  • Living in light of the resurrection – 1 Corinthians 15:12-34 Sermon

    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

    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: 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: 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
