St. John's on Geddes - Sermon Audio

Embrace the Team – Romans chapter 16 verses 1-23.

Paul acknowledges many people who are committed to Gospel work and service.  They are from different nations, male and female, rich and poor, slaves and free.  These folk are ‘in Christ’ and hold to the unity of the Gospel teaching.

Crying Out for a King – 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11

What do you do when you are helpless? This week we start our series through 1 Samuel and see from 1 Samuel 1:1-2:11 how God saves those who humbly cry out to Him.

As Good as it Gets? – Psalm 126

Can we expect life to ever get better than this? This week we hear from guest preacher Rev. Glen Perkins from Miles-Roma how God’s people expect the full and perfect restoration they long for because we remember the great things he has done.

Fulfilled Gospel Love – Romans 13:8-14

We know that now is the time to love our neighbour in the community and in the Church.  But what are the actions of love?  Here we learn about the link between the Law and Love.  And we’re directed to love because we live in the light of day.  This is Gospel love.

Submit – Romans 13:1-7

How should Christians relate to the Government? Watch our in-person service from Sunday 13 August 2023 as we see from Romans 13:1-7 how, as those who are being transformed in Christ, we submit to the authorities that God has established to reward good and punish evil.

Overcome – Romans 12:9-21

We all love stories of good triumphing over evil but did you know we are called to triumph over evil in our everyday lives together? In fact, the way we do this might surprise you… This week we see from Romans 12:9-21 how, being transformed in Christ, we overcome evil with good in our daily life together as God’s people by loving one another and others, even our enemies, with genuine love.

Belong – Romans 12:3-8

Did you know belonging in a community can actually improve your health? It’s no surprise then that God’s good design for us includes belonging together as a community in Jesus. This week we see from Romans 12:3-8 how, belonging to one another as one body in Christ, Paul calls each of us to think of ourselves accurately, using our gifts to humbly serve together.

Grafted – Romans 11

Does God keep His promises? Yes! But what about Israel? Has He failed them? No way! We just haven’t seen the end of the story yet… This week we see from Romans 11 that God has not rejected Israel, nor have they stumbled beyond recovery, but they are still part of his plan to reach both Jews and Gentiles with the good news of Jesus. So as Gentiles grafted in, we must consider his sternness, continue in his kindness, and praise him for his rich mercy.

2 Timothy 2:1-9

All Stained – Leviticus 11-15

Leviticus tells us how a holy God can live with the unholy people he loves.  Sadly, everything in God’s good creation has been made unclean by the stain of sin.  We need to know this.  And we need to know what must be done to cleanse the unclean.
