Heritage Sunday Sermons

In the fourth session of our Family Conference 2025, Ps. Jeff Smith answers questions related to Christian Duties and Fellowship in the Church.

In the first session of our 'Duties of Christian Fellowship' Family Conference 2025, Ps. Jeff Smith unpacks what it looks like to love one another.

In Acts 16 we see three different types of delivered sinners. Two are delivered into Christ, and one is freed but not transformed. In this text we will see what is true salvation.

We will consider the call to worship from Psalm 100, a call that bids all people everywhere to come and praise the Lord. We will see how this call is not just for those who believe, but that it is an evagelistic call also.

This Lord’s Day, we reflect on the profound privilege of belonging to God’s family. In Christ, we are adopted as sons and daughters and given His Spirit — receiving not only a new name, but also a new calling, with its duties, blessings, and privileges.

What does it mean to be Children of God and co-heirs with Christ? This Lord's Day we consider the Bible's teaching on the topic of Adoption.

When faced with the guilt of our sins, there is often a temptation to try and resolve this ourselves. We will be considering the futility of this approach and how the Cross is the only hope for anyone with a sin problem.

At the resurrection, Jesus gives the final proof that everything He has every said about Himself is true, and that He is truly the Son of God! Now that redemption has been finally achieved, He then gives us His mandate to go and make Him known to all the world!

As we begin our brief Easter Series, we want to think of the affliction that our Lord undertook in order to bring us to life.

As we begin our brief Easter Series, we want to think of the affliction that our Lord undertook in order to bring us to life.

As we conclude Isaiah’s saga of trusting the Lord, we come to the pinnacle narrative where the Assyrian king taunts the people of Judah for trusting in God. This scene resembles the Garden of Eden, where the serpent asks, did God really say? Sennacherib asks, did God really say you can trust him? This Lord’s Day we will examine this story and see how sin is often a matter of where our trust is.

Paul makes the argument that we must be controlled not by appetites but by what is beneficial. This Lord’s Day evening we will examine how we think about our freedom in Christ.

How do we get the peace that the Lord promises us in the Scriptures? Where do we look to find it? Is it obtained in a set of circumstances or perhaps in spiritual growth? For the benefit of the exiled people of Judah, Isaiah pens two psalms that center on how they can have peace in the midst of invasion. In these songs we see where peace is found.

In this section, Paul deals with how believers are to handle conflict within the Church, knowing that we are to judge angels.

The question of Jesus’ identity is something that everybody has to answer. The world has countless theories as to who He is and Who He is not. But the truth will remain; He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God Who has come to save us from our sin.

The church is called by Paul to separate from those who are persisting in sin, but what does this actually look like? This evening we consider the subject of church discipline and what it means to be put out.

As we continue looking at Paul’s instructions to the Corinthians regarding Church discipline, we see the importance of this practice for the sake of the sinner’s restoration, the Church’s health, and the Lord’s glory.

The Scriptures teach that whatever you treasure controls you, and the thing you focus on shapes you, and what you serve owns you. In light of this, the Lord Jesus teaches us to store our treasure in heaven.

The people of Judah rejoice and celebrate, but Isaiah sees the reality of what is coming as God prepares judgement and salvation. This Lord’s Day we will see why we should be more moved by spiritual realities as spoken in God’s Word than temporal phenomena.

Paul in Chapter 5 urges the Corinthians to be faithful to the Lord by dealing with the sin in their midst. And he gives them multiple reasons why this honours the Lord.

In his effort to remind the people of God to trust exclusively in the coming of Jesus Christ, Isaiah walks around naked for three years amid the people. This was to emphasise the nakedness of hoping in Egypt-and in any other false hope. In these two chapters we will see that to be a faithful believer is to actively denounce false hopes.

As we continue in Corinthians, we see the danger of pride and arrogance, and the importance of being others-centred, and Christ-like.

In the oracles to Damascus, Cush, and Egypt, there is much about the judgement of God. However, God’s judgement is not arbitrary. In these passages we will see that God’s judgment has purpose, is reasonable and shows us why we should trust Him.

As we continue our time in Corinthians, we see the importance of not making much of man and his philosophies, but to rather meditate on the truth that all things are ours in Christ Jesus.

Isaiah tells a tale of Moab’s distress and their cry for assistance from Judah. In this story we learn of the Lord’s compassion for sinners, of His requirement for salvation and of the blinding nature of pride.
