Sermons on Christian character (Page 7)
James starts the new series on escaping the trap of ambition. He looks at what makes for selfish ambition and how we are to strive after godly ambition – using our gifts and talents to extend God’s purposes and his kingdom.
Rory continues the study around Jesus discourse with his disciples in John 15. He looks at our complete dependence on Jesus, as branches , connected to and abiding in the vine. He also explains how “abiding” means obeying his commands and as a consequence, bearing the suffering of being hated by the world while demonstrating the love of God through practical acts of service and kindness.
Dave continues with the second half of John chapter 13, contrasting the betrayal of King David with the betrayal that Jesus experienced. He looks at Jesus troubled but loving heart, the heart of Judas: deceitful and covetous and the heart of Peter – willing but weak and the remedies the Bible gives us for a weak heart.
Johan continues our series in John and we move into an intimate time of Jesus teaching his closest disciples in the last few days of his life. In this passage, Johan looks at the act of Jesus, Lord and teacher, washing his disciples feet – helping us understand the radical, invasive love of Jesus and how this example needs be followed.
Johan concluded the series in the minor prophets with a powerful consideration of the age old question that is still so relevant today: Where is the God of justice? He takes time to consider the heart behind this question and the response from a living and just God, who has eternity in view.
Jonathan looks at the early life of Mary and at the moment at the cross when Jesus’s heart reaches out to his mother. The lessons here are powerful and practical for how mothers should endure and children should care for their mothers.
Dave continues the series in Malachi considering the impact of the broken promises on the nation of Israel and how we can see a parallel and a warning for ourselves as new testament Christians. The talk looks at the two key covenants: 1. The covenant with Levi 2. The marriage covenant.
Johan continues the short series in “Messages from the minor prophets”, teaching from Malachi chapter 1. He considers the charge God brings against the Israelite nation who were bringing their “lefts-overs” as offerings to God. He then considers what sacrifices New Testament believers can bring and how these reveal the state of our hearts.
Bruce continues his series on Haggai looking at the subject of priorities and putting God first even when we are discouraged. He covers three important habits we need to cultivate to persevere in the right priorities.
