The Globe Church Sermons

Jesus wept. Just two simple words. But in these words there is a depth of reality that can begin to make sense of our tears and give us hope.

Jesus responds to Martha with powerful words that drag the dim and distant future hope of resurrection right into the present reality. What is the life Jesus speaks of? And how can we experience it?

John 11 showed us Jesus as the one who loved Lazarus, Mary and Martha – and as the one who shows us his glory so that we may believe.

Our world has changed fast in the previous 20 years. We now inhabit a digital world and the way that we love one another needs to be carefully thought through. How do we use our online presence to make helpful, godly and loving connections with one...

How do we love one another in the church family as brothers and sisters? Relationships with men and women can so often be slightly awkward to navigate and in some circumstances become toxic. We explore some of these complicated issues in more depth.

A number of times in the New Testament we are told to love one another as God has loved us. His love is the model.

Hosea reaches his crescendo with a great call to return to God. He shows us where we turn from, how we return and what we return to.

We might have all sorts of questions we would love to ask God. But He has a question for us. And it could not be more important.

In Hosea Chapter 11 God paints a stunning self portrait. So often we can paint a distorted picture of God and it leads to unfaithfulness. Will you allow God to reveal what He is truly like?

In these chapters of Hosea, God warns His people that if they continue to sow to the wind (self-reliant, DIY religion) they will reap a whirlwind. The big call is to sow righteousness by seeking the LORD so that they might reap unfailing love.

God’s ambition for His people is not an external form of religion. Rather, it is a transformed heart that is devoted to Him. This is the radical work Jesus came to do in us.

Although God’s covenant love starts with Him and finds its source in Him – it has the goal of transforming us to be His devoted and loyal people.

When God chose how to relate to His people He did not establish a demand/reward relationship. Instead He established a covenant. He made promises that He unfailingly and unswervingly holds to. Even in the face of the most intense unfaithfulness.

Why should we be thankful to Jesus?

It is always important to take specific time to examine our hearts and seek to restore and renew our relationship with God

Immanuel. It means God with us. But it is not just a nice, sentimental Christmas thought. As we dig into what this name is all about we will see why we desperately need Him this Christmas.

John 10 has already shown us that Jesus is the Gate and Jesus is the Shepherd. That just leaves the sheep. What does it mean to be one of His sheep?

Jesus takes this beautiful image of a the Shepherd and applies it to Himself. A Shepherd is precisely what we need – and Jesus is that good Shepherd

Jesus speaks of Himself as the Gate. It is a rich and powerful image that will lead us to a deeper appreciation of Jesus.
