The Conveniently Neglected Teachings of Jesus

This is the featured image of the Godly Character sermon series

Rediscover some challenging yet essential teachings of Jesus that are often overlooked. Pastor Colin centres the series on Luke 6:46, where Jesus questions why people call him Lord but do not follow His instructions. Throughout the series, Colin emphasises that authentic Christianity is about embracing Jesus not only as Saviour but also as Lord and Teacher. The sermons explore themes such as loving enemies, the interplay of justice and mercy, and breaking free from cycles of hatred, underscoring that following Jesus’s guidance can lead to true freedom and healing from past wounds.

Pastor Colin draws from different life circumstances to illustrate the practical application of Jesus’s teachings, urging believers to reflect God’s character by practicing mercy and kindness even towards those who mistreat them. The series encourages us to reflect on their personal adherence to Christ’s teachings and to strive for a higher standard of Christian living. Each sermon is designed to challenge and inspire listeners to live out their faith in ways that deeply connect with Jesus’s transformative teachings, offering a path from spiritual stagnation to growth and deeper commitment.
