Building An Altar

Vision Church

30 March 2025

Revelation 4:1-5:14; John 4:23-24; Genesis 12:1-8 — In Revelation we see a picture of unceasing worship of the One seated on heaven’s throne. What could our earthly worship possibly add to this picture of perfection? As we explore this question over the coming series, let us consider Abraham. In and out of season, Genesis records him building an altar to the Lord. These were intentional acts of worshipful devotion; establishing places of encounter, remembrance, and surrender.

Covenant Faithfulness, Gift Of Grace

Vision Church

23 March 2025

Genesis 11:1-9,28 12:1-3, 22:15-18; Matthew 24:35; Deuteronomy 32:8-9; Joshua 24:2; Galatians 3:7-9,16,28-29; John 11:49-53 — In the Abrahamic covenant we see God fulfil an incredible promise: through an aged, idol-worshipping, faithless man (and his barren wife), God established a people of His own through whom all nations would receive salvation. From Abraham to Christ, God’s covenant promises are founded upon His faithfulness and centred around His gift of grace, all to achieve redemption for a fallen and broken mankind.

Judgement & Mercy

Vision Church

16 March 2025

Genesis 6:1-8; 2 Peter 2:4-9; Acts 17:30-31, 10:42; James 2:13, 5:11; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:4; Hebrews 3:7-8, 4:16; Romans 8:1; Luke 18:9-14 — As early as Noah’s Ark, human history shows that the natural result of free will is brokenness, evil, and rebellion. Across scripture we see that God is a just and righteous judge who does not let human sin go unchecked. But likewise we see that God takes mercy so seriously that He bore its price to ensure we receive it.

Cultivating Faithfulness

Vision Church

9 March 2025

Psalm 37:3, 51:15-17; Hosea 6:6-7; Matthew 23:23; 2 Timothy 2:11-13 — God is unrelentingly faithful to us, and as followers of Christ we are called to grow in faithfulness to Him. But this is not simply achieved by willpower and acts of devotion. Cultivating true God-honouring faithfulness is a work of the Holy Spirit. We are to trust in and seek after Him (not our own efforts), and persist in intent and action with whatever He’s placed in our hands.

The Twist In The Tale

Vision Church

2 March 2025

Genesis 3:1-22 — Out of the perfection of Eden, we see the ‘twist in the tale’ of God’s created order: the temptation of the serpent causes Adam and Eve to fall into sin. But even in the midst of human guilt, futile cover-ups, and blame-shifting, we see a God who pursues us, promising hope and providing a means for our redemption.
