with a question: "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" (Mark 10:2). In response, Jesus offers a lengthy teaching- a teaching that focusses, not so much on divorce itself, but marriage. The unspoken question that Jesus poses is this: What is God's ultimate will for marriage? What do the scriptures say? The response to this question ultimately informs Jesus' teachings on divorce. Join us as we take a closer look at Mark 10:1-12 .
