If God forgives, why do good? Galatians 5:13-26 Sermon

Posted on by Phill Sacre

If God forgives us anyway, why should we do good? If we have freedom, how should we use it? In this passage we see how freedom in Christ gives us a new motivation and a new power to obey.

You might like to read the passage first. Due to a technical hitch only the audio is available!

Christ is Freedom – Galatians 5:1-12 Sermon

Posted on by Phill Sacre

If you had to choose one word to sum up the Christian life, what would it be? In this passage, Paul sums it up with the word “freedom”. But what does that really mean? What are we free from?

Outgrowing the Law – Galatians 3:23-4:7 Sermon

Posted on by Phill Sacre

We treat children differently to adults. Children need things which adults don’t once they’ve grown to maturity. In this passage, Paul says that the Law was there as our guardian until the coming of Christ Jesus.

Grace vs Law – Galatians 3:1-14 Sermon

Posted on by Phill Sacre

Misusing the Law – Matthew 5:33-48

Posted on by Phill Sacre

In this session we look at some of Jesus’ most famous sayings – “eye for an eye”, “love your enemies”. These are actually three examples of how people were misusing the Law. We finish by looking at a summary of what the Law is all about.

In due course this series will replace the existing Sermon on the Mount series.

Keeping the Rules (Murder) – Matthew 5:17-26

Posted on by Phill Sacre

Is Christianity only about keeping the rules? Is it all about obeying the Ten Commandments? In this session Jesus starts to explain why God gave us the Law and what kind of obedience he wants from us. Jesus takes us through an example “Do not murder” and helps us to understand.

The previous Sermon on the Mount video on “Engaging with the World: Salt and Light” is available here.

In due course this series will replace the existing Sermon on the Mount series.
