The Beauty Of The Cross

Spirited Word ·

2026/03/27

Send us Fan Mail 22 March 2026 We are walking through one of the four Servant Songs in that ‘5th gospel’- the book of Isaiah. We are in chapter 53, and we come across something new that has not been said so far by Isaiah. Isaiah has been telling us that God has a dilemma. He loves his people, but they are incapable of loving him back. This is not new. From the Garden to Noah to Abraham to Moses to king David and beyond, with kings and without kings, with land and without land, God’s people ha...

2026/03/18

Send us Fan Mail 15 March 2026 What does it mean to truly see? This Sunday we explore how the Light of the world opens our eyes - not simply to the world around us, but to Jesus himself. In John 9, Jesus heals a man who has never seen the light of day. Neuroscience tell us that this was a multiple-layered miracle. Not only did his optical equipment begin to work; but his neurones must have been instantly re-wired so that he could interpret what he saw. What follows is more than a miracle stor...

The Beauty Of The Cross: Part Two

Spirited Word ·

2026/03/10

Send a text 08/03/2026 There are four songs about this ‘Servant’ in Isaiah. We are in one of them in Chapter 53. Today's verses are pure gold for the Christian. They are like a golden neon sign beaming out a message of hope when we are at our very worst and when we are trying to be at our very best. Luther named these verses as describing something central, something foundational to the whole bible and to our whole life. He called this ‘the wonderful exchange’ where the ‘Servant’ takes our si...

The Beauty Of The Cross

2026/03/04

Send a text 01/03/2026 We are hearing the Prophet Isaiah as we hear Jesus go to that cross this Lent. Issiah is often called the ‘Fifth Gospel’ since the gospel writers draw so deeply from his poetic, colourful words about the Servant, whom they knew to be Jesus of Nazareth. We are seeking some depth and colour and new insight into the Jesus we already know by hearing the Prophet who foresaw his world-changing work seven hundred years before Jesus appeared. Isaiah’s ‘Servant’ is God’s solu...

Vision New

2026/02/17

Send a text It is Transfiguration Day again. It marks the beginning of the Lenten season now close. There is much in Matthew’s telling of the extraordinary events experienced by some rather overwhelmed disciples. One thing I notice this time around that it is a day of vision. Peter, James and John are privy to a moment of expanded magnificent vision of how things really are when God pull back the curtain on our very limited view of our lives – even just for one stunning moment. The vison give...

A Bigger Life

2026/02/10

Send a text 08/02/2026 Big questions come along in life. Things happen, things change, transitions come and with them, questions. Questions like: • What kind of person do you want me to be, God? • What kind of things do you want me to do, God? • What does God want my heart and life and directions to be centred on or shaped by the most? • How do I know that what I am living is God-pleasing, and right and true? God’s people were asking these kind of questions after they finally begun to recover...

Send us a text 2026-02-01 As Epiphany season draws to a close, we hear of the first happening post-birth even in Jesus’ young life – the day he was presented to the priests at the Jerusalem temple, in accordance with the requirements of God’s Law in the Old Testament. The day is often named ‘The presentation of Jesus’, for obvious reasons. But there is more than a simple ‘presentation’ going on. It is actually quite a big moment that says a lot about who Jesus is and what he will bring to the...

Send us a text We are hearing two voices to hopefully see and hear God speaking in a way that helps us receive the glory and splendour of what he did in being in that manger. Isaiah breaks into a glorious and splendid, good news word this morning. In his words that paint many pictures, he will try and break through our normal Christmas expectations to show us the glory and splendour of Jesus.

We are hearing the prophet Isaiah speak of this world-shifting event of “The Servant” arriving to serve the world in love some seven hundred years prior to it happening. We are hearing a Lutheran pastor and eventual martyr under national Socialist regime in WWII speak from his two Advents and Christmases in Tegel prison, Berlin, in 1943 and 44. Today we hear that God is mysterious. ...

Send us a text How do we cope with waiting? This week we hear that there is great value in our waiting. It is in waiting that we hear the invitation to let this Jesus in the manger into our lives. Will we let him into our various questions and troubles and needs? If we can and when we do, we can find the joy in believing in Jesus again. Pastor Adrian
