John 3:22-36 Life isn’t all about us, it’s about Jesus.
Sermons from December 2024
Luke 1:77-79 The prophet Malachi foretold that one day ‘the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings’. At Christmas we celebrate the coming into this dark world of that promised sunrise in Jesus, and we give thanks for the blessings which radiate out in the heavenly sunbeams.
Luke 2:10-11 To many people the Christmas story feels very remote – angels appearing to shepherds; a virgin giving birth. It feels a very long way from our experience. But there’s an emotional bridge between us and those distant events – fear and joy. We have plenty of fears, and we would like more joy. This passage tells us how it can be ours.
Luke 1:46–56 Where can we find a joy that lasts beyond Christmas? In this fleeting world the joy we need is found in the first Christmas carol.
Matthew 4:1-11 When were you last tempted? How did it go? Did you give in, or did you stand firm? All of us struggle with temptation, and if we’re looking for help, this passage is an obvious place to go. And we’ll look at that, but ‘tips for facing temptation’ is not the main point. To find out what is, have a listen!
Matthew 3:1-17 Some people think that our world has no future. If they’re right, then nothing we do ultimately matters. But John the Baptist said that the future is the kingdom of heaven, and so what we do now matters hugely. We need to repent and come to Jesus.
