Behold I Stand at the Door

Is John's revelation just about the end of the world? It's easy to miss the purpose of the last book in the Bible when numerous non-biblical sources have confused our understanding of it. With a more careful reading of the book we will find it was as relevant to John's first readers as it will be for his last.

The Day After Christmas

After Christmas it is a good time to reflect on what you have just seen and heard. A time to ponder as Mary did, a time to worship as the wise men did and a time to praise and proclaim as the shepherd's did.

The Anointed King - Born to Outlive Death

In the third of our sermons, we will be examining the third gift given to Jesus: Myrrh. God gave his gift to the Church - His son, to die so that we might live and give our gifts to Jesus, our King, our sacrificial Saviour.

Frankincense: A God Worthy of Worship

Frankincense in the ancient world was often used to worship a divine being. The wise men travel hundreds of miles to deliver this gift to the new born King. Jesus is more than mortal king. He is the true God worthy of our worship.

Giving King Jesus Your Gold

Gold is a gift given to a king in recognition of His royalty and His right to rule. The wise men gave Jesus their gold. They gave Him their best. Do we give our best to Jesus? He doesn't just want bits of us. He wants our all. Do we see Jesus as being worthy of our gold?

Between Memphis and Hardcase

What are you to do when you are caught between two warring dynasties? Daniel with the aid of the Lord foresees a time of trouble for God's people. We are to take courage that the Lord sees the needs of his people, way before we do, even looking past the seemingly bigger events of history.

More Than Meets the Eyes

Is what we can see all that there is? As God’s people face opposition from human kingdoms, Daniel 10 lets us in on the secret that God’s people also face spiritual opposition, and it is overwhelming. But God hears, comforts and fights for His people.

The Beast of Empires and the Humanity of the Kingdom of God

When you know that the days ahead are going to be difficult, how do you encourage those who are going to go through it? The Lord knows that the future of His people is going to get worse before it gets better. By the way of preparing them he calls out the plays of those empires who will rise against them but it will be God's kingdom that will ultimately win the day.

His Last Day on Earth

What would you do if you had one last day on earth? You would think Belshazzar would humble himself when he sees the end is near but pride is more intoxicating than strong drink. Even when the wicked are warned they still shake their fist at God.

The Gracious, Incomparable Helpful God Delivers

When our faith is challenged is God able to save us from imminent danger? God ultimately rewards those who trust in Him to make His name and His work known.

Everything Is Going His Way

The world under human kingdoms is a dark place in need of hope. God reveals to Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar and to us that the greatest hope we could ever have is this: God is really God and everything is going His way.

Flourish Where You Are Found

Do you ever feel like you would be better once your circumstances were? God's sovereignty displayed in the book of Daniel gives us faith and hope that we can flourish what ever circumstances we are found in.

Re-Focus Service

When the world is turned upside down, how are the believers supposed to keep calm and carry on? Jeremiah makes it clear to the remnant of Judea who are living in fear that trusting in God is never optional if you are to be the covenant people. *Corrections I would like to note three corrections that need to be pointed out in my sermon: 1. Locution does in fact mean the meaning of words in a particular culture 2. Illocution refers to the way words are formed and transformed through different genre like poetry or narrative 3. Mizpah that is referred to in the text is most likely the one in Benjamin's territory and not the one located in Gilead on the East of the Jordan

Stop and Consider the Time

The Beatitudes

What does it mean to be blessed? What are the messages of the beatitudes? How can I be God's salt and light to the world?

Evangelism Training Sermon

Who do you find it most difficult to share your faith with? Family, friends, work colleagues, strangers or people of other religions? Do you feel unequipped when it comes to presenting the Gospel? Listen in as we give you some effective strategies for opening up conversations and strategies for the sharing of your faith.

Who or What is Your Idol?

We tend to dismiss idolatry because we think only of those who have visible forms of idols. This is still part of our world, and it is amazing that people in our modern times have been just as foolish and idolatrous as were the pagans in ancient days.

Jesus: Servant Saviour Son of God

Who do you say Jesus is? As we come to the conclusion of Mark's gospel are you convinced the Jesus is a servant for humanity unlike any other. A Saviour of the soul and the express image of Son of God. There is no one like Jesus.

The King's Rejection, Our Redemption

King Jesus faces utter rejection: betrayal and desertion; conviction and condemnation. Yet His commitment to His people (us) is demonstrated through his faithful obedience; His promise to us of never leaving presence; His assurance of lasting hope and His full securing of our redemption. What A King!

Not The End Of The World

Are you caught up in end of the world conspiracies? As believers we may find ourselves caught up in looking for the signs of the end of the world; whilst ignoring Jesus' imperative to see that the gospel is preached to the ends of the earth. Let's keep our eyes on the true aims of the gospel!
