Gold Hill Sermon Audio

Safety in Numbers or Security in The Almighty? Security relationally. Security financially

Emma Worrell from Open Doors shares the World Watch List 2024.

God calls us to be secure in Him and secure in our Identity found in Him. Gideon was hiding for safety. God calls him to be secure in who HE says he is.

As we start 2024, we celebrate 250 years of Gold Hill Baptist Church. Stephen shares the verse of the year  - Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever.

Gathered round the crib at Christmas the people worship Jesus. Gathered around the cross, people jeered. This message explores the Crib and Cross and uses the illustration of the horror of the Stone Table in Narnia to help unpack the gore and glory of the Cross of Jesus.

God is depicted as a lion both in the Bible and in the Chronicles of Narnia. Carolyn unpacks some of this from various passages including the book of Hosea

Interview with Claudette about answering questions people may have

Jesus makes it clear in Matt 25 that we are to be ready for his coming. In Matthew 28 he makes it clear that each of us are to make disciples. Are we ready? Do we know the recipe for making a disciple?

I am not ashamed of the gospel.  Reflecting on what discipleship looks like in a global context.

You and I are the clay – will we allow Him to have His way in our life?

Repentance – why is it so important?  What it is and what it isn't.

In John 14:12 Jesus says to His disciples that we will do the same things that He has been doing and even greater things because we have the Holy Spirit. Did He really mean that? YES! So why don't we see this? Stephen explores these questions and leads us in a time of repentance and inviting God's Holy Spirit to enable us to be like Jesus described.

Stephen calls us to pause in the presence of God (Selah). To listen to Him and allow Him to reset our lives and church.

One of our church family, Raj, shares from God's Word and from his life story how we are to learn to have implicit trust in God.

Sharing something of the Good News of Jesus with people we meet

Food that should be every Christian's staple diet

Being strong in the grace of Jesus Christ

Living fully for God, confident in the gospel and reliant on the Holy Spirit

In this last message of the series we conclude with looking at the beginning and end of Chapter 4 of Philippians (4:1-9). Joy, peace, and grace are offered. Will we accept?

What does it look like to have unhindered contentment like Paul describes in Philippians 4:10-23? Carolyn shared her story and how God has helped her learn contentment in Him regardless of the situation she has been facing.

Philippians 2:19-30 contains Paul sharing how he hasn't been journeying alone. He has pressed on with friends (that he honours). 3:1-21 then contains a call to press on in God's grace rather than have confidence in our religiosity. Stephen encourages us to allow the Gospel to be impressed onto us…allowing it to grip us afresh to enable us to press on towards the goal in Jesus.

Philippians 1:27 calls us to live our lives in response to the Gospel. Mickey Walker takes us through the next passage (Philippians 2:1-18) and reminds us to fix our eyes on Jesus. If we are to live for him and be like him, we need to focus on him.

Paul calls the church to live lives that are reactions to and reveals of the Good News of Jesus Christ. How do we do that in a consistent manner?

Phil explores the concept of friendship, which has a huge impact on our mental health, well-being and happiness. Friendship should be sacrificial, intentional and invitational.

In this second message of the Unhindered series, Paul says how his chains are not hindering the Gospel or his worship of God. How can we have unhindered devotion to Jesus? It is by intentionally and prayerfully seeking to be captivated by Christ rather than captive to the things that hold us back.

There are so many things that stop us from living fully and freely for Jesus and in life. During this series and this message we explore some lessons from the letter to the Philippian Church and see that God wants to continue working in us, bringing His purposes, plans, freedom and fulness to all spheres of our lives. He will continue until completion. We are invited to join him in this.

On Pentecost Sunday, Dave shares how the Holy Spirit empowers us so that everyone can hear about Jesus in the way their heart needs to hear it, and gives us God's design spark to ignite us for a life lived on fire for Jesus!

Stephen shares from Matthew 13:31-34 on the mandate to multiply, the challenge of multiplication and Jesus' model and method of multiplying.

James Waddell from Compassion UK speaks on generosity

Gill Stott shares from Luke 4 how the Kingdom of Heaven is centred on bringing restoration.

Kingdom of holiness: As Jesus teaches his disciples he raises the bar in terms of holiness and discipleship and although the bar is set high, he doesn't bar us.

Kingdom of Blessing: King Jesus sets out a kingdom of blessing but blessing in this kingdom is rather different from what we might assume.

Kingdom Priorities: King Jesus calls us to be a kingdom of worshippers and not worriers. To focus on Him and to trust Our Father in Heaven.

Palm Sunday Jesus enters Jerusalem like a king, crowds celebrating and with lots of commotion. Yet, what kind of king is Jesus? Maybe not the kind that the people are expecting. Rev Sue Whalley brings today's message through British Sign Language and it is interpreted by Samuel Adedeji.

In Matthew's resurrection account there is an instruction to not be afraid, an invite to come and see, and then an instruction to go and tell. The good news of the resurrection of Jesus points towards a Kingdom of Life that can be experienced and is based on evidence. The King is alive and is king of a kingdom that is full of life!

James explores Philippians 3:12-21.  Reminding us that our goal is to complete the race, focus on Jesus, be an example to others, care for the lost and that our home is Heaven.
