Adultery

Sin cuts deep But in Christ, we are healed. By Grace Through Faith 2 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of…

Murder

God is our judge and in Christ, He is found merciful. Matthew 5:21-26 English Standard Version (ESV) Anger 21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his…

Order in Disorder

I want us to see the order of God in His work and character and how he requires that of us for our good. We will also see how the disorder is inevitable when God’s order is neglected. Genesis 1 English Standard Version (ESV) The Creation of the World 1 In the beginning, God created…

God created

In a day of secular beliefs, I want us to see that we are not random accidents or events, but we are in fact specific creations of God. Throughout history, God in Trinity has cared for His Creation and because it has been damaged He has taken responsibility to restore. Ecclesiastes 12:1 English Standard Version…

Our Righteousness

I hope to show that the glorious effect of justification should have an ongoing effect on our lives as we prepare for heaven, by becoming more like our God. This is not slavish religion, but a privilege prepared for us and made available to us by God. Revelation 19:7 English Standard Version (ESV) 7 Let…

Four Facts of Life

In this message, I want to show that it is possible to know that we are Christians without being presumptuous, because of the way we live, but also because of the work, promises and presence of God in our lives. John 3:11-14 English Standard Version (ESV) 11 Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak…

Striving Together

I hope to show that the Christian life is always a battle; and that that battle, while it is a personal responsibility, is also a shared battle for the defence and furtherance of the Gospel rather than for personal glory and blessings. Philippians 1:27 English Standard Version (ESV) 27 Only let your manner of life…

Standing Firm

In this message, I want to show that as Christians our manner of life reflects on the Gospel. The Gospel is the greatest message this world will ever hear because it portrays the Lord of Glory. The great need within the church is a recognised and practised demonstration of Unity where Christians are at One…

Full Forgiveness

In this message, I want to show the wonder and the cost of forgiveness. It is not a light matter, but it is full, complete and precious. 2 Corinthians 2:1-11 English Standard Version (ESV) 2 For I made up my mind not to make another painful visit to you. 2 For if I cause you…

When God is Silent

I want to show that there are times when God shows the depths of His love, by saying absolutely nothing. He promises to remember our sins no more and He does that by not repeating them unnecessarily. In this story of David God shows how the majority of his life was spent in obedience and…
