Hope City Church Edinburgh Sunday Sermons

We are looking at Matthew 13:24-43. In a world plagued by evil and suffering, where we often question why a loving God allows such turmoil, Jesus' parable of the weeds offers profound insights and hope: the harvest will come.

Celebrate this Easter with us as we share the hope that we have in the risen King Jesus.

This week we are exploring Matthew 13:1-23. How we hear and understand Jesus message of the Kingdom will determine whether we produce a harvest in our lives.

This week we are exploring Matthew 12:46-50. In contrast to the opposition Jesus has been facing, Jesus defines a new family - His followers. They are in the closest relationship with Him.

This week we are exploring Matthew 12:38-45. Jesus is confronted by some of the leaders and Pharisees demanding a sign, and he gives them a harsh answer due to their closed minds.

This week we are exploring Matthew 12:22-37. Jesus heals a man who was demon-possessed, but the Pharisees in the crowd aren't happy. Let's explore their charge against Jesus and his responses to them.

This week we are exploring Matthew 12:15-21. We see Jesus make a surprising withdraw to avoid a fight, and give a surprising command not to speak about him. Matthew, our gospel writer, helps us think about why Jesus acts in such a surprising way by quoting an ancient prophet. Come and think about what he has to say, and what it means for us.

This week we are digging into Matthew 12:1-14. Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath: the law is fulfilled in him to provide true rest forever, it is not fulfilled in the religion's burdensome regulations. Come to Jesus and reflect his mercy to others.

This week we are studying Matthew 11:25-30. People's rejection of Jesus led him to praise the Father for revealing his truth - not to the prideful and self-sufficient, but to the humble. Those who humbly accept Jesus's invitation to follow him will find rest for their souls. Only "little children" know Jesus, and only Jesus provides true rest.

This week we are studying Matthew 11:20-24. Jesus criticises several cities where he had performed miracles, because their people did not repent. In this passage, we see that Jesus' ministry was not chiefly about providing teaching or healing, but urging his listeners to repent of their sin.
