Sermon – Clash of Kingdoms: The way into the Kingdom (Matthew 19:13-20:16)

Read the text – Matthew 19:13-20:16

In this sermon, Paul Hallam guides us through three interactions people have with Jesus. In these conversations, Jesus reveals the way into the kingdom, that is, how someone can have eternal life. Only those who humble themselves and follow Jesus will enter the kingdom, and we must think about what might be hindering us from following him.

Sermon – New Beginnings: Come and See (John 1:35-51)

The Gospel of John introduces Jesus and gives him an extraordinary array of titles. Jesus does not disappoint. His teaching, his interactions, his miracles and his knowledge give those who meet him cause to question who he is – and as readers we also can look at these ‘encounters’ and decide for ourselves whether Jesus is worth another look. Perhaps a new beginning for a new year.

This talk looks at John the Baptist’s testimony about Jesus, and helps us to consider who Jesus is.
