Sermons

Reading scripture with God’s people keeps us honest as we seek to interpret and live by God’s law written on our hearts.

When God calls us to invest in the places we live, it is a call to active agents of positive change, not compliant patriots.

There are plenty of reasons to despair of the future, but Jeremiah and Jesus show us a pathway of hope that overcomes despair.

Facing an epidemic of depression and despair, Jesus calls us to follow on a tear-stained path of prophetic faithfulness.

The threat of extreme climate change can only be averted with a major spiritual transformation, and Jesus shows the way.

Faithfulness to God means sticking to the ways in which Jesus has led us, but we are constantly tempted to idolise his name while avoiding his ways.

Lived faith is the way to life in God, but it passes through a baptism of fire.

Through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection we are reconciled to God, made free to be the person that God created us to be, and we live into it by embracing a positive culture of love, mercy and consideration.

God may not always give us what we want in answer to our prayers, but will always be with us through the Spirit to help us face whatever it is that life puts before us.
