Heritage Sunday Sermons

How can Christians ensure that they are maturing in Christ? In our passage, Paul reproves the Corinthians for their immaturity and points them to God’s truth.

In the oracles against Babylon, Assyria and Philistia, the Lord shows that he humbles those who exalt themselves against Him. In these oracles we learn that the safest place to be is humble before His Sovereign Glory.

Paul explains in this text how the Lord gives true wisdom to those who are alive in Christ. The exhortation is a simple one; we have everything we need in Christ.

We resume our Isaiah series in chapter 13 as Isaiah pronounces oracles against Gentile nations. What we find in this first oracle to Babylon is that the Lord knows and controls the future—and that is reason enough to trust in Him.

Paul continues in his admonition to the church in Corinth regarding their idolising of messengers. As he continues, he emphasises the cross as central to our salvation and that it must not be tainted by vain words and concern with form. This Lord's Day evening we will consider the importance of the substance of the message of the cross.

Having once been Gentiles in the flesh, the Ephesians are exhorted to put off their old self with its sinful practices, and to put on their new self which has been created in true holiness and righteousness. As former spiritual Gentiles ourselves, this text helps us to see what forsaking our previous practices looks like, and what taking on Godly practices means.

Paul exhorts the church at Corinth to beware of dividing over different preachers and teachers. The church, if she is to remain faithful to Christ, but not be filled with people who follow "Apollos" or "Paul." This Lord's Day evening we will study this command.

The story of Jehu is one of the most frustrating in the entire Scriptures. On the one hand, Jehu is honored by the Lord for his well doing in executing the Lord’s justice. On the other, he is reprimanded for not giving his heart entirely to the Lord. This Lord’s Day we will consider this story and learn the Lord’s desire for whole-hearted worship.

Paul begins his first letter to the Corinthians by reminding them that they are made rich in Christ. This Lord’s Day we will consider this passage and remember the blessings of faith as we begin our exposition in the book of First Corinthians.

How are repentant sinners received in the Kingdom of God? This Lord’s Day we look at the parables in Luke 15 where the Lord Jesus shows us the joy with which repentant sinners are received.

This Lord’s Day, we will consider the scriptural teaching for each to remain in the situation they were in at their calling, and we will consider the importance of contentment and faithfulness for all believers in every circumstance.

As one approaches the end of the year, one typically begins thinking about the new year’s goals and resolutions. This Sunday we will consider what resolutions should be on our minds as we endeavour to live Christ-glorifying lives..

This Lord's Day, we wrap up our series in Isaiah's Christmas, and see the joy of the incarnation and the implications for us today.

Isaiah 11 depicts the reign of Immanuel as a time of wholeness and reconciliation with God.

As Isaiah continues his prophecies of the coming of Immanuel, he gives us the famous Names of Immanuel. In these four Names we learn the power Immanuel has as well as the nature of His reign.

The arrival of Immanuel was eagerly anticipated by God’s people for millennia. This Lord’s Day we will consider what the faithful were expecting—and how He comes to fulfil all that is needed by the human condition.

Isaiah prophesies that the coming of Immanuel will be a sign—a judicial sign of His faithfulness to a people who did not believe that He is faithful. This Lord’s Day as we begin our advent series in Isaiah, we will see the faithfulness of God contrasted to a faithless king.

Who is Christ and what makes Him qualified to be our great High Priest? We will look at an answer from the book of Hebrews as we consider the excellencies of the life of Jesus Christ.

In the famous Upper Room discourse, the Lord Jesus repeats one invitation over and over again to the disciples as He prepares them for His departure—pray. This Lord’s Day we will consider the Lord Jesus’ instructions as we consider how to conduct ourselves as His people as we seek to accomplish His work.

How will God’s work be achieved in the earth? What is God’s work that He is busy with? And how are we as a church called to be involved? This Lord’s Day we will seek to answer these questions as we reflect on the end of the year and the year ahead.

We conclude our series in the I Am statements of Christ by examining perhaps the most famous of these declarations. We will see in this passage that Christ calls all humanity to Himself.

As we receive new members of the body, we will remind each other what the Lord Jesus calls us to as part of His people. This Lord's Day, we consider the Lordship of Jesus Christ over His people as he rules over us in gathered local churches across the world.

When we are confronted with the reality of who God is and His works, the only appropriate response is worship. We look at Psalm 29 where David calls us to see God’s strength and worship Him.

In John 15, our Lord Jesus teaches His disciples that He is the True Vine, and we see the importance of abiding in Him and bearing fruit in our Christian life.

This Lord's Day, we look at Paul's letter to Philemon and see how the gospel ought to shape our life and how each decision we make should reflect the Grace that we've received in Christ Jesus.
