Heritage Sunday Sermons

This Lord's Day, we wrap up our series in Isaiah's Christmas, and see the joy of the incarnation and the implications for us today.

Isaiah 11 depicts the reign of Immanuel as a time of wholeness and reconciliation with God.

As Isaiah continues his prophecies of the coming of Immanuel, he gives us the famous Names of Immanuel. In these four Names we learn the power Immanuel has as well as the nature of His reign.

The arrival of Immanuel was eagerly anticipated by God’s people for millennia. This Lord’s Day we will consider what the faithful were expecting—and how He comes to fulfil all that is needed by the human condition.

Isaiah prophesies that the coming of Immanuel will be a sign—a judicial sign of His faithfulness to a people who did not believe that He is faithful. This Lord’s Day as we begin our advent series in Isaiah, we will see the faithfulness of God contrasted to a faithless king.

Who is Christ and what makes Him qualified to be our great High Priest? We will look at an answer from the book of Hebrews as we consider the excellencies of the life of Jesus Christ.

In the famous Upper Room discourse, the Lord Jesus repeats one invitation over and over again to the disciples as He prepares them for His departure—pray. This Lord’s Day we will consider the Lord Jesus’ instructions as we consider how to conduct ourselves as His people as we seek to accomplish His work.

How will God’s work be achieved in the earth? What is God’s work that He is busy with? And how are we as a church called to be involved? This Lord’s Day we will seek to answer these questions as we reflect on the end of the year and the year ahead.

We conclude our series in the I Am statements of Christ by examining perhaps the most famous of these declarations. We will see in this passage that Christ calls all humanity to Himself.

As we receive new members of the body, we will remind each other what the Lord Jesus calls us to as part of His people. This Lord's Day, we consider the Lordship of Jesus Christ over His people as he rules over us in gathered local churches across the world.

When we are confronted with the reality of who God is and His works, the only appropriate response is worship. We look at Psalm 29 where David calls us to see God’s strength and worship Him.

In John 15, our Lord Jesus teaches His disciples that He is the True Vine, and we see the importance of abiding in Him and bearing fruit in our Christian life.

This Lord's Day, we look at Paul's letter to Philemon and see how the gospel ought to shape our life and how each decision we make should reflect the Grace that we've received in Christ Jesus.

This evening, we consider one of the clearest statements Jesus gives relating to His work in salvation and its ultimate end. In this passage, Jesus emphasises his power to give life to all those who believe.

What does the Scripture teach about friendship? Does it have any biblical importance? This Lord's Day, we will explore this doctrine from the book of Proverbs, looking at the marks of a true friend, which all points to Christ, the Friend of friends.

Jesus radically claims to exclusively be the Good Shepherd, and this claim is supported by His death for the saints! This proclamation is a comfort to believers who are sheep susceptible to be led astray by selfish shepherds.

After Isaiah’s sin is atoned for, he is commissioned with a message that he knows the people will not accept. This Lord’s Day we will consider the nature of hard hearts, and how we as God’s people are to conduct ourselves in light of those who will not believe.

The Lord Jesus contrasts Himself to a thief who comes in to steal. He says He is the One Who guarantees life. As we continue to see the I Am statements of Christ, we will be reminded of His centrality to life everlasting.

This Lord's Day evening, we look at Jesus' claim that He was 'The Light of the World'. How would the Jews have responded to this claim? How should we respond today?

Psalm 53 helps us understand that God is the only hope and life. In this Psalm we see the total depravity and final destruction of the foolish in the rejection of Him, and the deliverance of the faithful.

In the year King Uzziah dies, Isaiah sees a spectacular vision: The LORD on His glorious throne. From that moment, Isaiah is changed. This Lord’s Day we will consider this glorious vision and its implications for us.

This Sunday evening we consider one of the Lord's first I AM statements. In this statement, the Lord Jesus makes it clear that only He can give us all that we need for spiritual and everlasting life. This statement further proves His divinity and gives us confidence in His ability to hold us fast.

Where does all the corruption of the world come from? And why does it seem to persist and get worse? Isaiah uses two metaphors, the Branch and the Vineyard, and shows us that we must trust in the Branch. Join us this Lord’s day as we cover two chapters in Isaiah’s prophecy.

Enemies of the Gospel have claimed that only in the Gospel of John does Jesus declare Himself to be the I Am. However, this is palpably false. This Lord’s Day we will consider the multitude of cases in the Synoptic Gospels where the Lord Jesus reveals Himself to be the I AM.

As we continue in Isaiah's sermon on pride, we will consider how we can battle against the pride of rebellion and the pride of feminine extravagance.
