Now I want to say at the outset of this sermon that despite the fact that I have some bold things to say today, so far as I can see, the overall thrust of what I want to say should not necessarily offend anyone of Baptist convictions. Our subject today is not baptism in itself, rather it is something deeper, something on which I hope all of us will agree. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/is-baptism-a-load-of-rubbish http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/080127sa-64.mp3 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 18:33:50 CST Geoff Findlay The title of this sermon may appear somewhat provocative; our Baptist friends whom we have made endure this morning the so-called "baptism" of an infant may well be thinking to themselves: that's right - infant baptism is a load of rubbish. ... 40:52 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-dangerous-god http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/080127sp-64.mp3 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:13:52 CST Perry Blackmore 29:48 I wonder what your response would be if I were to stand up here & say: "I believe in euthanasia". Would you throw me out? I hope so! However, euthanasia is actually a good word; it just has a bad meaning and very bad practice attached to it. The word is from the Greek and literally means "good death". It is all about dying well. I believe in "dying well". My point is: Why should the devil have all the good words? He's hijacked it for his own evil agenda. But this word belongs to us; only Christians have a good death; only Christians die well. What does this mean? It is well demonstrated for us in the life and death of Jacob. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/dying-well http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/080120sa-64.mp3 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 23:59:03 CST Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 41:33 Corinth was not your ideal church. It was a cliquey sort of church; there was a party-spirit of one-upmanship; there was jealousy and quarrelling; they were blase about immorality; they were boastful of their enlightened liberty; they were proud of their spiritual gifts; and they had perverted the Lord's Supper to such an extent that Paul says "this is not the Lord's Supper" - He is not here. This is the church Paul is addressing in this letter. I just want to pick up on one key verse - 1 Cor 14:26. Let's try to work out how God wants us to take this; what He wants us to do with it. Particularly this matter of there being a personal vocal contribution from a number of people in the congregation. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/corinthian-worship-is-it-right http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/080120sp-64.mp3 Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:31:40 CST Geoff Findlay Corinth was not your ideal church.

I haven't, my time is yet to come. Some of you have been called to your parent's bedside, because they are dying. In our text, Jacob is in that bed, he is about to die. He called for his 12 sons and gave a prophetic pronouncement concerning their future for many generations yet to come. These things tend to run in families. What you say, what you do, how you live your life now, is likely to have an effect for your children and children's children, even for generations to come. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/twelve-sons-and-twelve-tribes http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/080113sa-64.mp3 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 18:30:38 CST Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 41:32 I'll start today on a sombre note. Imagine you go to the doctor for a routine check-up; he tells you that you have cancer. What would be your response? Would it send you into a wild panic? Or would you be thanking God for the advance notice? News like this has a way of focussing our mind on the things that really matter. One of my responsibilities as a pastor is to encourage and challenge each of us to think deeply, to reflect on our own life. What legacy will you leave behind? Your life now is a living legacy. What legacy are you living out now? What legacy are you passing on to your children? http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/a-living-legacy http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/080106sa-64.mp3 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 16:56:03 CST Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 38:49 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/too-good-to-be-true http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071230sa-64.mp3 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:23:29 CST Joshua Kuswadi 28:13 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-rich-young-ruler http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071230sp-64.mp3 Sun, 30 Dec 2007 05:57:27 CST Joshua Kuswadi 25:14 When I did a Google search for "O come, all ye faithful" at the top of the page were versions by Katharine McPhee (runner-up in last years American Idol, and this year rated by People magazine as one of the 100 most beautiful women in the world), and by Twisted Sister (a heavy-metal band who fuse shock tactics, a mood of rebellion and heavy make-up). Apparently these word "O come, all ye faithful..." are out there. People from all walks of life know them and enjoy them. But do they understand them? More to the point, do we understand them? http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/o-come-all-ye-faithful http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071225sa-64.mp3 Tue, 25 Dec 2007 21:52:23 CST Geoff Findlay When I did a Google search for "O come, all ye faithful" at the top of the page were versions by Katharine McPhee (runner-up in last years American Idol, and this year rated by People magazine as one of the 100 most beautiful women in the ... christmas 18:50 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/seminar-war-and-pacifism http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071216r0-64.mp3 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 21:27:47 CST Herman Fourie Christian Education 2007 44:50 Today I want us to take a bird's eye view of the next 11 chapters of Genesis, chapters 37-47. We're looking for the big picture - what is happening here in relation to God’s whole purpose with the human race, His whole scheme of redemption. It seems to me that the big picture here is the idea of "Into Egypt". The first question is: What is Egypt? What does Egypt represent? Is it not the world, the unbelieving world, the world without God, prosperous but without God? http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/into-egypt http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071216sa-64.mp3 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 21:33:17 CST Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 36:18 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/this-is-a-trustworthy-saying http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071209sp-64.mp3 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 05:04:34 CST Peter Gadsby 34:45 Crunch time has come for Jacob. It is Bethel or bust! Going where he wanted to go, setting up camp where he wanted to set up camp, was jeopardising not only his own life and his family, but the whole concept of the covenant people of God. The bottom line is that every man needs a spiritual home. Jacob needed a spiritual home. Jacob knew where he belonged, in Bethel, but he was not there. Bethel, the house of God is our spiritual home. It is where we belong. It is where we meet with God, together with His covenant people. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-house-of-god-is-home http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071209sa-64.mp3 Sun, 09 Dec 2007 23:32:14 CST Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 44:11 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-nazarene http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071202sp-64.mp3 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 21:33:12 CST Jim Jung 33:55 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/out-of-egypt http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071202sa-64.mp3 Sun, 02 Dec 2007 21:18:57 CST Jim Jung 41:07 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/serving-the-servants-of-the-servant-king http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071125sp-64.mp3 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 08:38:52 CST Sean Buttsworth 31:06 Genesis 34 is a unique chapter in all the Bible. Apart from the book of Esther & the Song of Solomon, I am told that it is the only chapter in all the Bible that makes no mention of God. Esther and the Song are full of God - His influence, His gracious providence, a living relationship with Him. But not so with Genesis 34. It is a godless chapter. So why did God put it here in the Bible? I find that intriguing. There must be a good reason. Let's go looking for the gospel in this godless chapter. I believe it is here. It is here by not being here. It is here by showing us the consequences when the gospel is ignored. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-godless-chapter http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071125sa-64.mp3 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 22:03:01 CST Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 28:15 Children's stories often end with the words, "and they lived happily ever after." It makes us feel good. We might have expected something like that at the end of Gen 33 with Jacob & Esau wonderfully reconciled. However, we turn the page and find one of the most disappointing chapters in all the Bible. It is full of rape, ransacking, murder and mayhem. And our hero, Jacob, is not the victim, rather he is implicated in it all. Why does this have to be in the Bible? I believe God is giving us a wake-up call about the consequences of compromise... http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/consequences-of-compromise http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071118sa-64.mp3 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 08:34:46 CST Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 23:49 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/seminar-diet http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071118r0-64.mp3 Sun, 18 Nov 2007 15:42:01 CST Perry Blackmore Christian Education 2007 43:20 "Blessed is the man whom God corrects." Blessed are the children who have parents who seek to correct their children following the pattern God uses for correcting them.

I am suggesting a very different meaning of the words "accommodating our children". I mean we are to know our children, to know their limitations, to know the differences between them, to know their strengths and particular weaknesses.

In many ways Jacob is like the prodigal son returning home repentant, and yet there are some significant differences as well. Esau is something like the forgiving father in Jesus' parable, and so is a picture of the forgiveness of God Himself. Yet Esau is described in the Bible as godless. We have much to learn here about reconciliation with our brothers. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/jacob-the-prodigal-son http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071028sa-64.mp3 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 22:27:21 CDT Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel 46:18 Neurologists tell us that when parents show affection to their babies and young children a flood of hormones is released in their brains. These develop pathways and networks in the child's brain, which help them to show affection to others. This is a good reason to show affection to our children, but there is an even better reason. We have the privilege of emulating to our children the affection that God shows to us as His children ... http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/affection-for-our-children http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071021sp-64.mp3 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 19:36:42 CDT Geoff Findlay Parenting with Promise 23:24 Jim Hogg was a lawyer in Texas in the late 19th century. His older brother, Tom, wrote a poem about the civil war in which the heroine was Imogene, or Ima for short. Jim was so taken by the story that when his first daughter was born he named her after the heroine - Ima. When Jim's father-in-law heard what they were calling his grand-daughter he made an emergency visit. However he arrived too late, the "christening" had already taken place. She was named "Ima Hogg." So, what's in a name? There can be quite a lot. So it was for Jacob ... http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/whats-in-a-name http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071021sa-64.mp3 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 21:05:16 CDT Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel jacob,names 35:55 Imagine that you are alone, walking down a dark alley in the middle of the night, surrounded by shadows, with all sorts of fears crowding in on your mind, not the least being a guilty conscience concerning your brother whom you have defrauded. Suddenly, someone or something knocks you to the ground, and seeks to pin you there under his weight. This is what it was like for Jacob. He was assaulted. Who is it? Is it Esau? http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-unequal-wrestle http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071014sa-64.mp3 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 06:55:23 CDT Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel jacob,israel 41:32 Perhaps you have found that children often have a keen sense of justice. If Mum has cooked chips for dinner, children can be very discerning about how many chips are on someone else’s plate as compared to their own. What we parents need to realise is that it is God who has given them this keen sense of justice, and He has given it to them for a reason. It may not be the reason for which they use it, but a keen sense of justice is intrinsically good as a gift of God. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/accountability-with-our-children http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071014sp-64.mp3 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 18:01:55 CDT Geoff Findlay Parenting with Promise accountability,children 17:12 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/unity-in-the-body-of-christ http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071007sp-64.mp3 Sun, 07 Oct 2007 05:34:23 CDT Steve Coleman unity 38:51 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/christian-giving http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/071007sa-64.mp3 Sun, 07 Oct 2007 02:51:54 CDT Perry Blackmore giving,tithing 47:58 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/be-quiet-get-to-work http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070930sa-64.mp3 Sun, 30 Sep 2007 23:27:47 CDT Roger Wilson Wisdom for Living laziness,work,foolishness 36:13 Should our acceptance of our children be "unconditional"? Should our love for our children be "unconditional"? You might have a yes or no answer already; but I want us to understand why the answer is whatever you think it is. This is a deep issue, a heart issue, it takes us into the very heart of God to find the answer. Our parenting is to be a reflection of God's parenting of us as His children. So first we need to answer the question, Does God accept us "unconditionally"? http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/accepting-our-children http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070930sp-64.mp3 Sun, 30 Sep 2007 05:40:01 CDT Geoff Findlay Parenting with Promise accepting,children 30:42 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-two-kingdoms http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070923sa-64.mp3 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 21:32:11 CDT Peter Gadsby 37:45 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/facing-the-giants-that-defy-god http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070923sp-64.mp3 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 04:44:48 CDT Herman Fourie david,goliath,giants 36:59 "Alluring" is a word normally used in the Bible to describe the seductiveness of sin. However in Hosea 2:14 God is said to allure His people to Himself. He not only commands us to repent and believe, He entices us with the wonderful attractiveness of the gospel. This is a pattern for us as parents to allure our children, to win their hearts. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/alluring-our-children http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070916sp-64.mp3 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 22:21:28 CDT Geoff Findlay Parenting with Promise parenting,children,alluring 24:53 Nobody likes going backwards. But Jesus says that sometimes we have to go backwards in life in order to move forward. He says "If you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift." It was like this for Jacob. Before he could go forward into the Promised Land he had to go back and put something right with his brother Esau. Maybe we need to revisit an Esau from our past. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/when-the-way-forward-is-backward http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070916sa-64.mp3 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 22:19:14 CDT Geoff Findlay Jacob & the gospel offence,jacob,esau,reconciliation 49:06 http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/poverty-and-social-justice http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070909r0-64.mp3 Sun, 09 Sep 2007 08:44:52 CDT Dave Mclennan Christian Education 2007 poverty,social_justice,compassion 41:10 Note: due to technical problems, the sermon audio MP3 is not available.

What if you were someone else? Why am I who I am? What makes me me? Is it chance, or is it God? This question is prompted by what seems to me the key verse of our text: v42, "If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would surely have sent me away empty-handed."

There are deals, counter-deals, broken-deals, breeding sticks, randy sheep and goats, genetic engineering, and dreams. It all makes for an interesting story, but why is it in the Bible?

By this they mean "a state of happiness based on a false hope." It exists only in the minds of fools. So we have our question tonight: Is heaven just a fool's paradise? I want to start with the answer you were not expecting - yes - heaven is a fool's paradise.

"God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable, in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth." There are 7 communicable attributes listed here, which lead to 7 corresponding attitudes our Father God has towards us as His children, and which we can seek to emulate in our parenting of our children. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/attributes-and-attitudes http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070805sp-64.mp3 Sun, 05 Aug 2007 10:36:50 CDT Geoff Findlay Parenting with Promise parenting,attitudes 12:56 I must admit that I have never seen the TV show 'Desperate Housewives', and from what I've read about it, I don't think I ever want to.

You hit the ball away from you, then it comes around and hits you in the back of the head. What goes around... comes around!

I love my children as my own soul, but I do not always parent them from my heart. I sometimes fail to exercise my own heart - exercise in the sense of a spiritual sweat and a pounding heart. I often fail to really engage their hearts. Parenting is all about seeking a meeting of hearts. We are aiming for parenting that is from heart to heart. http://www.sermoncloud.com/wpc-belconnen/the-heart-of-fathers-and-mothers http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/274/070708sp-64.mp3 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 10:33:20 CDT Geoff Findlay Parenting with Promise parenting,heart,parents,love 15:47 The overwhelming encouragement from our text today is that no matter how dysfunctional our family may be at times, God's purposes cannot be derailed.

Our great danger is to describe worship as we want it to be, and then rename it "worship as God wants it to be".

EmployeeSurveys.com says: "There are few things that employees resent more than favouritism.

Of course we do. God has told them to. God also desires that we obey Him. But how does He do it?

I am left feeling somewhat sad that my marriage with my wife will not continue in heaven. Heaven doesn't sound so good after all! I think Jesus is telling me that I have missed the point.
