(SERMON) Trinity Sunday 2019 - Romans 5:1-5

The teaching about the Holy Trinity - who God is - is often shunned by Christians but this should not be the case.  There are three simple things to bear in mind when thinking about God as Trinity:

1.  You don't need a master's degree in Trinitarian Theology to accept and submit to who God has revealed Himself to be.

2. God has truly revealed Himself as Trinity in the Bible; One God yet Three Persons. This means a relationship with God and salvation itself is only found in accepting and submitting to the teaching of the Trinity.

3. The Trinity is Good News because it reveals just how amazingly generous and loving God is - He doesn't need us and never has but still He created us that He might share His own goodness, joy, peace, freedom, and glory with us.

(SERMON) Romans 13.8-14 Stop hitting the spiritual snooze - Christ is coming

God used Romans 13 to awaken the sinful and sceptic Augustine and through giving him a new heart and a new mind gave him the desire to be alert, awake, ever wearing the armour of Light and the righteousness of Christ.  Augustine became ready for the coming of Christ and God used him to become arguably the single most important thinker in Western Civilisation.

How do we stop hitting the spiritual snooze button in our lives and be always ready, alert, and ready for the return of King Jesus?  We do this by daily acknowledging the truth that, through faith alone, we have been made saints in Christ Jesus.  This truth equips us to face the darkness all around us, it is our armour of light against the dark.

(SERMON) Trinity Sunday 2018: John 3.1-18 & Romans 8.12-17

On the day I baptised my cousin-in-law and niece in to the household of faith I preached about the Trinity: about how God has revealed Himself, what this  tells us about God, and why this changes everything for us who believe.
