God's Covenant with Noah

How can we avoid the falling away in our faith and develop perserverance in our faith.Psalm 73 (CSB)God is indeed good to Israel,to the pure in heart.2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped;my steps nearly went astray.3 For I envied the arrogant;I saw the prosperity of the wicked.4 They have an easy time until they die, and their bodies are well fed. 5 They are not in trouble like others;they are not afflicted like most people.6 Therefore, pride is their necklace,and violence covers them like a garment.7 Their eyes bulge out from fatness;the imaginations of their hearts run wild.8 They mock, and they speak maliciously;they arrogantly threaten oppression.9 They set their mouths against heaven,and their tongues strut across the earth.10 Therefore his people turn to them and drink in their overflowing words. 11 The wicked say, “How can God know?Does the Most High know everything? ”12 Look at them ​— ​the wicked!They are always at ease,and they increase their wealth.13 Did I purify my heartand wash my hands in innocence for nothing?14 For I am afflicted all day longand punished every morning.15 If I had decided to say these things aloud,I would have betrayed your people. 16 When I tried to understand all this,it seemed hopeless 17 until I entered God’s sanctuary.Then I understood their destiny.18 Indeed, you put them in slippery places;you make them fall into ruin.19 How suddenly they become a desolation!They come to an end, swept away by terrors.20 Like one waking from a dream,Lord, when arising, you will despise their image.21 When I became embitteredand my innermost being was wounded,22 I was stupid and didn’t understand;I was an unthinking animal toward you.23 Yet I am always with you;you hold my right hand.24 You guide me with your counsel,and afterward you will take me up in glory. 25 Who do I have in heaven but you?And I desire nothing on earth but you.26 My flesh and my heart may fail,but God is the strength of my heart,my portion forever.27 Those far from you will certainly perish;you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.28 But as for me, God’s presence is my good.I have made the Lord God my refuge,so I can tell about all you do."WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagram

Holding onto God

This week, we look at who we should bring our concerns and desires to God in prayer. This is something that God wants us to do and he delights in granting our prayers. We also spend sometime exploring unanswered prayer.Matthew 7:7–12 (CSB)“Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Who among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him. Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagram

Joy Always: Psalm 126

 Looking today at Philippians 4:4–7.Is Joy is one of those things that you either feel or you don’t? How can we rejoice when;Life is hard? When things aren’t going how we want/expect them to go?When we are dealing with struggle?Or how as a church can we always find a reason to rejoice, patricularly when things aren't going as smoothly as we would hope?When there is conflict?When people come and go.We tackle this question by walking through this passage this morning.WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagram

Joy? How?

On this Easter Sunday, we reflect upon how God doesn't play favourites; In Jesus death & resurrection we see that God makes a way for all people to come to him. Acts 10:34-43WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagram

Listen & Receive

This week, Pastor Jared walks us through Jesus wilderness temptation from Luke 4:1-13.Pastor Jared helps us understand the background of what is taking place and what echoes we hear from the Old Testament. We see how Jesus dealt with temptation, by looking at three different temptations described by Luke, and then we will reflect upon how we might implement these in our lives.WebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagram

Jesus Wilderness Temptation

Looking at 2 Corinthians 3:1-12, we look at how hope enables us to be bold in our witness to others.http://www.manobaps.comhttp://facebook.com/manobapshttp://twitter.com/manobapshttps://www.instagram.com/manobaps

Boldness through Hope

Looking at Genesis 45, recapping the story of Joseph and seeing the way that God has been at work through the whole story. We see through Jared's message that;God’s purpose is sovereignGod’s purpose can create a real newnessGod’s purpose is utterly graciousGod’s purpose is hidden and mysteriousNo matter where you find yourself in the story of God’s narrative, know that it is a long way from finished!http://www.manobaps.comhttp://facebook.com/manobapshttp://twitter.com/manobapshttps://www.instagram.com/manobaps

The Purposes of God

Looking at Hebrews 2:14-18, and looking at how Jesus can help us. This passage from Hebrews is the reason for so much hope and joy, because of what it confirms to us about who Jesus is.We see that Jesus is able to help us in every situation.We see through Jared's message that this is so because;Jesus was & is human;Jesus defeated death;Because of this, he is uniquely positioned to help us.http://www.manobaps.comhttp://facebook.com/manobapshttp://twitter.com/manobapshttps://www.instagram.com/manobaps
