St Boniface Whipton - Sermons

Gen 16:1-16, 17:1-7 Steve explains the story of Hagar, the Egyptian slave in the household of Abram and Sarah.  How she was the least of the household and badly mistreated – but God saw her and rescued her.  This is the story of our God who sees us whatever our status or circumstances and rescues us when we turn to Him.

Genesis 12:1-9, 15:1-6 Pippa looks at Abram's call, his choice to trust in God's word, and creating physical reminders of all that God has done in our lives.

Genesis 11:1-9 Reading the account of the Tower of Babel and resultant confusion amongst the people - Carl draws out how pride and the underlying desire to run their lives without God resulted God having to intervene to avoid disaster. Applying that to our lives today - Carl encourages us to pause and reflect on who is in the driving seat of our lives and to commit those areas of our lives we have...

Genesis 3:1-24 Lianne explains how the story unfolds of our rebellion against God. How we see the evidence today of a broken world but encourages us that we do not need to fear, God has paid the ultimate price to bring us back to peace with Him and eternal life.

Genesis  2:4-25 - God's perfect world in which man and woman lived in perfect harmony with God and everything was well and Adam and Eve knew what it was to be truly loved and have unbroken trust with God. An encouragement for us to allow God to show us that He is still the same God who can be trusted completely with everything in our lives.

Genesis 1:1-2:3 Carl explains the creation story as it is told in the first two chapters in Genesis and goes through some of the big questions that are asked in relation to this account.

Matthew 26:16-20. Steve shared about the background of the Great Commission and what it means for us today

Being good stewards and generous with the money God has given us , so that we can be a blessing with this important part of our lives. 2 Corinthians chapter 9:6 - 15.

Based on Matthew 6:25-34 where Jesus teaches us to trust Him with all of our cares and worries and to seek Him first and He will take care of us.

In this message Carl shares from Matthew 13:31-34 on how as the Church one of our roles is to scatter Kingdom seeds in as many ways we can, particularly concentrating on the power of our words to bring life or death.

Carl focuses on Luke 24 where the risen Jesus meets two disciples on the Emmaus Road and fills them with joy and amazement.

Dan walked us through the narrative of Palm Sunday, and how Jesus surprises the people who should have known him best - and how if we squeeze Jesus into our box of understanding, we can misunderstand him too.

Sarah talks through the story of Lazarus, and explains how Jesus is with us, even in our grief.

Carl thinks about Jesus as the Good Shepherd and how he nurtures us.

Dan takes us through the story of the Woman At The Well from John 4 and looks at how Jesus invites us to be truly known, and what it means when He invites us to know him.

As we start Lent, Carl takes us through the story of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness and how we can overcome the temptations of the enemy by imitating Him.

This talk is about looking outwards, sharing our faith and believing in the transforming power of Jesus for others.

Dan talks us through why community is an integral part of the vision of the church in Whipton.

Carl kicks off our first of three vision Sundays. He explains why pursuing a deeper connection with God is the foundation of our Church's renewed vision.

Carl brings us to the end of our revelation series by looking at the two final chapters of Revelation, and looking at what the Bible says happens when we die.

Dan takes us through some of Revelation 19, looking at the last battle and how Jesus fights for us, we need only to be still.

Sarah talks us through the symbolism of the Whore of Babylon and the Bride of Christ.

Steve takes us through Revelation 12:1-14:5 and explains how the death of Jesus, though it looks like loss, is the greatest victory of all history, and explains what that means for us as his children.

Our guest speaker, Bishop Mike - the Bishop of Exeter, reminds us of the big picture of the gospel, and our role in the Kingdom.
