The Right God The Right Way
Exodus 20:4 – 6. The second Commandment warns us that God is jealous, so we have to be very careful; the God we serve and worship must be the God of the Bible, not some other God we may have dreamed up for ourselves. But did you realise? It also implies that we have to be careful about how we go about serving and worshipping Him.

Oh How I Love Your Law
Back in the day, there were standards: standards that Christians held to. Not now. Not the same. Maybe some of the old rules were wrong, and they had to go, but maybe we have gone too far, reacting against strict legalism, fitting in with the world around us, going with the flow. These sermons are about restoring Biblical standards of Christian behaviour: getting back to some clear black-and-white thinking about what’s right and what's wrong. They take a fresh look at the Ten Commandments. But our starting point is Psalm 119:97: “Oh how I love your law! " You have to start there. You have to learn to love God's law, and here are ten reasons why you should.

Wake Up
What is it with us? Why are we so slow to change and so quick to make excuses? We all have people who get on our nerves. They've been getting on our nerves for years. We know we should love them. We say we want to, and we mean to, but we keep making excuses. It’s so hard! we say. Will you wake up? Do you not know what time it is? It’s way past time for excuses. Just wake up and do it? Romans 13:11 – 14

What About Me?
It’s the cause of so many of our failures. If we ever bring dishonour on God’s name, rather than glorify Him, this is probably why. It’s one of our biggest problems in the Christian life. We think too much of ourselves. Romans 12:3 – 8.
