Luke 10:25-37 We’re built to want approval – at work, in relationships, from ourselves. How can our life win approval? Not just from others, but primarily from God? Listen in as we look at Jesus’ answer.
Sermons by Matt Dew-Jones (Page 3)
Luke 9:57-62 We tend to respect the Mo Farah’s of this world for what they achieve through radical sacrifice. We can feel energized as we sacrifice to achieve our goals. But what or who is actually worth radical sacrifice? Listen in as Jesus teaches us about being radical.
Luke 10:17-24 Great turnarounds make us sit up and take notice – Steve Jobs turning round Apple, Liverpool coming back to win the Champions League. Listen in as we see the great reversals Jesus works – turning defeat to victory and making fools of the wise.
Luke 10:1-16 Being a country’s ambassador is a position of great honour and responsibility, as they’re called to carry their country’s messages and embody their country’s values. Listen in as Jesus calls us to be ambassadors for his kingdom.
Does religion cause more harm than good? Secular thinkers like Jordan Peterson argue Christianity is useful, while others like Susan Blackmore argue we should rid ourselves of it. But what would Jesus say? And how can we move beyond points about what is useful, toward what is truly truthful? Listen in to find out more.
Luke 9:51-62 We tend to respect the Mo Farah’s of this world for what they achieve through sacrifice. We can feel energized as we sacrifice to achieve our goals. But what or who is actually worth the sacrifice? Listen in as Jesus teaches us about sacrifice.
2 John If a junior needs negative feedback, it can feel kinder to just leave it. No-one likes to hear they’re failing, right? But if it were the other way round, wouldn’t you want to know so you could change? How can we speak with both truth and love? Shouldn’t Christians be a bit more malleable with some biblical truth, so they can be that bit more loving?
Friendship In a recent survey, 42% of people said they did not have a single friend at work. Too much proximity, but too little depth in a world of hot-desks and headphones. We prize friendship, but what does God say about it? How can we resolve this year to build real, deep friendships – with others and ultimately with Him?
Gal 4:4-7 ‘Please can I have a present Santa, I’ve been really good this year’- gifts from Santa are more like our wages for our behaviour. That’s how it works with St Nic; is it just the same with God?
Matt 1:18-25 Many today think that believing in the virgin birth is much like believing in Santa’s elves. Listen in to this Christmas carol service talk as we see why we should believe it and why God would bother with a virgin birth in the first place.
