Who are your good friends? Who are you a good friend to?   In John 15, Jesus offers his disciples friendship. But only in reflecting on friendship – seeing it as ‘an attraction nurtured by mutual exchange & common passion’ – can we appreciate exactly what Jesus is offering. In seeing this great offer, we can […]

What is faith? What does faith do? Why is faith important? Rich lessons from Romans 4 on ‘faith’ and ‘being right with God’. It’s liberating!

The ‘day of God’s wrath’ has all but disappeared from our gospel presentations. In this sermon from Romans 2, we explore the nature of God’s judgement and how liberating that is for our salvation, our security and the way we relate to others.

God calls his people to work at building His house.  The prospect of building up fellow believers, bringing our city to faith & the nations to repentance can seem pretty daunting!  Turning to Haggai’s words to a daunted people, we are encouraged to ‘be strong & work – for I am with you’, says the […]
