  • Jesus Plus Nothing Equals Salvation

    Contributed by Marty Hopkins on May 6, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,720 views

    A message that shares how a person gets to heaven and who God uses in the process. In this case, it is Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch.

    Jesus + Nothing = Salvation (Acts 8:26-40) It’s good to be in God’s house this morning. And what a privilege it is to share God’s message from God’s word here with you today. Let me start off by asking a very simple question, “How many here are good in math?” I wish I could say I’m with ...read more

    A message that shows how God reveals Himself to the world.

    Divine Design (Psalm 19) Well, what a privilege it is this morning to be able to share a message with God’s people from God’s word. As a matter of fact, I can’t think of anything I would rather do than stand up here before you and break open the word of God Almighty. You know why folks? ...read more

    A message about the restoring of a fallen brother or sister in Christ.

    “Operation Restoration” (Gal. 6:1-5) Good morning! Great to be with you as we break open God’s word to see what He has in store for us today. I’m reminded daily of God’s blessing and faithfulness to me and my family and it’s my heart’s desire to be faithful to him in what He has called me to ...read more

    A sermon on Mark 9:14-29 regarding the confrontation of the demonic-satanic in our lives and the power of Jesus to free and cleanse our lives.

    “Faith and the Power of God” Mark 9:14-29 Most of us want to live on the excitement of the highs in our lives. We don’t want to come back down to the valley and walk amidst the unbelief and ridicule. Our faith is not the kind that thrives on the assaults of unbelieving and unkind people. It ...read more

  • Church In Laodicea

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,972 views

    What was said to the Church in Laodicea - the seventh of the seven churches - and what it might mean for us today.

    Laodicea was a very, very wealthy city, founded by Antiochus II and named after his wife Laodice. The city was strategically located, where three major roads converged, so it was highly commercial. It was well known for its banking industry, its manufacture of black wool, and a medical school ...read more

     | 5,625 views

    A sermon for Advent Sunday, also alluding to St. Andrew’s tide and World AIDS day.

    Advent Sunday is a time that can mean so many different things to so many different people. As well as the start of Advent, it’s also the Sunday nearest to 1st December, marked as World AIDS Day, and the Sunday nearest to St. Andrew’s day, a traditional time for thinking about the mission of the ...read more

    A Sermon for Reformation Sunday - the last Sunday in October

    At St. Columba’s United Reformed Church in Oxford, where I spent many happy years, the premises are a little bit old and rambling. In a far away corner, not often visited was a hidden away toilet. This was always known as the Calvinist toilet, because it was very dark and gloomy. It’s a sure ...read more

  • God: Father, Son, And Holy Spirit

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,778 views

    A sermon on the doctrine of the Trinity

    The story is told of a man feeling suicidal, who climbed from his office window onto the ledge outside. Naturally his colleagues were concerned, and one climbed out and sat next to him on the window ledge. After a few words the conversation went something like this: “I get a lot of strength from ...read more

  • Sowing Seeds Of God's Kingdom

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Jun 11, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 9,466 views

    Mustard seed and the kingdom with practical examples

    I’ll begin by saying that our second reading is a very complicated passage indeed. Indeed, it’s so complicated and obscure that I’ve decided to say nothing about this morning, and concentrate on our gospel reading, because it would be too long and involved to try and make sense of it now. So, ...read more

  • The Significance Of Questions

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Jun 18, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,694 views

    Lookign at questions in the context of Job 38, and Jesus stilling the storm in Mark 4

    One of the most unhelpful ideas about Christianity, indeed about faith in general, is that doubt is the opposite of faith. It is not. Certainty is the opposite of faith. Doubt is an intrinsic part of faith, for by definition faith is about making a commitment and a decision about matters that ...read more

  • The Armour Of Light

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Nov 3, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,274 views

    Thinking more about the phrase, "the armour of light"

    There’s a proverb which says, "It’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness". I want to reflect, this evening, upon a phrase of Paul’s in that reading from Romans: the armour of light. As well as our usual, longer, silence after the sermon, there will some shorter silences as part of the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,192 views

    1 Corinthians 13’s message about Christian community

    In the film Four weddings and a funeral, during the first wedding, the reader begins the well-worn reading of 1 Corinthians 13, saying, "if I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal". As the reader pauses for breath, someone ...read more

     | 5,156 views

    A sermon on the Presentation of Christ in the Temple (also called Candlemas)

    I wonder if you’re familiar with fresh lychees? The fresh fruit is much more pleasant than the tinned variety. They are small fruit about the size of a walnut. On the outside is rough and robust skin, which might lead you think it wasn’t worth opening, but when one peels it, inside is a soft, ...read more

  • What Does It Mean To Be The Church?

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 4, 2005
    based on 26 ratings
     | 5,007 views

    How we are to be salt and light in the world

    Brooks Atkinson, an American journalist, said, “I have no objection to churches, so long as they don’t interfere with God’s work”. Why are we here? What does it mean to be the church in Farnham in 2005? Our gospel reading has some ideas for us on what it might be all about, and our epistle ...read more

  • The Church At Ephesus Series

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 4, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,179 views

    What can we learn today from the Church at Ephesus, one of the seven churches in Revaltion2 -3 ?

    Many people are frightened by the book of Revelation, because it seems to be unintelligible. I hope that, if not tonight, by the end of this sermon series at Advent, you’ll see that not only is it reasonably easy, with some careful background reading (which I’ve done on your behalf), for ...read more
