Mouthpiece for Truth and Justice

March 25, 2015 by 2

How to be a Mouthpiece for Truth and Justice is the sermon theme for week 7 of Fruitfulness on the Frontline with Rev. Graham Crawford –

In today’s lesson on how to be fruitful on the frontline we come to a story which we all know so well.

Many of us have sat in the pew and had fingers pointed at us by ministers acting the part of the prophet, Nathan, as they pronounced: “You are the Man.”

Indeed, every commentary I looked at considered this from the standpoint of preaching on the wages of sin.

However, today I want to look at the passage from 2nd Samuel in a very different way.

Instead of me acting the part of Nathan and pointing the finger at you, I am asking how we all can be Nathans, pointing the finger at injustice in the world around us. [Read more…]

Moulding Culture

March 15, 2015 by 2

“Moulding Culture” is the sermon title for week 6 of “Fruitfulness on the Frontline” from Rev. Graham Crawford:

In our list of things that we should be doing in order to be fruitful where we are, this is perhaps one of the hardest.

It is the one which, as a church, we are probably failing at most dramatically.

We know scriptures such as Romans 12: 2. You read it most times you come into church – even if subconsciously. And yet we still allow our culture to shape the mission and attitudes of our church.

2 Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Minister Grace and Love

March 8, 2015 by 2

“Minister Grace and Love” is the message for Week 5 of “Fruitfulness on the Frontline”. The sermon delivered by Rev. Graham Crawford on 08 March 2015.

In this series so far on Fruitfulness on our frontline – or, in other words, how we can become a missional church – we have looked at

  • how we can model Godly character, and
  •  how we can make good work.

Now, we are looking at ministering Grace and Love. [Read more…]

Make Good Work

March 1, 2015 by 2

Week 4 of “Fruitfulness on the Frontline” involves looking at how we “Make Good Work”, with Rev. Graham Crawford:

This morning, instead of ending my sermon with a video clip, I want to begin the sermon with the clip because – instead of it inspiring us to follow through on the theme of the sermon – this one issues us a challenge, a worthy challenge, a Godly challenge.

[Link to Common Good RVA video on Vimeo.com, which encourages the viewer to explore what it means to see our everyday work as a meaningful part of our Christian calling].

Childhood dreams

I wonder how many of us pursue our childhood dreams to do the things we dreamt of as youngsters?

When I grow up I want to: be an engine driver; be a fireman; drive a tractor; play football.

One of my favourite bumper stickers of all time was on the back of a wee red mini. It simply said: “When I grow up, I want to be a fire engine!”

I love that!

As the chap in the video said, they were all things that seemed like fun; exciting things to do that were full of purpose.

I do not know many 6 or 7 year olds who say that, when they grow up, they want to be stuck behind a desk all day.

And yet, as the video points out, for many of us our nine to five job ends up being a “toil of frustration”.

How can we redeem our work?

After all, as we have already said, Jesus came into the world to redeem everything. Not just people but the whole of creation – and that means our work as well. [Read more…]
