Following up on his two prior sermons this year, Pastor Mike narrowed in on the question “What is the Gospel?” A question which we all benefit from by having a clear answer.
Come and See- John 1:29-51
Some important elements of faith in Jesus are: seeing Him; committing to him (like marriage vs dating); and telling others about what you have found.
Good Leaders, Good Congregation- Titus 3:12-15
This is St Paul’s wrap-up to his protégé, Titus. The church needs good leaders, and the church needs good people. Without either one the risks go up. But with both the cause of the gospel can be greatly enhanced.
The Best Man- John 1:19-28
What is your definition of “Great”? G.O.A.T? Pastor Jeff took time to consider John the Baptizer; Jesus claimed that John was the “Greatest born of woman…” Why?
Looking to Jesus- Heb 12:1-2
What a good way to prepare for Christian Communion? Pastor Mike directed our attention to Hebrews 12, verses 1-2.
Forgetting and Pressing Forward- Phil 3:1-14
January is often full of ‘Resolutions’, except they don’t usually ‘stick’. St Paul has a suggestion for us- as Pastor Mike explains: Forget the past; instead, focus your attention and energy on that God has for you in the future.
Jesus the Word and Light- John 1:1-18
St John the apostle wrote so that “we might believe” in Jesus. Humanity is in darkness; John says that Jesus was the Light. Especially in today’s world of “fake news” where you can’t be sure what to believe, John says that Jesus was ‘the Word’. God speaking.
Unity in Christ Alone- Gal 3:24-29
Everywhere you look there is a terrific need for reconciliation. Why is this need there and what is the solution?
