Lake Mac Evangelical Church

Question time included at end. As we dig into this next chunk of Revelation we again see the weight of God's wrath, and here we're challenged to consider if this wrath is just or even worth celebrating and what we're to do as we wait for it's arrival.

(Question time included at the end). Over the past few weeks we've been struck by the difficulty of the life those who follow Jesus will face, tonight we ask is it worth it? What's coming for those who follow Jesus, and what about for those who don't? As we look we'll see a confronting picture of God's wrath and feel the weight of it, but we'll also get a glimpse of the rest that's on offer if we...

This week we see the woman and the dragon, along with the beast of the land and the beast of the see. But does it all mean for us? We'll see that there's a spiritual reality behind the universe that is part of what makes the Christian life hard, but we'll also see that the battle has already been won! - Question time included at the end

We take a break from our current series through Revelation to spend a week thinking about the necessity of being people who share Jesus, as well as thinking practically how we can do that 'without making it weird!' ** Question time included at the end of the recording.

Today as we look at the Trumpet Blasts; the prophet and the witnesses we’ll be asking why doesn't God reveal himself more clearly?

With desolations sweeping through this world and more to come - how do we prepare? Where can we find security?

This week we continue you look behind the curtains at the Throne room of God and we ask with John, 'who is worthy', we discover that the lion who is a lamb is the only one who's worthy and what that means for us now and into eternity.

When you compare the letters to Smyrna and Laodicea it becomes clear that wealth is a far more dangerous position than poverty and persecution! We look at what it means to be Luke warm, and the hope that Jesus offers in repentance as he stands at the door and knocks!

This week we examine the letter to the church in Sardis, a church whose greatest danger was no danger at all. We'll also see that we face the same danger, living in a culture where it's relatively easy to be a Christian.

The most dangerous enemy doesn't always come with a frontal attack, rather we find the danger in the temptation to compromise, we examine the letters to Pergamum and Thyatira to see what the danger of compromise looked like for them and we'll question where might we be tempted to compromise today.

The church in Ephesus in many ways is a model church, they've laboured and endured and haven't tolerated evil, working hard against false teachers, but in this crucial letter from Jesus to the Ephesians, he tells them he has this one thing against them they've abandoned the love they had at first. As Jesus presents them with a choice we too need to come along for the ride and make sure that we lis...

Here we see John (and us) come up close to a bigger and more incredible picture of Jesus than we've seen before, and in doing so, we're forced to acknowledge the significance he needs to have in our lives.

Our very first in our series through Revelation. As we kick off the series we think about how we go about understanding what is a typically difficult book to wrap our heads around, and we'll see the blessing that can come from spending time in such a great book!

Our final sermon in our Matthew series and here we're challenged with the proof of all that Jesus has said along with the simple application that should drive all we do as Christians. It's a passage we know well, so it's easy to let it's vast significance pass by us, so hook in and be changed by these important truths!

In our second last week of Matthew we get a close look at Jesus' final moments on the cross, this monumental moment in human history. And we'll ask how important was this moment and what did it really achieve?

This week Jesus arrives on the cross via many hands, but who is responsible and who are we most like? We ask hard questions of who's responsible as we grapple with the trauma the Jesus endured on the cross.

In this passage we see two trials play out, one official with Jesus, one unofficial with Peter, though each have lots of similarities they have very different outcomes. These trials helps us to think about how will we stand firm when pressure comes to our faith.

We take a deeper look at this scene that so many of us are so familiar with and notice the depth of the anguish that Jesus experienced and as we do, we'll contrast his resolve with the disciples and ultimately all humanity's failure.

We look at a shorter section this week and see a simple but incredibly extravagant act by an unnamed woman. How will you respond to this lavishing on Jesus? The disciples think that the woman's behaviour was over the top and in doing so show us the danger of not seeing the value that rightly belongs to Jesus.

This week we continue to look at Jesus words on the future. Here we see three parables each helping us to prepare well, so that when the masters returns will be found ready for Him.

What does the future hold for those who follow Jesus? This is a passage that's had many different interpretations and divided many churches. But what does Jesus really say about the future and how should that affect our lives?

No one like hypocrisy and here after a number of heated exchanges with the Pharisees, things culminate here in Ch23, with Jesus scathing rebuke of the hypocrisy that has been so present in their lives. But what about us? What tendencies do we have toward hypocrisy and how can we make sure we never act the hypocrite.

Jesus often gives warnings to those who reject His offer, but what about people who’ve RSVP’d yes to heaven? Here in Matthew 22 Jesus gives a chilling warning, and also shows us how to secure our spot.

This passage marks the star of Passion week in Matthew gospel and along with his entrance into Jerusalem Jesus makes a bold statement about who he is. The question is how will we respond?

This week we see a series interactions through Matthew 20, and see more of Jesus back to front, first is last take on the world, and as we do it, we ask the question 'is God fair'? The answer may surprise you!
