In the second half of his letter to the Ephesians (chapters 4-6), the Apostle Paul focuses on what difference the gospel makes to our lives here and now. He begins this section by drawing attention to our ‘calling’ as Christians. In this sermon we look at what that calling is and how we carry it out.

At the end of Ephesians 3, the Apostle Paul concludes the first half of his letter by reporting what he prays for when he prays for the early Christians in Ephesus. He essentially prays one thing: that God would strengthen them. In this sermon we consider what this strengthening is, what its results are, and how it happens.

At the beginning of chapter three of his letter to some early Christians in Ephesus, the apostle Paul outlines reasons why they shouldn’t lose heart despite facing disappointment in the church. In this sermon we consider two reasons Paul outlines why we similarly shouldn’t lose heart.

In the final ‘blessed’ statement of Matthew 5, Jesus announced, ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ In this sermon we consider the subject of persecution, why Christian’s face it, and how we can endure it.

In the penultimate ‘blessed’ statement Jesus makes at the beginning of Matthew 5, he announces, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.’ In this sermon we consider the significance of peace and peacemaking according to Bible.

In this guest sermon, Rev Stuart Olyott considers the nature of Christian faith and it’s importance.

Next in the list of ‘Blessed’ statements Jesus made at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount is ‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.’ What does it mean to be pure in heart? And what does it mean to see God? In this sermon we consider these questions.

The fifth ‘blessed’ statement Jesus makes at the beginning of Matthew 5 is, ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.’ In this sermon we consider the definition, importance, and manual of mercy.

In the fourth ‘blessed’ statement of Matthew 5, Jesus announces ‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.’ In this sermon we consider what Jesus means when he refers to righteousness.
