Sermon

There are many things in life that can leave us feeling fearful. Psalm 46 reminds us that we have refuge and strength in God. Peter Explains.

The justice of God is a concept that is not well understood in the modern world, but is essential for us to understand if we are to understand the character of God and his grace in the gospel. God’s justice is redemptive, just and worthy of our praise. Peter explains from Revelation 15-16, where the […]

The 16th century reformation was sparked by the rediscovery of the ancient truths of justification. Martin Luther realised that in the gospel, we are saved by faith alone. The truth of justification gave him great joy. This follows the pattern of the apostle Paul, who found joy in the truth that we are saved by […]

We long for rest but struggle to get it. Probably what we long for is more than just stopping work, but full rest and fellowship with God. Rest for our whole being. Revelation 14 describes the alternative realities for our eternal rest, depending on our relationship with Christ.

Sometimes it appears to us that bad is stronger than good. That Satan, who embodies opposition to Christ, is winning. Revelation 12 shows us behind the scenes and helps us understand that while Satan is powerful, God preserves his church and has defeated Satan. John explains.

In the modern world there are all kinds of beeps that technology can make at us – cars, fridges, washing machines, smoke alarms. We can get so used to them that we tune them out. The trumpets in Revelation 8 and 9 function in a similar way. Warning those who oppose God that judgement is […]

On good Sunday, a greeting often used is “Christ is Risen”, and the response is “Risen indeed”, but perhaps it would be good to respond with “and so are we.” In this passage in first Peter, we learn that Jesus resurrection didn’t just prove something to us, it worked something for us.

Whether we admit it or not, outside of Christ we have a massive problem. Sin spoils everything. As we look at the crucifixion of Jesus from Mark’s gospel, we learn of the consequences of sin, but even more that Jesus suffers so that we might have life. Life without sin or misery. John preached from […]

**NOTE: This week there was a Technical difficulty, and the recording is very unclear.** The injustice in the world can enrage or discourage us. It is hard to know how we can respond, and we can feel so powerless. This week we look at perhaps the worst injustice of all time – a truly innocent […]
