I, Me, Mine
May 25, 2020 00:00 - 34.2 MBIn this seventh week of Easter, the Rev. David Pileggi continues sharing from the Acts of the Apostles. Our western worldview, featured in the Beatles’ last recorded song “I Me Mine," puts the self in the center of all things and has become a dangerous impediment today to living out the gospel and being witnesses of that new life found through the death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus of Nazareth. Pileggi address the need for unity and challenges the usual view of unity derived from the...
Deuteronomy 6:1-12 - Bible study
May 19, 2020 00:00 - 80.3 MBIn Deuteronomy 6, Moses calls attention to the ‘One Command’; the one ruling principle amongst all others. The Hebrew is an emphatic statement in single form, this is ‘The Commandment!’, the greatest of commandments that God is telling Moses to teach the Israelites. Moses reminds us all that hearing the Voice of God and learning His instructions (Torah) should give us a healthy fear and awe of the Lord. Fear of the Lord, the wise man once said, is the beginning of wisdom. Wisdom leads to obed...
The time of ignorance has ended
May 18, 2020 00:00 - 29.3 MB17 May 2020 - On this sixth week of Easter, the Rev. David Pileggi tells us how Acts fits into the overarching narrative of the Bible: out of love, God creates the world and desires to come into relationship with humanity. But humanity has rebelled. We choose idolatry -- finding our identity and security in some thing, ideology or person -- and thereby we choose death. Paul sees the effects of this disastrous choice in the Athens of his time. God's message to Athens then and for us today is t...
Deuteronomy 5 - Bible study
May 13, 2020 00:00 - 80.8 MBMoses has called the assembly together, most likely addressing the elders, tribal leaders and representative heads of each of the communities, thus calling it ‘all Israel’. He proceeds to retell the Laws and Judgements of God, beginning with the 10 Commandments. The people of Israel have already received the Commandments from Mout Sinai, as recorded in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers. Yet those people have since died in the wilderness and the rest apparently have forgotten the instructions (Tor...
Called From, Called To & Called For
May 10, 2020 00:00 - 24.1 MB10 May 2020 - Canon Daryl Fenton, in the fifth week of Easter, shares how the earliest disciples in Acts responded to God’s call through Messiah Jesus, and considers its implications for us today. Readings: Acts 7:55-60; Psalm 31; John 14:1-14 Blessed by our teachings?

Deuteronomy 4:32-49 - Bible study
May 06, 2020 00:00 - 67.8 MBWhat sort of Bible did the Israelites have since they left Egypt? Written texts were still in the formative stages using paleo Hebrew, not the Persian script of modern Hebrew. Biblical stories remained in the Oral tradition. Moses asked the Israelites to think back on the stories of Creation, the first men and the miracles leading to the Redemption from Egypt. Rhetorically, Moses challenged them to ponder ‘has God ever done anything like this for any other people?’ Led by Aaron Eime. Notes...
Salvation unto a Community
May 03, 2020 00:00 - 20.2 MB3 May 2020 - In this fourth week of Easter, Deacon Aaron Eime shows us how we are called into a community. Peter exhorted the people of Israel to flee their corrupt generation -- but not to wander alone in the wilderness of individuality, but to rejoin the people of God in the unity of the Spirit and of Faithfulness. Acts 2 reveals that the unity of the early followers of Jesus was demonstrated through their communal behavior. Living as a disciple of Jesus MUST be done in the framework of a c...
Deuteronomy 4:9-31 - Bible study
April 29, 2020 00:00 - 81.2 MBThe command to remember is the most common command in the Bible. God asks us to remember more times than any other command. In Verse 9 Moses charges the people not to forget the things they have seen with their eyes, but also not to forget from the heart. Moses continues to draw focus to the intention of the heart. This is central to his commentary to the Torah and a major theme of Deuteronomy. Led by the Aaron Eime. Notes for this study can be found at http://www.christchurchjerusalem.org/...
How can we be saved from this crooked generation?
April 27, 2020 00:00 - 26.7 MB26 April 2020 - The Rev. David Pileggi shows us that salvation, as presented in the book of Acts, is rich and nuanced. God takes the initiative through Jesus the Messiah to offer us forgiveness of sin and much, much more. Acts describes salvation as deliverance from Satan, idolatry, and present day troubles and as healing. In Acts 2, Peter's Pentecost sermon invites his listeners to be saved from their crooked generation. God extends that same rescue to us today. Readings for the third Sund...
Resurrection: A Life Without Fear
April 20, 2020 00:00 - 25.4 MB19 April 2019 - Rev. David Pileggi, discusses what brought about the transformation of the disciples from fearful cowards to courageous proclaimers of the gospel. Only when they encounter the risen Jesus does fear turn to joy, cowardice into boldness, doubt into belief. The peace that Jesus gives in the upper room to his disciples is the same peace he gives to us. This peace is nothing less than his enduring presence that enables us to be his witnesses without fear and anxiety. Readings for ...
Resurrection Sunday: And the fellowship of his sufferings
April 19, 2020 00:00 - 45.9 MB12 April 2020 - Rev. David Pileggi leads us through the Resurrection of Jesus and what it means for us in the modern day as His disciples from the roof of Christ Church. He is risen! He is risen indeed, hallelujah! Blessed by our teachings? Consider saying thank you with a small (or large) donation. www.christchurchjerusalem.org/donate/
Holy Saturday: Creation, Love, Redemption
April 18, 2020 00:00 - 23.2 MB11 April 2020 - Deacon Aaron Eime traces for us our role of participation in the narrative of Jesus’ death and resurrection, from the beginning of Creation through Abraham and the Prophets and up until the events of Holy Week.

Good Friday: Tikkun Olam - Healing the World
April 17, 2020 00:00 - 37.8 MB10 April 2020 - Rev. Daryl Fenton begins with the Hebrew phrase, ‘Tikkun Olam, Healing the World’, and how it has undergone many different changes in meaning throughout the years. How is this idea of Jewish theology relevant to Easter? As our world is within the grip of pestilence, how do we heal our world? In a sentence, “Healing the World cannot be accomplished without Jesus first healing the human heart.” Blessed by our teachings? Consider saying thank you with a small (or large) donation...
Maundy Thursday: Jesus, Judas, Peter & Me
April 16, 2020 00:00 - 16.8 MB9 April 2020 - Rev. David Pileggi gives us the narrative of Jesus’ capture, Peter’s zealous and overconfident attitude and Judas’ corruption and the betrayal of Jesus to the authorities. As followers of Jesus we all have the capacity of being either a Judas or a Peter. Blessed by our teachings?

Palm Sunday: Hope of the world, save us!
April 05, 2020 00:00 - 19.3 MB5 April 2020 - On Palm Sunday, Rev. Aaron Eime reminds us that the world still marks the passing of time by the life of Jesus of Nazareth. In this strange time of quarantine and social distancing, we will mourn Jesus' death, but not in vain, knowing that resurrection is coming. At the start of Holy Week, we remember with excitement and jubilation the entrance of the promised king into Jerusalem. Hosanna! the crowds shout. Save us! The world right now particularly knows it needs salvation. Yet...
Deuteronomy 4:1-8 - Bible study
April 01, 2020 00:00 - 49.4 MBHaving concluded the historical narrative opening of his monologue (Chapters 1-3), Moses begins the commentary to the Torah. He starts by telling the assembly to hear (shma), that is to listen and obey the laws he is about to teach. However, they already have had Moses declare and teach the Torah at Mount Sinai. Here, though, in verse 1 what Moses instructs is not called Torah. These laws are conditional to taking possession of the Land and to Live! Which then begs the theological question: i...
Eternal life before death
March 29, 2020 00:00 - 27.8 MB29 March 2020 - Rev. David Pileggi, on the fifth Sunday of Lent, asks us if we have sold ourselves short in how we read Ezekiel's story of the dry bones. In Ezekiel, the Land of Israel is polluted with the sin of the people and the land vomits the people out into exile. Even in this dark period, God does not divorce Israel but rather renews the covenant and promises Israel new life. God promises a renewed intimacy with his bride. But is this story of resurrection, as well as the Gospel story ...
Deuteronomy 3 - Bible study
March 25, 2020 00:00 - 48.6 MBWhile avoiding mention of Balaam the prophet of Moab (Numbers 22-24), Moses reiterates the victory over Og the King of Bashan. Traditionally Og is the brother of Sihon, and they are descendants of the fallen Angel Shemhazai. The repeated references to the Refaim shows that God can assist Israel to defeat this race of fearsome warriors. This part of sacred history is not pleasant for the modern reader. It records the slaughter and extinction no prisoners) of a race of peoples, men, women and c...
David and Saul: Lessons From Two Tragic Lives
March 23, 2020 00:00 - 22.7 MB22 March 2020 - To be human in this fallen world is to want more: more power, more control, more security. The number one sin people confess to, tells us Rev. David Pileggi, is fear and anxiety. We see these cravings for power and control in the tragic lives of Saul and David. Both Saul and David begin their reign well but soon succumb to temptation. At this time of worldwide threat, we also crave more control and more security. The time presents us with an opportunity to examine ourselves, t...
Deuteronomy 2 - Bible study
March 18, 2020 00:00 - 50.6 MBStanding on the plains of Moab, Moses continues recounting the wanderings of the people through the 38 years in the Wilderness. Moses notes how careful God was in directing Israel away from other nations. Israel was not a conquering army able to take whatever land they wanted. Instructed to tread carefully within the territory of Esau, Israel was also commanded to purchase supplies of food and water and pay for those services. Why? Why bother purchasing food when the Lord provides manna? Or w...
Psalm 95: Do not harden your heart in a time of fear
March 17, 2020 00:00 - 22.2 MBOn the third Sunday in Lent, Rev. David Pileggi walked us through Psalm 95, which is about the enthronement of God. Why are we enthroning God? Because He is the only God. He deserves our worship not only for who He is but also for what He has already done. The psalm references Exodus 17, when the children of Israel forgot God's faithfulness and questioned his presence. Sin entered their hearts, deceived them so they lacked faith and gratitude. We must be careful that we do not harden our hear...
Deuteronomy 1:29-46 - Bible study
March 12, 2020 00:00 - 51.1 MBMoses admonishes the Israelites in their unwillingness and rebellion against the command to invade the Land of Canaan. Despite all that God had done for them during the Exodus, despite the witness of miracles and manna, and even His presence in the Mishkan, the Israelites conclude that because of Giants and powerful fortifications, the Lord actually hates them. What does this comment about us and our own hopes, dreams and trust in God for the future? Moses reminds them of God’s care by descri...
Called to submit to the Kingdom of Heaven
March 09, 2020 00:00 - 23.3 MB8 March 2020 - On the second Sunday of Lent, Rev. Aaron Eime has us consider the calls and slow obedience of Abram and Nicodemus. God calls those of us in the Kingdom to obey his commands, to love him and those around us. Maybe our start maybe slow, but if we persevere, the end will be glorious. Readings: Genesis 12:1-4; Psalm 121; John 3:1-17 Blessed by our teachings? Consider saying thank you with a small (or large) donation. www.christchurchjerusalem.org/donate/
What happened in the Garden did not stay in the Garden
March 03, 2020 00:00 - 34.7 MBThe tradition of the first Sunday of Lent is that we begin to think about the death and resurrection of Jesus and his journey to Jerusalem and his temptation in the wilderness. The temptations that Jesus faced are very often the very things that we ourselves have to endure and the challenges we face in our discipleship and walk with the Lord, challenges that parallel those of Adam and Eve in the garden and of Israel in the wilderness. Rev. David Pileggi expounds, showing us that what happened...
Deuteronomy 1:9-29 - Bible study
February 25, 2020 00:00 - 50.7 MBMoses continues his lengthy monologue to the uncircumcised nomadic masses that assemble before him on the plains of Moab. He declares that the people are as numerous as the ‘Stars of Heaven,’ an allusion to God’s promise to the patriarch Abraham in the Book of Genesis. This is presented as a positive blessing from the Lord with the added invocation for a further increase in population, up to a thousand fold. In his retelling of the appointment of leaders to share the burden of command, spec...
Matthew 17: Fire on the mount - Moses, Jesus, and the Glory of Israel's God
February 24, 2020 00:00 - 26.2 MB23 February 2019 - Liturgically, on the last Sunday before Lent, we read the story of the transfiguration of Jesus. This is an important transition in the life of Jesus as it is from this point that He begins to talk in terms of “I must go to Jerusalem, be crucified and be raised from the dead.” For Jesus, it is seen as God’s way or reassuring him that in the face of death, He will not be left to rot in the grave. We can then ask the question, “What has this to do with us?” Rev. David Pileggi...
Deuteronomy 1:1-8 - Bible study
February 18, 2020 00:00 - 49.8 MBWelcome to our Deuteronomy Bible study. Join Rev. Aaron Eime as we start to walk through the fifth book of the Torah, which makes commentary on the previous four. Deuteronomy is quoted or alluded to more than 100 times in the New Testament. reflecting its popularity during the second temple period. Moses is the traditional author of the Book on Deuteronomy, with an unknown author and redactor adding the account of the death of Moses and presumably other sections of the Torah. Jewish traditi...
Matthew 5: Why be afraid of holiness?
February 17, 2020 00:00 - 32.7 MB16 Feb 2020 - Last week David Pileggi touched on holiness in the context of the Sermon on the Mount. As we study the Bible we see that not only is God holy, but holiness gives life and is very attractive. It empowers each one of us and yet is mysterious at the same time. There is a certain paradox about holiness. It is described in the scriptures as being like a fire. Holiness is good and also dangerous and like fire. It should fascinate us. Readings: Leviticus 19:1-19; Matthew 5:21-48 Bles...

Matthew 5: Jesus, the Torah, & Beyond
February 12, 2020 00:00 - 31.7 MB9 February 2020 - Rev. David Pileggi has us consider the place of Torah in the life of the believer. Jesus says he hasn't come to cancel Torah (God's instruction) but to interpret it for us. The Torah is good, but Jesus wants to take us beyond the Torah. Jesus is offering us transformation. The intention of God's word is to make us holy. How do we talk toward transformation? By being honest with Jesus about our moral bankruptcy and then following Jesus and imitating him. A sermon dedicated ...
Acts 28 - Bible study
February 07, 2020 00:00 - 53.1 MBAs prophesied by Paul, without losing a man, the crew and companions are washed ashore on the island of Malta. When Paul is bitten by a viper, he miraculously fails to fall ill and die, as would befit most snake victims. The incident catches the attention of a Roman official, for whom God, through Paul, performs a healing miracle. The community then brings all their sick for healing. Led by Rev. Aaron Eime. There will be one more session in which Aaron will give a finally overview of Acts. ...
Luke 2: Sharing the light and the glory
February 03, 2020 00:00 - 29 MB2 February 2020 - Rev. Aaron Eime, on the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus, has us consider how tradition can guard us and how Jesus identifies with our poverty. Mary and Joseph, following the traditions of second-temple Judaism, take Jesus to the temple 40 days after he is born. There Jesus' identity as the Anointed One is affirmed by two prophetic voices who had been faithfully waiting for God's promised light to the gentiles and the glory of Israel. Readings: Malachi 3:1-4; Psalm 84; L...
Matthew 4: Kingdom, here and now
January 28, 2020 00:00 - 22.7 MB26 January 2019 - Neville Jones has us look at Matthew 4 and it's relation to Isaiah 9. Two of the Gospel of Matthew's themes are how Jesus fulfills scriptural prophecies and the preaching and teaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom. We may sometimes pray for God's Kingdom to come, looking forward to the future. However, the Kingdom is also breaking in now. Let us pray for God's Kingdom to break into our lives today. Readings: Isaiah 9:1-4; Psalm 27:1, 4-13; Matthew 4:12-23 Blessed by our tea...
John 1: Come and see!
January 20, 2020 00:00 - 18.1 MB19 January 2020 - What was the role of John the Baptist? Matthew Dalling says John is like a traffic cop speeding ahead to announce the coming of an important person. John announces the coming of Jesus Messiah. How do we respond? Are we exploring to find out more about who Jesus is?

Acts 27 - Bible study
January 17, 2020 00:00 - 77.8 MBActs 27 narrates Paul's being sent off to Rome. Why, Rev. Aaron Eime asks, is the travel account so very detailed? Why is such detail required by Luke? To whom would these details be useful? Perhaps to reveal the character of Paul to his accusers in Rome. The ‘We’ passages resume in the narrative, indicating Luke now as an eyewitness to much of the events described.

Matthew 3: How to fend off identity thieves
January 14, 2020 00:00 - 28.7 MB12 January 2020 - On the Feast of the Baptist of Jesus, Rev. David Pileggi tells us that renewal and redemption are connected to repentance. John the Baptist was encouraging the people to prepare for the coming of the Messiah by showing individual and national repentance by washing. Why does sinless Jesus go to be baptized? To stand with his people. As Jesus is baptized, he's anointed by the Holy Spirit, affirming Jesus' identity, and his intimate status before the Father, even before he's do...
Acts 26 - Bible Study
January 10, 2020 00:00 - 80.1 MBActs 26 opens with Paul standing before the man whose great grandfather had tried to kill the infant Jesus. And whose father had martyred the apostle James in Acts 12. How will this Herodian treat the message of Messiah and the Jesus movement? Paul has his third occasion to give his personal testimony. Each time he shares his story he adapts it for his audience. In this account Paul reveals that though born in Tarsus, he actually grew up in Jerusalem in a Pharisaical family, later studying un...
Matthew 2: Lessons from Star Gazers
January 06, 2020 00:00 - 31.9 MB5 Jan 2020 - Rev. David Pileggi, on the Sunday before Epiphany, has us consider the magi. These foreign astrologers follow a star across the Middle East. Why? To worship. What a mystery that these gentiles worship Messiah without fully understanding who Jesus is, who God is. Throughout Matthew's gospels, Jesus is worshipped not for doing something but simply for who he is. How are we responding to Jesus, son of David? Readings: Isaiah 60:1-6; Ephesians 3:1-12; Matthew 2:1-12 Blessed by our ...
Matthew 2: Messiah didn't run away
January 02, 2020 00:00 - 31.1 MB29 Dec 2019 - On the first Sunday after Christmas, Rev. David Pileggi considers Jesus' suffering the human experience, from fleeing a murderous king as an infant to his death on the cross. The Messiah can sympathize and identify with us in our mourning, our joy, our boredom, our delight. Jesus lived our life. He now expects us to live his life.

Acts 24:1-27 - Bible study
December 19, 2019 00:00 - 79.6 MBNow in Caesarea, Paul is presented before his accusers under the auspices of the Roman Governor Felix. Claudius Marcus Antonius Felix was a former slave who had risen in Roman society to take the role of Procurator of Judea. Known for cruelty and licentiousness, with a penchant for brides, he somehow had wooed Drusilla the Jewess, daughter of Herod Agrippa, as his second wife. Ananias the High Priest, whose name means Grace of God and yet displays none of that quality, appears in person with ...
Advent III: John the Baptist got it wrong! How about us?
December 17, 2019 00:00 - 31.9 MB16 Dec 2019 - On the third Sunday of Advent, Rev. David Pileggi has us look at John the Baptist as he was in prison. John seems to be doubting that Jesus is the Anointed One. When he sends a message to Jesus, John is asking, Are you the Messiah according to my theology? Are we doubting Jesus because we've imagined him within our cultural context? Are we disappointed because Jesus doesn't look like we expect him? Is our disappointment coming from a hurt or an attack? When we are desperate and ...
Acts22:30-23:35 - Bible study
December 10, 2019 00:00 - 80.4 MBAaron Eime picks up in Acts 22, where Paul’s Roman citizenship begins to have an effect on his future. Claudius Lysias does not understand the charges against Paul and so convenes the Sanhedrin to gather information. Once Paul knows he will not receive a fair hearing, he changes tactics for confusion and exploitation. Following the uproar in the Sanhedrin, Paul is confined to quarters and is visited by the Lord Himself in the night. Notes for this study can me found at Notes for this study c...
Advent II: God is glorified when we live in unity
December 09, 2019 00:00 - 31.4 MB8 Dec 2019 - On the second Sunday of Advent, Rev. David Pileggi has us consider Paul's message of peace in Romans. Our world is not in peace, but in an uproar and hysteria, a state not far from the historical context of Paul's epistle to Rome. Paul's message in this letter is about who God is and what God is doing. The gospel is the story of God's covenant faithfulness to all of humanity; and our sin cannot stop God's mission of peace. The proof of the power of the gospel is seen when differe...
Advent I: Jesus is coming yet he's among us now
December 03, 2019 00:00 - 27.8 MB1 December 2019 - Rev. David Pileggi, on the first Sunday of Advent, has us consider Jesus' words in Matthew 24 as we remind oursevles of his second coming. In this remembering and preparing, we must live in the paradox the breaking in of the Kingdom continues to redeem even as we wait for Jesus' return. Yes, Jesus is coming back, but he is active among us now when we gather in his name, when we come to his table. Jesus has words of admonition for us as we wait for him; he does not want us to...
Acts 21:37-22:29 - Bible study
December 02, 2019 00:00 - 78.3 MBNeville Jones picks up in Acts 21:37 where Paul -- in Jerusalem -- has just been saved from an angry mob by Roman soldiers. Most of chapter 22 is Paul’s speech to the dangerously agitated crowd at the northern end of the temple area. When the crowd only gets more angry, Paul narrowly escapes being flogged by the Roman soldiers who had taken him into custody.

Colossians 1: Messiah our King
November 25, 2019 00:00 - 20.3 MB24 Nov 2019 - Rev. Alex Jacob, director of CMJ UK, spoke on Colossians 1 on Christ the King Sunday. What gives Jesus authority? These verses tell us that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the sovereign Son, the one before all things, the head of his community. This early hymn helps us communicate the tension of the good news that the Kingdom of God and its King have come in the midst of a muddled and broken world. Readings: Jeremiah 23:1-6; Colossians 1:1-20; Luke 23:33-43 Blessed b...
