JOHN CHAPMAN // 1930-2012

Well-known and much loved Australian gospel preacher, John Chapman, died last night. It has been encouraging to see the overwhelming number of tributes on Facebook in the last 24 hours. I have been personally impacted by his preaching and his training of preachers. Here is a recent interview he did with Richard Chin:

Many have shared their own reflections on the impact that Chappo has had on them. Here are a few: David McDonald; Sydney Anglicans; Mark Thompson; Nathan Campbell (St Eutychus); Sandy Grant (Matthias Media); David Ould and Eternity Newspaper.

Is Grace Alone still worth fighting for?

Happy Reformation Day! This past weekend was ‘Reformation Sunday’ and in God’s providence it coincided with Ephesians 2 in our current sermon series at St Faith’s Narrabeen. In my sermon I gave a very brief overview of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation with particular reference to the doctrine of GRACE ALONE. Grace Alone was important in the 15th Century. Is it still worth fighting for today? That’s the question I raised. Have a listen to my sermon below to see what I concluded from Ephesians 2.

Here is the Reformation Sunday Ephesians 2 sermon outline:

GRACE ALONE
WHY IS GRACE ALONE STILL WORTH FIGHTING FOR?
1) THE NEED FOR GRACE
(What we once were… Ephesians 2:1-3 & Ephesians 2:11-12)
2) THE WORK OF GRACE
(What Christ has done… Ephesians 2:4-9 & Ephesians 2:13-18
3) THE RESULT OF GRACE
(What we have become… Ephesians 2:10 & Ephesians 2:19-22)
EMBRACE GRACE
