Knowing Christ and making Him known
There are many blessings of justification: we have peace with God, we stand each day in his generous grace, and we have something quite awesome to look forward to, the display of God’s glory in the earth, in us, and in Christ.
You don’t want to miss out on these things. Why not come to Jesus in prayer, admitting your need of forgiveness, and placing your confidence in Jesus and his work? You will never regret doing so.
If we are Christians, how much of God’s wrath can we receive on the Day of Judgement? The answer is none! Jesus has already absorbed all the anger of cross when he experienced Hell in our place. There is no wrath left for us. Hallelujah!
Sermon: Sunday, 29th September, 2024 Speaker: John Johnstone Scripture: Romans 2:1 – 3:8 It can be heart-breaking when people trust in the wrong things or
Why is the gospel such good news? Because all people need to be saved. None of us is righteous. Pagans aren’t righteous and respectable and moral people aren’t righteous. How much we all need God’s righteousness! Why then will you not come to Jesus and ask for it?
We often think of God’s love, sending his own Son to die to pay the price for our sin and to gift us his goodness. But there’s also a more unpopular truth – the wrath of God. God will not be mocked. When God is rejected, what happens? Society starts to unravel.
Paul’s letter to the Romans is a wonderful book; it tells us of God’s good news – the gospel – and our need to be made clean and whole by coming in faith to Jesus Christ.
Jesus has saved us: and there is nothing we can add to this. He did it all. He paid it all. If you rest on what Jesus did on the cross – paying off our moral debt of sin – God sees us as his forgiven and clean children.
Who is your king? Who do you serve? Don’t be like the soldiers who mock the true king. Do not be like the religious leaders, who care more about self-interest than about the allegiance the true king deserves.
Sermon: Sunday, 14th July, 2024 Speaker: John Johnstone Scripture: Mark 10:45 What is Christianity all about? What is the message of Jesus in a nutshell?
When it comes to being a follower of Jesus, our motives matter. God is not just concerned with what we do with our time and resources; he is also concerned with why we do what we do. In other words, God is concerned with the workings of our hearts. May we be constrained by Christ love for us and a holy healthy fear of God.
