The Greatest Commandment

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Deuteronomy 6:1-9 — Standing between the wilderness and the Promised Land, Moses’ unifying call to the nation of Israel is not to service or obedience or fear, but love; to love the Lord with all their soul, might, and strength. Where our human nature so easily defaults to performance and earning, may we constantly return to this greatest commandment; to the passionate love of our Lord and Saviour above all other things.

Lessons From The Wilderness

Numbers 10:11-13, Deuteronomy 1:29-32; Isaiah 35:1-2,6-7, 41:18-20, 43:19-20; Psalm 84:5, 107:35-36 — Time and again throughout His ministry, Jesus drew His listeners to recall and learn from Israel’s wilderness season. Why? In the wilderness we see God’s faithful presence in the tension of the barrenness; His greater restorative purpose of which we are a part; and His extraordinary calling that plays out in the ordinary everyday. May we not shy away from the wilderness seasons of our own lives, but lean in to see our faithful God and the work He is accomplishing.

Where Is The Holy Spirit Today?

Acts 1:3-9, 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 13:1-3; Ephesians 3:14-21 — The work of the Holy Spirit is not always loud, intense, and obvious. And if we assume it is then we will miss what He’s doing. Jesus’ description of the Holy Spirit’s power does not revolve around signs and wonders, but rather the enabling of our effective witness to Himself - the Christ. Are we surrendered and receptive to this kind of power in the small moments of the everyday?

Throughout Scripture and in our lives today, we see that God uses the wilderness seasons as an integral part of His redemptive purposes - not to punish us, but to work in our hearts and reveal our ultimate need for Him.
