In this sermon we conclude our mini series on the Lord’s Supper. We look at Paul’s words to the Corinthian Church on the matter, which is found in 1 Corinthians 11.

In this lesson we continue in our study of the book of Proverbs.

Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for their is the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”

In this sermon we continue in our study of the Lord’s Supper. What are the bread and the wine meant to symbolize? How does Christ commune with His people in the Supper? We consider some of these questions in this sermon.

Once again, Jesus uses imagery that is generally viewed negatively and shows how it is essential for the citizen of His kingdom. Hunger and thirst are typically seen as problems to be solved. Yet, when it comes to righteousness, hunger and thirst are blessed qualities. What does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness? How do we come to possess such a desire in the first place? What does it mean that those with such cravings will be satisfied? In this sermon, we will consider these questions together.

We continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount and come now to the Beatitude of meekness. This is a quality of the Christian that is often misunderstood and overlooked. Yet, we work to consider the Biblical understanding of the word and also see many examples in the Scripture of men and women who displayed this. Jesus himself is the chief example, for he did not revile and threaten when he was unjustly tried and crucified, but entrusted himself to the Father.

In this sermon, Kyle Young opens up the Beatitude “Blessed are the Pacifist” or more commonly known as “Blessed are the Peacemakers”. What does Jesus mean by this statement? How are we to practically reflect our Father in Heaven who has made peace with us through the cross of Christ? Listen in to learn more about this often overlook quality blessed by Jesus.

In this sermon we look at the first of the beatitudes that Jesus taught. Blessed are the poor in spirit is a strange sounding phrase to our modern ears. However, as we understand what Jesus means, we also see the door into the Kingdom of God and blessed reward that comes to those who learn this quality.

Before moving into the sermon on the mount, Matthew gives us a birds eye view of the ministry of King Jesus. So we consider in this sermon the acts or works of Jesus. From his teaching and preaching, to his healing and deliverance from demons, we see that Jesus truly is the promised Messiah and King!

As Jesus begins His public ministry, He calls his disciples to follow Him. In this we find some distinct ways that the call of Jesus transforms all who respond to Him with faith and obedience.

After John prepared the way for Jesus and identified Him as the promised Messiah and King, Jesus is tempted and proved in the wilderness of Judea. Then, according to the Scriptures, he begins his public ministry in the region of Galilee and a bright light dawns upon the people living in deep darkness!

A helpful article written by Ken Sande who is the author of “Peace-Maker”. He gives us a helpful breakdown of what it means to judge charitably while at the same time not avoiding real problems and sins in ourselves and in others.

In this session we spend some time reviewing what we have covered so far and also look at what Biblical repentance actually is. Change can only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and so it is essential that we understand what these terms mean!

This is the beginning of a series in which we will explore the meaning behind the Lord’s supper. In this sermon we go back into Genesis and see how important themes are developed early in the story of Redemption.

Matthew 3:13-17

In this session we look at Ephesians 4:22-24 and see how Paul makes the connection between our corrupting desires and our sinful behaviour. Conversly, we also see the connection between the newness of the Spirit in Christ and the new manner of life that follows. We then conclude by looking at how this plays out in various real life examples.

As we look at a sample of John’s preaching we see the implications of his call for repentance. It is a repentance that is for all people, it is a non negotiable need and it is a repentance that points to Christ as the judge and saviour.

In this lesson we consider how modern psychology affects our understanding of who we are as humans. It is essential that we maintain a Biblical worldview, especially in the are of soul care.

In this lesson we consider what the Bible says about the human heart. How bad off are we apart from God? Just as someone will not receive treatment for an illness until they are convinced they are truly ill so too the sinner will not willingly come unto Christ for healing until he understands the state of his sinful heart.

Who is John the Baptist? Why is his ministry important? In this sermon we consider these questions along with the central message that John proclaimed.

In this sermon we continue in our study in the gospel of Matthew. Matthew presents five prophecies that Jesus fulfills in the early years of his life and Matthew draws from themes and prophecies from the Old Testament to show us how Jesus is truly the promised King of Israel. In this sermon we consider the final three prophetic fulfillments: the flight to Egypt, the death of children in Bethlehem and the return of Jesus to Nazareth.

In this class on Biblical Counselling we walk through the parable of the two houses in Matthew 7 and from it think through the principle of Biblical Logic.

In this sermon we consider three different responses to Christ the King and consider how we too respond to the King of Kings.

In this lesson we consider what God says about us in His word. In order to properly diagnose our deepest need we must first see ourselves rightly. Only God can fully show who we are before Him as fallen image bearers.

In this sermon we consider the extraordinary way in which the Lord Jesus came into the world. Through various proofs, God confirmed the true identity of Jesus to Israel and to all the nations. Matthew describes the supernatural conception, the protection of the Father, the Prophetic fulfillment and also the unique names of Jesus; all of which call us to worship Christ the King of kings.

In our text for this sermon we see two primary reasons for the coming of Christ as a man. Not only does he confirm the truthfulness of God to the Jews, but He also opens a door of mercy to the nations!

Have you considered that God has given us the Scripture that we might have hope? Paul says it is a main reason for the Scripture! But this hope is not abstract, it is fixed upon God himself, His person and work revealed to us in Jesus Christ.

What do we do when we have differing convictions within the household of faith? Should the one with stronger convictions always the trump the one who has less? What is the main priority for the church in such disputes? What does it look like to walk in Christ-likeness in such situations? Paul address this difficult issue in Romans 14 and 15.

In this sermon we consider Paul’s exhortation that each one be fully convinced in his own mind as we wrestle through disputed matters. As much as this was a problem in the early church, we know that it is still something we must watch today. It is easier to lost sight of the weightier matter of loving one another and welcoming one another as the Lord has welcomed us, instead of quarrelling and demanding our way.

In this sermon, Kyle Young unpacks for us how love is the fulfilment of the law and various ways Paul uses the concept of law in the letter to the Romans.

In Romans 14 Paul further applies the call to love as the fulfillment of the law. He urges the church to extent mercy and patience to one another on matters of obedience to the Old Covenant. In this we also see Paul’s defence of this principle.

In this sermon we look at the final verses of Romans 13 where Paul calls the Christians to cast off deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light.
