December 14, 2020 Sermon: The Light has Broken into the Darkness
Paul Axton Preaches - The advent of the light breaking into the world is not dependent on human decision. It is a matter of what God is doing. To focus on the mediation of law, on the mediation of history, or to picture faith as a mediation, is to miss the act of God in Christ.

December 07, 2020 Sermon: I would See Jesus
Paul Axton pits the salvation historical approach of N. T. Wright or the Quest for the Historical Jesus against the apocalyptic revelation of being found "in Christ" as in Galatians. Transference out of slavery to freedom does not depend primarily on history or time but a shift in relationship.
