In this sermon, we look at the seven 'woes' or 'sorrows' found in Matthew 23 as Jesus condemns the hypocrisy of the religious leaders.

We think about how we need to follow Jesus' kingdom ways to avoid hypocrisy - and how Jesus grieves over those who turn away from him.

In this passage in Matthew's Gospel (Ch.22v34-46) we see the Pharisees again trying to trap Jesus and Jesus again astounding them with his answer about the greatest commandment.

Jesus then asks the Pharisees a question about the Messiah.

In this sermon, we think about how the greatest commandment - to love God and our neighbour - is linked to who the Messiah is.

In this Evening Reflection, we think about the subject of death from 2 Corinthians 5: 1-10. But rather than this being morbid, we are reminded that death is not the end - that eternal life is a reality - and that should affect how we live here on earth now.

In this sermon on Matthew 21: 28-46, we think about two parables that Jesus tells against the religious authorities.

We see that actions really do count more than words and that we need to respond to Jesus with repentance and faith.

In this sermon in our series in Matthew, we think about the authority Jesus has in driving out the buyers and sellers from the Temple, healing and withering the Fig Tree. We think through how all these scenes are related - and how Jesus is showing that the Temple system is broken and that he himself is the true temple because he is the Son of God.

Speaker: James McNay.

In this sermon at the beginning of 2024, we reflect on Revelation 2: 1-7 and the church in Ephesus. This church did many things right, but their heart was in the wrong place and certainly not on fire for God.

As individual Christians and as a church, we need to making sure that we are not 'forsaking our first love' - but that we know Jesus and love him.
