Stand Alone Messages
The Crux of Forgiveness
Forgiveness matters. Join in listening to this sermon as John delves into the crucial theme of forgiveness. In this message, he explores common misguided approaches to forgiveness and provides a practical approach rooted in Jesus' teachings and example. This sermon explores how to forgive when we don't want to and helps us grapple with God's unending forgiveness in our daily lives.
Resilient Faith
Discover how God, who is depicted as a good shepherd and generous host in Psalm 23, intends to lead us into a bright future. Join us as we explore how God consistently guides His people towards a loving life and a resilient faith.
The Mission of the Church
Ministry is a gift of mercy. This message takes place on the launch Sunday of a new ministry year. This passage is used as a commissioning text for those serving at Midtown this upcoming year. In it we see that all ministry is: one, a gift of mercy, two, calls us to proclaim the whole gospel because of what it brings, and three, must be undergirded with prayer and reliance of the Holy Spirit.
Equipped with Everything Good
This message walks through the benediction that ends the letter to the Hebrews. In it we look at the ways God equips believers, the basis for His equipping and the ultimate outcome of His equipping work.
Our Assurance
In this stand alone message we look at one of the most precious passages in the entire Bible. Romans 8 deals with the great promise of the assurance of our salvation in Jesus Christ. And yet, it's a promise misunderstood and often forgotten. In this message we take the time to be reminded that nothing, including us, can separate those in Christ from the love of Christ.
Abiding in Jesus
New Year's Day leads to resolutions for many people - lose weight, pay off debt, eat healthier, spend more time with friends and family and so on. In this message we look at a passage that calls us to something far more important than any of those. It's a call of first importance, the call to abide in Christ.
A Desperate Cry, A Compassionate Saviour
The Woman of Samaria
We are taking a one week break from our series on I Corinthians and dropping on John 4 where Jesus encounters a woman with a past. In this encounter Jesus reminds us of who He came for and what He came to do.
Why Jesus?
In this kick off message to the new ministry year we answer the question, with the skeptic in mind, of why Midtown exists to make Jesus known.
