"The story of the Bible is epic in scope! Bigger than most of us have come to terms with. And this Psalm is epic in scope as well. You have Israel praising God for his faithful love, but then you have all nations invited to join them in praise, and then even beyond that, you have creation itself - seas, rivers, mountains, and everything in them - praising God for his goodness and grace!" - Jonathan Smith -- "Gandalf! I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What's happened to the world?" 
A great Shadow has departed," said Gandalf, and then he laughed and the sound was like music, or like water in a parched land.." - J. R. R.

"This Psalm shows us where to go, what to do, how to think, what to pray whenever we face any kind of trouble. Whether it's the devastation of bushfires, or suffering in relationships, financial hardships, ill-health, you name it. This Psalm is an example to us of how to respond in troubling times." - Jonathan Smith -- 1.
What He Sees:

What He Believes:
Psalm 3:3-6 3.
What He Prays:
Psalm 3:7-8 -- "I have been accustomed to call [the book of Psalms]...

Jesus has been dead and buried for three days. The disciples are distraught and hopeless. Into this malaise, the Son of Man comes eating and drinking once more. Christ is risen, and he’s ready for dinner! The fact that Jesus continues to enjoy God’s gift of food post-resurrection proves the eternal significance of meals. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: Meals With Jesus Passage: Luke 24.13-48 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au/sermons -- 1.
Hidden Christ 
Luke 24:13-21 2.
Written Christ
Luke 24:27-32; 44-49 3.
Risen Christ 
Luke 24:30-43 -- "The risen Christ eats. The Son of Man came eating and drinking (Luke 7:34). And still the Son of Man eats. The physicality of Jesus is not cancelled by the resurrection. His humanity doesn’t morph into some ethereal existence. In the heretical Gnostic Gospels, written centuries after the resurrection, the risen Christ is a ghostly figure. But in the true Gospels, he can be touched. He can eat. And he does so publicly. The resurrection of Jesus i

Our story is the story of redemption through the sacrifice of a Lamb. Beginning with the Exodus from Egypt (Ex.12), and fulfilled in Jesus, our Passover Lamb (1 Cor. 5:7), Red Door participates in the story of redemption every week as we share Communion and remember the Body and Blood of Jesus. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: Meals With Jesus Passage: Luke 22.7-20 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au/sermons -- All glory be to thee Almighty God, 
our heavenly Father,
who of thy tender mercy
didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ
to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption;
who made there, 
by his one oblation of himself once offered,
a full, perfect and sufficient sacrifice,
oblation and satisfaction
for the sins of the whole world;
and did institute,
and in his holy gospel command us to continue,
a perpetual memory of that his precious death,
until his coming again. -- The story of the Red Door begins over 3000 years ago in the land of Egypt. The book of Exodus tells of the re

Under the Law, only the best kind of people are invited to eat together, but in the Kingdom, everyone is welcome. In fact, only the humble - those who know their great need for salvation - will accept God’s invitation to eat with him. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: Meals With Jesus Passage: Luke 14.1-24 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au -- Central to the political stability of the Empire was the ethics of reciprocity, a gift-and-obligation system that tied every person, from the emperor in Rome tot he child in the most distant province, into an intricate web of social relations... Expectations of reciprocity were naturally extended to the table. - Joel E. Green, “The Gospel of Luke (NICNT)” -- Most Jewish authorities [in Jesus’ day] said that no one who was blind, crippled, or lame could enter the temple... Documents from Qumran show that the Essenes sect interpreted Leviticus 21 to mean that the poor, the blind, the crippled, and the lame wouldn’t participate in the messianic ba

Who is this man? That’s the question on the lips of Herod as he grapples with the words and works of Jesus. In a desolate place, the humble and hungry find the answer. They experience Jesus as the fulfilment of the Prophets of the Old Covenant, and the promised Messiah of the New Creation. -- Preacher: Jonathan Smith Series: Meals With Jesus Passage: Luke 9.7-20 Subscribe: apple.co/2Jht9Cs More: www.reddoorchurch.com.au
