The John Knox Presbyterian Church Podcast"More Than Enough"Rev. Jimmy McPherson - Luke 12:13–21; 2 Corinthians 9:6–15
In a culture that equates success with accumulation, this sermon names avarice for what it is: not just a love of money, but a way of life that hollows us out. Drawing on Jesus’ parable of the rich fool and Paul’s vision of joyful generosity, More Than Enough explores how greed trains our fears, tightens our grip, and reshapes our hearts. Yet the gospel does not leave us there. In Christ, grace interrupts our anxious striving, gratitude loosens our hold, and generosity becomes the pathway to life that is truly alive—li...
2026-02-0118 minThe John Knox Presbyterian Church Podcast"Wake Up”Rev. Jimmy McPherson - Matthew 25:14–30; Romans 12:9–13
“Wake Up” reframes sloth not as simple laziness but as acedia — a quiet spiritual indifference that scatters our attention and tempts us to disengage from God, others, and our own vocation. Through Jesus’ parable of the talents, it exposes the danger of burying what has been entrusted to us out of fear, distraction, or resignation. Paul’s exhortation in Romans 12 then offers a vivid alternative: a life marked by genuine love, zeal, generosity, and hope. This message calls listeners to live awake and rooted — to choose participation over paralysis and to step into the jo...
2026-01-2518 minThe John Knox Presbyterian Church Podcast"Breaking the Cycle"Rev. Jimmy McPherson - Matthew 5:21–26; Ephesians 4:25–32
“Breaking the Cycle” names anger as an ancient, powerful force that quietly corrodes relationships long before it erupts into visible harm. Drawing on Jesus’ words in Matthew 5 and Paul’s counsel in Ephesians 4, it explores how anger, when nursed and justified, fractures community, distorts worship, and disconnects us from one another. Yet Scripture does not simply condemn anger — it offers a way through it: reconciliation, forgiveness, and grace rooted in what God has already done for us in Christ. This message invites listeners to lay down the rule of wrath and discover the fr...
2026-01-1819 minThe John Knox Presbyterian Church Podcast"The Green-Eyed Lie"Rev. Jimmy McPherson - Genesis 4:1–9; Philippians 4:10–13
“The Green-Eyed Lie” names envy as more than harmless comparison — it is a destructive force willing to harm both others and ourselves, vividly illustrated in the story of Cain and Abel. Drawing on voices from Scripture and contemporary reflection, we learn how envy thrives on comparison, scarcity, and wounded self-worth, quietly corroding love and community. Turning to Paul’s words in Philippians, the sermon lifts up contentment not as indifference but as a grace-rooted freedom grounded in dependence on Christ. Listeners are invited to adopt a different gaze — one shaped by God’s generous...
2026-01-1119 minThe John Knox Presbyterian Church Podcast"The Empty Throne"Rev. Jimmy McPherson - Luke 18:9–14; Philippians 2:5–11
“The Empty Throne” names pride as the quiet, corrosive force that elevates the self, erodes community, and subtly pushes God aside. Through Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and Paul’s hymn to Christ’s self-emptying love in Philippians 2, we see a contrast between self-justification with humility rooted in grace. Pride is not merely confidence but a posture of grasping and comparison, while humility is truth-telling, trust, and release. Listeners are invited to leave the throne empty — making room for God’s mercy and discovering a more human, grace-shaped way o...
