Bible Teaching From Robertson In The Nsw Southern Highlands

A healthy marriage will be one characterised by humility and true repentance. As we continue through the story of Hosea and his marriage to an unfaithful wife, we are taught again of what must characterise our relationship with God.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! In Hosea we see the 8th century prophet living out the amazing story of God's grace. This reflects the love God has for his adulterous people, and us.

Hosea 2:14-13 by Robertson Anglican Church

Hosea 2:2-13 by Robertson Anglican Church

God's people have rejected Him. They have been unfaithful. He wants to call them back, but words alone will not get the message across. The prophet Hosea is called to 'act out' the Father's love for his adulterous people. This is the first in our new series on Hosea, a book of judgement and hope.

There are times when as Christians in our faithlessness our hearts lose hope. When God's rule and relevance is openly challenged. When even leaders and politicians, in open rebellion, plot against God. What is God doing and why does He let it continue? Psalm 2 addresses this very question.

What does it mean to choose a life that is blessed and where do we find our strength.

This is the final week looking at Paul's first letter to the young Thessalonian church, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28. We see that through the growth of faith, hope and love, Jesus brings about genuine change in the hearts of His people.

Paul continues his letter to the Thessalonians encouraging them to live in the light of the return of Jesus. Here in chapter 5:1-11 he teaches the young church more about the return of Jesus, exhorts them to get ready for the return of Jesus, and asks them to encourage one another as they await that day.

We continue through Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians in chapter 4, verses 13-18. Our idea of what will happen when we die is not one of wishful thinking, or a 50/50 chance. It is a sure and confident hope based in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

How are we to live as Christians? How should our behaviour reflect our identity in Christ? We get stuck into 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 which gives clear teaching on sex, relationships and our work.

How do we please God? How should our behaviour reflect our identity in Christ? Paul speaks specifically in 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 to sex, relationships and work.

We continue our journey through the first letter to the Thessalonian church in 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:13. This passage brings up some challenging questions on the person of Satan and the nature of temptation.

From 1 Thessalonians 2:13-16 we see why the Bible is so relevant and how this Word of God works in us.

From 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 we look at Paul's motivation, his sacrifice and behaviour. We see what it is to be "In Christ" and live lives worthy of God.

We start a new series this week working through the first letter to the young church in Thessalonica. We are introduced to an extraordinary gathering.

In this final part of our series we look at the eyewitness account of the healing of a paralytic man.

In this eyewitness account of Jesus miraculously feeding the 5000 in Mark 6:30-44, we learn a lot about priorities. The Kingdom of God comes before food and rest.

In this eyewitness account of a strange two part miracle in Mark 8:22-26, we are challenged as to how we "see". Are we blind, see in part, or see clearly. Do you have eyes that recognise Jesus, the Son of God.

In this eyewitness account from Mark 4:35 - 41 we meet Jesus, the Lord over chaos who can calm a raging storm with a word. It is by His word, like the disciples that day, by which we are saved.
