My last three sermons at HTD in the morning. 1 Thes was mostly an Andrew Reid series but I snuck a few in as well:
The Preaching Pastor’s Encouragement – 1 Thes 2:17-3:10
Godly Ambitions – 1 Thes 5:9-12
Final Instructions Before the Final Day – 1 Thes 5:12-29 (recording is missing the introduction)
Sermons from Easter this year – greatest weekend of the year!
In the mornings this year at HTD we worked through Matthew 5-7. Here are my messages:
Being the Salt of the Earth – Matthew 5:13-20
I have a bunch of mp3 sermons on the HTD web site that I haven’t linked here.
Earlier in the year we worked through Galatians in the evening congregation. This was very challenging and good medicine for us as a church. The rebuke to righteousness as a form of rebellion comes through most strongly in Galatians.
Justification By Faith Not Works – Galatians 2:15-21
Abraham’s Blessings Through Jesus – Galatians 3:1-14
I’ve loved preaching this series on Messianic Psalms. Covered 2, 110, and 132. Others were doing 16 and 8. Would have liked to have covered Psalm 45 also. Jesus is all over the Psalms!
Finished preaching through the book of Acts. Great to get through the whole book in three ‘blocks’ over three years.
Just finished a series on Genesis 1-3. Glorious beautiful chapters for which my weak reflections hardly scratched the surface. Nevertheless I gave it an attempt.
Every church should come back to these foundational chapters every couple of years. A highlight of going to Bible college was working through these chapters very carefully in Hebrew with a great teacher guiding me.
What I also particularly enjoyed was seeing God as Trinity and the expected incarnation/exaltation of the Son of God in these chapters. Happy to have read Calvin as my main commentary (Wenham secondarily).

Here is my Christmas sermon on Herod the Great’s massacre of the Bethlehem children in Matthew 2:
Just finished a series on the book of Exodus. Only in 8 weeks. If I’d had 2-3 more weeks I would have done more from the second half of the book, especially more law, the party of chapter 24, and Moses glory request and covenant renewal in 33-34.
It was helpful having been to the MTS preaching conference last year with David Jackman on “preaching Exodus”. I referred to my notes from that conference several times (and stole many sermon titles from there).
It was only in the last week or so that someone showed me the new IVP Moore College lectures book on “Exploring Exodus”, edited by Rosner and Williamson. I read the final three essays and found them excellent. I’m sure the rest of the book is good quality.
Commentary wise I didn’t use many – I would often refer to Durham to help me with Hebrew but found the comments lacking theological insight. I should have bought Enns on Exodus, which I might do at Ridley tomorrow.
It is a wonderful book of Scripture – God is glorious, jealous, holy, consuming, on-the-front-foot, loving, and terrifying all in one. Salvation is clearly a work of sovereign grace from beginning to end.

This church series is called “On Being Human”. The title (not content) was inspired (stolen) from a series of AFES talks by Philip Jensen.
The idea was to lift up peoples estimate of what it means to be a human – as an image bearer, and the significance of God’s Son taking on our humanity forever.
The series is probably less about what it means to be a human (all applied preaching and Bible teaching is about this!) and more asking the question: “What is the worth of a human being?” or “Where does my worth come from?”.
I was inspired by this quote from Calvin:
“It is certain that man never achieves a clear knowledge of himself unless he has first looked upon God’s face, and then descends from contemplating him to scrutinize himself”
(Institutes I.I.2)
As I read this quote I think I failed to come close to achieving what I set out to do: help people see who they are by looking their maker and looking at Jesus Christ as the perfect human and by seeing we are God’s property by virtue of creation and salvation (especially). It was worth the attempt!
If I had more talks to add, I would add one on “The Future of Humanity”. And possibly one on the entry and effects of sin in the world.
You Are Made In The Image of God Wayne Schuller Cranbourne Anglican 1030 20051016.mp3

Your Body is A Temple of the Holy Spirit Wayne Schuller Cranbourne Anglican 830 20051030.mp3
The talks were produced under heavy time pressure, and preaching topical is not my main style of preaching, but it still worth putting them online for feedback. hint hint!
