What's the point of 'being religious'? - Romans 3:1-20 Sermon
Last week we saw that what God really cares about is the heart, rather than outward things - as the Jews of Paul's day were saying. In this sermon, Paul turns to answer an objection: what, then, is the value of being religious at all? What was the point of being Jewish? If all that matters is the heart, what's the point of any of our religious observance?

Are you a hypocritical Christian? - Romans 2:17-29 Sermon
Unfortunately, Christians can be just as judgemental as anybody. In fact, Christians can even be worse than others! In this sermon we look at what we can learn from Paul's critique of the Jews of his day. They thought they were enlightened and perfectly moral because they had the law - but what was really the case?

The problem with judgemental moralism - Romans 2:1-16 Sermon
In this passage, Paul takes aim at judgemental moralists. Christians sometimes have a reputation for being judgemental and moralistic, although these days you can find that kind of attitude everywhere. What is the problem with being judgemental, and how can Christians be different?

The disintegration of godless society - Romans 1:18-32 Sermon
What is the problem with the world today? In this sermon, we look at Paul's hard-hitting explanation of the root problem from Romans 1. The fundamental problem is 'men have forgotten God' - they turn away from him. God then gives us over to our sinful desires, which leads to the decay and degradation of society.

The power of the gospel - Romans 1:1-17 Sermon
In the first part of a new series on the book of Romans, we think about how the gospel is not simply advice but is the power of God. Paul is called as an apostle of that message, and demonstrates the message in his life.

Do you take Jesus seriously? - Matthew 7:21-29 Sermon
Do you take Jesus seriously? In the final part of the sermon on the mount, we think about the perils of claiming to be a Christian without taking Jesus seriously. We look at Jesus' teaching about true and false disciples, as well as his famous parable of the wise and foolish builders.

Ask, Seek, Knock - Matthew 7:7-12 Sermon
Jesus' famous words are all about prayer. But why is it that prayer so often does not feel like what he says - "ask and it shall be given"? Why do so many people find prayer such a struggle? Jesus' words are here to encourage us to pray.

Do not judge - Matthew 7:1-7 Sermon
People often take the phrase 'do not judge' to mean that we shouldn't ever criticise anyone else. But that's not what Jesus intended us to understand. Instead, this is about how we relate to others and deal with sin - especially within the church.

Fasting and Authentic Religion - Matthew 6:16-18 Sermon
In the third and final example of authentic religion, Jesus talks about fasting. In this sermon we think about what fasting is and whether it should be a regular part of our lives as Christians. We also think about what, in summary, Jesus wants us to learn about authentic religion.

Loving even your enemies - Matthew 5:33-48 Sermon
This is Jesus' final set of examples and conclusion of his teaching about the law in the Sermon on the Mount. He talks about oaths, revenge, and how we should love even our enemies. This teaching really summarises what Jesus wants to say about the law.
