1M ago25:52

Romans 6: 1-11 - The Broken Power of Sin 24:38

2M ago24:38

24:38

In this sermon, we think about how Paul shows how perverse it would be to continue living in sin just so that the grace of God could increase.

Romans 5: 12-21 - Adam and Jesus contrasted 28:27

3M ago28:27

28:27

In this sermon, we see who we are in our natural selves in Adam - but also the benefits that Jesus brings to us as the 'second Adam'.

Romans 4: 18-25 - The Kind of Faith Abraham had. 26:12

4M ago26:12

26:12

In this sermon, we think about the kind of faith that Abraham had - and that it was not blind faith, but a faith based on God's Word. Similarly, even when the evidence goes against it, we are called to have faith in God who can do the impossible because of what his word says. First preached: 31st August 2025. Speaker: James McNay.…

Romans 4: 9-17 - Abraham, father of all who have faith 27:02

5M ago27:02

27:02

In this sermon on Romans 4: 9-17, we think about how Abraham had faith before he was circumcised and how therefore he is the father of all who have faith. This meant that for Jewish background believers and for Gentile background believers that what was important was faith in Jesus Christ. And only that faith could save them. We then go on to think…

Romans 4: 1-8 - The Faith of Abraham 23:56

5M ago23:56

In the third of our series looking at our connections and relationships, we come to 1 Corinthians 7 and think about marriage and singleness.

This is our final sermon in Matthew's Gospel. Though Jesus has completed everything that he has to do through his death and resurrection, the story has not ended.

27:16

In this sermon, we continue our series in Matthew's Gospel and consider the empty tomb. The women who go to the tomb early on the Sunday morning find it empty - and then meet with the risen Jesus.

Matthew 26: 57-68 - Jesus before the Council 23:33

9M ago23:33

23:33

In this sermon, we see Jesus being falsely accused and condemned by the High Priest and the Council. The priests and elders were unable to see beyond their own power - and saw Jesus as an inconvenience and someone to be got rid of at any cost. We think about how we are to stand for truth - even when it is inconvenient - and how much Jesus went thro…

Matthew 26: 47-56 - Jesus is betrayed 27:41

9M ago27:41

27:41

In this sermon, we think about Jesus being betrayed by Judas. We note how Jesus' demeanour has changed from agony to peace as he centres himself in the Father's will.

10M ago27:41

27:41

In this sermon, we hear of Jesus predicting that all the disciples will desert him before he goes to the cross. We see how Jesus sees this as a fulfilment of Scripture and also the disciples vociferous denials that they will do such a thing. We reflect on how though the disciples are well-meaning - that they are also human and cannot do what they w…

10M ago24:36

24:36

We continue our series in Matthew's gospel, and we read of Jesus being anointed with expensive perfume at Bethany.

25:27

In this sermon, we think about joy mainly from Matthew 2: 1-12 and the story of the wise men.

1y ago20:51

20:51

In this sermon, having read all that Paul has said about all falling short of God's glory and all being sinners - we finally see the solution to sin.

Romans 3: 9-20 - The Sinful Condition 24:50

1y ago24:50

24:50

In this sermon, we look at Romans 3: 9-20 which concludes the first main part of Paul's letter to the Romans from 1:18 through to 3:20. We see how Paul has laid a firm foundation and shows that all are sinners and that no-one is righteous - it doesn't matter if you are Jew or Gentile. Therefore by the end of 3:20, the question in our minds ought to…
