Sermons by David Brownlie

We are called to be faithful.

Today David takes us on a journey highlight the way God has worked through peoples faithfulness in the past and hoe e can work through our faithfulness now.

Good Friday

As we remember the death of our Saviour, we also need to remember His resurrection and His continuing presence with us. Andrew Murray said “A dead Christ I must do everything for, a living Christ does everything for me.” Are you living your life as though CHRIST IS RISEN or are you acting as though He is still dead?

Ephesians 4

This week David looks at the themes of “Maturity and Unity” in the Body of Christ. How central they are, not just in chapter 4 but through the whole book of Ephesians.

Seek to be what you want others to become.

David looks at John 10 (The good Shepherd) and John 11 (The raising of Lazarus), focussing especially on the way that Jesus said he did nothing by Himself. He said He only did what He saw His Father doing. Jesus’ relationship with the Father is the example that we should follow – praying, listening, trusting, obeying – just as our Lord Himself did. 1 Cor 11:1 “Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ.”

The Love of Christ Compels Us.

In this message David expands on the love we see Jesus had with people; a deliberate love, a selfless concern for the welfare of others. Leading to a challenge of how this lives outworks in our own lives and what this sort of love should mean to us as a church.

The Supremacy of Christ in the Church

Christ is the ‘firstborn’ over all creation. That speaks of His priority, His pre-eminence and His sovereignty. We need to focus on an audience of One and ask ourselves these questions – Is Christ Supreme and Will I submit to Him?

Know who you are

2 Cor 5:17 says “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new has come.” We need to remember where our personal worth comes from. We take a look through 2 Timothy to see how we should live ‘in Christ’ and are reminded again that we “were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your bodies.” (1 Cor 6:20).
