The Reality of The Resurrection

Vision Church

31 March 2024

Matthew 27:62-28:10; 1 Corinthians 15:12-22; 2 Peter 1:16; Mark 8:31; Luke 24:13-27; Isaiah 46:10, 53:5-6; John 13:19, 20:24-28 — The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is without doubt the foundation of Christian belief. But did it really happen? The historical trustworthiness of Jesus’ life and death, His fulfilment of over 300 ancient prophecies, and the immediate and sustained transformative impact of the Gospel give us the utmost assurance that it did. Through the Risen Lord Jesus alone, we have the unshakeable hope of eternal life spent in relationship with Him.

The Cries of The Cross

Vision Church

29 March 2024

Luke 23:13-49, 2:51; John 19:25-30; Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 13:5, 4:15 — The words spoken by Jesus upon the Cross are only few, but go to the very heart of Christ’s identity and mission. They reveal a Saviour who offers forgiveness and grace; who cares and who knows what it is to be human. They reveal a Saviour who suffered on our behalf and was surrendered to the Father’s will even unto death. Ultimately, they reveal a Saviour who was faithful and victorious - the pure and spotless sacrifice who paid our debt in full, once and for all.

A Different Kind of Saviour

Vision Church

24 March 2024

Matthew 21:1-17; 20:17-19; Zechariah 9:9; John 18:36 — As we celebrate Palm Sunday we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the long awaited Messiah. But Jesus was not who the Jewish people expected Him to be. He came as a different kind of Saviour; to achieve a different kind of triumph; and to establish a different kind of reign.

Jesus Our Great High Priest

Vision Church

17 March 2024

Hebrews 4:11-5:10; Leviticus 16; 2 Corinthians 12:9; John 16:33 — Under Old Testament Law, the High Priest acted as a mediator between man and God by making atoning sacrifices for the sins of Israel. But, as the writer to the Hebrews points out, this was only ever an imperfect and temporary construct, pointing us to the eternal and superior atonement made by Jesus: He alone knows the fulness of human weakness and yet did not sin. He alone mercifully provides the only cure for our sinful condition. And He alone overcame sin and death. Jesus is our Great High Priest.

The Priority of Obedience

Vision Church

10 March 2024

Hebrews 3:1, 4:1-11; Romans 8:14; 1 John 5:3 — In order to enter God’s rest and walk in the fullness of His covenantal promises, we must recognise the priority of obedience. But if we think that God has chosen us just to do His work for Him, we have missed the point. We are called to obedience as our joy and our purpose; we obey not to earn approval but as His sons and daughters who willingly sacrifice all to bear His image and fulfil our heavenly calling.
