The Midweek Message: The Transfiguration (Matthew 17)

In chapter 17 of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus ascends a mountain with three of his disciples, and suddenly begins to shine brightly in front of them.  In this sermon, we consider what the disciples witnessed and what it means for us today.

Another Midweek Message: The Price of Admission to the Table (Matthew 16)

Salvation is offered freely to all - there is nothing we can do to earn it.  But there is a cost to following Jesus Christ.  In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 16, Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow him.  

In this sermon, preached before we shared bread and wine in Communion, we consider what we may have to sacrifice in order to sit at Christ's table.

A Midweek Message: Show Not Tell (Matthew 16)

In this sermon, we consider how Jesus was able to show (rather than just tell) his disciples that he would suffer, die and rise on the third day.  We explore the Old Testament Scriptures and see some of the evidence for God's plan of salvation.

Another Midweek Message: Guess Who? (Matthew 16)

The crowds that followed Jesus were playing a game of "Guess Who?" as they tried to work out his identity. His disciples, though, had gradually come to understand who Jesus really was. 

But how can people today become convinced about the identity of Jesus?  Tom Magness explores the answers to that and other questions in this sermon based on the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 16.

A Midweek Message: Degrees of Faith (Matthew 15-16)

In this message, Roger Davies looks at some of the different examples and degrees of faith we find in the Gospel of Matthew.

A Midweek Message: Truth or Tradition?

In the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 15, Jesus challenges us to decide which is more important: the Word of God or the commandments of people? Truth or tradition?

He then teaches that sin begins with the heart, and so the heart must be changed if we want to be right with God. Tradition tries to change us from the outside-in, but truth changes us from the inside-out. In other words, it is truth, not tradition, that changes the heart.

A Midweek Message: My soul will be satisfied (Psalm 63)

In Psalm 63, David describes his search for God during a time of trouble.  In this sermon, we look at how David finds God, and how we can apply David's experience to our own lives today.
