Do you take Jesus seriously? – Matthew 7:21-29 Sermon

Do you take Jesus seriously? In the final part of the sermon on the mount, we think about the perils of claiming to be a Christian without taking Jesus seriously. We look at Jesus’ teaching about true and false disciples, as well as his famous parable of the wise and foolish builders.

Enter through the narrow gate – Matthew 7:13-20 Sermon

This is the first part of the conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus summarises what it means for us to be his disciples. How should we follow him? And what does he mean about true and false prophets – how should we identify them?

Ask, Seek, Knock – Matthew 7:7-12 Sermon

Jesus’ famous words are all about prayer. But why is it that prayer so often does not feel like what he says – “ask and it shall be given”? Why do so many people find prayer such a struggle? Jesus’ words are here to encourage us to pray.

Do not judge – Matthew 7:1-6 – 16th July 2023

People often take the phrase ‘do not judge’ to mean that we shouldn’t ever criticise anyone else. But that’s not what Jesus intended us to understand. Instead, this is about how we relate to others and deal with sin – especially within the church.

Treasure in Heaven – Matthew 6:19-24 – 2nd July 2023

Jesus turns from authentic religion to how we should live in the rest of our lives. In this passage Jesus says that we should store up treasure in heaven, rather than treasure on earth. But what does that mean?

In the third and final example of authentic religion, Jesus talks about fasting. In this sermon we think about what fasting is and whether it should be a regular part of our lives as Christians. We also think about what, in summary, Jesus wants us to learn about authentic religion.

Authentic Prayer – Matthew 6:5-15 – 18th June 2023
