    On the cross Jesus was mocked, insulted, abused. His response was only to offer forgiveness. We must learn from this.

    “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the chosen One” (23:35). “If you are the King of the Jews; save yourself” (23:37). “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us” (23:39)! When I’m watching a football match I can’t bear to hear ‘supporters’ shouting negativity, ...read more

    Preached on the Sunday of ’Christ the King’, this sermon addresses the question-What do we understand when we call Christ King? How does his Kingdom impact our lives?

    Instead of ruling from a throne, Christ the King reigns from the cross. In doing so he invites our allegance with the power of his love.

    Luke 23:33-43 “The Life and Death of a King” INTRODUCTION For the most part, we have a very jaded view of kings and royalty. They have, in a way, outlived their usefulness. We now use them for entertainment purposes. We read about their less-than-kingly exploits in the tabloids, and they are ...read more
