![Fickle or Faithful [Sermon]](https://matthewruttan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/sermon-sunday-titles-4.png?w=1024)
Fickle or Faithful [Sermon]
Crowds can be fickle. One day they’re yelling “Hosanna!” to Jesus and a few days later they’re crying “Crucify him!” Where are we in the mix? Are we fickle, or faithful? That’s what this Palm Sunday sermon explores with John 12:12-19, along with four practical helps toward faithfulness.

![Hope is knowing and showing that better is coming [Sermon]](https://matthewruttan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/sermon-sunday-titles-2.png?w=1024)
Hope is knowing and showing that better is coming [Sermon]
It’s the ‘Age of Melancholy.’ People are despairing (for a lot of reasons). So what is your reason for hope, and how can you be a healing presence to others? That’s what this sermon on John 4:43-54 explores.

![Saved from what? (And FOR what?) [Sermon]](https://matthewruttan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sermon-sunday-titles.png?w=1024)
Saved from what? (And FOR what?) [Sermon]
Jesus saves. But from what? And FOR what? In short, more than you think on both accounts. This sermon on John 4:27-42 seeks to expend our understanding of what a Saviour is as we invite him to work in the troubled parts of our lives.

The kind of worshiper God wants [Sermon]
What do you seek? The weekend, more friends? God SEEKS people to worship him “in the Spirit and in truth.” So that’s clearly what we should be shooting for. But what does it mean, and how do we do it? That’s what I explore in this sermon on John 4:1-26.

The Endangered Recipe for Greatness [Sermon]
Power, independence and control are in. Humility is out. But why? It’s endangered. It’s also the recipe for true greatness in God’s eyes. This sermon explores John 3:22-36 and offers three applications for our lives.

John 3:16—If I should wake before I die [Sermon]
John 3:16. It’s a world-famous summary verse of what matters most. Heaven, hell, belief, condemnation, rescue, love, faith, Jesus. This sermon mines this text and provides 6 ideas to go deeper and higher.
