Sermons from April 2025

EASTER SUNDAY

1 Corinthians 15:20-26 Bryan Johnson recently launched a new religion called ‘Don’t Die’. He claims it’s going to become history’s fastest growing ideology, as he goes to war with death and its causes. Sadly, it’s a war he’s not going to win. But the good news is that when Bryan can’t do, Jesus has already done. On the first Easter Sunday he defeated death, and will finally destroy it when he returns.

MATTHEW (14)

Matthew 7:13-29 There are four main religions in the world, followed by ¾ of the world’s population, but there are over 10,000 other smaller ones. And then there are so many other paths among the 37% in our country who say they are of ‘no religion’. With so many options to choose from, it can all feel rather bewildering. But Jesus makes things refreshingly simple – there are just two ways.

MATTHEW (13)

Matthew 7:1-12 In a crowd of people you can spot the Muslim woman by her hijab, and the Buddhist monk by his saffron robe, but you can’t spot the Christian. Because the Christian is to stand out not be distinctive dress but distinctive living. That is the challenging message of the Sermon on the Mount. This next bit looks at our distinctive relationships.
