The heart of Jesus for people is that of compassion and this is the motivation for mission: to proclaim the gospel and serve people by meeting their needs.How do we be like Jesus in this? And why was His person and His message at times so offensive to people?Sermon Text: Matthew 9:35-38 and 10:5-25 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jesus is still in the miracle business as the Kingdom of God continues to be revealed when we exhibit faith.

Jesus likens the salvation he brings to new wine that must be poured into new wineskins.

Everyne needs the gospel. God's settled and just opposition to evil is being revealed from heaven against people who suppress the truth about God, and exchange the worship of God for idols. Having given people over to this foolishness, their out of control desires result in behaviour that is not only against nature but degrading and destructive of themselves and others. Our only hope is Jesus Christ - whom God in his love for us gave for the forgiveness of our sins and the healing of our truth denying idolatry.Sermon Text: Romans 1:18-32 Hosted on Acast.
