Be filled with the Spirit, not just content with a little sanctification, nor standing still and losing what we have. Look to Christ, and work out our salvation, praying for others to do so too.

Living for the glory of God as living letters, through Christ in us. (There is no YouTube video for this sermon, due to technical reasons - the building could not be opened due to the cold weather.)

The wise men listened to God's guidance, found Jesus, and worshipped him. Herod, guided by sin, opposed Jesus and sought to kill him. Let us not oppose Christ Jesus, but place our faith in him and follow him. Watch on yoytube: https://youtube.com/live/8AWiPFryMR4

God sent his Son into our world, so that we could enter his. Immanuel, God with us. Let us know God with us through repentance, and faith in Christ Jesus. And let us look forward to that great wedding feast of the Lamb to come, when we will truly be with God forever. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/2JECoLWB4UI

Christ Jesus is God, who lives outside of time. Yet he stepped into time, took on human flesh, yet did not sin. He lived an obedient life, suffered on the cross for those who were disobedient, and rose from the dead that we might have life. Let us come to him, through repentance and faith, and know him, and have assurance of eternal life in him. Watch Here on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/edpJ...

Jesus said that we are either with him or against him. When our world collides with his, or when we collide with him, we will not prevail. We ought to turn to him now, while we can, so that we will be exalted with him in due time. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/AGkKJ7ocmSI

The old nature is weak, even though the Spirit is willing. We find ourselves failing and sinning when we depend on our old nature. But we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Jesus persevered through anguish in Gethsemane. We too can persevere if we rely on him, his Spirit in us. If we pray in advance, we will be prepared for situations later on.

Jesus gave his life for us. His sacrifice was prefigured by the many sacrifices for sin in the old covenant, and before. Most significantly, the lamb sacrificed at the Passover represented Christ's giving of himself as the Lamb of God who takes away sins. While those sacrifices pointed forward to the cross, the Lord's Table looks back to the cross. In the Last Supper, Jesus disestablishes the old...

Jesus gave his life for us. Mary walked closely with him, and knew what he was going to do. She also knew what she was called to do. Even if others didn't understand her, she was humble obedient to the leading of the Spirit. Let us walk closely with Jesus too, that we may hear and obey when he calls us to act for him. Most of all, let us remember what he did for us in giving his life on the cross,...

What are we focused on regarding Jesus second coming? Instead of being obsessed with signs of the end times, we ought instead to long for Jesus. If we long for him coming, we will long for his presence now. So, let's keep watch, being on guard against all that would distract us, and let us draw closer to him.

Self-centredness even affects religion, making people pious but selfish, instead of God-centred and loving others. But God sees the heart, and praises those who serve him wholeheartedly, no matter how little they are able to do. Watch Here: https://youtube.com/live/io3sa0n1MVA

Christ Jesus is not simply God, nor simply man, but the God-man. Only by being fully God and fully man can he be our Saviour. Watch Here : https://youtube.com/live/Sv3lW7N5tFo

To love God as we ought to, and to love our neighbor as ourselves, we need God's love in Crist Jesus first. To be the people we ought to be, we to first place our faith in Christ Jesus. Watch here : https://youtube.com/live/WvCTgxGEzKo

Anyone who says that there is no life after death is wrong, according to Jesus. We can look forward to being with him in the next life, if we have trusted in him in this life. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/D_uqkJGErLI

Jesus showed and taught that we ought not to confuse political power with church influence, because the gospel and the church become compromised in the process. But we instead look forward to when there will be perfect government and perfect worship when Jesus comes again, under his rule. Let us give to government what it is due, but more importantly give to God all that he is due.

We have all failed to live as obedient servants of God. We all deserve punishment as a result. But in his love and grace he calls us to return to a faithful relationship with him, through Jesus' death on the cross. Christ came knowing he would be rejected, but his rejection was for our salvation.

We dare not question God, putting him on trial, standing in judgment over him. Instead, we ought to humble ourselves and repent, relying on his mercy and grace, trusting that he knows far better than us, that our thinking is warped by sin, but that he is working all things together for good, as we trust place our faith in Jesus, and follow him.

The visual parable of the withering of the fig tree, and the overturning of the tables, remind us that God will judge all who do not produce the fruit of the Spirit. But if we turn to him and just ask, he will give us freely, for whatever situation we are in need. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/h4on8doEOds

Christ is victorious over sin and death. He will have victory over all his enemies, and bring in a new world of peace and blessing. To share that with him, there and then, we must humble ourselves and repent, not seek power and position here and now. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/QaZ7qOBDrXo

Our greatest need is healing from spiritual blindness. Christ calls us to come, each one of us, to trust in him by faith and follow him. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/KEp9yF8l5OI

Jesus is not only our Saviour as the suffering servant, but also as our role-model. Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/mrPYohBV5fE

In order to take hold of the gift of eternal life, we need to let go of our own efforts to take hold of it and trust in Christ Jesus alone. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/1co31foPvsI
