Only Christ truly meets our needs - Hebrews 7:1-28 Sermon
There are many things in life we need, and even more things we might think we need! But the truth is that only Christ can truly meet our needs. This passage draws on an obscure Old Testament character named Melchizedek to see how Jesus gives us something superior to anything else the world has to offer.

We have this hope as an anchor - Hebrews 6:13-20 Sermon
Hope is what can keep us going through hard times in life. But what kind of hope do we have as Christians? Is it something only for the future? Are there promises we can look to now? And how do we know God will keep them?

Don't take spiritual growth for granted - Hebrews 5:11-6:12 Sermon
Some people just assume that Christians will grow, no matter what. But this passage from Hebrews warns us that spiritual growth is not a given, and warns us that it is in fact possible to go in the wrong direction. There is a solemn warning that those who fall away cannot be brought back to repentance. This should be an encouragement to us to keep going, no matter what.

Jesus sympathises with our weaknesses - Hebrews 4:14-5:10
This passage gives us confidence to approach God, because Jesus - our great high priest - can sympathise with our weaknesses. He experienced suffering and temptation, and yet he overcame, so he is able to help us in our time of need.

Entering into God's Rest - Hebrews 4:1-13 Sermon
What does it mean to live in God's "rest"? How can we enter into it? The passage from today's sermon explores the promise of entering God's rest, how it was not fulfilled in the Israelites, and how that promise still stands open for us today.

Do not harden your hearts - Hebrews 3 Sermon
Christians today face so many pressures to give up on Jesus. It seems like there is pressure at every point - work, family, friends, society, media. Fortunately, Christians through the ages have faced this same pressure, and we need to listen to what Hebrews has to say to help us.

Why Christ needed to die - Hebrews 2:5-18 Sermon
Something which many people through the years have struggled with is the idea of a God who could die for us. Isn't suffering and dying a bad thing? And why should that be necessary? This passage from Hebrews helps us to understand why Jesus' death was necessary, why he had to be made fully human.

Stick with Jesus no matter what - Hebrews 1:1-2:4 Sermon
Hebrews was written to encourage Christians who were being persecuted to stick with Jesus no matter what. Its message couldn't be more relevant to the church today. In this passage we see how Jesus is superior to anything or anyone else, and how we should stick with him.

The most important thing - 2 Thessalonians 3
We can see from the first two chapters of Thessalonians that the church was going through a difficult and turbulent time: persecution and false teaching had an effect. In this final chapter, Paul encourages the church to focus on what's most important, how God wants the church to be.

According to a recent report, Christians are the most persecuted religion in the world. Does this show that God is unfair and unjust? In this passage we see that the opposite is actually true.

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.

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?

Faith is one of the most important things in the Bible. Yet, a lot of Christians today are scared of talking about it for fear of being seen as irrational or foolish. So what does faith look like, and what difference does it make in our lives today? This passage helps us to understand.

A popular Christian song speaks of Jesus "fighting our battles." We'd like that to be true - but is it? In this passage, God was teaching the Israelites something important about what it means to fight for him. We need to learn the same lessons.

There used to be an expression "These things are sent to try us". But people rarely use it these days - it seems that people don't think about God testing us at all. But it is clear from the Bible that God does test us. What does it mean, and what does God want from us?

"Did you hear the one about the army that didn't fight?" It sounds like a joke, but it is actually a good description of this passage.

Humble yourself, or be humbled - Exodus 10-11 Sermon
The Biblical scholar observed that evil is like a boomerang: the evil that we do comes back to us. God often seems to work like that - we reap a fitting consequence for the evil we have done. In this passage we see what that meant for Pharoah, and how we need to humble ourselves before God or choose to BE humbled.

God's megaphone - Exodus 8:20-9:35 Sermon
One of the biggest and most common questions in the Christian life is "Why?" Why did this happen to me or us; or why does someone not listen to God? The Bible often doesn't answer the 'why' question specifically, but in this passage we have a rare glimpse into the reason why God acted as he did with Pharaoh.

Are there any consequences of ignoring God? If you look round at the world, you might think there aren't - people seem to ignore God with impunity. However, we need to heed the warning of Exodus and guard against the attitude of disbelief and hard-heartedness.
