The Life of David (Equip) | Lesson 5: David's Coronation

David is one of the most well-known Bible characters. Even the world knows about him, at least about the David and Goliath story. But do they really know how much David means to the biblical narrative, how much he stands not just as an example of what (and what not) to do, but as a pointer to Christ. David is the great king of Israel, but he is but a shadow of the true King. The world doesn't know this, but do you know this? In this class we'll take a close look at 10 events/aspects of David's life, what they mean, what we can learn and how each of them connects to Christ or the gospel.

The Flood (Part 2) | Genesis 8

On Sunday, 19 May Pastor Craig Baxter continued the series 'Genesis: God's Unveiling Plan of Redemption and Blessing' with 'The Flood (Part 2)' from Genesis 8.
Because the race was corrupt and filled with violence, the Lord destroyed it and its world with a devastating flood but used Noah, his righteous servant, to save creation and establish a new order after the judgement of the flood. God did this by commanding Noah to build an ark to house his family and two of every kind of animal. Noah obeyed God in everything and worshipped God as his first act after the flood. Noah sets the pattern for the people God saves and those that please Him. In this study we learn that the Lord saves the righteous from catastrophic judgement in order to establish a worshipping community.
The Lord remembers His people (v. 1a)
Because the Lord remembers his people:
we can wait patiently (vv. 1b-15)
we can obey confidently (vv. 16-19)
we must worship gratefully (vv. 20-22)

God's Grief Over a Wicked World | Genesis 6:1-8

On Sunday, 5 May Pastor Craig Baxter continued the series 'Genesis: God's Unveiling Plan of Redemption and Blessing' with 'God's Grief Over a Wicked World' from Genesis 6:1-8.
Genesis 6 begins the story of the single greatest disaster in all human history where God determines to wipe out the entire population of the world except Noah and his family. This was in response to the wickedness on the earth, in which angels and humans overstepped their bounds, committing unrestrained idolatry and fornication, and completely giving their hearts and minds to evil continually. However, within this depravity, Noah and his family were the recipients of God’s grace and were saved. In this lesson we learn that compromise toward sin leads to corruption that brings God grief and leads to His judgement for all who reject His grace.
 Sin starts with compromise (vv. 1-2, 4)
Sin leads to corruption (v. 5)
Sin deeply grieves God and brings His judgement (vv. 6-7)
God extends grace to the unworthy (vv. 3, 8)
