Centre Street Church Audio Sermons

Jesus teaches that His followers are to love and do good to their enemies. Does this mean we should become passive and let others walk all over us? Does this mean we should do nothing to protect our lives, our livelihood or the lives of our loved ones? What exactly does Jesus have in mind when He says, "Love your enemies"?

How good is your word? Jesus says that people in His kingdom will be so 'truth-filled' that they will be truthful in all their relationships. Their yes will be yes, and their no, no!

This sermon explores the challenges and the hope God's Word gives to those who are struggling in their marriage and contemplating divorce.

Adultery doesn't start in a cheap motel. Adultery starts in the heart and mind of the person who lets lust grow.

Someone has said that the road to moral failure is rarely a 'blow-out' it is most often a 'slow leak'. Jesus' challenge for us is to understand the nature of lust and how it can not only lead to adultery and the dissolution of our marriage, but can also lead the unmarried person to miss God's call to remain faithful to their future spouse.

This podcast concludes the Sermon On The Mount series from Matthew 7:24-29 by looking at how Jesus challenged us to first of all examine the kind of foundation we are building our spiritual lives on and then being obedient.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives a number of examples of how we can bring His will in heaven to earth. One of those ways is how we deal with our anger and hurt and how we do that is reflective of the Lord we serve. If we are the lord of our universe, we will deal with our anger differently than if Jesus is Lord of our life.

The Bible is clear that gratitude is central to the Christian life; the curious thing about gratitude is that it originates from the root word ‘grace.’ If you feel in your heart that an immeasurable about of grace has been extended to you, you will express gratitude in your actions. This theme of cultivating a grateful heart is illustrated by a powerful display of gratitude towards Jesus found in Luke 7:36-50.
