Preaching on Matthew 18 vs 1-5, David Taylor asks how we understand real greatness in the Kingdom of God. What does Jesus mean when he says we must become like children? He suggests that it is to recognise our dependence on God and to recognise our status before Him. True greatness comes not from earthly achievement but from being declared to be children of God.
As we conclude our series on the Compassion of Jesus, Chris explores Jesus’ surprising response to those in need of protection and leadership and it involves… you.
Chris continues to teach in our series exploring the compassion of Jesus. This week he seeks to apply the lessons of Jesus compassion for the hungry from Matthew 15:29-39 and calls for a practical response.
In the first in a new series of sermons on Jesus’ Compassion, Chris considers Matthew 14:14 where it is said that Jesus had compassion on the sick.
David Quin from Asia Link shares his passion for the un-reached people of Asia and preaches on Matthew Chapter 4. He encourages us to be both expansive and attractive in our sharing of the Gospel – going out to where people are to reach them and being so anointed with the Holy Spirit that people are irresistibly drawn to Jesus as they see Him working in our lives.
Chris highlights the nature of the encounter of those Jesus healed. One might have thought that a healing encounter with Jesus might inevitably lead to the healed person following Jesus as Lord. But through the healings recorded in the gospels we discover that is far from certain.
