SIGNAL CHURCH CAPE TOWN

Mike Day:- This House Pt. 7: Sharing the Good News https://docs.google.com/document/d/10HIonfi_RfZE7UPuWGMVJAMLNVJtccmILHB6qoQAEWw/edit?usp=drive_link The church is a "good news community," defined by its gathered worship and its mission to share the gospel in daily life. Rather than just offering advice, the church proclaims the "Good News" of God’s victory through Jesus. This mission is not something the church does, but rather what the church is—a people called to demonstrate God's kingdom and make disciples of all nations as they go.

For the past few weeks we have been highlighting different serving teams across our church and different ways you can get involved. Last week Mike Sadie shared powerfully about how God has met him through serving. If you would like to find out more about serving at Signal Church, email hello@signalchurch.co.za

Brendan Carroll:- This House Pt.6: A theology of God’s closeness - What is the Gospel?https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PzpQQHAYe6mkyuuRwREbof5xxDJePuhb/view?usp=sharing The Gospel, or *Euangelion* ("good news"), is the central Christian message that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, lived a perfect life, died on a cross for humanity's sins, and rose again, offering salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life to all who believe. This message signifies the arrival of God's kingdom, promising restoration and reconciliation with God. The document further explains that this good news is personal, bringing "everlasting and ever-increasing joy" because Jesus has won the victory over sin and death.

Norman Parker:- This House Pt.5: The Big Story:- From Fulfillment To Completion https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Juo5hc440G79aU-AbKKtUb_F4YmkK4fh/view?usp=sharingKey Themes and Biblical References: Jesus our Apostle and High Priest: The message explores how Jesus is building His house. Hebrews 3:1 encourages believers to "fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest". Questions for reflection include what it means for Jesus to be our apostle and high priest, and what it means to share in the "heavenly calling". Passover and Pentecost: John the Baptist identified Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world". The one who sent John to baptize with water indicated that the one on whom the Spirit descends and remains will "baptise with the Holy Spirit". The Unique Relationship between Jesus and the Father (James Torrance): The center of the New Testament is the "unique relationship between Jesus and the Father". Through the Spirit, Christ presents Himself "on behalf of humankind" and draws people to participate "both in his life of worship and communion with the Father and in his mission". This relationship is interpreted through the Holy Spirit: Jesus is conceived, baptized, led, offers himself through the eternal Spirit on the cross, is raised by the Spirit, and receives the Spirit from the Father to baptize the church. Contrasting Mountains (Hebrews 12): The Mountain of Fear refers to the terrifying sight of Mount Sinai, with fire, darkness, and storm, where Moses trembled. The Mountain of Joy refers to Mount Zion, the heavenly Jerusalem, where believers have come to "thousands upon thousands of angels," "the church of the firstborn," and "Jesus the mediator of a new covenant". The Point of Pentecost (N.T. Wright): The overarching story of Scripture is not about humans going to live with God, but about "God's intention to come and live with us and even in us". Pentecost is the "homecoming of God," fulfilling the promise to "dwell in and with his People".

We had our first Team Sunday several weeks ago! Mike Day, our lead pastor shared on Signal’s culture of serving one another as a community of brothers and sisters, who make up God’s house. If you would like to find out more about serving at Signal Church, email hello@signalchurch.co.za

Shae Brown: Pt. 3 Prioritizing God's Presence This House: Prioritising God's Presence" is the outline for the third talk in the "This House" preaching series focused on what it means to be a dwelling place for God. The talk's goal is to move from the theological foundation of God's closeness to the practical application of concepts like "the presence" and "ministry to the Lord" within the church. Ultimately, it seeks to clarify what God's presence is, how to host and wait for Him, and how prioritising this "one thing" impacts every other aspect of the community. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ycs_ebxTXgEoll0J7sqjITZ0ZIROGpSX/view?usp=drive_link
