Sermons from Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

Revd Tony Miles: 'What are you looking for?' by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

'As a church I believe we have pastoral calling, to build the church, a prophetic calling to speak truth to power. And to feed the people in God’s name spiritually and practically and in the power of the Holy Spirit.'

‘Learning to eliminate hurry can help us re-discover the life of love, joy, and peace that Jesus wants for us.’

God has promised us his abiding presence on this journey. Even in the storms of life. He has promised us his peace that passes all understanding…. peace the world cannot give. Peace that cannot be purchased on or offline. Most importantly, we have the reward of his promised eternal life.

Today the invitation from God is to know that it is in our weakness that we are made strong, for it is then that God is at work most powerfully in our lives, for ourselves and for others to see. So, delight in your weakness, boast in it even, for God will use our places of brokenness to shine powerfully in the world.

Do we trust in a God who is true, faithful, and just; do we believe in a Creator who’s seeking to redeem what has been made? Do we trust in a loving God whose nature is to rescue from the grip of sin and enable hope and new life through his son, Jesus the saviour of the world?

Let us trust in the Lord, who commands the winds and the waves, and find our peace in Him, no matter what storms we face.

'There is no gospel in which Jesus remains buried in the ground like a dormant seed. Like Jesus rose from the tomb, the kingdom of God will always burst forth, bringing light, laughter and life.'

“Store up treasure in heaven… be more concerned about how many people you are sharing the good news of Jesus and helping to grow their faith, rather than just growing your savings.”

On #TaxJusticeSunday Sarah Edwards from Just Money Movement spoke to our 11am Congregation.

'Do we possess the sacrificial love, the courage and the humility, to allow others to stand on our shoulders, so that they can do what God’s calling them to do, and so enable the work of the Kingdom?'

Revd Dr Joyce Popoola: ‘Extraordinary Love’ by Methodist Central Hall, Westminster

‘Every person in this world is loved by God unconditionally. Our Maker longs for us to turn towards his love. All who feel drawn to pray, I believe is experiencing the prevenient grace of God and the Holy Spirit is at work.’

‘Does God still bring people together at certain times and for certain purposes? I have no doubt in answering with complete conviction; “Yes, He does”…If Jesus Christ is the vine and we are the branches, then we are in a living and dynamic relationship with Him – and with each other! And it is God makes our relationships fruitful.’

‘If this morning you are feeling hopeless about any situation, you are in the right place. Put that situation into God’s hands in prayer. And hear the words of Jesus speaking to you this morning, saying, “trust me,” I am the Good Shepherd, and I am here to make all things new.’

‘If we want society to change, we need to SEE the need; FEEL the need and be MOVED to respond in some way. What’s more, those who we’re moved to help, must be open to receive it.’

The resurrection sometimes feels too good to be true; sometimes fear, doubt, and grief can overwhelm us; sometimes ‘hope’ and ‘promise’ are harder to bear than ‘fear’ and ‘despair’. Yet, if we look into the tomb, there’s nothing there, but if we sincerely look for the Jesus, We WILL find him risen!

'We see Jesus – whoever we are and whatever century of history we live in – we see Jesus most clearly when we come close to the cross, which is what we are invited to do as we move on through this Passiontide and into Holy Week.'

‘Let us recognise, and never underestimate, the power of love, prayer, nurture, faithfulness, and obedience in parenthood. Not only upon the life of the individual, but upon our families, communities and even the world.’
