John 8:32
From the beginning, the church has faced fierce opposition—Acts is filled with stories of trials, persecution, and faith under fire. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, stood boldly, mirroring Jesus in both courage and compassion. His story reminds us that our strength to stand comes from Christ, who still empowers his people today.
Conflict and issues can pop up anywhere. And when they do, we need to know how God wants us to handle them, so that we can grow and thrive together. Acts 6:1-7 gives us a great example of how to deal with conflict within a community with wisdom, humility, and sensitivity.
Being a follower of Jesus requires courage—to stand for the gospel even in the face of opposition. In Acts 5:12-42, the apostles faced intense resistance, yet they proclaimed the gospel boldly. This sermon explores the need for courage, its true source, and how to live it out in a world that often resists the truth.
Have you ever wondered why a good God would allow suffering? Or have you ever wondered why bad people seem to prosper while good people struggle? Psalm 73 unpacks this age old question and shows us where we need to look to understand God’s justice and goodness.
What does an ancient prayer for a king’s victory have to do with us today? This sermon on Psalm 20 unpacks its relevance, revealing how our future, hope, and joy are bound to the victory of God’s anointed King, Jesus Christ, and invites us to trust fully in His eternal triumph.
Have you ever felt abandoned or overwhelmed? Many people experience these feelings at some point in their lives. In those difficult moments, where should we turn? Psalm 22 offers a vivid example of the journey that God’s people can take when life becomes challenging, providing the hope and joy that only God can provide.
Psalm 119 is an extended celebration of God’s word. We can forget how privileged we are to have the Bible. But the Psalm is not just about recognising the Bible as God’s word, but delighting in it. This sermon explores how delighting in God’s word can transform our hearts and lives.
Acts 4:32-5:11 offers a vivid glimpse into the life of the early church, highlighting its remarkable unity and generosity. However, this inspiring picture is starkly contrasted by the deceit of Ananias and Sapphira. What made their actions so grievous, and why did God respond with such severity?
