Sunday's Sermon: Following Jesus

In this, our last look at John's Gospel for a while, we conclude our series by seeing what it means to listen to Jesus voice and follow Him - as all His true disciples (or 'sheep') will do. We learn that the problem with "Christs", those who will save the world, is that they mess around with your life. We far prefer to have Christs who will turn the world rightside up, but who in doing so will leave us alone. Jesus, is not that type of Christ. And those who listen to him must expect to have their lives and agenda and theology rearranged as they follow Him. This was a price too much for the religious leaders to pay.

Sunday's Sermon: A study in repentance

In our evening service on Sunday past we surveyed Psalm 51, David's penitential psalm following his liaison with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband, and noted some of the marks of a true and deep repentance. More could have been said, but I trust what was said will help you understand the lengths God has gone to grant forgiveness - and so help you in your repentance.

Sunday's Sermon: A Beggar's Belief

Back into John's Gospel, we see how the curious, the cautious and the caustic reveal their blinding unbelief in Jesus, while the blind man comes to see in Jesus what life is all about. Outline slides below, you can or download the sermon from here.

Sunday's Sermon: Some Thoughts on the Lord's Supper

As we approach Communion Sunday this weekend, we gave our attention last time to Paul's directions to the Corinthian Church - a fellowship that were not living in line with the Gospel truths they were meant to be holding onto and who were failing to demonstrate Gospel realities in their relationships one with the other.
