Sealed With A Kiss Series

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on Oct 4, 2007

Song of Solomon presents us with a soul-ravishing view of Christ. In this sermon we focus on a colour, a contact and a comparison.

INTRODUCTION Song of Solomon is a very wonderful book. C H Spurgeon called it the holy of holies of the Bible. It is so sacred to the Jews that a person must be 30 years old before they are permitted to read it. The book is read every year at Passover. Like Esther, there is no mention of God. There ...read more

No Condemnation

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on Jul 9, 2008

The boundless mercy of Christ as displayed in His treatment of the woman taken in adultery.

We Preach Christ Crucified

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on May 27, 2008

The battle-cry of the early church.

1. PLURALITY "We". Notice that Paul didn’t say "I preach Christ crucified" but "We preach Christ crucified". He wasn’t the only one who preached the gospel.

Broken Things God Used

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on Jun 4, 2008

Do you feel broken? God uses people like you. This sermon highlights those things in scripture which were broken before they were used.

Hallowed Be Thy Name Series

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on Jun 16, 2008

A study of the first request in The Lord’s Prayer.

INTRODUCTION The name of the LORD is a recurring theme in scripture. There are 90 references to it in the Psalms alone. To the Jews, God’s name is so sacred they won’t even say it.
