The idea of a blood sacrifice for sin seems unpalatable, even distasteful, to many in the western world today. However, without the shedding of blood there can be no sacrifice for sin. Jesus' shed his blood (suffered and died in our place) on the cross, as the one and only effective blood sacrifice for sin for everyone in the world to avail of, by faith in him. The cross is unpalatable, but the only way for justice to be paid to redeem people to God, and allow us to have eternal life, by God's loving grace and mercy. (Sermon)

Christians are sometimes misunderstood, even opposed, in how they live out their walk with Jesus. Don't worry about criticism which stems from worldly thinking. The Lord will commend your godly actions in the long run. (Sermon)

The Christian life is not easy, as we struggle against temptation. But we can walk with Christ through faith, continually turning back to God, in love in trust and in risk.

We rejoice at Jesus' coming as the baby born at Bethlehem. But we also rejoice as we look forward to his second coming when he will usher in a new era where there is no more suffering, sorrow or pain,

or sin or separation from God. (Sermon)
