Passage: John 11:1-4

-------------------

A short sermon from Ps William from John 11. When the one you love is sick, only Jesus is our perfect counsellor.

Before we get into the Q&A panel, I want to preach very briefly from the story that we just heard the start of. In the story, notice how the story sits within two groups of men who argue about His identity and mission (v5–16, 45-53).

But let us zoom in to the two women (v17–20), and notice their two opposite responses to grief… despite saying the exact same thing to Jesus! 11:21 Martha, to Jesus: “Lord… If you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 11:32 Mary, to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” Identical, word for word!

To one troubled soul… Jesus taught… (v23–25). Yet to another troubled soul… Jesus wept… (v32–36). When would you teach? When would you weep? We need wisdom to know when to do which, yet Jesus the certified counsellor demonstrates there is a proper time and place for one or the other. Because he is our perfect Counsellor, he is the best person we can turn to with our troubled souls.

Because listen again to verse 4, where He says: “This sickness will not end in death… it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” So whether anxiety… or past trauma… whatever your lifelong condition, God has a plan for it not to end in death… do you believe this? May it then be for God’s glory.

Passage: Nehemiah 13:1-31

-------------------

Ps William preaching from Nehemiah 13.

The problems in Nehemiah 13:

Some people were too exclusive (v1–3)

Some leaders were too inclusive (v4–9)

The people abandoned their earlier vows (v10–22)

The leaders were also to blame (v17, 23–28)

Responding to the reality of sin:

Nehemiah’s limited response (v8–13, 19–22, 25–28)
Christ’s better response...
…so remember, pray, persevere in God’s promised King!

Our Solemn Vow (Nehemiah 9:38-10:39)

Series: United in Service (Ezra & Nehemiah)

Speaker: William HC

Date: 10th November 2024

Passage: Nehemiah 9:38-10:39

-------------------

Ps William HC preaching from Nehemiah 10.

In Nehemiah 10, Israel’s vows of repentance seem impressive for a time. But only Jesus’s vows of love and faithfulness will transform a people forever.

The motivation for Israel’s vows (9:32–38)

The extent of Israel’s vows (10:1–39)

the people (10:1–29)

the promises (10:30–39)

The shortcomings with Israel’s vows

Forgetting their Messiah (9:36)

Forgetting their mission (10:28-31)

For reflection:

Should Christians avoid marrying outside their nationality, or avoid working on Saturdays? What do you think is the enduring principle behind Israel’s vows for us to follow today?

How can you encourage your brothers and sisters to keep God’s King and His mission at the centre of our commitments?

Speaker: William HC

Date: 6th October 2024

Passage: Nehemiah 6:1-7:4

-------------------

Ps William HC preaching from Nehemiah 6:1-7:4.

In Nehemiah 6:1 – 7:4 we see:

Three personal attacks:

Public accusations (Neh. 6:1–9)
Deceptive invitations (Neh. 6:10–14)
Ongoing opposition (Neh. 6:15–19)

Two personal responses:

Don't be shocked – pray! (Neh. 6:9, 14)
Don't give up – persevere! (Neh. 7:1–4)

One perpetual truth: Fear God > people (Neh. 7:2, Prov. 9:10, 2 Cor. 5:9)

Good news… Christ was personally attacked for you. "The men who were guarding Jesus began mocking and beating him. They blindfolded him and demanded, “Prophesy! Who hit you?” And they said many other insulting things to him." – Luke 22:63–65

For reflection:

What personal attacks do you need God to strengthen you for right now?

Who are the enemies of God that you are afraid of today? What truths about God and His Son will help us to respond faithfully?

Speaker: William HC

Date: 29th September 2024

Passage: Psalm 88:1-18

-------------------

Ps William HC preaching from Psalm 88 for Mental Health Awareness Week.

Psalm 88 shows us:

Life can be dark – even God’s people admit it (v1–5, 15)

Life can be dark – but the LORD saves (v1, 9, 13)

Life can be dark – why are You behind this God? (v6–8, 16)

So why sing this psalm? (v10–12, 14)

to know we’re not alone in our lament
to learn it’s not always well in our lives
to hear His voice deeper in our darkness

For reflection:

Is it OK for God’s people to feel darkness? Why or why not?
Share a time you felt like you felt darkness or depression like Psalm 88 described. How were your thoughts similar or different to this psalmist?
How can we make PCBC a safe space for people to share their sorrows to the God who saves?

Our sovereign LORD is working in our suffering

Our sovereign LORD is abundant in his salvation

Not one of his treasures will be lost!

Ps William HC preaching on what the whole Bible says about "vibrant, multilingual congregations":

The pattern of God’s kingdombegins with a multilingual story.(Genesis 1–2)

The perished kingdom created sinful, multilingual congregations.(Genesis 3, Genesis 11)

The promised kingdom will bring vibrant, multilingual blessing.(Genesis 12:1–3, 15:1–6)

The partial kingdom should have been a vibrant, multilingual congregation.(1 & 2 Samuel, 1 Kings)

The prophesied kingdom will be a vibrant, multilingual congregation who hope in the Messiah.(e.g. Isaiah, Jeremiah 23, Psalm 67)

The present kingdom of Jesus Christ was declared to a multilingual congregation of witnesses. (Matthew 1, John 20:19–20)

The proclaimed kingdom gives birthto vibrant, multilingual congregations in Christ. (Acts 2:42–47, 15, 16:11–15)

Three attitudes as we proclaim His kingdom as PCBC:

be patient without compromise Because...
The perfected kingdom will be a vibrant, multilingual congregation in Christ! (Rev. 7:9–10)

Supernatural Spirit (v4-6): A supernatural church can only exist through the supernatural Godhead: Father, Son and Spirit displaying unity in diversity.
Supernatural Gifts (v7-11): The Holy Spirit shares different grace gifts for the common good of God’s church.

Pride comes before the fall! (v12)

BBQ at the temple? No. (v23-24)

Meat from the market for home? Yes. (v25)

A complex situation: dining with non-Christian and Christian friends (v26-30)

What is the impact on my Christian family? (Love > my knowledge)

What is the effect on non-Christians? (Gospel > my rights)

What is the effect on my spiritual life? (God’s glory > my freedom)
