Tony Reinke from The Shepherds Scrapbook blog has just posted on his favourite sermons for 2007. Both of the preaches were delivered by Sinclair Ferguson in May at the Banner of Truth Minister’s Conference in Grantham, Pennsylvania.
Rather than describe the preaches myself I will quote directly from Tony’s post, which sums them up pretty well:
Taking his cue from Titus 2:11-15, Ferguson expounded how our sanctification is the purchase of the Cross. In other words, when we consider our personal growth in holiness, we should be reminded that Christ purchased this sanctification for us. It was a stirring message, and I left with a deeper appreciation for the Cross.
Recently I mentioned that Sovereign Grace Ministries had made all of their sermons free. Now their worship music blog Worship Matters has produced a really useful post highlighting the top twenty mp3 sermons relevant to Christian musicians.
I’m no musician, but the choice of sermons is superb and covers areas such as leadership, theology and songwriting amongst others. It is a good mix of practical, spiritual and theological areas. The preachers include Stuart Townsend, Mark Altrogge and Josh Harris.
I mentioned last week what had helped me most with my first sermon, after a small delay the preach on loving your enemies is now available online.
Recommending it for listening is not bombastic pride, but I have struggled to find preaches to suggest for the weekly sermon section lately. Not due to a lack of quality, but I have lost my iPod lead so I can’t listen to any podcasts on the way to work at the moment! I hope to rectify this situation soon…
‘ …OUR GOAL IS TO MEASURE UP TO GOD’S PLAN FOR US…’ 2 CORINTHIANS 10:13
While we are called to serve others, even Jesus did not try to meet everybody’s needs.
What kind of person am I becoming? Peter says, ‘So don’t lose a minute in building on what you have been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love…’ (2 Peter 1:5-7 TM). Tall order,eh? Do not get discouraged. It takes a lifetime to put these building blocks in place.
If Philip Yancey wanted to know what was so amazing about grace then this preach would be a good place to start. It is an inspiring talk, and well worth listening to.
This sermon is the first of a five preach series by Rob Rufus on Grace. He is South African and goes to a church in Hong Kong called Christ Church International, however this series of preaches was from a session he did in Los Angeles!
It is a fantastic preach about living under grace vs living under the law. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series this week! He is a slightly quirky preacher (in a good way), full of passion, full of truth, and clearly anointed by God (as much as you can tell that listening on an iPod!).
Miss the preach on Sunday, or just want more spiritual nourishment?
This is part of a new weekly content for the site where I will recommend free sermons that can be downloaded via mp3, or via podcast. For those of you that have busy schedules this will let you cherry pick the best ones!

As I recently suggested the Holy Trinity Brompton sermons as a good place to look, I will pick one of theirs first.
