Philippians 1:12-18 — “The things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel…” One of the reasons why Paul wrote to the Christians at Philippi was to allay their concerns about his imprisonment. He was under house arrest in Rome waiting to appear before Caesar, and the Philippians were…
Philippians 1:1-11 — “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment…” This is the first sermon in a new series of messages from Paul’s Letter to the Philippians. We cover the opening section of the letter, and concentrate especially on Paul’s prayer for the Christians…
Hebrews 6:7-9 — “That which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned…” In this message, Steve continues to take us through the text of Hebrews chapter 6. We see the warning and the encouragement that the author has for his original readers and for us today.
Matthew 26:36-36 — “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” In this sermon we reflect on Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. We think about His prayer to His Father and what it says about Him and about His…
I Samuel 3:1-10 — The call of Samuel while he was child in the Tabernacle is a familiar and much-loved story. In this sermon we reflect on his call and we find encouragement for these difficult days and an example for us to follow. There is also an exhortation to respond to the Word of the…
Judges 6:1-24 — In this sermon we consider the call of Gideon and as we do, we discover a person most of us can identify with. We also find some encouragement for our Christian life. This message was given on the occasion of Father’s Day so there are particular applications for fathers the things they struggle…
Luke 16:14-15 — “And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts…”
Luke 23:27-31 — “But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.” In this sermon, we consider what Jesus said to the women who followed Him as He carried His cross through the streets of Jerusalem. We think about who these women were, and…
Luke 16:1-9 — “And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely…” In this sermon, we consider one of Jesus’ lesser known parables, The Parable of the Unjust Steward. It is a story that many Christians puzzle over because it is not so easy to understand. Why was the unjust steward commended for…
Deuteronomy 22:1-4 — “Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them…” In this sermon, we consider some rather obscure commands that God gave His people in the Law. These commands were practical applications of the charge to love one’s neighbour. When we reflect on what God said,…
