In Galatians 1:11–2:10, Paul presents the evidence that the gospel he preached did not originate with people but was revealed by Jesus Christ himself. Through his dramatic conversion, his limited consultation with Peter, and the affirmation of the other apostles, Paul demonstrates that the message of salvation by grace is truly from God. This sermon explores why we can have complete confidence in the gospel, resist false teaching, and stand firm in the good news that Christ died and rose again to bring forgiveness, assurance, and eternal life to all who trust in him.

There is only one gospel: the good news that Jesus Christ died and rose again to save sinners by grace alone. In this opening sermon from Galatians, we explore Paul's urgent defence of the true gospel against false teaching that sought to add human effort to God's grace. Be encouraged to rest in Christ alone and rejoice in the freedom that only the true gospel brings.

This is a sermon from Mark Calder on Romans 7. Here we are reminded that we are free from the grips of the law even though we still struggle with sin because Jesus gives us the victory.

This is the final sermon in our series in Genesis.

In Genesis 17, God renews his promises to Abraham and calls him to respond with faithful obedience. Although Abraham and Sarah seem far too old to have the promised son, God proves that nothing is impossible for him. This sermon explores the relationship between God’s grace and our response: we don’t obey in order to earn God’s promises, but because we have received them. The covenant sign of circumcision pointed to a heart devoted to God, and ultimately to Jesus Christ, through whom God’s promises are fulfilled. Because we have been saved by grace, we are called to trust God and live for him.

In Genesis 16, Abram and Sarai grow impatient with God's promises and take matters into their own hands, creating pain, conflict, and brokenness. Yet in the middle of human failure stands a God of extraordinary compassion. This sermon explores Hagar's story, the mistreated servant whom God sees, hears, and blesses. Far from overlooking the vulnerable, God reveals himself as the God who sees the broken-hearted and listens to their cries. Ultimately, Hagar's experience points us to Jesus, who came for the lowly, oppressed, and weary. Discover the assurance, comfort, and hope found in the God who sees you.

In this sermon from Genesis 15, we see Abram wrestling with doubt, fear, and unanswered questions yet meeting a God who is utterly faithful. As God reassures Abram with covenant promises, we’re reminded that salvation and assurance don’t rest on our performance or feelings, but on God’s unchanging word fulfilled in Jesus. Discover how God’s covenant with Abram points forward to the cross, where Christ secures forgiveness, righteousness, and certainty for all who trust in him. Whatever fears or doubts you carry, hear God’s promise again: “Do not fear.” In Jesus, we can know for sure that God is faithful and entrust ourselves completely to him.

In this sermon, we saw that God is the great rescuer and is the owner of heaven and earth. He is the one who is worthy of our trust and worship. Genesis 13-14

Faced with famine and fear, Abram doubts God’s promises, deceives Pharaoh, and places Sarai in danger to save himself. Yet despite Abram’s unfaithfulness, God remains faithful. In this sermon from St John’s Wishart, we explore how God rescues his people not because they are worthy, but because he is gracious. This passage points beyond Abram to the greater rescue found in Jesus Christ, where God proves once and for all that his promises rest not on our performance, but on his steadfast love and faithfulness.

From the chaos of Genesis 1–11 to one man in Genesis 12, this episode traces God’s bold plan to rescue a broken world. “The Call of Abraham” unpacks God’s surprising choice, his sweeping promises, and Abraham’s radical response. Can God really be trusted? His words say yes and history seals it. See how every promise points forward to Jesus, where blessing reaches all nations. This isn’t blind faith; it’s grounded trust in a faithful God.
