John 13:18-13:35 | Jesus said that the distinguishing mark of His disciples would be their Christ-like love for one another. Where Christians love each other as Christ loves us, the gospel is displayed and confirmed to the watching world.

John 13:1-13:17 | Jesus took the posture of a servant by washing His disciples' feet. This revolutionary act reveals why He came and what He sends His disciples to do.

John 12:20-12:50 | The Good News of Jesus is that those who confess Him as their King and believe in His finished work on the cross are forgiven of their sin and set free from condemnation and shame. This Gospel is such Good News that it demands that we live for God's glory and service as Jesus did. Have you been saved by God's grace? Are you living for God's glory? And are you a fully devoted fol...

John 12:9-12:19 | The way of Jesus poses such a threat to our preferred way of life that many are not willing to surrender their lives to Christ. While the faith of others is not a faith in God as He reveals Himself in Scripture but in the god of their own imaginations. Finally, those who surrender their lives to Jesus will experience the gospel so profoundly that they cannot keep from making Him...

John 12:1-12:8 | A stark contrast exists between a woman named Mary and a man named Judas. Mary's response to Jesus is one of extravagant worship. Whereas Judas finds such a response to be unreasonable. We explore why such a contrast exists and what Christian worship truly is.

John 11:45-11:57 | Jesus's miracles causes division. Some of the Jews believe, but the leaders do not and plot to kill him. Little do they know that in working against Jesus they are accomplishing God's plan. We can always trust that God's good plan prevails.

John 11:1-11:44 | Jesus did what no one saw coming and what no one else can do: He brought a dead man back to life! And that's good news for you and me. Jesus is the resurrection and the life, which means He dealt with sin and death so that we can be forgiven and receive eternal life.

John 10:31-10:42 | What did Jesus believe about the Bible? The answer to that question is foundational for followers of Jesus. This text is one of the clearest and strongest claims by Jesus regarding the authority and inerrancy of Scripture.

John 10:19-10:30 | What is recorded in Scripture (and in the Gospel of John itself) is sufficient for faith in the Son of God for salvation. Those who hear His voice and follow Him are His sheep and nothing can snatch them from His hand.

John 10:1-10:18 | The Greek word used to describe Jesus as the Good Shepherd is a word perhaps better translated 'beautiful'. So what makes Jesus such a beautiful shepherd? As our text describes, it's many things! He knows, calls by name, and leads His sheep out of lesser allegiances and into His fold, the Church. He is the salvation, protection, and provision for His sheep. And He loves them so m...

John 9:13-9:41 | How can you know that you truly belong to Jesus? How can you tell if you belong to the light or the darkness? Do you have eyes for Jesus or are you blind to him? In the second half of John 9, we see a contrast between those who are spiritually blind and those who have their spiritual eyes open.

John 9:1-9:12 | The account of Jesus healing a man who was blind from birth in John chapter 9 is not so much about the physical healing of one person as it is the spiritual healing of any person. Today's sermon points to the work of God that He alone is able to accomplish in any person living in darkness.

Matthew 28:16-28:16 | In order to start the new year off right, we need to refocus on the mission before us. Our charge is to make disciples and help people to follow Jesus the way he has set out. It was Jesus' last words, his marching orders to us while he was on earth. So why then do we struggle so much? Why do we shrink back and become numb to Gods will for our life? What we need is a new heart...

Luke 1:26-1:47 | Christian faith requires the commitment of your whole life but to go from uncommitted to fully committed to Jesus is a process. Perhaps you'll see yourself in the responses of Mary to the miracle of Christmas and the Good News of Jesus Christ.

2 Samuel 11:1-12:31 | Matthew's genealogy tells us that David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah. This reminds us of the story of David and Bathsheba. David was the greatest king Israel had and he was an adulterous murderer. We need a Saviour greater than David and God provided the King we need by sending His Son Jesus.

Ruth 1:1-4:22 | The story of Ruth (one of the five women named by Matthew in the genealogy of Jesus) is one of the most beautiful ?"rags to riches" stories ever told. It is a story of the redemption and rescue of an unlikely person, in the midst of dooming circumstances, and at great cost to the redeemer. And it all points to Jesus, our Great Redeemer, who is able to rescue us, under any circumsta...

Joshua 2:1-2:24 | Rahab is the second woman mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5). Her story is one of faith in the God who brings outsiders into the redemption found in Jesus Christ.

Genesis 38:1-38:30 | Tamar is the first woman mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus. The story of Tamar and Judah (Genesis 38; Matthew 1:3) is one of redemption for those who have been unjust and have experienced injustice.

Romans 1:26-1:27 | There are few issues in our day that are more polarizing than homosexuality. On the whole Christianity is perceived as a faith that hates gay people, which just isn't true. That said, many church-goers and churches have behaved badly. They have been unwelcoming, rude, judgemental, and even hateful. Christians need to know how to hold the Truths of Scripture faithfully and not ca...

Matthew 5:31-5:32 | Marriage, being an integral aspect of God's ongoing plan of redemption, is under attack as never before, making divorce a prevalent, painful reality. But broken marriages can be redeemed, and relationships can once again flourish as biblical standards are upheld and grace, compassion and forgiveness are extended.

Luke 5:1-5:11 | The Biblical narrative is a picture of failure, discouragement, and despair. The empty nets are the sign of failure... When we have come to the end of our rope and we have convincing cases for dropping out, giving up, and our hands are blistered from pulling up empty nets, Jesus is saying, at my word and in my power move from your problems to my possibilities.

1 Corinthians 7:7-7:9 | While Christian marriage puts the gospel on display, Christian singleness reveals the sufficiency of the gospel.

1 Timothy 2:8-3:7 | Men and women are created equal by God, together are image-bearers of God, and are complementary to one another in our varying and mutually beneficial roles in (the home and) the church.

Ephesians 5:22-5:33 | The ultimate purpose and perfect model for human marriage is the relationship between Christ and the Church: The Church's submission to Christ is the model for a wife's submission to her husband.

Ephesians 5:22-5:33 | The ultimate purpose and perfect model for human marriage is the relationship between Christ and the Church. And the husband bears the primary responsibility for Christlike servant leadership, protection, and provision in the home, leading to the flourishing of the family.
