Sermons by Ian Jackson (Page 2)
The House of Achan and the Enemies of God
PART 1 – Ian Jackson preaches on the home of Achan from Joshua Chs 6-7. What Achan did, and what he brought into his home, negatively affected him, his children and the whole assembly of God’s people. The lesson? Home life impacts all of life – work, family, and assembly. What is needed today is a restoration of sanctified homes where God is honoured. Mr Jackson asks “Is it time your home changed?” (Preached: 16th February 2017)

Gospel Tent ’14: Are you Christ’s (26 mins)
GOSPEL TENT 2014 – Ian Jackson preaches on “Those who are Christ’s”. He explains that a person who knows they deserve to be in hell is unlikely to be there; but a person who thinks they deserve to be in heaven will never be there. (Message preached 12th July 2014)

Failure Doesn’t Need to be Final
Easter Conference 2014 – Ian Jackson delivers a stirring and sobering warning about the danger of moral failure in the life of a believer. If David can fall (1 Kings 15:1-5), as he did “in the matter of Uriah the Hittite”, none of us can afford to be complacent. Ian also gives a helpful explanation of Christ’s work as “the advocate” who works for the restoration of erring believers. (Preached: 21st April 2014)
