A sermon on Philippians 1:12-26 from Tim Thorburn.

The book closes with Nehemiah physically and spiritually cleansing the community, establishing organized duties for the priests and Levites, and offering several brief, personal prayers asking God to "remember me for good"

God rightly deserves all glory, honour and praise. Let's join our voices to ask Him to receive that glory with our whole hearts and lives.

God has revealed Himself to be awesome and beyond, yet near and approachable. Be in awe of His glory and draw near by His grace.

Amazingly, our Lord Jesus teaches us to pray "Our Father". Join with us as we explore the depth and breadth of relationship we have with God in Christ by His Spirit.

Tom Richards will show how two groups emerge in John 1:6–13: the world and the children of God, and explains the fundamental distinction between them. Centred on the question of how someone becomes a child of God, this sermon explores conversion, evangelism, free will, and the sovereignty of God.

A sermon on Romans 8:31-34 from Charles Roennfeldt.

Jesus is the Vine, the Father is the Vinedresser, we are the branches. Abide in Christ, ask in Jesus' Name and love as He's loved us.

Is there any way to escape punishment and be brought into God’s favour?

A sermon on Romans 4:1-12 from William Murphy.

In a seemingly plain and dry text, we find answers to our deepest longings and needs.

In a world that thinks there are many ways to God, truth is subjective and life is what you make it, hear Jesus's awesome claims to be the Only Way to the Father, the One who perfectly reveals God's True character to us, and He who gives Life by Dwelling in us by His Spirit.

When Jesus showed up 4 days after Lazarus had died, it appeared that all hope was lost. But Jesus provides hope even in the most difficult circumstances. Even in the face of death, Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, overcomes!

In contrast to a hired hand, Jesus is the Good Shepherd who deeply cares for His sheep, shown in the ultimate act of self-sacrifice - giving His life in our place. Trust Jesus who died so that we can live.

In contrast to thieves who seek to steal, kill and destroy, Jesus has come to save, nourish and give abundant life.

Jesus’ way is to quench our thirst. By the Spirit, he is the only one through whom our thirst is quenched.

Darkness conceals, promotes evil and discourages hope. Jesus is the Light of the World who overcomes all darkness: revealing truth, exposing evil and providing true hope and direction.

Be encouraged that Jesus Is the Living Bread who blesses all who believe in Him with eternal life that is secure in Him.

In contrast to the enslaving murder and lies of Satan; Jesus is the Divine, Word of Truth, who alone gives life, liberates and causes us to be adopted as children of our Heavenly Father.

The church didn't invent the truth about Christ, but it did need time and careful Biblical reflection both to speak the truth and safeguard it from error. That's the great benefit of the Nicene Creed, because it helps us to articulate sound doctrine.

This morning, Ray will be answering the question “How do we find and follow the way of true wisdom?”

The question this morning is “How do we and our world think about rule”? Hear about how God designed us to rule under Him and how the Old Testament kings fit into this and how Jesus is the Ultimate King.

“How can we be right with God?” Hear about priests in the Old Covenant and Jesus the Ultimate Priest in the New Covenant, who does all that is necessary to bring all who believe in Him to God.

In order for us to know God, He must make Himself known. That's exactly what He's done in His world (showing His eternal power and divine nature) and in His Word through the prophets and supremely in the Ultimate Prophet Jesus. Reject the world's ways of thinking about God and praise God as He has revealed Himself in Christ.

YHWH’s glory filled the tabernacle, so that even Moses could not enter in. Hear of how we have access to the All-Glorious Christ and how His Spirit continues to lead and abides with us and in us.

YHWH graciously renews His Covenant with Israel. YHWH works through Moses, who is both meek and mediator. Moses put a veil over his face that corresponds to the veil over people's hearts. Hear how Jesus brings about the New Covenant, is the ultimate meek Mediator and only in Him can the veil be removed. Behold Jesus. Be like Jesus. Because of Jesus.

A sermon on Ephesians 2:1-10 from Joseph Willmer.

During this time of making resolutions and making fresh starts, what is God wanting us to get out of the new year? What is His prayer for you? Be encouraged by what God actually wants for us not just next year but eternally.

At Christmas we celebrate God's love made manifest in our midst through the sending of His Son in order that we might live.

As we enter the Christmas season of “great joy that will be for all people”, we hear Isaiah‘s message foretelling God‘s reversal … He replaces: Gloom with joy; The oppressor’s rod with the Messiah’s reign.

Moses asked God to show him His glory. YHWH appeared and declared His Name and His Covenant Love. In Jesus, we have seen God's glory and His Covenant Love, full of grace and truth.

The LORD's people commit serious sin and this brings serious consequences, yet God's grace shines hope in the darkness.

We need a king because we are in bondage to sin. To truly receive Christ, we take him not only as our Teacher and our Saviour, but as our King as well. Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. He is able to win us to himself, care for us in our weakness, and bring us at last, by his grace, into our eternal home.

We know that YHWH has promised for Israel to be His people and for Him to be their God. How does this holy God live in the midst of this sinful people?

2025 All HaHows ws Eve Hn NIght. The topic is Martin Luther and the start of the Reformation. Sola Fide.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Be encouraged that Jesus seeks you and be challenged to seek Jesus for yourself and seek the lost in Jesus' Name.

See the amazing love, humility and glory of Jesus and join the chorus singing His praise.

Covetousness is to desire to take what belongs to others for oneself. Let us turn our hearts away from the world and its pleasures towards Jesus, in whom we find our fulfillment, that we may live in love for God and our neighbours.

Although it can be tempting to spin a story to try and make ourselves and our friends sound better and others sound worse, this destroys reputations and relationships. Instead, let's live in the truth, acknowledging our own shortcomings and testifying to Christ who's overcome them.

The command to not steal finds its fulfilment in loving God and our neighbours rather than loving things. Let's reject all forms of stealing and instead live lives that are centred on Christ, contribute to the wellbeing of others and are content in Him.

Today, we will be looking at the place of humanity in God's world, which shows us God's goodness, and His abundant grace in redeeming us.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Sinners) no matter how far away from him they might appear. Just as it was Jesus' mission to save his lost sheep - it is the Church’s mission to seek and find them as well.

We live in a hypersexualised world where self-fulfilment and authenticity are everything. But the truth is that life is found not in the pursuit of worldly pleasure, but in surrender to the Sovereign.

God powerfully protects His realm and He ends affliction by ending adversaries

Honouring our father and mother is downplayed in our world today, but critically important for our families to thrive. So what is it all about and what's the promise that goes along with it?

God gave His people Israel the Sabbath as a day of rest and in His grace there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. Let's embrace the rest we have in Jesus.

Names often tell us who we are, what we do and they can be linked to fame or respect. God's name tells us who He is, what He's done and the glory He's due. Let's look at the significance of God's name in Exodus and how honouring His name remains relevant today.
