A Year Of Increase: Less Is More

View all sermons by Adam Ritchard

John 3:7,14,22-31a, 4:4; Psalm 139:23-24; Philippians 2:3-11 — Where is Jesus in the picture of our lives - front and centre, or on the periphery? As Jesus’ following increased, John The Baptist was not threatened by Him as a rival teacher. Rather, knowing Jesus to be the Messiah, John knew his own role was a supporting act which must necessarily ‘decrease’ for Jesus’ prominence to ‘increase’. In the coming year, may we make it our highest goal and greatest necessity that Jesus would increase in every area of our lives.

Deuteronomy 8:1-6; Exodus 13:11-22, 17 — On the eve of entering the Promised Land, Moses instructs the Israelites to look back; to see the evidence of God’s presence, plan, and desire for relationship through it all. As we reflect on the past year and the year to come, may we look to the example of Moses. May we look with right perspective, remembering that God has been (and will be) with us ‘the whole way’ through this journey of life.

Christ The Saviour Is Born

Luke 2:1-11; Galatians 4:4; Matthew 1:21; John 3:16-17 — The popular themes of hope, joy, and peace are all wonderful, but they are ultimately peripheral to the central theme of Christmas: Christ the Saviour is born. Instead of the condemnation that we rightly deserved, Jesus’ coming embodied a real plan, with a real purpose and promise - to save us from our sin and bring us into everlasting relationship with the Father.

"Love Your Enemies"

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 5:10; Ephesians 4:32 — As humans, our natural response is to show love to those we like, and hate to those we don’t. But Jesus’ striking instruction and the testament of His life and death is precisely the opposite: “Love your enemies”. We, who were His enemies but now stand reconciled through His sacrificial love, are called to do the same.
