Inner West Sermons

In Exodus 18 we find the great leader Moses burning out from the weight of personally caring for hundreds of thousands of people. A visit from his father-in-law changes his attitude from self-reliance, to understanding the gift and grace of community. Preacher: Jon Tran

Pete Greenwood begins a new series continuing the story of Exodus (see sermons from 2019 for sermons on chapters 1-15). Today's passage gives us insight into why and how God provides for us even in times of greatest need. He provides for us daily, deeply and eternally.

Jon Tran preaches on how the empty tomb means the defeat of death.

Pete Greenwood preaches on how the death of Christ brings goodness into the midst of crisis, particularly in this COVID-19 world.

Pete Greenwood concludes the series on the Sermon on the Mount with Jesus' teaching that there are two ways to be religious. Empty religion is the religion of trying to make yourself acceptable to God through external morality. True religion is coming to God empty handed, and asking him to change you from the inside out.

Pete Greenwood continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount with the second enemy of flourishing, an attitude of harsh, condemning criticism of others.

Ps. Pete Greenwood speaks from 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 as part of our first ever live-streamed service. In times of crisis God's people have access to deep resources of comfort. We explored where to find comfort, how to nurture it and how to share it. If you or anyone you know needs help at this time, please get in contact with us at info@innerwestchurch.com.au.

Campbell Brice preaches a timely sermon on how Jesus gives us resources to deal with one of the greatest enemies to our flourishing - anxiety - even in the midst of a global pandemic.

Chris Porter continues in the Sermon on the Mount looking at the ways that we can use religious 'masks' to cover up internal sinfulness.

Jon Tran shows us Jesus' teaching that there are three virtues that Christians who pursue wholeness need to lean into - truthfulness, mercy and love.

It's impossible to flourish in life without healthy relationships. Pete Greenwood begins unpacks Jesus' controversial teaching on anger and lust, showing how they destroy relationships and cut us off from flourishing.

Jesus introduces his listeners to the secret to experiencing true flourishing. But first, he challenges two classic attitudes that simply don't work - lawlessness and legalism. Listen to Pete Greenwood as he preaches on Matthew 5:17-20. 9 February 2020
