    The Examined Life in the Community of Grace Our key scripture today suggested to me the sermon title, The Examined Life”. You may have heard of this saying by Socrates, an ancient philosopher: “The unexamined life is not worth living." It struck me that, in some very strong language, what ...read more

    WE cannot fully understand GRACE unless we understand the depths of the fall.

    The SIN of Thought Matthew 5:21-22 To understand the gift of GRACE we have to discover the depths of SIN. Sometimes we think that sinning is only the dirty dozen or breaking the 10 Commandments. In the passage read this morning, we discover the Spirit of the Law. Jesus said, “You have heard it ...read more

    God calls us to committed faithfulness to one another as part of our commitment to him. He calls us to purity of mind and action, to help us maintain the purity of our relationship with our spouse. He calls us to keep our promises just as he keeps his.

    Introduction There’s a phenomenon that I’ve noticed over the past few years. That’s the phenomenon of ’the better offer’. It comes in two forms: the first is where you don’t reply to an invitation until the last minute because you might get a better offer; but the second is worse. That’s where ...read more
