Sermons On John’s Gospel

Let's think about Jesus - who He is and why He came to our world. The Story of Jesus is a wonderful Story. It's the Story of the eternal Word, the Word become flesh - the 'Mighty God' has become 'Emmanuel' (God with us) (John 1:1,14; Isaiah 9:6; 7:14). This is the fulfilment of the …

Burdensome religion and joyous faith

Psalm 1:1–2 Burdensome religion and joyous faith are worlds apart. They are exact opposites. “I have to” – How shallow and superficial is “I have to” religion. The man or woman who thinks like this hasn’t even begun to appreciate the great love of Jesus Christ. What a far cry this is from a truly …

Some More Ideas For Preaching

Christ has risen. Believe the Gospel. Be changed by the Gospel. The Holy Spirit glorifies Jesus Christ (John 16:14). ‘No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit’ (1 Corinthians 12:3). In the preaching of Peter on the Day of Pentecost, we see the vital connection between the Holy Spirit and our …

Sharing Some Sermon Ideas

Strengthened in worship, we are equipped for witness. David is in great danger. His life is being threatened by his enemies (Psalm 70:2). We might expect that he would be depressed. Far from it!

Preach Christ. Pray for the Spirit’s power. Look to God for …
