Resurrection Church Sai Kung Sermons

Hypocrisy is ugly, and is especially egregious when found among the people of God. The good news is God hates it and Christ condemns it. That is also the bad news for anyone whose words and deeds have not aligned. But Jesus is merciful and longs to protect us from the coming judgment. 27-08-2023 - Lucas Durant

After he had responded to their arguments, Jesus finally posed an argument of his own. After he had made his case "no one dared to ask him another question". How did he make an unanswerable case for skeptics to put their faith in him? He showed them what the scriptures say about him. And it is the key to faith, evangelism and spiritual growth. 20-08-2023 - Lucas Durant

When someone opposes the Christian faith - whether with arguments or with ridicule - how do you respond? Jesus shows us that we need never fear those who oppose the truth. Jesus goes on the offence against opposition, rebuking sin, arguing against error and calling people to faith in the true and living God. 13-08-2023 - Lucas Durant

Jesus says that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a wonderfully generous feast prepared for people... who don't turn up! How does God respond to the rebellious rejection of some? He calls others to feast with him. Have you come to the feast? 06-08-2023 - Lucas Durant

In order to know if we are making progress, we have to know where we are going. The Scriptures tells us that the end goal for all of creation is entering the restful enjoyment of God. Are you making progress? 30-07-2023 - Lucas Durant

Why do the Prophets put such emphasis on the Sabbath-keeping? It is because it is a sign of the covenant between God and his people. If they know God as their creator and redeemer they will rest. If they reject rest, they deny God. 23-07-2023 - Lucas Durant

Sometimes the difficulties of life can feel like the intense heat of the desert sun bearing down on us. We will not survive for very long without spiritual refreshment. Will there be enough? Where can we find it? Isaiah tells us that there are wells of salvation along our journey's path. 25-06-2023 - Lucas Durant

In Abraham's final test, we discover the essence of God's call, the response of faith, and the provision of the lamb. Even when we can't see our way though a situation, faith means trusting that the LORD will see to it. 18-06-2023 - Lucas Durant

There is joy and laughter in the fulfillment of God's covenant promises. Recognising the sheer impossibility of his works gives great security to Christians. 11-06-2023 - Lucas Durant

When His people are radically faithless and are shockingly sinful, how does the LORD respond? He is faithful to his promises, he accomplishes his purposes and he sometimes even uses our faithlessness to achieve his own goals. What a good God! 04-06-2023

The Sodom and Gomorrah story is a sordid affair. What are we to make of it? That though the Lord patiently offers mercy at every opportunity, the day of his catastrophic judgment against the unrighteous is coming. 28-05-2023 - Lucas Durant

The promises of God made Sarah laugh, but it was cynical laughter. What she needed was her own encounter with the LORD. When the LORD comes down to meet us, he turns our cynicism to joy. 21-05-2023 - Lucas Durant

When the LORD made a covenant with Abraham and with his descendants, he gave the outward, visible sign of circumcision to signify and inward, spiritual reality. 14-05-2023 - Friedemann Barniske

Sarai and Abram doubted the Lord. They were worried that if they didn't see to their own needs and desires, they would never receive their blessing. But by grasping after their own reward, they ended up blowing up their own lives and the lives of the people around them. Hagar trusted the Lord who saw her. For when the Lord sees, he cares. 07-05-2023 - Lucas Durant

God is committed to blessing his people. He graciously offers us the reassurance of a covenant, and enters into a binding relationship with us. Here's the deal - He will keep the covenant, or he will bear the penalty; We will keep the covenant, or he will bear the penalty. 30-05-2023 - Lucas Durant

Where are we looking for paradise? Lot, who lived by sight, sought paradise in his surroundings. Abram, who lived by faith in the call of God, sought paradise in the gracious promises of Lord. 23-05-2023 - Lucas Durant

Why do over half the people on the planet look back to Abraham as their father in faith? What is it about him and his story that is so appealing? It isn't so much Abraham that is appealing, but the God of Abraham. Just when the radical intervention of God was desperately needed in the world, he called Abraham personally to a relationship of total dependence with missional purpose. Abraham beli...

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead disrupts the world as we know it. Those who have faith in the risen Lord inhabit a different universe from those who don't. Which world are you living in? Which world do you want to live in? 09-04-2023 - Lucas Durant

Religious people can sometimes make salvation more complicated than it needs to be. But salvation is by grace through faith. And that faith has content - it is in the person and work of Jesus Christ. So how do people come to faith? They must hear the gospel message. Every Christian has been sent to proclaim it. How will you share it? 26-03-2023 - Lucas Durant

How does God guide us in life and equip us for every good work? Through the Holy Scriptures. Christians can build their lives on the Bible because it is wholly God-breathed, supremely beneficial and totally sufficient. 19-03-2023 - Lucas Durant

We are the church. We are a people saved by grace through faith in Jesus, and thereby adopted into the family of God. We are a family made up of all different kinds of people. How then should we relate to our Brothers and Sisters? 12-03-2023 - Heewoo Han

With all of the evidence pointing to the authority of Jesus as Lord, why do some remain in agnostic unbelief? Some people see the fulfilment of the Old Testament prophecies by Jesus, they hear his authoritative teaching and read eyewitness testimony about his miraculous deeds - yet they never move beyond "I don't know." Why? 21-02-2023 - Lucas Durant

Many people carry a sentimental, one-dimensional picture of Jesus in their minds; they think of him as a cardigan-wearing, soft-spoken, broad-smiling man who left everyone with a warm fuzzy feeling. But Jesus' first act of business after announcing himself as king was radically confrontational. What makes Jesus angry? Unfruitful religion. Why is that good news? Because the true religion he came to...
