    04.10.2026 - Romans 12:3-21 - Gospel Service

    04.10.2026 - Romans 12:3-21 - Gospel Service Preacher: Adam Johnston Also available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/fbSdAwO7TSo Big Idea: God's mercy transforms people to humbly serve God's people, and sacrificially love others, even their enemies. Aim: Live a life of humble service of fellow believers and sacrificial love to others, even our enemies, since we have received God's mercy. 1. Serving in a church shaped by God’s mercy (vv. 3-8) 2. Living in view of God’s mercy in a hostile world (vv. 9-21) Questions for us: 1. What reasons might someone have for serving at church? Can you do something good, like serving others, but for the wrong reasons? Does that matter? 2. How does Paul begin Romans 12? What bearing do verses 1-2 have on our passage for today? 3. In verse 3 we are told not to think too highly of ourselves but to consider ourselves with sober judgement. What reasons does Paul give for this? Does this mean we should consider ourselves worthless? 4. How does what we learn about ourselves in verses 3b – 6a undermine both our desire for self-importance and our instinct towards individualism? 5. How might we use the gifts listed in verses 6-8 to build up our own reputation or sense of importance? 6. In what ways are we each using our gifts to serve our church family? Are there opportunities for you to start serving in new ways? 7. How does our instinct for individualism make it difficult to treat others as Paul says in verse 9-13? Which of those instructions do you find most difficult? How might you make changes in those difficult areas this week? 8. How does our desire for self-importance get in the way of treating others as Paul says in verses 14-16? How can we grow in a self-forgetfulness that puts the interests of others above ourselves? 9. In verses 17–21, Paul tells us not to repay evil for evil, but to overcome evil with good. Why does trusting God's justice help us to respond to those who wrong us without taking revenge? What might doing good look like in a difficult relationship? 10. How does Jesus exemplify all the qualities we are called to in this passage? How does knowing that he has saved us and is changing us through his Spirit help us live as we are called to here?

    20.09.2026 - Romans 11 - Good News of God’s Faithfulness

    20.09.2026 - Romans 11 - Good News of God’s Faithfulness Preacher: Adam Johnston Also available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/B-_bVrn3aUo Big Idea: God's promises are secure and his grace overflows to Israel and the nations for his glory. Aim: Be humbled by God's mercy, grateful for our place in the story and expectant for him to accomplish his purposes for his glory. 1. God’s grace preserves a remnant (vv. 1-10) 2. God’s grace leaves no room for boasting (vv. 11-24) 3. God’s mercy accomplishes his purposes (vv. 25-32) 4. God’s wisdom deserves our praise (vv. 33-36) Questions for us: 1. Paul begins by asking, “Has God rejected his people?” (v.1). What evidence does he give that God has not abandoned Israel? What does Paul’s own conversion tell us about God’s grace? 2. What does Paul mean when he says that there is a “remnant chosen by grace” (vv.5–6)? Why does Paul say that salvation by grace and salvation by works are fundamentally incompatible? 3. Elijah thought he was the only faithful person left, but God told him about 7,000 others (vv.2–4). How might we worry God’s word has failed when looking around us? What does these verses teach us about God’s grace? 4. Paul repeatedly warns the Gentile Christians not to boast (vv.17–21). Why would it be tempting for them to feel superior to Jewish people? How might we be tempted to boast by comparing ourselves to Jewish or other ‘religious unbelievers’ today? 5. Paul says that the Gentiles have been “grafted in” and now share in the nourishing root (vv.17–18). What does this picture teach us about our relationship to God’s promises and to Israel? 6. Paul tells us to “consider the kindness and sternness of God” (v.22). Why do we need to keep both of these aspects of God’s character in view? What happens if we emphasise one while neglecting the other? 7. Paul says that Israel’s hardening is “in part” and “until the full number of the Gentiles has come in” (v.25). What does this teach us about God’s sovereignty over the course of history? How should this affect our confidence in God’s ability to keep his Word? 8. Paul concludes this section by saying that God has “bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all” (v.32). What does this teach us about the basis of our salvation? How should God’s mercy affect the way we think about people who currently reject Christ? 9. Romans 11 ends not with Paul praising God. What truths from the whole of Romans so far should lead us to praise God?

    13.09.2026 - Romans 9:30-10:21 - Good News We Proclaim

    13.09.2026 - Romans 9:30-10:21 - Good News We Proclaim Preacher: Adam Johnston Also available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/FZSu_Xqykms Big Idea: God keeps his promise because salvation is freely given to all who believe in Christ though those who seek righteousness by their own efforts reject God. Aim: Recognise that seeking righteousness by our own efforts rejects God and prayerfully proclaim salvation offered in Jesus. 1. People are zealous for their own righteousness and reject Christ (9:30-10:4) 2. Salvation is not earned by effort but received by calling on Jesus (10:5-13) 3. God’s salvation plan is accomplished through the proclamation of the good news (10:14-15) 4. People still hear the good news and reject it (10:16-21)

    06.09.2026 - Romans 9:1-29 - Good News of Election

    06.09.2026 - Romans 9:1-29 - Good News of Election Preacher: Adam Johnston Also available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/OwnWWnsHJ5I Big Idea: God has never broken his word because God's merciful salvation has always been based on promise and election not parentage or effort. Aim: Trust that God will keep his promises because he has not broken his word to his people and cry out to him for the salvation of our loved ones. God’s word hasn’t failed because… 1. Not all who appear to be God’s people are God’s people (vv. 1-13) 2. His mercy is sovereign (vv. 14-24) 3. It always included a remnant of Israel and the Gentiles (vv. 25-29)

    30.08.2026 - Psalm 49 - A Song for the Wealthy

    30.08.2026 - Psalms 49 - A Song for the Wealthy Preacher: Adam Johnston Also available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/UIOnJ64zvbg Big Idea: Great wealth cannot ransom someone from death so the wealthy need not be feared but the Lord can redeem from death. Aim: Don't fear the wealthy whose riches cannot redeem, but trust God who can save from death. 1. No-one Can Afford the Cost of a Life (vv. 5-15) 2. Only God Can Redeem from Death to Life (vv. 15-20)

    23.08.2026 - Psalm 48 - A Song for the Citizens Preacher: Adam Johnston Also available on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/vb3Nu2KMHe4?si=FKUcsKVFYe_9TBcM Big Idea: God's greatness is on display through the sights, safety and size of the city he is preparing for his people. Aim: Praise God and declare to others the sights, safety and size of the city Jesus has promised. 1. The Beauty of God’s City (vv. 1-3) 2. The Safety of God’s City (vv. 4-7) 3. The Size of God’s City (vv. 12-14) 4. Marvel at the King of the City (vv. 8-11)
