Only by knowing God! In Psalm 4 we see David's prayer, David's patience, and David's peace. Only by faith can we know true peace, for true peace is God's peace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/3826125422087 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:35:45 no Gervase Charmley - Songs of Zion https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/3826209504661 God's Covenant points his people backwards and forwards, to consider what we know and to leave what we cannot know to God. We see in Deuteronomy 29 God's care in the past, his Covenant now, and the peril of his curse in the future. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/3826209504661 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:29:46 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/34262051115790 Suffering is part of the Christian life, and was part of the experience of Peter's readers. How then do we handle it? First of all, we must know what we believe and why. Secondly, we must remember Christ's path from suffering to triumph, one that is ours because we were baptised into Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/34262051115790 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 04 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:23 no Gervase Charmley - God's Pilgrims https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/31262016387006 Deuteronomy 28 confronts God's people with blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. We see here the reward for God's faithful people, the rejection of God and God' rejection that follows, and the reversal of blessing, but we are also pointed to the reversal of the curse in Christ being made a curse for his people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/31262016387006 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:30:13 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/312612117501 In Psalm 3 we see a believing response to troubles. David, fleeing from his son Absalom, shares his troubles, tells of his trust, and looks to God's triumph. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/312612117501 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:04 no Gervase Charmley - Songs of Zion https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/225262043181088 We are called to live the Christian life, but what does that mean in practice? Peter concludes a section on that subject by first addressing Christian women married to unbelieving men, and then Christian husbands, and finally appealing to his readers to be of one mind in Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/225262043181088 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:35:07 no Gervase Charmley https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/215262017414673 God has spoken, and by his Word he has spoken his Covenant. We see in Deuteronomy 27 the Imperishable Word, the Intelligible Word, and the Implacable Word, and how the Word is centred on Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/215262017414673 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:32:07 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/21526123144012 The world is in rebellion against God; how then do we understand that God is sovereign? Psalm 2 teaches us just how we are to think, even in the face of the world's rulers raging against God. We the rebellion, God's response, and finally God's rebuke. Christ reigns, and he shall judge. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/21526123144012 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 15 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:56 no Gervase Charmley - Songs of Zion https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/211262047314548 Christians are pilgrims in the world, how then do we relate to and live in society? Peter gives the basic principle, and then woks through examples, namely the Christian and the state, and the Christian slave, and shows us how Christ is our example - and more. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/211262047314548 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 11 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:34:00 no Gervase Charmley - God's Pilgrims https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/2826122437620 Christian worship is in Spirit and in Truth, and thus it requires the worshipper to be of the right character. We see in Psalm 1 the character of the true worshipper outlined. We see what he delights in, the difference between him and the false, and the division between godly and ungodly. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/2826122437620 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:34:07 no Gervase Charmley - Songs of Zion https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/2826208473626 Worship is a vital part of the life of God's covenant people. We see in Deuteronomy 26 three aspects of that worship. We see thanksgiving, the tithe that speaks of the solidarity of God's people, and the testimony that we bear in worship that God our God, and that he bears that we are his people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/2826208473626 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 08 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:32:09 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/24262048317079 If we are Christians we are not just isolated individuals, but part of the Church, and to grow as Christians is to grow in the Church. In 1 Peter 2:1-10 we see how Christians grow, we see that the Church is God's Temple, and we see that the Church is God's people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/24262048317079 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 04 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:36:25 no Gervase Charmley - God's Pilgrims https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/21262022333505 The principles of God's law are intended to protect his people. We see in Deuteronomy 25 some of these principles; the protection of those convicted of crimes and of workers, the defence of the family and procreation, and the provocation of God's abominable enemies. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/21262022333505 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:40:12 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/2126122396506 Christ is risen, and bids his people rejoice, for he has conquered sin and death. Yet he is also opposed by those who wish to hide the fact to hold on to their power over people. In Matthew 28 we see the Conqueror, the conspiracy, and the commission. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/2126122396506 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:57 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/128262047246235 Since we are Christians, let's BE Christians! That's Peter's instruction in 1 Peter 1:13-25. That means serious, disciplined thinking on the Gospel, which leads to a disciplined life and the pursuit of holiness, not in order to be saved, but because we are saved. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/128262047246235 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 28 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:28 no Gervase Charmley - God's Pilgrims https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/125262017522336 God has formed a Covenant people, and being in that Covenant comes with responsibility to reflect God's grace and kindnss to one another. We see in Deuteronomy 24 the rights the Covenant promotes, the responsibility it brings, and the remembrance it calls us to. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/125262017522336 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:38:57 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/12526121082578 Christ was crucified for his people. We see in Matthew 27:27-66 the scorn he suffered, the salvation he procured, and the sepulchre in which he was buried. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/12526121082578 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:30:53 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1212621445542 God's people are pilgrims in this world. In the opening of 1 Peter, the Apostle Peter addresses his readers with a thanksgiving to God for salvation. We see who he is, and who Christians are by grace. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1212621445542 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 21 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:37:09 no Gervase Charmley - God's Pilgrims https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/118261959353667 God is holy, and therefore the Church, his covenant community, is called to be holy. We see in Deuteronomy 23 who is excluded from God's covenant people, the holiness needed as God's army in the world, and how that holiness is seen in not exploiting people the way the world exploits, but in mutual love. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/118261959353667 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:36:37 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/11826122066625 In the opening part of Matthew 27, we are confronted with choices made concerning Christ. We see Judas, who never saw Christ as anything other than a means to an end; we see Pilate, who chose to let others make the choice for him; and we see the mob, who chose Barabbas and his carnal promises over Christ and his spiritual ones. And we see most of all Christ, who chose to go to the cross to save his people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/11826122066625 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 18 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:36:59 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/111262018145229 The world is dark, but God is light. Isaiah 60 promises Christ as the light, and looks forward to the age to come, when God will gather his people by his grace, the all shall know his glory. We see here the gleam of light, the gathering of God's people, and the glory that shall be. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/111262018145229 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 11 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:34:52 no Gervase Charmley https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1726211353138 Paul's Epistle to Philemon is the shortest of his Epistles, and the only one that is strictly personal. It deals with the Chistin life, forgiveness, and new life in Christ. We see in it how Christianity changes the world by changing people. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1726211353138 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 07 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:32:58 no Gervase Charmley https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/14261222384927 The Wise Men were determined to worship Christ. They did not treat his birth as a mere curiosity, but as a call to worship, though it meant a long and dangerous journey. We see their desire, the dangers represented by Herod and the people in Jerusalem, and the devotion of the Wise Men when they finally reached Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/14261222384927 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 04 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:34:21 no Gervase Charmley - Christmas 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1231252033292574 The Gospel informs how we live. In the last chapter of Paul's Epistle to Titus, he explains how this works, beginning with the question of conduct, and moving on to our Gospel motive for good works. He tells Titus what he ought to teach, and what - and whom - he should avoid. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1231252033292574 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 31 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:34:48 no Gervase Charmley - Church and Ministry https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1228251211295520 At Christmas time we reflect on the love of God. Looking at Isaiah 63:7-9, we see the compassion of God, the Covenant of God, and the Cross of God. Here is love seen in fullness, in Jesus Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1228251211295520 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:18 no Gervase Charmley - Christmas 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/122825201245802 Psalm 132 celebrates God's faithfulness to his people through the House of David, faithfulness that is fulfilled in Christ in it fullness. We see the piety of David and his people, the promise of God, and the presence of God with his people in Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/122825201245802 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 28 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:40 no Gervase Charmley - Christmas 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1225251215414814 Christmas has come round again. What are we celebrating? We listen again the message of the angels to the Shepherds, of a Saviour who is Christ the Lord. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1225251215414814 Religion & Spirituality Thu, 25 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:14:29 no Gervase Charmley - Christmas 2025 https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1221252035388029 Advent with Isaiah ends with the carol service message, dwelling on Isaiah 9:2-7. We see the Salvation God brings, and the Saviour he sends, the reason why the Gospel is indeed good news. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1221252035388029 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:15:56 no Gervase Charmley - Advent With Isaiah https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1221251210331228 Isaiah 7 is famous for the prophecy of Immanuel, God with us. Some have cast doubt on it being about the Lord Jesus, but understood in context, it is. We see the Sign offered and refused, the Son who will come, and the Sentence pronounced by God. And we see that neither human sin nor human stupidity can prevent God from carrying out his purposes. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1221251210331228 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 21 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:30:10 no Gervase Charmley - Advent With Isaiah https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/121725211267424 How we live is based on what we believe. In Titus 2, Titus is instructed as to how Christians ought to behave, and why they should do that. Ministering in a pagan culture, he is to instruct Christians in a life built upon faith in the Gospel. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/121725211267424 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 17 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:38:40 no Gervase Charmley - Church and Ministry https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/12142520526124 Isaiah 61 begins with the manifesto of the Messianic Revolution. Christ comes to bring glad tidings to the poor and freedom to the prisoners. What does this mean? And is it about his first or second advents - or both? https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/12142520526124 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:30:08 no Gervase Charmley - Advent With Isaiah https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/121425120104656 Pilgrims travelling though the desert suddenly find the land become a paradise! God encourages his people with the promise of Chist's second Advent.

Writing to Titus, who is organising the young churches in Crete, Paul points to this connection. He begins with the Faith, which forms the Church, and then goes on to the Order which maintains it against false teachers. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1210252059236636 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 10 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:41:08 no Gervase Charmley - Church and Ministry https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/12725121417376 Christ is the Son of David, but he is more than that; he is a second, better David. We see in Isaiah 11 the Rod of Jesse, his Rule, and his peaceful Realm. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/12725121417376 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:29:32 no Gervase Charmley - Advent With Isaiah https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/127252020462456 The prophets witness to Christ. The whole Old Testament is about him.

Is this just an unreachable ideal, or is it something that shall be? And how shall it be?

We see in Matthew 26:31-75 the Prayer of Christ in the garden of Gethsemane, the Purpose of Christ as he faces his foes, and the Perseverance of Christ as he goes to the cross. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/112325122438381 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:15 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1123251958214338 God's grace creates a covenant community, the Church. In that community he renews the order that sin has broken. We see in Deuteronomy 22 how laws about the protection of life and the purity of the community speak of the Gospel and the love of God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1123251958214338 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 23 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:33:09 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/11192521603420 In 2 Timothy 2 Paul argues that the challenges of the ministry require a humble conviction - that is to say that concerning self we must be humble, but certain concerning God and the Word. It is in this spirit that any controversy should be attempted. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/11192521603420 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 19 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:38:32 no Gervase Charmley - Church and Ministry https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1116251442597263 As the sadow of the cross deepens, Christ divides peple as never before. Mary's anointing of Christ shows her understanding that he is soon to die, and Judas' fundamentally selfish attitude. So in Matthew 26:1-30 we see the plans of God and man, the differing perceptions of those involved, and the Passover as it gives way to the Lord's Supper. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1116251442597263 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:30:52 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1116252021447002 The world is disordered because of sin. The restoration of order requires God to work, and ultimately requires atonement. That is the message of Deuteronomy 21. We see how an unsolved murder affects society, how war and family disputes create insecurity, and how a disobedient adult son and the punishment of a notorious criminal affect stability. Most of all we see how these things point us to the cross of Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1116252021447002 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:35:46 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/1112252050251517 Christianity, and espcialy Christian ministry, is challenging. In 2 Timothy 1 Paul, in prison and facing death, encourages Timothy to hold fast, and through Timothy, encourages us.

Closing his first Epistle to Timothy, Paul speaks of contentment. He is quite realistic; we live in a world of bad jobs, bad bosses, and false teachers. But contentment is not found in things or circumstances, but in Christ.

In 1 Timothy 1, Paul charges Timothy to teach true doctrine and oppose those who do not. He characterises false doctrine as empty and often law-based, while true doctrine is Gospel-focused and uses the law rightly. Paul himself is a saved sinner, and the Gospel is salvation for sinners through the death of Christ. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/910251953441387 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 10 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:38:48 no Gervase Charmley - Church and Ministry https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/97251921565730 In Deuteronomy 16 we read of the three feasts that God instituted with the Old Covenant, which today are all replaced by the Lord's Supper.

All who are in the Kingdom have received God's grace. Just as Christ came to serve, so we are called to serve one another in our various callings. We have received God's compassion in Christ, and so we follow him.

In Deuteronomy 14 part of the meaning of this fact is brought out and explained. We see the status of God's people, who they are and why. We see the separation of God's people, that they are in the world but not of it. And we see how this fact affects how God's people see their substance, their possessions as gifts from God, and how they employ these gifts. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/824251910117972 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 24 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:38:23 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/824251127301368 Christ continues to teach the ethics of the Kingdom of God, showinghow they go against the ideas of the world - even of the religious world. We see in the issue of Divorce what God made marriage as, and God's view of men and women. We see in his receiving of little children and the matter of the rich young ruler how status counts for nothing with God.

He gives three scenarios of the danger, and explains how it is to be resisted. We see first the danger of pretenders to revelations trying to draw people away; second the situation where people we are in close elationships try to draw us away, and thirdly a case where a city of revolutionaries seek to draw God' people away from him. This must be applied to the Church as God's Covenant Community, called to Covenant faithfulness to the faithful God. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/817251922482453 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 17 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:36:12 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/81725117472058 What is the character of God's rule in people?

We see in Matthew 15 his controversy with the Pharisees, his teaching on the true corruption and therefore need of humanity, and the confidence that we may have in him. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/727251111188181 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 27 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:30:32 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/71325199207239 God's blessings to his people do not come by merit, they come through a Mediator. In Deuteronomy 9 Moses reminds the people that they were not delivered because of might or merit, he calls them to remember their past sins, and to recall God's grace to them through his mediation. So he points us to Christ, the better Mediator. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/71325199207239 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:29:33 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/71325111056546 Fear or faith, which rules your life? In Matthew 14 we see the fear of Herod, the feeding of the multitude, and the faith of the Disciples. Herod, the would-be king who rules by fear, is himself ruled by fear, but Christ, the true and compassionate King, rules by faith. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/71325111056546 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 13 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:31:12 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/79251945245911 The Nicene Creed begins with the confession of one God, the Father Almighty, the Creator.

In Deuteronomy 8 God calls on his people to remember. We are called to remember the past, what God has done. We are to remember God's purpose, which is for good, and we are to remember the peril of forgetting and falling. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/76251923413200 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:31:37 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/7625118291768 Christ taught in parables - but why? Parables both reveal and conceal, they are intended to spur thought, and those who will not think miss their meaning. We see in Matthew 13 the need of consideration in parables, the challenge that the parables answer, and the call for comprehension, understanding, that they give. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/7625118291768 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 06 Jul 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:34:25 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/7225207586581 2025 marks 1700 years since the Council of Nicea in 325.

We see from Deuteronomy 7 the Conflict of God's people, the Calling of God's people, and the Confidence of God's people. Chosen to be holy, we are in a no-compromise conflict; we are called to be holy, and our confidence is in God alone. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/62925192344873 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:35:23 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/62925118183517 What do God's enemies look like? The people who most opposed Christ were the Pharisees, who combined a profession of religion with legalistic cruelty. We see in Matthew 12 their attitude to the Sabbath, the issue of their speech, and their demand for a sign. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/62925118183517 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 29 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:31:27 no Gervase Charmley - The Gospel of the King https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/625251949122791 Revelation ends on a high note.

The answer is love! Love is the fulfilling of the Law, but what does that mean? In Deuteronomy 6 we see the devotion at the heart of the Law, the danger of forgetting God, and the duty to remember in reverence. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/62225192507715 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 22 Jun 2025 12:00:00 +0000 Gervase Charmley 0:32:24 no Gervase Charmley - The Preaching of the Covenant https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/gncharmley/sermons/62225111844400 Christ calls to the labouring and heavy laden, calling them to become his disciples.
