Sometimes our priorities, practices, or passions are not in line with God's purpose or plan. Then Jesus may need to "flip some tables" in our lives. Listen as Pastor Brian explains.

The sermon addresses the pervasive spiritual darkness of the modern world, citing societal shifts such as abortion and changing definitions of gender as evidence of moral decay. It argues that believers must counter this darkness by becoming salt and light through a transformed attitude, deep faith in God's sovereignty, and courageous witness. The preacher emphasizes that personal holiness and reliance on the Holy Spirit are essential for effective ministry and revival. Using personal anecdotes about overcoming cancer and raising children, the message highlights the necessity of determination and enthusiasm in the Christian walk. Ultimately, it calls the congregation to stop merely observing the darkness and actively shine God's truth through their lives and actions.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. (John 1:9-11)

Christian, you have inherited your name from Jesus Christ. In fact, you have inherited all things from Him; the King over kings, the Lord over lords. He will have us beginning to act like princes and princesses in His royal kingdom. We are to be children of light. We will worship Him who secured these blessings, whose death enacted the last will and testament of the Father, and who established His covenant with that very same death. We owe Him all loyalty and all gratitude – even our very lives. We can agree with Isaac Watts – "love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

Text: Matt. 7:1-12 How we are to treat others as Jesus' followers/citizens… (1) Deal with yourself before others. (vv. 1-5). (2) Discern when to stop sharing the truth (v. 6). (3) Depend on God with persistence and expectancy (vv. 7-11). (4) Determine to treat others in light of and in line with God's truth (v. 12). Truth to Remember: Treating others rightly means humbly addressing our own sins and trusting in God's good provisions.

This sermon establishes eschatology as a Christ-centred doctrine that reveals God's sovereignty, justice, and faithfulness rather than serving as a tool for speculation. It distinguishes the imminent rapture of the church from the subsequent second coming, emphasising that prophecy is designed to comfort believers and motivate holy living. The speaker outlines the chronological program of end times, including the tribulation, millennial kingdom, and final judgment, while warning of the eternal consequences for those outside of Christ. Ultimately, the message urges listeners to live expectantly, purely, and faithfully in light of Christ's return. True theology must always lead to practical application and a deeper reliance on the gospel.
