Best of Sydney Anglican Network Audio Sermons

The Sydney Diocese of the Anglican Church is a Christian denomination that bases its beliefs and practices firmly on the Bible. You can investigate what the Bible teaches about God, His Son Jesus and our need for a relationship with him by visiting Christianity.net.au. Important to our life here in Sydney is our mission:

“To glorify God by proclaiming our saviour the Lord Jesus Christ in prayerful dependence on the Holy Spirit, so that everyone will hear his call to repent, trust and serve Christ in love, and be established in the fellowship of his disciples while they await his return.”

Our aim is to see ten per cent of the people of Sydney in Bible-based churches in 10 years. You can learn more about our mission by clicking here. We seek your prayers as we strive to serve God and make him known. - Dr Peter Jensen, Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of NSW.

Best of 'The Proclamation Trust' MP3 Sermons

In the summer of 1981, 40 men engaged in a preaching ministry gathered at a conference centre (Fairmile Court) in Surrey for a conference on 'expository preaching'. Dick Lucas, then Rector of St Helen's, Bishopsgate and Jonathan Fletcher his curate (now minister of Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon) held this conference with the aim of examining and learning what particular Bible texts actually say. Residential conferences continued informally and proved extremely popular, and in 1984 it was decided to hold a larger non-residential conference, which became known as the Evangelical Ministry Assembly (EMA). From small beginnings the EMA now attracts almost 1000 delegates involved in ministry, and speakers from all over the world have included Don Carson, John Chapman, Os Guiness, Jim Packer, John Stott, Phillip Jensen, Sinclair Ferguson and Tim Keller. In May 1986 The Proclamation Trust was formed officially, in gratitude to God for the 25 years which Dick Lucas had spent teaching the Bible from the St Helen's pulpit. Since 1986, The Proclamation Trust has existed to encourage ministry that seeks above all to teach the Bible as God's Word relevant for today.

Here are the sermons of various speakers who spoke at 'The Proclamation Trust' conferences:

The Hendrick's Family In Haiti

Aaron and Heather Hendrick and their children have moved to Haiti less than 1 month ago. They are one of our families from New Life Baptist Church that were called and went to be missionaries over this last year. They have been to Haiti before on short-term missions with our parent and sister churches. In the last month, they have been blogging their everyday life, sharing with their blog audience their culture shock about transitioning from living like Americans to living like Americans living in Haiti. They share the highs and lows in loving God and loving their new neighbors and doing dishes.

Here are the posts from Aaron Hendrick, Mosaic Village blog.

Best of Bethinking.org MP3 Sermons

Bethinking.org aims to bring together the best possible resources for thinking about and communicating the Christian faith. Its goal is to help to prepare all Christians to provide an answer to those who deny the truth of Christianity. Whether that’s answering the attacks of Richard Dawkins, discussing our faith with a Muslim colleague or chatting about the latest episode of Doctor Who with a neighbour, bethinking.org aims to provide you with talks and articles that stimulate you to think about your faith and its relation to the world and culture around us, and then to show how Christianity is not only true, but provides the answers to life’s biggest questions.

Here are the best of Bethinking.org sermons that I have come across:

Best of Cambridge Inter-Collegiate Christian Union (CICCU) Audio Sermons

We are excited about CICCU because it is all about the gospel. If you haven't come across the term 'gospel' before, then it's simply the good news of what God has done for us in his Son, Jesus Christ. We are convinced that God is at work in the world today and his plan is for people from every nation to come to hear the gospel and know the Lord Jesus. What's more, as a bunch of Christians from different churches we believe that God has placed us here in Cambridge University with a part to play in that big plan. We have found life in Jesus and are passionate about others finding life in Him also, but we also know that it can be hard standing for Jesus on our own and so that's why we've come together. We see ourselves as a mission team – and those 2 words are the key to what we're about. CICCU is just a bunch of Christian students who have come together for a mission – to get the good news of Jesus Christ out to Cambridge University. We are Christians from a wide range of churches and countries, who unite together around the gospel, for the purpose of sharing the gospel with fellow-students. We believe unity has to be unity in the gospel because it was through the gospel that we became Christians in the first place.
