God’s Plan for Unity: The New Covenant

Preached this sermon on Ephesians 1:3-14 yesterday. Here’s my text, verbatim. This morning I am tasked to share with you my reflections on Ephesians 1:3-14. The title given to me is “God’s Plan for Unity” but I will be focusing more on the plan rather than the unity because unity is much more the focus …

Making Disciples

I preached on Sunday on the topic “A loving mentoring relationship: Paul and Timothy” but brought the focus more on making disciples. Good morning. The topic before me this morning is “A Loving Mentor Relationship, Paul & Timothy” and I will be making use of Paul’s second letter to Timothy. But before I go into …

The Path to Righteousness

I came across this sermon I preached about 10 years ago that expressed very much my thinking about Sanctification, an area that most of us struggle with. Thought I’d share it here. A few months ago I was in a bible study class led by Viji, studying Colossians. While looking through chapters 2 and 3, …

The Blessing of Unity

I preached this sermon today and, as is now my habit, am sharing it in the hope that it may edify someone. Good morning. For the past two weeks we have been looking at the early church in Acts with the overarching theme of unity. The topic given to me is “The Blessing of Unity”, …

The Sovereign Will of God

I was given the opportunity to preach the last sermon of the year to the church and the topic gave me room to share about what it means to be a Christian both in terms of what God has done and what we must do, matters that have been on my heart and mind. Good …

John’s Gospel

I preached this in church yesterday. Was not the easiest to prepare as I had too much to say to the church. Not the easiest text to grasp as well but I think John’s Gospel casts an important light to our understanding of the Gospel. Good morning. We are in the midst of a series …

Judas and Pilate

Putting together this sermon was tough going, mainly because I struggled to come to a conclusion that is worth taking home and in the end I ran out of time and energy. Interestingly, it was one of the better received sermons I had preached in the church. One never knows. Good morning. We are in …

The Gospel in 1 John

When I prepared my sermon on 1 John 5, I wrote out an overview of John’s argument in the first 4 chapters as a backdrop to his conclusions in chapter 5. In the end I had to take it out because the sermon was too long. However, the call to pray would make better sense …

1 John 5: Life and Death

I preached this sermon on Sunday. The sermon took a turn I did not expect, focusing on prayer both for our own spiritual health as well as for our brothers and sisters but it made a lot of sense. While John had emphasised that righteousness and love must be the hallmark of our Christian life …

Psalm 16: You are my Lord

I preached on Psalm 16 on Sunday. Here is my text. The psalm we are looking at this morning is Psalm 16. Let me read it to you. Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good …
