Morning Sermon - 25th January 2026 - The Law as Mirror, Bridge, and Map

Episode description

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

Preaching from 1 Timothy 1:3-11, the Reverend George Speers explores what it means to use God's law "lawfully" rather than as a tool for self-righteousness. Drawing on Calvin, Luther, Spurgeon, Thomas Watson and the Savoy Declaration, Rev Speers unpacks three lawful uses of the law: as a mirror that convicts us of sin, as a bridge that drives us to Christ, and as a map that guides the Christian life of gratitude and obedience. The sermon closes with a direct appeal to those outside of Christ to let the law expose their need of a Saviour.
