In a new and uncertain era, what is our stronghold and purpose? [Sermon]

The H.A.L.O. Response [Sermon]
“Don’t judge me!” That phrase is thrown around a lot these days. But what is the difference between being judgmental and using “right judgment” (which Jesus says we should do)? That’s what I explore in this sermon on John 7:1-24. “Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

![Your soul has an appetite [Sermon]](https://matthewruttan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/sermon-sunday-titles-3.png?w=1024)
Your soul has an appetite [Sermon]
Your soul has an appetite — fill it with the wrong thing and be eternally corroded; fill it with the right thing and be eternally contented. This sermon on John 6:25-71 explores this idea as Jesus speaks controversial words about being “the bread of life.”

Uncertainty is an Opportunity [Sermon]
He actually walked on water. And there was a purpose to it. The powerful presence of Jesus is greater than the powerful presence of fear. That’s what I explore (for them then and for you now) in this sermon on John 6:16-24.

He has a serious and self-sacrificial approach which flows from his own experience of Christ’s love. This podcast is a talk (and interview) with Rev. Han.

Your input, God’s output [Sermon]
Do you ever wonder if you can make a real difference? You can; but you may be thinking about it all wrong. That’s what this practical sermon on John 6:1-15 explores. It’s the story of Jesus feeding the thousands… and of an anonymous boy.
