What does Jesus think preaching in the Kingdom should look like?

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." -- Mtt 13;44

In this episode we look at Jesus' Parable of the Net and how the Way of Jesus is by nature a missional movement to gather and save the world and that the day will come when that mission will be complete and the final judgement will separate those who are truly in Christ from those who are not.

In this sermon Fr Ryan looks at Jesus' teaching that the Good Seed of His Kingdom (the Gospel) will always outperform the negative elements of the hard and rocky ground and the threats and schemes of the evil one in the lives of every follower of Jesus and the church as a whole.

If God is good and the Kingdom of Jesus brings salvation why is there is so much evil not only in the world but in the Church? In this parable Jesus explains what frustrates and attacks His goodness in the world and what His plan is to counter it without hurting the wheat His good seed has grown.

This week Robyn Wilson unpacks Jesus' first parable in our new series and helps us consider how we are receiving the Good Word of Jesus.

Why doesn't Jesus just make things as simple and straight forward as possible when explaining God, His salvation work, and the nature of the Kingdom? Does He intentionally make it difficult to understand for some people while making it clear for others? In this sermon Fr Ryan shows God's revelation design in the words of Jesus in Matthew 13 as we kick off this new series on The Parables of Jesus.

As we continue our celebrations of the Resurrection of Jesus, Honorary Assistant Peter Norman preaches on 1 Peter.

What is the significance of Jesus not just requiring one "Beast of Burden" (donkey) but two? In this episode Fr Ryan looks at Jesus as the final relief of our burden ridden labour.

In this sermon Fr Ryan explains Christ's Church's culture of Radical Generosity and answers questions around tithing, healthy motivations for giving, toxic church pressure, and the church's call to make itself poor that the world would become rich in Christ.

How can we know that we can trust Jesus? Is there a sign that God could give us that would help us to trust unreservedly and even in difficult times? In this sermon Fr Ryan unpacks Jesus' response to the Pharisees and Scribes request for a sign in Mtt 12:38-42.

How serious are our words? What about those of us who just need to verbally process? What about those who struggle with negativity or anger? In this text of Scripture Jesus explains why our words are important (psst its the heart), what the eternal consequences are for our words, and how He is the Good News our hearts and our words have been waiting for.
