It’s been 2,000 years since Jesus walked on the earth, and our world is still talking about him! History has never let us forget that Jesus made an impact in this world – and lots of people have lots of different ideas about who he was. But who did Jesus actually say he was? There are eight times in the Gospel of John when Jesus said “I Am …” As a church, we’re spending time to explore and unpack what Jesus actually told us about himself.

This week Rob Collis finishes our series looking at the I Am sayings of Jesus, and preaches from John 8.30-59, where Jesus said, “Before Abraham was, I am.” As he unpacks this conversation, Rob points out that there are three times when Jesus says “Truly, truly, I say to you.” As he follows these three “trulys” – how to be truly free, how to be truly alive, and how Jesus is truly God – he helps us to pay attention to what Jesus says are the intellectually honest ways to respond to who he says he is.

This week Rob Collis preaches from John 8.12-20, where Jesus said, “I Am the light of the world.” As he unpacks Jesus’ claim, he explores three questions: What does Jesus claim? How did people react to Jesus’ claim? And what happens when Jesus shines his light?

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Luke 14.7-14. In our passage today, Jesus was sitting at a dinner table, and whenever Jesus came for dinner, things were never dull. This is the third time in Luke’s Gospel that Jesus has been invited to dinner at the home of a local religious leader. And every time he comes to dinner, Jesus makes things uncomfortable – he challenges the social conventions and the moral values of his hosts and fellow guests. As Rob unpacks this passage, he invites us look at three different things Jesus talks about at this meal: The place of honour, the path of humility, and the position of the host.

This week, we are excited to welcome Sean Love, who preaches from Acts 2.1-13. When the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus’ followers in Acts 2, it was a critical event that sets in motion everything that follows in the life of the Church. Without the coming of the spirit, there would be no prophecy, preaching, mission, conversions, or any worldwide Christian movement. But with the Spirit, the Church is empowered. The Holy Spirit launches witness, equips the apostles for their unique teaching role, he enables understanding in the listener, and highlights the salvation that comes only in the Lord Jesus.

This week, we are excited to welcome Lloyd Lee, who preaches from John 10.1-10, where Jesus says “I am the door.” We push on doors our whole lives, hoping to find ways forward in life. As Lloyd unpacks how Jesus is the door, the life, and here with us, he explores what it means for Jesus to be the door, and helps us to consider what doors we are trying to open in our own lives, and what Jesus’ claim means for us today.

This week, we are excited to welcome Sean Love, who preaches from 1 Samuel 16.1-23. When King Saul failed to listen to God and rejected his command, God called a young man called David to be the next king of His people, Israel. As Sean unpacks this passage for us, he invites us to see how David’s story fits into the bigger story of how God is at work in the world, as God sees his king, anoints his king, and sends his king into the world.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from John 14.6, where Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” No matter where we are on our journey with faith, this can feel like an uncomfortable saying – and we may wish Jesus had never said it! But before we try to dismiss it, or to try and forget that Jesus said this about himself, Rob invites us to spend some time seeking to understand what Jesus is saying about himself.

This week, we’re excited to welcome our own, David Song, as he preaches from John 6.1-23. He unpacks two of the important ‘signs’ that Jesus performed in his ministry – when he fed the 5000 and walked on water – and helps us see how Jesus’ signs are in continuity with how God moved in the Old Testament, and show us that Jesus is the herald of the new exodus.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from John 11.25-26, and explores what Jesus meant when he said, “I am the resurrection and the life” by looking at three questions: How does Jesus come to us? Who does Jesus say he is? And how will we respond?

This week, Rob Collis starts our new sermon series by preaching from John 10.11-18, and explores what Jesus meant when he said, “I am the good shepherd.”

The season of Lent is kind of like going on a pilgrimage. It’s a season of 40 days, patterned on how Jesus spent 40 days wandering and fasting in the wilderness – and as Lent leads us towards the cross and the empty tomb, it carves out space in our hearts to long for Jesus’ presence. During the time of the Old Testament, God’s people would go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem three times a year – but they didn’t make that journey in silence! They turned to the Psalms to create a road trip playlist of songs for the journey.

This week, we are pleased to welcome back Jude Johnson from the Artizo Institute, as he preaches from Psalm 124. This Psalm is a song of remembering, which invites us to remember how God has delivered us in the past, bless his goodness, and declare and trust in his faithfulness as we continue on our journey of following after him.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Psalm 123. It’s been said that this psalm isn’t so much a song as much as it is a deep, deep sigh. It’s a sigh, and a prayer, that is longing for mercy. But Rob shows us that this prayer and sigh for mercy also takes us on a three-stage journey – as God’s mercy takes us from oppression to freedom to service.

This week, we are pleased to welcome back Aberdeen Livingstone from the Artizo Institute. Aberdeen preaches from Psalm 122, and invites us to discover the joy we find on our journey. As we join in singing this song, it leads our hearts to start anticipating the destination as we continue travelling towards the cross and the empty tomb.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Psalm 121. This is a famous song – with inspiring language that lifts our eyes up towards the hills and the mountains as we travel on our journey. But as we dig a little deeper, Rob shows us this psalm is not really about the wonder of creation – instead, this is a song about the God who watches over us and keeps us.

This week, we are pleased to welcome back Jude Johnson from the Artizo Institute. Jude launches our Lent series, Songs for the Journey, by preaching from Psalm 120. This Psalm is a song of longing, which points us to Jesus in a unique way, as it shows us how he is the one who holds and heals all of our hurt.

Last year, as a church, we spent six months discerning our vision and values – so that we can get some clarity about where Jesus is leading us, what we’re called to do, and how we’re going to get there. And our vision is this: St. Andrew’s is growing a caring community transformed by Jesus. Faithful to the Bible. Reliant on Prayer. Sharing God’s love with Delta.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Matthew 22.1-14, and begins to unpack our church’s value: Sharing God’s love with Delta. In this passage, tells the parable of a wedding feast where the invited guests never came. As Rob unpacks this parable for us, he helps us to hear the invitation to come to the wedding feast, and the call to go and tell others about what we have found.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Revelation 8.1-5, and begins to unpack our church’s value: Reliant on Prayer. The book of Revelation has a visceral way of using words to breathe fresh air into our faith – and as Rob preaches from Revelation 8, he helps stoke our imaginations and cultivate a vision for what it means to pray, and then points us to the book of Psalms as a resource to equip us to come before God in prayer.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from 2 Timothy 3.14-17, and begins to unpack our church’s value: Faithful to the Bible. As a church, we believe that God alone has the words of life, and we desire to read, mark, and digest all that God has spoken to us, as we seek to live in the life he has come to give us. In this sermon, Rob explores three questions: Why do we need the Bible? What’s the Bible about? And how can we be faithful to the Bible?

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Acts 2.42-47, and begins to unpack what it means for us to be growing a caring community. When we remember and hold fast to the common reason for our unity – and the fellowship in which we share – we will become an overflowing fountain, and a rich and abundant source of blessing, not only for the people in our midst – but for the world in which we live.
