One man in the Christmas story teaches us how to wait on the leading of the Holy Spirit. This sermon will encourage you to live like Simeon who waited faithfully until God fulfilled His promise!

In the Old Testament, priests were consecrated for service in the temple with blood and anointing oil. When Jesus came, he became our permanent High Priest. But what does consecration look like for us today if we want to be set apart for God's purposes?

In Matthew's Gospel, we read several times about Joseph, the father of Jesus, having dreams where an angel delivered important messages from God. Why did God choose to speak to him in this way? If you are stressing about how or when you will hear from God, this message will encourage you to keep seeking and trusting him because God knows how to get your attention!

Angels are important messengers in the Nativity story. And across the Bible, we see their role in speaking God's Word, in protecting, providing and offering worship. This sermon will encourage you to consider how these celestial beings are heaven sent, even for us today!

As the people of God wondered if God was ever going to break in and rescue them, prophecies throughout the Bible show us that the Christmas story is not the start of the story but the pinnacle of God's plans, prepared for centuries. Sam shares with us the power of those prophecies.

We don't often talk about judgement but today, Chris shares how the Bible's message about the end of times is a message of hope, possibility and salvation, with a Saviour who holds back judgment for as long as possible.

Our world says our identity is rooted in our sexual identity. Stephen shares a better story of identities rooted in Jesus and the place of sex as wonderful within God's perfect order.

The Bible is full of stories of God breaking out in power. This sermon will stir you to trust God for your life today! He can move supernaturally to bring healing, provision and freedom.

This sermon will grab you! Sarah encourages you to not lose heart if you are in the midst of suffering. You'll be taught to have a hopeful posture, speak out honest prayers and turn to helpful people.

If you dive into reading the first five books of the Bible, you are introduced to the Law of Moses. Some if it is inspiring but a lot seems strange or even offensive! So, if you are a follower of Jesus, do Old Testament laws still apply?

This sermon will give you confidence in God who created the universe and created you for a purpose! It also explores the Genesis account of creation in light of modern day science, enabling you to see the big picture and why the two are convincingly compatible.

The Bible is the best selling book of all time but there are some tough subjects to digest! So how do you make sense of these? Theologian, author and presenter, Dr Andrew Ollerton, helps bring clarity and challenges us to trust that God's message really is good!

How can you meet with God and hear His voice? This message will encourage you to understand the journey that begins with Praise, continues into Worship and finishes with Encounter.

Worship is an expression of the heart, but why does it also involve your body, and especially your voice? This sermon will make you smile, but it will also challenge you to see the significance of engaging your whole self in honouring God.

What does it really mean to worship in spirit and truth? After all, that's what Jesus said the Father was looking for. This sermon will stir you to surrender more fully to God and to experience the joy of true spiritual worship.

Worship happens each Sunday in church and makes you feel good, right? Actually it is so much more - worship is for God alone! This sermon will challenge you to see worship in a different light and stir you to love God even more.

We often feel choked and crushed by the struggles and battles of life. It is like an ivy crushing the life out of a tree. Self-control is the fruit of the Spirit that cuts off what is feeding our struggles. This sermon powerfully gives clarity on how we can learn to exercise self-control and live a more fruitful life.

People often push to get their own way but God wants you to live a different way, showing humility, compassion and strength under control. This is what the Bible calls gentleness and it is a fruit of the Spirit that you can develop! This sermon will encourage, challenge and make you smile!

Faithfulness could be described as a ‘long life' fruit of the Spirit! You don't see it instantly in someone's life, but over time you come to admire their ability to be so loyal and steady. So how can you grow in faithfulness? This sermon will inspire you by learning from the lives of Ruth, Jonathan and Jesus who all remained so faithful.

When you read about fruits of the Spirit, virtues like joy and peace seem obvious and attractive. But what about goodness?! Perhaps we have overused the word and lost some of its meaning. Yet the bible tells us that God is good and all that He created is good. Not only that, but you are to grow in goodness! This message will fill your heart with hope as you hear stories of God's goodness and reflect on God's intention to have his goodness follow you all the days of your life!

In a world where selfishness and unkindness abounds, how do we as followers of Jesus live with humility and compassion for those around us? In this message David shares about how kindness can transform our relationships for the better. 

In a world of instant gratification, we tend to want everything, now. However, God's way is often a slow way and he calls us to a walk that is deeper and more meaningful. In this message Siân shares how to navigate life when God calls us to be patient.

How do you find peace in the midst of a storm? So often, we get stuck in anxiety but that doesn't help! This sermon will deeply encourage you with tools for finding and staying in the peace of God!

Is there more to experiencing the fruit of joy in our lives than just trying to stay happy? In this fun and engaging message, you will be stirred to choose the joy of the Lord, even before you feel it!

Everyone in the world has the capacity to love but so often we resort to selfish behaviour. Based on the story of Jesus displaying love for his friends, Lazarus, Martha and Mary, this sermon will challenge you to consider how to really surrender to the work of the Holy Spirit so that the fruit you produce is affectionate, compassionate and sacrificial love.

We often have vague ideas of spending eternity in heaven, but what will it really be like? And how can we better prepare for that time? This sermon will stir you with hope and challenge you to live in light of that Day approaching!

How do we encourage a healthy culture of honour towards Christian leaders, especially in the midst of previous disappointments? This sermon will challenge you to hear God's heart from Scripture and to recognise what leaders are expected to carry as part of their high calling.

Have we reduced the fifth commandment down to an instruction for kids to listen to theirs parents and behave? We are all children, and this sermon will challenge you to honour your parents. And for parents, you'll be stirred to develop a relationship with your children that displays mutual honour!

How do you show honour to others in a culture where people are quick to accuse and shame? Jesus washed the feet of his disciples as an example of how they should honour each other. This sermon will inspire you to live out this radical example!

Where self is on the throne, you'll find a culture of criticism. Where someone else is on the throne of your life, you'll find idolisation or manipulation. This sermon will show you how to put Jesus on the throne of your life - that is Kingdom Honour!

Are you someone who shares your faith with your family and friends or are you often fearful and anxious? In this message, Siân and Adebola share from Acts 21 and their personal experience of how to be available to God and see him move in the lives of those closest to you.
