Evangelism is not an activity that we do – Matthew 9:35-38 Sermon

Evangelism has become a big talking point in the church – there are many books, courses, even conferences about it. And yet I believe the church has made it far too complicated! In this passage we see what Jesus’ mission was all about, and what it should be like for us too.

Avoiding spiritual ruts – Matthew 9:14-17 Sermon

It can be very easy in the Christian life to get stuck in a rut – to turn up to church and do the same things that we always do, but just ‘go through the motions’. In this passage Jesus explains that we need to do things differently with him.

What does Jesus mean to you? – Matthew 9:1-8 Sermon

Discipleship is all about the identity of Jesus – not in an intellectual sense, but a personal one: what does Jesus mean to you? In this passage we see the kind of faith that God wants us to have.

Fighting spiritual evil – Matthew 8:28-34 Sermon

The modern, Western, secular world doesn’t think anything exists apart from what you can see and touch. But the Bible speaks clearly of the reality of the spiritual – spiritual evil exists. In this passage we have a lesson in what that looks like and what that means for us.

Counting the cost of discipleship – Matthew 8:18-22 Sermon

Many churches want to make things as easy as possible for non-Christians to come into the church. But this was not Jesus’ strategy. Are we prepared to count the cost for ourselves, and to have a church which is honest about the cost?
