Preached on Sunday the 16th of October, 2022.  Jesus shows that he has authority over all things. Not only does he have authority but he is totally responsible for his people. Have you realised that Jesus has authority over all things, even you? Do you trust that he will provide for those who have faith in him? Submit to him in total humility and be led to obey him joyfully this day.

Preached on Sunday the 9th of October, 2022.  The Apostle Paul in this passage admits to a great personal discouragement and failure while he was at Troas. Where then does he turn to find triumph in light of his disturbed spirit? His answer is of great interest to us all, because when we look around at the evils of this world and at the many sins within ourselves; we too find a great many reasons...

Preached on Sunday the 2nd of October, 2022. 

Preached on Sunday the 25th of September, 2022.  For much of Jesus's ministry, he intentionally withdrew from the crowds and rejected fame. Yet when it was time for him to enter Jerusalem for the final time, he intentionally made his entrance as public as possible. Why did he do this? He was declaring that he is one, the King long-promised by God. Such a claim is as valid today as it was then...

Preached on Sunday the 18th of September, 2022.  Blind Bartimaeus shares many striking similarities with all of us in modern times. He too had only heard the news of the Lord Jesus Christ but never had the blessing of physically meeting him. Still, his faith in the Lord was so strong and persistent that he allowed nothing to stand between him and Jesus.  Is it so with us? Is our faith at all simil...

Preached on Sunday the 11th of September, 2022.  "The Lord gently corrects his disciples' selfish expectations by giving them the ultimate reason for self sacrificial love and service - "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Preached on Sunday the 4th of September, 2022.  "What is the way of entrance into God's glorious kingdom? What a crucial question! For eternal life can only be found in God and His kingdom. The rich young man in this passage is a vivid case study, showing that with man's efforts and achievements it is completely impossible to enter the Kingdom; but with God and His grace, all things...

Preached on Sunday the 28th of August, 2022.  An apostle, a slave and a slave-owner are all brought together in this wonderful letter of insight into the true nature of Christian love.

Preached on Sunday the 21st of August, 2022.  We are so used to bringing something to the table. Our jobs, sports teams and standing in society depend on it. Our standing before God is totally different. There is nothing we could offer him but our sin, shame, and guilt. If we think we could offer him anything good, we underestimate our sinfulness and underestimate his holiness. It is impossible to...

Preached on Sunday the 14th of August, 2022.  The covenant of marriage is a beautiful portrait of the reality of Jesus and His Church. Jesus reminds us in this passage about the exclusive one man, one woman, life-long union as defined by God from creation. This cuts against the cultural drift at many levels.  Divorce can only be seen as an emergency exit that God has provided because of our hardne...

Preached on Sunday the 7th of August, 2022.  We all understand the importance of truth for our lives. When we visit a doctor, we want a truthful and accurate diagnosis, no matter how confronting it may be. God's love is too great for him to flatter us and not teach us the truth. In this passage, the Lord Jesus speaks plainly about mankind's greatest danger, an everlasting fire on account...

Preached on Monday the 1st of August, 2022.  In this passage, the Lord Jesus intentionally withdraws from public ministry to make room for something of even greater importance. He took time aside with his disciples, and especially the twelve as the foundations of the church, to ensure that they understood what was absolutely central to Christ and his mission. What is this great, central truth? The...
