The Judgement Seat of Christ

If you are saved by grace through faith you have already been declared righteous by faith in Christ; this means that heaven awaits you. Yet whilst it is right to revel in this magnificent truth, often we forget that there will be a judgement of believers too. This sermon unpacks what will happen on that day when each Christian will give an account of their lives – both their acts of commission and acts of omission - before Jesus. You will be galvanised to live in such a way to make your works today count for eternity – to be the kind of believer who lives the kind of life that will receive a reward from Jesus at His judgement seat.

A Great White Throne

At the Great White Throne the unsaved dead of all the ages will receive their final sentence: eternal punishment in the lake of fire. This sermon unpacks what Revelation 20 has to say about this final act of judgement. Unbelievers will be challenged as they listen to ponder just exactly where they will be after death; believers will freshly appreciate the life-changing, eternity-altering work of Jesus to save them from eternal condemnation and be galvanised to share the truth of eternity with others.

One Minute After You Die

One minute after you die you will either be in a state of indescribable joy or unbearable misery. Where and how you end up depends on the investments into eternity that you have made in this life, not least whether you have made Jesus the Saviour and Lord of your life. This eye-opening sermon unpacks what the Bible teaches about the intermediate state (that is, the present heaven and the present hell), as well as the future state which will be ushered in once Christ comes again. Learn what happens to both the believer and the unbeliever at both the point of death and then a moment later.

Who Is My Neighbour?

Although most people are familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan, all too often we’ve sanitised Jesus’ message in it, which results in us missing just how challenging the call to love our neighbour as ourselves is. The Good Samaritan isn’t a story about the kindness of strangers; it’s a radical redefinition of the word 'neighbour' and a picture of crossing divisions to love those who are different to us. This sermon challenges us to ask the questions “who is my neighbour?” and “how can I be a neighbour to them?”.
