(SERMON) Practising and Preaching

This Palm Sunday baptism service we think on the teaching of the Common Worship collect prayer for Palm Sunday. Our all-powerful Father loves us with a tender love - and this truth transforms our prayer life. Our God loves us with a sacrificial love based on freely given grace - we don't deserve or earn His love but He gave up everything for us anyway. This sacrificial love compels us to follow Jesus with both word and deed into true life.

(SERMON) Easter Eve 2016 - 'Desires and Decisions' Ezekiel 36

The death and  resurrection of Jesus changes EVERYTHING.  It not only fills us with joy but also compels us to seek holiness.  When we believe, we are not only washed clean but given a new heart and mind, the Holy Spirit to help us fulfil these new desires, and a life completely changed, renewed, and rebuilt from the inside out by God.

(SERMON) Good Friday 2016 - conversion and conviction

"The cross of Christ compels us to compassionately seek conversion"

The torturous death of Jesus changes everything - but only for those who believe.  The truth is that we are all dead in our sins, far worse than we image.  The truth is that Jesus and faith in Him is the only way we can be saved. The truth is that all other religions and world views lead to hell.  Knowing this and marvelling at God's love for us compels us to preach Jesus to the nations.
