Hope City Church Edinburgh Sunday Sermons

We are concluding Jesus' teaching of the kingdom of transformed hearts through Sermon on the Mount. This week's passage is Matt 7:24-29. Hearing Jesus’ blueprint for His Kingdom of transformed hearts isn’t enough – put it into practice. Build on the rock.

This week we're looking at Matthew 7:21-23 in the bible.

In what has been described as “the most alarming verses in the Bible”, Jesus warns against the danger of relying on what we say and do when it is not matched by a life of increasing obedience to God’s will.

This week we're looking at Matthew 7:15-20 in the bible.

Jesus warns us to watch out for false prophets (or guides) - and teaches us how to spot them: by looking for the fruit of a transformed heart in their lives.

This week we're looking at Matthew 7:12-14 in the bible.

Jesus offers the “Golden Rule” as the summary of the Law and the Prophets. The essence of this rule is love, which cannot be perfectly fulfilled without God radically changing our hearts. Truly loving others begins with loving God, and love is, by nature, exclusive. It is no wonder then that Jesus speaks of a narrow way which leads to life, while all other ways lead to destruction. We must rest in God’s grace by entering this narrow gate, which is Jesus Himself.

This week we're looking at Matthew 7:7-11 in the bible.

God wants to give good gifts to his children. Jesus calls us to ask, seek and knock with commitment and persistence.

This week we're looking at Matthew 7:1-6 in the bible.

Jesus warns us to approach judgment with self-reflection and to recognise the danger of sharing the gospel with those who show utter contempt to it.

This week we're looking at Matthew 6:25-34 in the bible.

Worry comes when run after the wrong things, while Jesus teaches us to seek first His kingdom and righteousness.

This week we're looking at Matthew 6:19-24 in the bible.

Jesus warns us that we have to make a choice between God and money/stuff.

Jesus warns against hypocrisy while fasting - teaching an "inward" practice before God, not an "outward" practice before men.

Jesus teaches us to pray for spiritual protection from evil that comes from within ourselves and from our enemy, the devil.
