Wyoming Church of Christ: Recent Episodes
Wyoming Church of Christ
We're a friendly and growing community of people from many backgrounds who have found fresh hope and forgiveness through Jesus Christ – and it's all because of Jesus' death and resurrection two thousand years ago. This is truly life changing, so we're committed to sharing this message with others.
This passage gives us a ‘slow motion’ moment: Uzzah touches the ark of God, and instantly falls down dead. How do we make sense of that? What does it show us about God, and about us? What we’ll see is that God decides how we should worship him - not us. And that’s the difference between us coming up with the idea of ‘God’ and God telling us how we should respond to him. Listen along as we see who God truly is, and how we should worship him in truth.

Renier Van Der Klashorst is updating us with the work of Compassion Australia and teaching what Isaiah has to say about how we might integrate our faith and our works.
We all know ‘leaders’ who are more focused on themselves than the people they’re leading. Scripture isn’t naive to that reality. In fact, we meet two such leaders in today’s passages. But in contrast to power-seeking leadership, we see David embody peace-making leadership. And in so doing, he points us to Jesus, the leader we truly need today. Listen along as we explore 2 Samuel chapters 2-5 to see how a true leader pursues peace, not power.
As we begin 2 Samuel together, we open to a surprising scene: David grieves for the dead King who was trying to kill him. Why isn't he happy about this? As we'll see, it's because of things that matter deeply to God and therefore matter deeply to David. Join us as we consider what matters to us and how grief can bring it to the surface.
Today Duncan Sutherland from EV Church is our guest preacher and will be unpacking 1 Peter 1:1-9. He will be showing how Christians are Living As Exiles today.

We’ve been on “The Road to Resurrection” for quite a while - and today Jesus gives us His final words to His followers. The passage today is going to answer the question “How is Jesus Kingdom revealed on earth?”
Most people won't admit it, but when we really think about it, death is a fearsome thing. Even more terrifying is the idea of hell. But as we'll see in this important part of Matthew's Gospel, Jesus faced death and hell for us. And that changes everything. Join us this Good Friday as we unpack the wonderful and gut-wrenching love Jesus poured out on the cross for us.

Join us this Good Friday as we unpack the wonderful and gut-wrenching love Jesus poured out on the cross for us.
The moment has finally come: Jesus now faces the crucifixion he's been focused on for so long. It's a harrowing scene. But part of what draws us in, perhaps, is that we see ourselves in this scene. What if we are like the soldiers, religious leaders and criminals that mock him - even kill him? As we'll see, our sinful deeds caused Jesus' shameful death. And the more we sit with that reality, the more thankful we'll be for what Jesus has done
Easter is just two weeks away, and before we reach the moment of Jesus’ death, we see two people in the middle of the stage: Judas and Pilate. Both of them have some level of regret over sin or concern for Jesus, but they don’t manage to respond rightly to him. How can we avoid the errors they make? Dan walks us through Matthew 27:1-26 to show us the danger of being close, but not close enough - and the only way to fix it.
Why is there so much opposition to Jesus? Ultimately, it comes back to who he claims to be. In Matthew 26, Jesus is mistreated, misrepresented and misjudged - but he shows himself to really be the Messiah. How will you respond to who he really is? Join us as we consider some big claims about Jesus and what they must mean for our lives today.
The men who followed Jesus for years are about to see the cross looming ahead - and they’re all going to run away. They said they’d die with him, but they fail to stand with him. We too fail to keep our commitments to God. What do we need to know when our resolve fails? Dan unpacks Matthew 26:30-46, showing us how Jesus’ faithfulness makes all the difference.
The last meal Jesus shares with his disciples is full of meaning. Why do we celebrate the Lord’s Supper? Why do we do this and not something else to remember Jesus? Join us as we consider what the Lord’s Supper means and who is welcome at the table.
Jesus is about to die, and it’s not what he deserves. So Matthew gives us a flashback to a time when he receives something much closer to what he really deserves: true worship. Why would someone worship Jesus like the woman in this story? Listen along as Dan unpacks Matthew 26:1-13 for us.
There's a day coming that will change everything. All of humanity will be divided into two groups: those who are with Jesus, and those who are against him. Do you know where you'll stand? Believe it or not, it has something to do with how we treat people in need. Listen along as Dan explains this passage for us, showing how when someone experiences God's compassion, they show compassion to others - and that's the sign of where they truly stand.
Jesus is going to return, but he tells us there’ll be a wait. What should we do while we wait? The Parable of the Talents shows us how God gives each of us significant responsibility. What should we do with it, and what are the eternal results of our response? Join us as we consider what this powerful story means for us both today and forever.
Australia suffered under some of the worst bushfires in history just a few years ago. And yet many people weren’t prepared for them. Today, we turn to Matthew 24-25 and hear Jesus prepare us for his return. How can we make sure we’re ready? Listen along as Dan explains Jesus’ words, which give us one truth and three stories to prepare us for his coming.
We now come to the climactic point of Matthew’s gospel. Jesus will be arrested, crucified and raised from the dead. Many of us know how the story goes - but do we appreciate how earth-shattering it is? What does Jesus’ death and resurrection really mean for us and for the world? Join us as we follow Jesus on The Road to Resurrection this term. We begin today by reviewing Matthew 1-23 through the lens of who Jesus really is - the Son of God and the Son of Man.
We’ve seen how our big prayer as a church must be to grow in knowing Jesus, and in loving his church. Today we see how that flows into the final part of our prayer - to grow in reaching the lost. Evangelism is something most of us find very difficult. But God’s plan is for the local church to reach the lost together. Listen along as Dan unpacks 1 Peter 2:1-12, showing us how we declare and display our God as a people, not just as individuals.
Why do we gather every sunday morning and sing together? Today we will unpack God’s design for worship as His people praise Him through singing together.
Life might seem easier if we didn’t have to gather with our church. We wouldn’t have to put up with people who sometimes annoy and hurt us, for a start! But God’s plan has always been to gather a people together who share a common faith in the gospel - even if they’re different to each other, annoy each other, and sometimes hurt each other. This week, we’ll see how “loving his church” marks who we are at Coast Bible, as we open up Colossians 3 together.
For the next few weeks, we’ll hear about our big prayer as a church - Knowing Jesus, Loving his church, Reaching the lost. This is what we believe God wants to see in our church for years to come! This week we begin by seeing what Scripture says about knowing Jesus, particularly in the experience of the apostle Paul.
Guest speaker Zach Mamo brings us a sermon from Philippians, discussing how we can avoid living in isolation as Christians but rather finding joyful partnership together as Christian brothers and sisters.
The day has come at last - their wait is over! Simeon and Anna have been waiting their whole lives to see the Messiah. Finally, their longing is fulfilled. What can we learn from them, both in their waiting and in their response to seeing Jesus? Find out this week as we finish the season of advent together in Luke 2:22-38.
We continue “waiting with God’s people” this week by meeting Jesus’ mother, Mary. In many ways, Jesus is not what she’d been waiting for; she was a young woman waiting to get married, not become the mother of the Messiah! But she discovers, as we can, that Jesus is better than we can imagine.
Christmas is here before we know it! It’s easy to take this season for granted. It’s especially easy to miss the significance of why Jesus came. This week, we’ll begin “waiting with God’s people” for advent by following the account of Zechariah and Elizabeth. 2000 years ago, they were waiting for a child. But they didn’t realise that God was going to answer their prayer in a much bigger way than they expected.
1 John 5:13-21. In our last passage from 1 John, we consider the question: what difference should my assurance in Christ make to my life? As we’ll see, it makes us confident to ask God for things, intercede for stumbling Christians, and overcome sin in our lives. These are things we can do with boldness because of our confidence in Christ.
1 John 5:6-12. Plenty of Aussies believe in something spiritual. But why should we? What’s the best reason to believe in spiritual things? And even more than that - what’s the better reason to believe in Jesus? This week we’ll see why we can trust the Bible’s message about Jesus, and what that means for our lives.
1 John 5:1-5. You might be a Christian today. But how do you know you’ll still be one tomorrow? None of us know what’s around the corner, and all of us know someone who’s ‘fallen away.’ Today’s passage shows us that the reason any of us is a Christian is because God has given us life. And that has massive implications for our ongoing assurance. Listen in as we discover how to know whether we’ll make it to the end.
We all find it hard to love people, even those closest to us. What do we need to know when we’re at the end of our rope and the tank has run dry? Join us this week as we discover why Christians must love each other, with a life-changing answer rooted in the very character of God.
The spiritual world is real, and sometimes we see it with our own eyes. Religious movements and groups sometimes spring up around spiritual events. But how can we tell if this is a movement of the Holy Spirit? What if it’s a movement of the human spirit, or something worse? This week’s passage shows us how to test any movement that appears to be spiritual, and see if it’s really from God.
There are times when Christians need reassurance. The key is to see who God really is. Join us as we work out how to reassure our doubting hearts with the good news that “God is greater.”
There’s nothing controversial about John’s command for Christians to “love one another.” But what really is love? Here things become more difficult, both in what it means and how to live it out. Join us as we unpack the Bible’s definition of love and how it must shape our lives.
1 John 3:4-10. Many of us lie in bed sometimes wondering, “Am I really a Christian?” After all, I still do things God doesn’t want me to! Today’s passage shows us that a genuine Christian can’t keep sinning. But how does that fit with the reality that we do still sin? Listen along as Dan unpacks 1 John 3:4-10.
Today continuing with 1 John, Ethan is going to give us 3 encouragements to Abide in God.
This Psalm asks the question, in the midst of opposition and hardship, will David’s shame prevent him from turning to God for help? We pray that you will be strengthened by David’s example to trust God even when you find yourself in a hole you have dug for yourself.
1 John 2:18-27. False teachers have existed since the very beginning of Christianity. How can we protect ourselves from them, so we don’t get led astray? Listen along as Dan explains how God makes false teaching clear for us, and assures us that what we believe is far better.
1 John 2:15-17. There’s always pressure on Christians to ‘get with the times.’ Today we’ll see why we should never give in to that pressure. Why is it impossible to love both God and the world’s values? In this passage, God warns his people not to turn away from him, while also encouraging those who resist the ways of the world to keep going.
Young or old, it can be tough to stay a Christian in today’s world. Listen along as we hear this stirring call to confidence from 1 John.
Some Christians feel like imposters, when actually they’re safe in Christ. Other people feel very confident in their faith, but there’s little evidence that they’re actually saved! How can we know if we’re really a Christian? In this week’s passage, we’ll see how. God gives us either assurance or a warning, depending on what we need to hear from him through John.
Many Christians find it hard to tell others about Jesus. This week, at our inaugural church camp, we immerse ourselves in Paul’s passion for evangelism. What made him push through the hardship and keep declaring the gospel? Four big truths: the goal of history, the gravity of hell, the goodness of the gospel, and the glory of God.
John sets his crosshairs on two false teachings about sin. Why might we be so tempted to minimise what sin is? And how can we make sure we don’t? This week Dan shows us how sin is both unacceptable and undeniable - and that holding both truths together is vital.
1 John 1:1-4. Our world is obsessed with the ‘new,’ and some supposed Christians get sucked into ‘new’ teachings. As we begin our time in 1 John, join us as Dan explains some ‘new’ teachings around in the 1st Century, and why we should stick with the old truths.
Isaiah 12:1-6. Christians do some strange things, including sing every week. Why do we sing so much? And what sort of songs should we sing? This week we look at a song in the book of Isaiah that has much to say on these questions.
Isaiah 11:1-10. How can Christians claim to know what THE afterlife will be like? This week we examine a few common views of the afterlife and how they stack up against God’s vision for the future. Join us as Andrew unpacks this immensely encouraging passage from Isaiah.
What can change the world? Everyone has an opinion, but what will bring lasting change? We’re going back in time to see how the world in Isaiah’s era needed changing just as much as ours does. The answer God gave them is the same one we need today. Listen in as Dan unpacks Isaiah 9:1-7 and shows us how and when true change will come.
It’s one thing to say “there’s nothing to fear.” But how does this fit with the command to “fear the Lord”? And how does this actually help us to live? Dan takes us through Isaiah 8:11-22 to show us the answer.
Why do I need to dwell on the bad news? Bad news is not always nice to dwell on, but embracing the bad news is the only way to the good news! We will see in Isaiah 6, that God's people need to understand the bad news in order to turn back to God and receive the good news of his mercy and grace. But how will they respond to the bad news? Listen along as Ethan unpacks the next section of Isaiah with us.

We will see in Isaiah 6, that God's people need to understand the bad news in order to turn back to God and receive the good news of his mercy and grace. But how will they respond to the bad news? Listen along as Ethan unpacks the next section of Isaiah with us.
What do you do with someone when they don’t want to change? This is the predicament we face when we look at Israel in Isaiah 2-4. Only God can shift the pride they’re stuck in. But how will he do it? And how will he change us when we don’t want to change? Listen along as Dan unpacks the next section of Isaiah with us.
In Isaiah 2, God shows Isaiah his plan to bring a flood of people to know and worship him, streaming in from every nation on earth. How must this vision of the future shape the way we live?
We begin our time in Isaiah 1-12 by hearing God speak to his people. Israel has been mired in sin for centuries. What does God have to say to them in their sin? And what does he say to us when we’re stuck in patterns of rebellion? Join us as Dan unpacks Isaiah 1:1-20, the actual words of God himself, who speaks with both shocking severity and surprising intimacy.
God is the Definition of Beautiful yet Not Physical and Infinitely Strong and Able to Infinitely Strength
Continuing on from our series of Encouragement for Evangelism, guest speaker Andrew Hayes brings us a sermon from John 4:1-42 titled ‘Jesus The Evangelist’. We explore how Jesus is the one who truly knows us, and still wants us to know Him, that He is the one who gives everlasting water to quench our spiritual thirst, and is the one who leads us to worship the Father.
Continuing on from our series of Encouragement for Evangelism, guest speaker Ben Lattimore brings us a sermon on ‘The Heart of Mission’. Preaching from the word of Jonah and Matthew we understand that we must first understand God’s mercy in order to carry out the mission of sharing his heart.
How can we bring the gospel to a culture that has moved so far from God? In Acts 17, God gives us a model through Paul’s preaching. Listen in as Ethan shows us how we can take clear steps to share the gospel without watering it down.
We’re beginning a new series that’s all about ‘encouragement for evangelism.’ How do we grow in courage, wisdom and faithfulness when it comes to sharing the gospel? First up, Dan shows us how John’s vision in Revelation 7 gives us a bigger scope for life.
This week we see Jesus aim his crosshairs at hypocrisy. It’s the reason some fall away from the faith, and the reason others never consider it at all. Why is hypocrisy so damaging, and where does it come from? Trace through Matthew 23 with us as we learn from Jesus together.
Perspectives on Jesus abound. But who is Jesus, really? What does he claim about himself and what does that mean for us today? Listen to how Jesus uses one of the most important parts of the Old Testament to show us his true identity.
Perspectives on Jesus abound. But who is Jesus, really? What does he claim about himself and what does that mean for us today? Listen to how Jesus uses one of the most important parts of the Old Testament to show us his true identity.
The Old Testament Law - should we ignore it, obey it, or do something else with it? Jesus gives us an answer that’s both simple and deep. Open up to Matthew 22 and see how he recalibrates our entire lives around what really matters.
Death is a ‘taboo topic.’ Most of us find it unbearable to talk about. How can we face death with greater hope and confidence? What does this have to do with Easter? Join us as we trace through 1 Peter 1:3-9, which recalibrates our entire approach to life and death.
Many Aussies find Christianity offensive these days. But most people miss the real reason to be offended by what Scripture says. It has a lot to do with Good Friday. What should really offend us, and what do we do about it? Listen along as we answer these questions from Romans 5.
Plenty of Aussies think the idea of an ‘afterlife’ is ridiculous. But why do people really reject it? And how is the resurrection good news? Dive into this confrontation between Jesus and the Sadducees with Dan to find out why.
What do we do when there’s a conflict between God and government? Jesus gives us a clear but challenging answer that is as relevant today as it was in the first century. Follow along in Matthew 22 as Dan unpacks it with us.
This week our guest preacher Doctor Ian Maddock is preaching through 2 Timothy 3:10-17, teaching on how all Scripture is God Breathed. What a wonderful truth, that all of scripture is inspired, inerrant, and sufficient.
Jesus continues confronting the religious leaders, this time with a story about an invitation. This parable contains three twists, each one challenging both them and us with the reality of what it means to enter God’s kingdom.
Why do many people reject Jesus? It isn’t just for rational or evidence-based reasons. Often, there are other factors at play. Follow along with Dan as we examine the religious leaders’ attitude towards Christ in Matthew 21:23-46, seeing why people really reject Jesus.
In this confronting passage, Jesus searches for 'fruit' amongst those who call themselves followers of God. What will he find? How can we know if we're 'fruitful'? Listen in as Dan unpacks the next part of Matthew 21.
What happens when the kingdom of God clashes with the kingdom of so called ‘religious leaders’ in the 1st Century? Listen in as Dan opens Matthew 21, showing us how Jesus confronts dead religion.
Our pastor Dan begins our new sermon series on Confronting Christ, focusing on Matthew 21.
Ben Lattimore from EV church joins us as a guest speaker to look through John 17 and Jesus’ prayer for the disciples, and us, and how that leads us to enjoy God.
Christmas is one of the most important times of the year, with moments of joy for everyone! But how can we have real and lasting joy that goes further than December? Follow along as Dan looks out our culture's view of joy, and how the child in the manger flips the script on what we can expect in life.
We've spent two weeks hearing how Jesus is both fully God and fully man. Now, Dan leads us through an incredible passage that weaves both aspects of Jesus' identity together. We're left with one question: how will you respond to the God who became man, the man who is God?
This week, we continue our journey through advent by considering why Jesus had to be a human. This fact might seem uncontroversial, but turns out to be both surprising and crucial. Follow along as Dan leads us through the profound truths of Hebrews 2.
Guest speaker Ben Broadfoot is kicking off our Advent series: The Incomparable Christ, with a look at Jesus' divinity.
Guest speaker Mike Prodigalidad brings us a message about how to care for our elders, by providing for them, protecting them, and ensuring their purity.
The church at Laodicea is famous for being “lukewarm.” But what does that really mean? You might be surprised! And you might find it describes more of us than you originally thought. Listen in as Dan helps us see the true problem at Laodicea and how Jesus alone is the cure.
Success means different things to different people. But when Jesus speaks to the church at Philadelphia, he defines true success - something we can pursue even with every obstacle in the way. Will you pursue true success whatever the cost? Join us as guest preacher Andrew Hayes guides us through the next letter in Revelation.
Sardis has a reputation for being alive - but their faith is on life support. What should we do when we’re wondering, “Is it still worth it to follow Jesus?”
Thyatira is the smallest of the seven cities to receive a letter from Jesus, yet they receive the most attention. Like some of the others, they struggle with compromise - but it comes from a particularly challenging direction. Not only that, their response to sin in their midst threatens to destroy them from the inside out. Listen along as we learn from Jesus why dealing with sin is mission critical.
Matthew’s gospel now reaches a pivotal moment: Jesus is about to enter Jerusalem. What awaits him there? And how should we respond to God’s plan for His Son to suffer? Matthew 20:17-34

1 Samuel 20
Rob teaches us the importance of covenants, using Jonathan and David's example.

1 Samuel 18 & 19
Most people have heard of the famous David vs Goliath story but what's this event truly about? Tune in as Rob unpacks this well known passage and points to the real hero in the story.
Last week we saw Saul throw it all away. Israel’s first King has sunk into arrogance, self-deception and godlessness. But God won’t abandon His people. This week, Dan shows us from 1 Samuel 16 how God tears down this ungodly leader and replaces him with an unlikely candidate...
For more, check out ‘Delighting in the Trinity’ by Michael Reeves, and this helpful quote from Joel Beeke:
The gospel is essentially Trinitarian. Every member of the Trinity performs an indispensable function in our salvation. Without God the Father, there would be no one to send the Son and Spirit into the world, to accept the Son’s sacrifice, or to hear the Spirit-wrought prayers of the redeemed. Without the obedience and sufferings of God the Son, no one could escape God’s curse or enjoy God’s blessing in the Spirit. Without the renewing work and indwelling presence of God the Spirit, no one would benefit from Christ’s redemptive work or have any assurance of being reconciled to God as his child. Apart from the divine Spirit, God could not dwell within the hearts of the redeemed to relate them to the Father and the Son. Without the Trinity, the gospel disappears.

Listen to our Easter Sunday service where we declare the wonderful news: Christ is risen… He is risen indeed!

The book of Matthew is a biography of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. So far in the story, Jesus has been travelling around Galilee, preaching, teaching and healing.
