Jesus will come like a thief in the night; we don’t know when it’s going to happen. Put your hope in him now, seek him now, and be found in him so that when he comes again, you will not be separated from him in eternal darkness but you will be with him in eternal light.
A ransom for many
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?
Motives matter
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.
Amazing grace
Think for a moment about all the wrong you have done in your life. Is this good news? Can you say God has forgiven you? Do you trust in the death of Jesus?
Then understand this: God removes our sins as far as east is from the west, he puts them behind his back, he hurls them into the depths of the sea, he wipes them out, he remembers them no more. This is his amazing grace.
The sole giver of eternal life
When it comes to surrendering our lives and pledging our allegiance to someone, it makes sense to give that commitment to Jesus. There is no forgiveness and peace with God outside of Christ. May God give us the grace to follow him and never turn our backs on him.

How much we give to the work of the Lord is a useful indicator of how much we value what the Lord has done for us. Generous giving will, in turn, result in thanksgiving to God.
On the subject of grace
Grace is free but it is also costly. Jesus holds out the promise of forgiveness, on an inconceivable scale. A kingdom of the forgiven, is a kingdom of the forgiving. What a witness to the world that will be for what Jesus has done in our lives.

Is God at the centre of your serving? Is he at the heart of your hospitality? Is he at the heart of administration? Is he at the heart of anything you do in the church? Serve in the strength he provides so that he may get the glory through Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
Psalm 51
Perhaps you are a Christian whose heart has grown cold. You seldom pray and seldom read the Bible. Oftentimes, the way of the world seems more attractive. You might even be living a double life. What should you do? You must confess your sins to God in prayer. You must plead for mercy, based on the death of Christ. And you must ask for God’s power to create a pure heart within.
