Beacon Church

This sermon was delivered by Daniel Featherstone, who explores the true meaning of baptism for the believer, using the story of the adulterous woman. The story is a powerful example of what Christ has done for the family of believers: in Him, life is made new, sins are forgiven, and we are given the freedom to live without returning to sin. In the same way, baptism is a public declaration of this transformation—a vow made to God, where the believer commits to walk in His ways and live in the freedom Christ has made possible.

DISCLAIMER: This is a sensitive topic. In this sermon, Nick Wood courageously explores what the book of Proverbs teaches about relationships and sex. With honesty and biblical insight, he addresses this important yet often difficult topic, reminding us that sex is a good gift from God—meant to be honoured and not misused. Nick highlights the spiritual, emotional, and physical consequences that can arise when this gift is distorted or taken outside of God's design. This message calls believers to approach sex with integrity, respecting both themselves and others in the light of God's wisdom.

This sermon, given by Jonathan Rudd, explores how we seek wisdom from within the family of believers. As the Church, we are blessed with spiritual siblings and spiritual parents who support us as we walk in the way of the Lord. However, accessing this wisdom requires humility, effort, and vulnerability. Though this may feel uncomfortable at first, it creates space for us to grow in relationship—not only with our Father in heaven, but also with one another—so that we can seek wisdom for every situation through those He has placed in our lives.

This sermon, delivered by Gemma Bradshaw, highlights the vital importance of seeking wisdom before prosperity. She emphasises that, although money cannot buy wisdom, it is essential for living a Christ-centred life. Drawing from the book of Proverbs, Gemma encourages us to pursue wisdom above all else, trusting that it will guide us in every aspect of our daily walk with God.

In this powerful message, Elisha DaCosta unpacks how believers are called to live out the wisdom found in the Book of Proverbs. He emphasises the importance of seeking guidance from God, our Father, who speaks to us in every season—often in unexpected ways. Through Proverbs, we're reminded that God lovingly directs His children towards what is right, wise, and good. This message is an encouraging call to listen, trust, and live out godly wisdom in our daily lives.

This sermon was given by Frank Ocampo, who beautifully introduces our church to the summer series on Proverbs. Frank reminds us that we must seek wisdom and understanding from God. He explains that in today's society, we often forget to seek God first. Seeking God shouldn't be a second thought—it should be our primary focus and action.

This sermon, delivered by Matthew DaCosta, explores the connection between nature and our spiritual journey with God, based on the scripture reading from Galatians 6:1–18. Matthew emphasises that while God's will for us is perfect, we ultimately reap what we sow—whether from our flesh or through the work of the Holy Spirit when we allow Him to transform our lives.

This sermon was delivered by Matthew DaCosta, who spoke about the importance of making intentional decisions to walk in the Holy Spirit so that the desires of the flesh can be overcome. Although this is not easy, it is strongly encouraged by the Apostle Paul. As we walk in the Spirit, He produces fruit in us that empowers believers to live in true freedom—freedom found in Christ.

In this sermon, Phil Hopgood explores how the Christian walk can sometimes drift into legalism, even in doing good things like reading the Bible, praying, or giving. He reminds us that these are gifts from God—meant to be enjoyed in the freedom won for us through Christ's death and resurrection—as we journey toward glory.

This sermon was given by Elisha DaCosta. Elisha breaks down the importance of believers knowing that they are free and no longer bound by the Law. As an heir of the Kingdom of God, this freedom means that God will fulfil His promises to us, no matter how long the wait or the difficulty of the situation.

This sermon, delivered by Jonathan Rudd, is based on Galatians 4:1–20. Jonathan explores what it means to be a mature son or daughter in the Kingdom of God. He emphasizes that we no longer need to strive through legalism, but can live in the freedom of knowing we are children of God—joint heirs with Christ. As we grow in our relationship with God, we begin to see Him as our loving Father rather than merely a Master.

This week's sermon is brought to you by Nick Wood. Nick shares a powerful message about the importance of being part of the Church family. He reminds us that within God's family, everyone has a place, even those who feel misplaced or overlooked.We are not called to strive to fulfil the Law on our own. Instead, through Christ, the dividing walls have been torn down. Because of Him, we are united, not only to God but also to one another in a deep and unique way. The Church becomes a true home, a place of belonging and grace.

We are continuing our sermon series on the Book of Galatians. This sermon is given to us by Dan Featherstone. In this message, Dan explores why Paul challenges the Galatians about their walk with Christ. He reminds us that faith, holiness, and righteousness come through belief—not by following the Law.

This week, we took a break from Galatians and were blessed by a sermon from Phil Hopgood on Haggai 1. This message reminds us that God calls us back to our purpose, even though the process may involve suffering. Whether that suffering is caused by God, the enemy, or ourselves, it is God who ultimately calls us back to Him—and this should stir others to do the same.

This sermon was given to us by Matthew DaCosta, who speaks on Galatians 2:1-10, identifying what it truly means to live a gospel centred life, and how we as believers can fall in the spaces of legalism and liberalism.

This sermon was given to us by Lally Wood, who delves into the importance in discerning the truth of the Gospel from other Christian sources, that may either aid or hinder our walk.

This sermon was given to us by Dan Featherstone, which speaks about the Gospel being the truth and how Christians are to stand in this truth.
