The Cries of The Cross

View all sermons by Adam Ritchard

Luke 23:13-49, 2:51; John 19:25-30; Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 13:5, 4:15 — The words spoken by Jesus upon the Cross are only few, but go to the very heart of Christ’s identity and mission. They reveal a Saviour who offers forgiveness and grace; who cares and who knows what it is to be human. They reveal a Saviour who suffered on our behalf and was surrendered to the Father’s will even unto death. Ultimately, they reveal a Saviour who was faithful and victorious - the pure and spotless sacrifice who paid our debt in full, once and for all.

Matthew 21:1-17; 20:17-19; Zechariah 9:9; John 18:36 — As we celebrate Palm Sunday we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the long awaited Messiah.

What can cut through this noise? Just as it was for the fearful disciples in that storm-rocked boat: it is the words, revelation, and witness of Jesus Christ our Lord.

A Year Of Increase: Less Is More

View all sermons by Adam Ritchard

John 3:7,14,22-31a, 4:4; Psalm 139:23-24; Philippians 2:3-11 — Where is Jesus in the picture of our lives - front and centre, or on the periphery? As Jesus’ following increased, John The Baptist was not threatened by Him as a rival teacher. Rather, knowing Jesus to be the Messiah, John knew his own role was a supporting act which must necessarily ‘decrease’ for Jesus’ prominence to ‘increase’. In the coming year, may we make it our highest goal and greatest necessity that Jesus would increase in every area of our lives.
