Lent 2025: Seasons and Sacrifice

The celebration of the Lent is an ancient Christian tradition, but not a personal tradition for many of us. In this message we look at the way Jesus set himself to travel to Jerusalem as a place He must go through on His journey back to Heaven. In a similar way at the beginning of Lent we set ourselves to travel through a season of self-sacrifice as we move toward Resurrection Sunday. The sacrifice does not have any merit except if it is part of what we must go through for the sake of God’s eter...

By Your Love

As Jesus shared the Last Supper with His disciples He challenged them to love one another in the same way that He loved them. That’s a big call, especially given what He was about to do! In this message Mike explores the priority of love and the way that it’s put into practice in a local church. We are challenged to think about what that will look like for us this year and how we’ll stay on track pursuing the Greatest Commandment.

Choosing Good vs Evil

Why do people sometimes do amazing & wonderful things but at other times do terrible things? Why do we look back over 2024 & celebrate great contributions to human flourishing while also seeing wars drag on and other tragedies? The opening stories of the Bible describe both the origins and outcomes of good and evil; and describe for us what it means to choose between them. We learn 5 simple principles that can help us have a fantastic 2025 as we make the better choice to embrace the good...

Come Home to Your Wonderful Counselor

Isaiah 7 contains the incredible promise that God would send a child who would be “God With Us”. Matthew’s gospel confirms that this is the heart of the Christmas story: God made His home with us, so that we could find our home in Him. God gave more information to Isaiah about what this “God with us” would be like. In Isaiah 9:6 we’re told He would be: Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. This December we are unpacking each of these names to see how Jesus ful...

Galatians 6:11-18 – What really counts also really costs.

As we finish our study in Galatians we once again marvel at the free gift of God’s grace that we receive through faith in Jesus. As he closes the letter Paul tells us that what really counts – our salvation in Jesus – also really costs. The gift is not free. Jesus gave His life so we might have life. Paul himself bore the marks on his body that proclaimed the price he paid to be a messenger of the good news to others. The gift which is free to us came at a cost to others! That leaves us with two...

Galatians 6:6-10 – Reaping the Blessing

The letter to the Galatians was written to guard the salvation that had come to the people of Galatia through the gospel. The message of Jesus was under attack by false teachers and many Christians in Galatia hadn’t even realised! Some of them were being fooled into following Old Testament laws that were only ever intended to prepare the people of Israel to receive their Messiah – laws which had no power to save them, only to frustrate them. The same is true of every other ‘law’ that we are used...

Galatians 5:16 – 6:5 – Keep in Step with the Spirit

After arguing powerfully for the gospel of Grace against a religion of works, Paul now applies his message very practically in the lives of his readers. He contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit and calls us to the better path of keeping in step with the Spirit. Mike reminds us of what we’ve seen in the letter – that the works of our flesh can sometimes look like lawless self-indulgence and it can also look like legalistic self-righteousness. But the way of the Spirit is t...

Galatians 4:21-5:26 – Fighting for Fruitfulness

The Apostle Paul finishes his defence of the good news that we don’t have a list of laws to live up to, we have a new identity to live out of. This new identity is ours by God’s grace alone and is received through faith in Jesus Christ, not by any effort of our own. Having argued for the gospel from their personal experience, Scripture, history, reason and their relationship with Paul; the closing argument is an analogy from the life of Abraham and his two wives. It’s a powerful illustration of ...

Galatians 3 – Fighting for Fellowship

In his letter to the Galatians Paul is fighting a threat to the fellowship that Galatian Christians have with God and with each other; the freedom they have to live the life that Christ has given them; and the fruitfulness that comes as a result of God’s life welling up in us and overflowing through us. In chapter 3 Paul argues from the personal experience of the Galatians, the testimony of the Scriptures and the voice of reason to prove that we are made right with God and each other by grace al...

Galatians 2:15-21 – The Purpose of the Law

In our last 2 messages from the book of Galatians we’ve seen Paul rebuke Peter (2:11-14) and then the Galatians (3:1-5) for going back to obedience to the laws of Moses. Is this such a bad thing? According to Paul, absolutely! In between these rebukes (2:15-21) Paul sums up the message of this whole letter. In clarifying the purpose of the law he helps us to understand the doctrine of sin, which is essential for us to understand if we are to appreciate the value of our Saviour. This message is f...
