‘See the failures of the disciples of the Saviour’ (Luke 9:46-56)

The 12 disciples of Jesus were certainly a mixed bag - hot one day (think Peter saying 'You are the Christ) and cold the next (think their argument on the road to the cross as to which of them was the greatest!). In Luke 9:46-56 it seems that some pettiness in their minds and hearts came to the fore and out of their mouths....

‘See the ups and downs faced by the Saviour’ (Luke 9:28-45)

When Jesus went up high on the mountain in Luke 9:28-36, the disciples saw His glory revealed to them by God the Father. But when Jesus came down the mountain into the valley in Luke 9:37-45, He immediately encountered the impotence of the disciples to deal with the situation at hand. Once he has dealt with that, Jesus went on to explain again that He would suffer and die....

‘Meet the Lord God who brings His people safely through’ (Exodus 14:15-31)

The account of Israel's crossing through the Red Sea is quite stunning. Stuck on the western side of the Sea, crying out to God in anguish and despair, the people of Israel were in desperate straits. Pharoah and his armies had pursued them and all looked bleak...except for God. He had to act and He did - in a most powerful and amazing way - delivering His people…...

‘Meet the Lord God who saves His people’ (Exodus 14:1-14)

In Exodus 14:1-14, the people of Israel who have just departed from Egypt, find themselves in a very, very tricky situation. With Pharaoh and his armies in pursuit of them and impassable mountains to the left and the right, the people (who had been led clearly by God through pillar of cloud and fire) were sitting ducks! Naturally, their reolved and trust in the Lord fell apart....

‘Meet the Lord God who leads His people on’ (Exodus 13:17-22)

When the Lord God led His people Israel out of Egypt, there was an ongoing need for the people to be led the right way. They did not necessarily know the way that God was taking them nor was it explained to them. All they knew what that God had a plan for them, and that plan involved leading the people into further trouble....

A mother’s (costly) decision for her son…

As Mothers’ Day comes around again, it’s good for us to reflect on the story of Hannah, found in 1 Samuel 1:1-28. Faced with the difficulty of being the second of the two wives of her husband Elkanah (hardly a good situation to be in!) as well as not being able to conceive, this was probably enough for any young woman to either complain bitterly about her circumstances or at least seek the nearest exit from them....

‘Meet the Lord God who claims a people for Himself’ (Exodus 13:1-16)

In Exodus 13:1-16, the drama of chapters 7 to 12 of Exodus have passed by. The people of Israel are now free from the clutches of Pharaoh. Not yet completely free to 'do their own thing', but free to serve the Lord their God who led them out of Egypt into the desert regions in the direction of the Red Sea....

‘Hated by the world’ (John 15:18-16:4)

In this message, Ryan Smith (AFES worker at La Trobe Uni, Bendigo) shares how as the people of God, believers should expect to be hated by the world...because the world hates Jesus. It's hate by association. Jesus tells his disciples this in John 15:18-16:4 and he does this ahead of time so that those disciples won't be surprised and to help them persevere and not give up, either following Him, or sharing Him....

‘Meet the Lord God who judges but also saves’ (Exodus 11:1-12:51)

Exodus 11:1-12:51 details for us the tenth and last of the plagues that came upon Egypt. Of all the plagues this was the one that would really break Pharaoh's stubborn will and also his father's heart. The death of the first-born sons all throughout Egypt was a most dramatic event that the people of Israel would forever remember in the Passover feast they would hold every year that would bring themes of redemption through the blood of the lamb and deliverance from slavery to mind - matters that God's people today see fulfilled through the death of Jesus, 'our Passover Lamb'....
