Evening Sermon - 23rd November 2025 - Five Glories of the Incarnation the World Belittles

This evening's sermon is delivered by Rev. George Speers.

Preaching from Colossians 1:15-23 as Advent approaches, the Reverend George Speers looks past the sentimentality of modern Christmas to five great glories of Christ: that He shows us God, that He created and upholds all things, that He came to bear God's wrath, that He holds the keys of death, and that He will one day inherit and transform all creation. Drawing on voices from Calvin and Spurgeon to Piper, Keller and Kuyper, Rev Speers calls listeners not to settle for a superficial festive season but to fix their eyes on the true, world-changing wonder of the incarnation.
