Jesus said, “I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled!” (Luke 12:49). What does it mean that the Gospel doesn’t just comfort, but consumes and purifies? In this sermon for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost (Ordinary Time), The Rev. Derek Roberts explores Jesus’ words about holy fire — a fire that confronts, refines, and ultimately transforms us. Whether you are visiting church for the first time, a long-time follower of Christ, or someone giving church one last try, this message will point you to the hope of the Gospel: Jesus took the fire of judgment on Himself so that we might be purified, not destroyed. Scripture: Luke 12:49–56 Theme: The Gospel doesn’t just comfort — it consumes and purifies. Ordinary Time: The season of growth in discipleship, where God’s extraordinary fire meets our ordinary lives.

What if God’s Kingdom isn’t something you have to earn, but a gift your Father delights to give?

In this sermon from Luke 12:32–40, The Rev. Derek Roberts shares how Jesus’ words — “Fear not, little flock” — speak to our deepest anxieties about the future, our worth, and our place in God’s plan. Whether you’re a first-time visitor exploring faith or a long-time believer in need of fresh encouragement, this message will point you to the security, freedom, and joy found in the gospel.

Discover how the Father’s delight in you is anchored in Christ’s finished work, why the Kingdom changes how we hold our possessions, and how to live ready for the King’s return without fear.

We live in a world that tells us two lies: you don’t have enough and if you had more, you’d finally be enough. But Jesus tells us a different story. In Luke 12:13–21, He warns us about the danger of building bigger barns while neglecting the most important treasure of all.

In this sermon from Hope Church Anglican, The Rev’d Derek Roberts unpacks the parable of the rich fool and shows how the gospel frees us from the fear of lack and the lie of more. Discover how true riches are found not in possessions, but in a Person — Jesus Christ — and how His death and resurrection offer an inheritance that can never be taken away.
