James 4.13

Sermon by Dr Peter Masters preached on 2 December 2012
God's Will for Us.

James gives two examples of how a worldly believer lives without reference to God: first in critical talk about other Christians, and secondly in deciding their own affairs without considering God's will and purpose. Here is how to be prayerfully available to God, the opposite of worldliness.

Moses Teaches Humility. Here is a magnificent 3,500-year-old sermon about humility, providing ten aspects of life in which humility is the central element.

John 4.14

Sermon by Dr Peter Masters preached on 18 November 2012
Gaining an Inner Life. Christ uses water as an illustration of all that we need to support physical life and contentment - but it has limits. He then uses 'living water' to illustrate the inner spiritual life that only He can give. Do we have this 'more abundant life' which never ends?

James 3.1-12

Sermon by Dr Peter Masters preached on 11 November 2012
Bridling the tongue for Christ.
