Sermons in Discipleship
Fighting the Good Fight
As we read about King David’s mighty men who fought bravely in battle, we are reminded that all believers are enlisted in Christ’s service and called to fight for him.
Strength for the Battle
Four simple lessons here: call on God for deliverance; obey his word; go into the battle with faith; give thanks to Christ before unbelievers.
Where Could I Carry My Shame?
Amnon’s assault of his sister Tamar further exposes the systemic sin of sexual immorality in the House of David. Today, Christ’s sacrifice for sin cleanses, heals and restores all who bear such shame and guilt.
You are the Man: The Role of the Prophet
When the Prophet Nathan confronted King David with the king’s adultery, he demonstrated the challenges that face all those who would speak God’s truth to a sinful and fallen world both in his time and today.
Sowing to the Spirit
There are consequences to our actions. Sowing to the flesh reaps destruction, but sowing to the Spirit reaps eternal life.
What Do You See?
In this new series, More Than Conquerors, we want to consider how God’s people followed him in times of adversity. In Jeremiah 1, what God reveals to Jeremiah about his life and ministry is true not only of Jeremiah but also of us.
Hope and Holiness
Peter’s call to action is a call to renew our Hope and the pursuit of Holiness, both of which will be brought to perfection on the day of Christ’s return.
Our Living Hope
Peter blesses God for the hope of an eternal inheritance and also for his testing and proving of our faith in the midst of trials which is for our good, turning us toward him and resulting in joy.
The Voice of the Good Shepherd
At a time of uncertainty, we need to listen to the voice of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who tends, defends, and feeds his flock.
The Labour of Love
Paul longs to see the Thessalonians face to face because he loves them and wants to be with them in person and not merely in spirit. It is this love that drives him to send Timothy so they will not be alone.
God Fulfils His Purpose
David concludes that we should wake up and praise God because we all have significance to him and so, God's faithful love can not be drowned out in our personal circumstances or in the midst of the Church's contemporary cultural challenges.
I Trust in the Steadfast Love of God
In Psalm 52 we see the anguish and righteous anger of David when responding to an event of utter sin and evil: the slaughter of Ahimelech and his house for the help they had given David.
