Sermons on Sharing faith
The Fragrance of Christ | Robin Gerrard
How can we carry the fragrance of Christ, and what does this look like? Robin unfolds five ways we can practically bring the life of Christ authenticity whenever we go. Ephesians 5. 2 Corinthians 2.
Jesus Saves
Graham Webb speaks to us today about the crucifixion and the turning point this has placed in our lives. We look at the two thieves on the cross and see which one we would put ourselves alongside…the one for Jesus or the one against Him? Seems like a simple questions, but the outcomes of choosing Jesus are more wonderful than we could have ever imagined.
With God – I am able!
How often do we look at our circumstances and say to ourselves “when things change I can start serving God”? Graham looks at the amazing life of Paul in prison, and how powerfully God used him, even when in chains. He challenges us to see how God is able to work though our lives regardless of our circumstances and situations.
Think before you speak!
Dr Dwight Prior said “The people with least knowledge usually have the strongest opinions”…What’s more important you, getting your opinion across or find out about the person’s life? Richard brings us wisdom from Ecclesiastes, showing that our thoughts and beliefs are important to get straight as we share with others.
Luke 11: Beware legalists!
Jesus mixed with all kinds of people, usually the people that the ‘religious’ didn’t mix with but he also mixed with the religious types too. He challenged the behaviour of both but he was often a little harder on the so called religious. God looks at the heart not at the outward appearance and that’s how he asks us to live with those around us. How do you challenge this culture that judges people without knowing them? Walking with this broken…
The Harvest is fine | What we need is labourers!
Jesus said there was nothing wrong with the harvest but there just isn’t enough labourers to bring it in. Dave looks at Jesus sending out the 72 to heal the sick and declare the kingdom of God is near. We are powerfully challenged to consider what is our response to the call and the authority we have clearly been given?
Rude Interruptions
Are you a planner? Do you like to have everything going like clockwork? Or maybe you just go with the flow. Either way when our plans are interrupted it’s hard to know what to do. What if, like Jesus, you see exactly what God is doing in every interruption and are expecting His power to move? Find out what it means to be tuned into God this way and live in this amazing power.
Calming the storms
Dave looks at two well known accounts of Jesus calming storms; one external and one internal. Who then is this Jesus who has power to calm storms? Jesus’ challenge is ‘where are you putting your faith?’ Are you in a storm that feels out of control? Who or what are trusting in. And if Jesus has calmed your storms, your challenge is to head out and tell those you meet about what he’s done.
