Lindisfarne Anglican Church Podcast

In perhaps the trickiest part of Colossians Paul gives instructions for how we should live together in our homes. How do we understand these verses in the 21st century?

In Colossians 3 Paul gives some really good advice for how to live as a Christian: 1. Have a heavenly mindset 2. Put to death your old-self 3. Put on the new-self by, remembering who you are, being who you are, worshipping your King, and serving your King.

Paul instructs the Colossians in Col 2:6-23 to build their life on the foundation of Jesus as Lord. Nothing else should take them away from that or be added to it.

As Paul continues to introduce himself to the Colossian church he tells them that he is a suffering, commissioned, and hardworking servant of God. We too as Christians are commissioned to be gospel shares who will suffer and must work hard to share the good news trusting God's care.

After introducing himself and giving thanks to God for the Colossians' life-changing faith, Paul now moves to remind them about the centre of their faith, the supreme Lord Jesus! It's a useful reminder for us to make sure our picture of Jesus is big enough!

We begin our 7 weeks series in the book of the Colossians getting our head around why Paul wrote it, when he wrote it, and who he wrote it to. Then we look at his opening prayer for the church and what we can learn about how we should be praying for one another!

We continue our series looking at prayer in John 17 and the Lord's Prayer. What can we learn from Jesus' prayers? How do they shape our prayer life?

As we conclude our 6 week overview of the book of Isaiah we turn to the final 10 chapters of the book. Here Isaiah paints a picture of the future for God's people and all nations living under God's rule. That picture is begun through the ministry of the servant, Jesus, and is completed when Jesus returns. As Christians we continue to look ahead to God's promised future, but with the certainty of w...

In the latter parts of Isaiah, the means by which God will bring salvation to His people living in exile becomes clear. He will send a servant who will bring salvation through suffering for his people and paying the price for their sin. This servant promised was Jesus and we can come to him to receive God's refreshing life and salvation.

In the midst of God's people's deepest despair, God promises the hope of new life. Refreshing waters will flow that bring new life through God's faithful servant. We know this servant to be Jesus. Jesus is the gift that gives us hope in the midst of our worst times too.

In this sermon, we take an overview of Isaiah 13-39 and see how Isaiah warned of God's judgment but encouraged people with the hope of God's victory over evil when all would worship him on his holy mountain. This was a picture of the future Jesus has won for us on the cross which will be fully realised when Jesus returns and all who have chosen faith in God over faith in humanity will worship God...

It can be easy to give up hope when we're faced with all the problems in our world. The same could be said for God's people in Isaiah's day who were faced with the coming judgment of exile. Yet Isaiah has a message of hope in God that he encourages them with even in the midst of despair and judgment. Likewise, we too have hope in the promised child, Jesus who brings God's judgment and hope togethe...

This talk gives us an introduction to the Book of Isaiah, helps us to understand it's context, and then invites us to consider how we can trust God's justice.

We know that our houses need good foundations, or that trees need deep roots to survive and thrive, but rarely do we spend time thinking about the deep foundation or roots of our own lives. Every person needs deep spiritual foundations in order to survive and thrive. This sermon encourages you to build deep spiritual foundations in the word of God.

In Psalm 133 we have a beautiful picture of the power and purpose of unity among God's people. In this talk, Andrea shows us the beauty of unity amongst God's people and encourages us to strive for it.

Jesus finishes his final week teaching his disciples by showing them how though he's going he will be with them in a totally new and different way after his death and resurrection. Though the disciples then and now may face trouble they and us can take comfort in the good news that Jesus has overcome the world! Death is defeated! Jesus has won!

As Jesus continues to prepare his disciples for his departure he teaches them of the gift of the Holy Spirit whom He will send to be their Advocate to lead them and guide them and keep them close to Him.

In John 15:18-25, Jesus warns his disciples that they should expect that if they remain in Him then they will also be treated like He was treated by the world. Hated and persecuted. This sermon takes a look at Jesus' warnings to the disciples and thinks about how that applies to us, and how we should therefore live as Christians today in a world that may hate us for holding fast to the truth of th...

In John 15:1-17 Jesus encourages us to remain in him, the vine, the source of life and our only true connection to God.

As Jesus continues to teach his disciples and prepare them for his death he teaches them about why it's good for them that the next phase of God's mission is about to begin. That mission is the mission of God's people empowered by the Holy Spirit to tell people about Jesus.

In John 14 Jesus speaks some words of comfort to His disciples, He must go to His Father's house to prepare a place for them. They are confused and ask how can they get to this house? And Jesus responds by telling them that he is the way, the truth, and the life. He goes on to explain that seeing Jesus means they have seen God. We too can see Jesus as we put our faith in Him and experience his wor...

As Jesus continues to share a meal with his disciples they are confronted with the truth that one of them will betray and another deny Jesus. Peter especially is shocked at the news as he thinks he could never deny or betray his Lord. However, all of us like Peter are capable of betraying Jesus. Watch this talk to be challenged and helped to stay true to Jesus.
