Thirsting For Christ (Psalms 42-43)

By Psalms, Talks

In Psalms 42-43, the Psalmist remembers times when he enjoyed God and praised his name, but mourned how that feeling had completely dried up. But in this state, he takes his soul to task: “Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise him, my Saviour and my God.” In this, we can see a picture of how he took a few steps forward in the darkness of depression; he talked back to his depressed soul, and reminded himself of the Gospel–the hope that one day he would be able to praise his Saviour and his God again.

The Goodness of Christ (Psalm 34)

By Psalms, Talks

David was troubled and fearful, but he prayed to God and God answered him in an incredible way. And in this Psalm, he calls us to join in the song of God’s goodness–his overflowing, satisfying, and enduring goodness. We’re called to taste and see that the Lord is good, and we can taste and see this best in Christ and his Gospel.

The Way of Christ (Psalm 1)

By Psalms, Talks

In our opening talk of our new Psalms series, Nick Brennan shows us how Psalms 1 is the gateway to all the Psalms. It gives us an image of the righteous man, flowing with life, that’s ultimately fulfilled in Christ. But when we trust in him, we are united with him, and this Psalm, as well as all other Psalms, become ours as well.

The True Temple (Revelation 21:9-27)

By Revelation, Talks

As we continue journeying through this vision of the new creation, we see that it isn’t only pictured as a city, but it’s also pictured as a temple. And if you journey through the big picture of the Bible, you’ll see countless ways that this theme of temple is brought together and fulfilled in this final vision. Because temple is all about presence, and God’s presence will finally dwell fully with his people, in this heavenly city-temple.

Great Expectations (Revelation 20)

By Revelation, Talks

In this passage, we see that until Jesus comes again, things will continue to get both worse and better. But in spite of the challenges and ambiguities, we can know three things: Because of Jesus, we don’t have to fear evil, we don’t have to fear death, and we don’t have to fear judgement.

Babylon (Revelation 17-19)

By Revelation, Talks

As we come to the final chapters of Revelation, we see a tale of two cities. The first is the city of the world, Babylon, the great prostitute, the mythical city of evil. Babylon is the symbolic city that’s existed across history, which has tempted Christians to turn away from their God. But in the view of this city, the call of Revelation is: “Come out of her, my people!”

666 (Revelation 12-14)

By Revelation, Talks

In these chapters, we watch a dark parody of the Trinity emerging from the darkness. We see Satan, the beast and the false prophet imitating the Father, Son and Spirit in many ways, in their efforts to deceive people and to attract worship. Jesus Christ gives us these words so that we’ll be aware of the spiritual realities happening all around us, so that we won’t be ignorant of Satan’s devices, and so that, ultimately, we will trust our lives to the power of the Lamb, who has already defeated all of these powers of evil on the cross.
