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, we’re excited to welcome our own, David Song, as he preaches from John 6.24-59. David unpacks what it means for Jesus to be the bread come down from heaven for the life of the world, and helps us consider how to respond.

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, 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.

This week, Rob Collis helps us to consider the most important part of our vision statement: Transformed by Jesus. As he preaches from 2 Corinthians 3.12-18, he helps us take stock of how Jesus begins to transform out lives, as Jesus lifts the veil from our eyes, and take us on a journey of becoming fully alive in him – through the power of his Holy Spirit – as we grow in faith and follow him in every area of our life.

This week, we’re excited to welcome back Willie Shain-Ross as he preaches from Mark 3.7-35. As he walks us through three back-to-back accounts in Mark’s gospel, he helps bring the big picture into focus: to see our call to Jesus Christ and how he is calling us to follow him as the true king.

Whatever our attitude may be towards New Year’s resolutions, there’s something about them that finds its roots in a profoundly Christian belief: No matter how you’ve lived, no matter what you’ve done – we can always start afresh. Because God’s mercies are new every morning, and Jesus is always faithful to forgive us our sins. But how can we know Jesus will forgive us? How can we trust he will give us another chance – again?

This week, Rob Collis preaches from Mark 1.9-13, and explores the significance of the very first recorded deed in Jesus’ ministry on earth: his baptism and temptation. As he unpacks what baptism means for us, he shows us how baptism serves as a guarantee of God’s faithfulness, and just how deeply Jesus delights in us.

The book of Ruth is situated in a time when God’s people kept doing what was right in their own eyes, and kept walking way from God in order to revel in the darkness of their own ways. But Ruth shows us that, even when darkness hangs so closely, God never abandons his people – and he is moving in the lives of his people so that his relentless love can shine to all the world.

This week, Rob Collis preaches from the fourth and final chapter of Ruth, as he looks at the fulfillment of their hope. As God has been moving behind the scenes in Ruth and Naomi’s lives, there’s an important part of this story that needed to happen – a part that we sometimes gloss over and forget: the only way Naomi and Ruth could be redeemed was for someone to pay the cost.

This week Rob Collis preaches from Ruth 3, and unpacks the promise of hope given to Ruth and Naomi. Ruth and Naomi have started seeing the ways God has been moving behind the scenes in their lives – and now they take a big step to respond to what they see God doing – as they seek to find rest in the faithful love of God.

This week we're excited to welcome Aberdeen Livingstone, who is an apprentice with the Artizo Institute. Aberdeen preaches from Ruth 2, and helps us see the glimmer of hope welling up in Naomi's heart. As she unpacks the three scenes in this passage, she directs us to see how God is always at work behind the scenes, and invites us to consider how we might join in.
