John 8:32
Psalm 77 shows that believers face times when God feels distant and help seems delayed. The psalmist honestly describes his distress but also models a way forward: remembering God’s mighty works of salvation. It teaches us today how to follow Christ even when his footprints are hidden.
Death casts its dark shadow over the whole of our lives, threatening to rob us of all joy and meaning. What hope is there in the face of death? When Jesus declares, “I am the resurrection and the life,” he reveals that victory over death is found in him alone.
“It is finished.” These three words changed everything. What did Jesus mean when He spoke these words from the cross? Come and see for yourself in John 19, where you can witness the love, justice, and sacrifice of God, which has accomplished more than we can possibly imagine.
Jesus’ followers appear powerless in the face of violent opposition—but Acts 12 reveals that God’s sovereign purposes prevail. Through the earnest prayers of the church, He rescues Peter, humbles a prideful king, and makes it clear: no earthly power can stop the advance of Jesus’ unstoppable kingdom.
How does Jesus continue to grow His church worldwide? He uses His people to evangelise, encourage, teach, and support others—each essential in a healthy church! Acts 11:19-30 contains a beautiful example of the first multicultural church doing just that, reminding us that God can do the same through us as well.
Change can be hard and scary, especially when it's difficult to recognise the need for it. It gets even more challenging when it involves many people. In Acts 11:1-18, we see what it takes for God to change the minds and hearts of sceptical believers, expanding their vision for His global mission.
Jesus’ mission has always been to the nations, yet like Peter, we can struggle to see the full reach of the gospel. In Acts 10, God reshapes both Peter and Cornelius—just as He wants to reshape us. This story challenges us to embrace God’s bigger vision for His kingdom.
Why were miracles so common in the early church but seem rare today? This sermon explores two incredible miracles by Peter—healing a paralytic and raising the dead—to discover their true purpose. Do miracles still happen? And what do they teach us about Jesus and the gospel?
