  • Confess And Believe

     | 7,002 views

    Made righteous through the righteousness of Jesus, which we receive by faith in Him. Whoever believes in Jesus shall not be ashamed. Whoever calls upon His name will be saved. Sincere faith leads to public confession of Christ.

    CONFESS AND BELIEVE. Romans 10:9. According to a Roman historian, the Emperor Claudius ordered all the Jews to leave Rome after public disorders caused by the preaching of the claims of Jesus Christ in the synagogues. This fact is echoed in the Scriptures, where we find the Jewish Christian ...read more

    The Creating Spirit is still at large. Our life is in His hands.

    A CELEBRATION OF THE CREATOR’S PRESENCE IN CREATION. Psalm 104:24-35. Psalm 104 is not only a celebration of the LORD having created all things in the past, but also a celebration of how He is involved in Creation as it is today. This is why the Psalm as a whole does not just slavishly follow ...read more

  • Pursuing The Mark

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 20, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 12,390 views

    Paul the persecutor was turned into Paul the pursuer. The Christian life is not static, but vigorously active.

    PURSUING THE MARK. Philippians 3:4-14. The starter’s line for this passage is the Apostle Paul’s polemic against false teachers, whose confidence lies in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-4). “The flesh” here represents self-help religion, which stands contrary to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,353 views

    A call to universal and personal praise.

    A SYMPHONY OF PRAISE. Psalm 150. The young man whose turn it was to lead worship stood up in front of the whole assembled Bible College. 'I cannot think of any reason to praise the LORD,' he announced. With that, he sat down again, hidden from sight behind the pulpit. There was an ...read more

  • A Shepherd Oracle

    Bad shepherds versus the Righteous Branch.

    A SHEPHERD ORACLE. Jeremiah 23:1-6. Peter writes to the elders of the church, ‘Shepherd the flock of God, exercising oversight… not as exercising lordship over them, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd has been manifested, you shall receive the unfading crown of glory’ ...read more

  • A King Born

    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,110 views

    Seek, worship and rejoice in Jesus.

    A KING BORN. Matthew 2:1-12. It is unusual for somebody to be born already possessing the title of “King” – but this was the case with Jesus. Matthew’s report simply states that Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1): but he quotes the identity of Jesus as “born King” from the lips of the ...read more

  • The Truest Freedom

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,063 views

    We are set free - to the truest kind of liberty.

    THE TRUEST FREEDOM. Galatians 5:1; Galatians 5:13-25. Paul established the contrast between bondage and freedom by the use of an allegory concerning Hagar and Sarah, and their respective sons (Galatians 4:22). When we are born into this world, we are born into bondage to the corruption of ...read more

  • Grace Amid Judgment

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 8, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,570 views

    Grace cannot be silenced, even in the face of judgment.

    GRACE AMID JUDGMENT. Hosea 1:2-10. This is ‘the word of the LORD that came to Hosea, son of Beeri’ (Hosea 1:1). The name Hosea, like Hoshea, Joshua, Jeshua and Jesus is derived from the verb ‘to save’. Hosea, like his contemporary Amos, prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel during the ...read more

  • Hope Amid Hopelessness

     | 7,095 views

    God is good, and all things work together for good.

    HOPE AMID HOPELESSNESS. Lamentations 3:19-26. It is all too easy to forget that these words of hope and encouragement have been drawn out of the midst of the Book of Lamentations. Jeremiah penned these among the ashes of Jerusalem, a city once known as ‘the joy of the whole earth’ (Psalm ...read more

  • The Curious Case Of The Millionaire Who Thought He Was Poor

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,032 views

    Money is a thorny question and many of us think we are less rich than we are. "Money dysmorphia". In Luke 12:13-21 Jesus challenges us on our attitude.

    This sermon was first preached 3rd July 2025 at St Grabriel's Acton. It builds on some of my previous sermons on the topic preached elsewhere especially "Frenchie upsets his dad"; "Baking bigger cakes - wealth creation the Wesley Way" and "Generous Wallet Happy ...read more

  • The Voice In The Wilderness.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,355 views

    Never mind the preacher. Look to the One preached.

    THE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS. John 1:19-28. The witness of John is put on record (John 1:19) because the Council in Jerusalem sent a delegation to him, asking who he thought he was, preaching without licence (from them) out there in the wilderness. They surely knew he was a priest’s son, but ...read more

  • An Elderly Joseph On His Death Bed Writes A Letter For Jesus To Read After He Is Gone. Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 1,720 views

    A sermon that is more than just a story - but designed to get us thinking about who Jesus is. Inspired by the novel Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.

    This sermon was preached first at St Nicholas Church Perivale on 29 December 2024- using the Church Worship's 1st Sunday of Christmas Year C, but could also fit with the Catholic tradition of cleebrating that Sunday as "The Holy Family" or with Holy Innocents or St Joseph's day. ...read more

     | 2,899 views

    I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

    KNOWN BY GOD. Psalm 139:1-6, Psalm 139:13-18. What convinced me of the reality of the God of the Bible - 'the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' (Ephesians 1:3) - was not intellectual argument, but personal encounter. This occurred in two phases: first in a sense of guilt ...read more

  • The Gospel Of Jesus Christ Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on May 20, 2022
     | 3,305 views

    The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a message of 1) Power (Romans 1:16b), 2) Salvation (Romans 1:16c), 3) Faith (Romans 1:16d), and 4) Righteousness (Romans 1:17).

    Romans 1:16–17. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” ...read more
