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.

![Ritual or Relationship [Sermon]](https://matthewruttan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/sermon-sunday-titles.png?w=1024)
Ritual or Relationship [Sermon]
While cleansing the Temple Jesus was full of “zeal.” What is it? (Because we too should have it.) This sermon on John 2:13-25 explores this idea and encourages us to move from ritual to relationship in our faith.

The source and security of our dignity [Sermon]
It’s one of his most popular sermons. Turning water into wine — and over 700 bottles! But why? And how does this influence how we think about our dignity and honour? That’s what this sermon on John 2:1-12 explores.

![The Holy Spirit makes your spirit whole [Sermon]](https://matthewruttan.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/sermon-sunday-titles.png?w=1024)
The Holy Spirit makes your spirit whole [Sermon]
We want to be whole-hearted, balanced and refreshed. And yet, many are feeling half-hearted, off-centred and tired! Good news: The Holy Spirit makes your spirit whole. That’s what I explore in this sermon on John 1:19-34.
