How should we live in the light of the resurrection? This is a sermon I preached at church last Sunday (16th Jan). Although I didn’t speak much directly about covid, it fits in with the general principles of how we live that we are looking at. Although this is available on YouTube, the sermon is […]

Sermon: John the Baptist – Herald (Luke 3:1-6)
This evening, I preached my first sermon at St John’s. My first post-ordination sermon! To be honest it didn’t feel any different to preaching before ordination – it’s simply a great privilege to bring God’s word to God’s people. The passage was Luke 3:1-6, part of a series on John the Baptist. Unfortunately no audio […]
Sermon: The Wedding Banquet (Luke 14:15-24)
This is the text of a sermon preached at the 9AM service at Christ Chuch Cockfosters this morning. It was part of a series going through ‘Uncover‘, the subtitle of this talk was ‘Go Out’. Unfortunately no audio is available but I stuck pretty much to the script on this one! Hope you enjoy. The […]
Sermon: The Witness of John the Baptist (John 1:19-34)
This is the text of a sermon I preached last Sunday morning at Christ Church Cockfosters. The audio isn’t available on the website (which means it may not have been recorded) – if it does appear I will update this post. The theme was a traditional one for the third Sunday in Advent – “John […]
Sermon: Psalm 1 – The Righteous and the Wicked
Quick post! I was preaching at Christ Chuch Cockfosters this evening on Psalm 1. My sermon has already been uploaded, and you can hear it online on the Christ Church website.
Sermon: Resurrection [1 Corinthians 15:12-28]
As I mentioned a while back, I was preaching a few weeks ago at Christ Church Cockfosters. We were going through a series on the Nicene Creed, and my particular line was “On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures”, i.e. Jesus’ resurrection. I didn’t really cover the ‘in accordance with the […]
Sermon: Genesis 42-45, Joseph and his Brothers Reconciled
On Sunday night I preached at the evening service of Christ Church Cockfosters. I haven’t got the audio available just yet, but if you’d like to read the approximate text of what I preached, I’ve attached the script. If I get the audio too I will update this post. You might want to have the passage […]
Sermon: Gluttony [Galatians 5v16-26]
Last night I was preaching at Christ Church Cockfosters on the topic of gluttony, as part of their series “The 7 Habits of Highly Destructive People”. I found it a hard sermon to do – it was the first sermon I’ve done on a topic, rather than on a passage, and they’re not easy! Still, I […]
Sermon: 2 Thessalonians 1 – Persecution and God’s righteous judgement
This morning I preached a sermon on 2 Thessalonians 1. At college this term I’ve been learning about Homiletics, and as part of the assessment for that I had to deliver a sermon – which involved doing lots of diagrams as part of the preparation process (it’s Chris Green’s 12-step process for doing sermons). To […]
What it means to follow Jesus: Sermon on Mark 8:31-38
This is the text of a sermon I preached yesterday morning at at the 9:00 communion service at St Thomas’ Kidsgrove. It was the last day of their ‘week of events’ or mission which I mentioned in my post last week. (The week went well, by the way, thanks for asking.) The passage is Mark […]
