This is the first of a series on the parables of Jesus that we find in Matthew’s gospel. Today we start with the incredibly well-known parable of the sower, or more precisely, the soils. The people of Jesus’ day lived in an agrarian society, so they were familiar with Jesus’ story. This story is simple, yet the message was hard for the disciples to understand, so Jesus gives the meaning of the…

We are continuing our short topical series related to stewarding our time, talents and treasures. Today we wrestle with stewarding our treasures, with the focus in relation to stewarding our money. This is not always a fun thing to think about, let alone preach about, but it is important. The reason is simple; the Bible makes it clear that the way we use money is a window onto our true devotion.…
We are continuing our short topical series related to stewarding our time, talents and treasures. Today we wrestle with stewarding our talents. The church is so much more than a handful of elite Christians ministering in various ways for an hour on Sunday mornings while everyone else sits and watches. Rather, it’s intended to be a vibrant community of believers in which everyone is actively loving…
We are beginning a 3-week series on Stewardship. We are stewards of our lives. Managers. Not owners. God is the Owner. He is the Lord. He entrusts us with all that goes on in our lives. In this series we will look at three areas in our lives we are to steward- time, talents and treasures. Today we will look at stewarding our time. As the Puritan Thomas Watson said, “Time is a talent to trade…

Stealing is a community problem, condemned by societies throughout human history. So, this commandment is relevant for all people. In Australia, the crime statistics and the public cost of stealing and robbery is huge. It is estimated that theft and retail crime cost Australia up to $9.3 billion annually. We have a problem, but our focus is going to be on us as Christians, rather than society in…
King Manasseh’s life was one of the darkest stories in the Old Testament. He defiled the temple, created idols and worshipped other gods. Yet despite all this, the story has a twist, Manasseh humbled himself in the lowest part of his life and God met him with astonishing mercy, grace and restoration. Join me this Sunday, as we discover that no one is beyond the merciful and gracious hand of God…

What can seem like acts of service that go above and beyond our expectations are in fact, the ordinary duty of servants in the Kingdom. In Luke 17:5-10, Jesus teaches that forgiving others and following Him are not extraordinary acts but the duty of those who have received grace. Even the smallest faith in a powerful Saviour is enough to do duty. Grace when properly understood, replaces…
In the opening chapter of Galatians, Paul is at pains to express how important it is that we get the gospel right. If we get the gospel wrong, our eternity and the honour of Jesus are at stake. Since it is so critical to get the gospel right, we should also ask the question: how do we know which gospel is authoritative? How do we know whether the gospel we believe is authoritative? This Sunday, we…
