The Cry For Awakening

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:4,14, 3:1-2,17-19; Acts 19:8-20 — While an awakening of belief in the world around us is ultimately a work of God, we as believers have a critical role to play: Like Habakkuk, our hearts must be deeply moved by the brokenness of our world, and our faith must be restored by the permanent promises of our Living God. As we enter 40 days of prayer and fasting as a church, may our hearts be awakened to seek a great awakening - may His kingdom come and His will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven!

Persecuted For The Prize

View all sermons by Andrew Baker

Matthew 5:1-12; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18; James 1:2-3 — Jesus’ ministry and death show that the Christian should not be surprised to suffer persecution. In fact, Christ says that those who are mistreated on His account ought to rejoice, for they are blessed to receive the kingdom of heaven. If and when we endure persecution, it is to this promise - the only promise that will not fade - that we may anchor our hope: seeing and knowing our Creator face to face for all eternity.

Matthew 5:1-9; Romans 12:18, 15:13; Philippians 4:6-7; Hebrews 13:20; Colossians 1:20; Ephesians 2:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:18; John 14:27; Isaiah 53:5 — Biblical peace is not simply the absence of conflict. Rather, it is the God-given wholeness that we as His children may know in every circumstance of life, and actively pursue in every situation. As we sow and carry this kind of peace, may those around us see the God of all peace reflected in us.

Blessed Are The Merciful

View all sermons by Kathryn Hartley

Matthew 5:1-12 — The mercy that typified Jesus’ ministry was more than a charitable act or a withheld punishment. In countless encounters (not least the Crucifixion), Jesus delighted to move towards the helpless, suffering, and sinful - you and me - in unrestrained kindness. As we seek to live ‘the Jesus way’, may the reality of our continual need for His mercy propel us towards our fellow sinners in love and compassion.

Rather, He came to do what we could never earn or achieve for ourselves; to create in us a pure heart, that we might see Him for all that He is and overflow with passion for Him.
