Sermons from Grace Church, Bristol

The Deceitfulness of Sin | Romans 7:7-13

24/05/26 | Matt Chapman Sin rarely introduces itself honestly. It promises freedom, comfort, and life — but Paul shows us that sin is deceitful, predatory, and deadly. In Romans 7:7–13, we see how God’s good law exposes our sin, how sin seizes every opportunity, and why only Jesus can give us life.

Ordinary Faithfulness, Eternal Fruit | 1 Corinthians 15:58

17/05/26 | Matt Chapman What kind of life is worth giving ourselves to? In 1 Corinthians 15:58, Paul shows us that because Christ is risen, our labour in the Lord is not in vain, steadfastness matters more than impressiveness, and ordinary faithfulness bears eternal fruit.

Released to Belong | Romans 7:1-6

10/05/26 | Ezra Joy What does it mean to be released from the law? In this passage, we see that believers have died to the law through Christ and now belong to him, serving God in the new way of the Spirit.

Rethinking Freedom | Romans 6:15-23

03/05/26 | Matt Chapman What if true freedom isn’t the ability to do whatever we want? This passage challenges the idea that grace gives us freedom to go on sinning, and shows instead that real freedom is being set free from sin’s rule to live for God.

Dominion of Grace | Romans 6:12-14

26/04/26 | Peter Bowley What does it look like to live as those who are no longer ruled by sin? This sermon helps us see how grace empowers real change, calling us to resist sin’s rule and offer our lives to God.
