Join Pastor Jordan Farnum as he wraps up his 3 week series. We look at redefining what it is to care for one another in a biblical way. What scriptures tell us about what care looks like. We examine what it is to wrap around one another in care. To raise up one another and to be raised up be one another.

Join Pastor Jordan as he challenges us today and talks about the "WE" instead of "ME" within the Body of Christ. Yes, like the body, there are different individual parts. So too do we each have our own talents and strengths. But let's not forget to borrow and build on one another's talents as well, to ensure that they are used to serve a collective purpose, to serve t...

As Jesus makes his way into Jerusalem, he begins to weep over the city. Why does he shed tears during a triumphant entry? Jesus knows he will ultimately be rejected and Israel was pay a price for not recognising the time of God's visitation. As Christians, can we still miss God? How do our hearts play a role in recognising or rejecting His visitation? OBC website: https://www.orewabaptist.org...

In Luke 14, Jesus speaks a parable about a certain man preparing a great banquet and inviting many guests. When the invited guests don't arrive, the man's servants go out and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and lame. Afterwards, the servants go out into the roads and country lanes to compel people to attend the great banquet. Imagine the final banquet scene of this parable. Is...

Has modern Christianity in the West lost the sense of cost when following Christ? Jesus' words are clear, "If you want to be my disciple, you must, by comparison, hate everyone else - father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters - yes, even your own life". What does Jesus mean by "hate"? In this message, we're reminded of both the costly and the glorious...

Matthew is a story teller. In his gospel, Matthew retells the story of Israel in the first few chapters of his account of Jesus' life. Jesus is a greater, more faithful Israel.

A closing message in Malachi announces that an Elijah figure will arrive before God comes. Malachi instructs Israel how they should live while they anticipate His arrival. About 400 years later John the Baptist comes along and fulfills Malachi's prophecy. How did Israel respond to John's message and did they accept Christ as the Anticipated One? As we anticipate Christ's return, how...

John the Baptist was the forerunner to the Messiah. If God called someone to announce Christ's initial arrival, can we expect Him to raise up men and women to announce His second arrival?

In Luke 7, Jesus is in the home of a Pharisee when an immoral woman worships at His feet. How did Jesus use this interaction to teach the Pharisee? What does this story teach us today? One thing is certain, the story ends with a worshipper and a resistor. OBC website: https://www.orewabaptist.org.nz OBC Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@orewabaptistchurch6082

Jesus desires to reveal himself to His followers. Over time, Jesus led his disciples into a place of discovering him more and more and a few of Jesus' close followers saw His true glory during the Transfiguration. After His resurrection, Jesus joined 2 men who were traveling to Emmaus and revealed himself while sharing a meal with Him. Can communion help us discover Jesus more? OBC website: h...
