Open Arms Church is one church in two locations: Kildare & Dublin, Ireland. We hope that these sermons encourage and inspire you and bring you closer to Jesus.
In this message, Ps. Brian unpacks Acts 2 and shows why Pentecost is not just a historical moment, but a power we can trust today. Rooted in the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, Pentecost reveals how the exalted Christ pours out His Spirit and remains actively present in the world. From the cross that removes guilt, to the resurrection that defeats death, to the ascension that establishes Christ's lordship, Pentecost brings God home to His people. It marks the birth of the Church and the moment mission moves from human resolve to divine power. In a world filled with competing voices and fragile authority, this message reveals an authority we can trust and a transforming power even the sceptic can see.
In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Acts 1–2 and the promise of the Holy Spirit poured out at Pentecost. From the sound of rushing wind to tongues of fire, we see how ordinary believers were filled, empowered, and set ablaze for God's purposes. This sermon explores what it means to be baptised with the Holy Spirit and fire, refined, ignited, and equipped to shine. With a clear call to Repent, Release, and Receive, we are invited to experience the transforming power of God and live passionately for His Kingdom.
This message launches the new series The Church – From Revival to Revolution, exploring the birth of the Church and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Acts 1–2, we see how Jesus prepared His disciples to move from waiting to witnessing, from revival to revolution, through the baptism and power of the Holy Spirit. This sermon unpacks God's redemptive timeline, the promise of the Spirit, and the call for believers to live empowered lives, equipped, emboldened, and sent to impact their world for the Kingdom of God. A foundational message on the Kingdom of God, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and the power we receive to be Christ's witnesses everywhere.
In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Jesus' words to the church in Laodicea, challenging us to confront lukewarm faith and spiritual complacency. Drawing from Revelation 3:14–21, this sermon calls the Church to repent, run after God with renewed passion, recognise His voice, and open the door to deeper fellowship with Him. A stirring reminder that we are called to live refined, restored, and fully on fire for God.
In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explore what it truly means to honour God by giving Him our first and best. Drawing from Genesis 4, Proverbs 3, and Matthew 6, this teaching reveals that generosity is not just about what we give, but the context of our heart and the priority we place on God in our lives. Through the story of Cain and Abel, we see that giving God our first requires faith, reflects obedience, and positions us for His favour and direction. This message ultimately points us to the greatest example of generosity, God giving His first for us through Jesus Christ.
In this message, Ps. Sean Booth explores the heart of generosity and how it brings breakthrough by enlarging our world. Drawing from Proverbs 11:24–25 and 2 Corinthians 9:6, he shows that generosity is not limited to finances, but is a posture of spirit, speech, and action, expressed through our time, talents, resources, and words. This short message encourages us to sow generously, bless others, and discover the abundance that flows from living with a generous heart.
In this message, Pastor Brian Somerville explores the active nature of God's love revealed in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture, he shows how divine love is not passive or abstract, but purposeful and costly—love that steps down from heaven, steps into our world, and ultimately steps up in victory.
Hope can feel fragile when prayers go unanswered and waiting feels endless. In this Advent message on Hope, Ps. Josh Hall explores Luke 1 through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth. Learn how biblical hope is formed by staying in the pain, praying through disappointment, and ultimately seeing Jesus. Discover how God works in the waiting and why hope is reborn when we trust His promises.
What does it really mean to follow Jesus with no reservations? In this message, Ps. Larry Brey explores powerful moments from the Gospels where Jesus calls people to radical obedience, deep faith, and wholehearted commitment. From miraculous healing to costly discipleship, this teaching challenges us to go all in with Jesus, trusting His word, surrendering comfort, and following Him wherever He leads.
In this message from The Journey of Jesus series, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 28:1–10 to show that Jesus Himself is our joy. Our joy isn't anchored in circumstance but in Christ, the One who redeems our past, strengthens us in the present, and calls us forward into His purpose. Through Philippians 3 and 4, we're reminded to press on, pursue His call, and share the joy of Jesus with others.
In this message, Ps. Sean Booth unpacks Matthew 27:45–54 and the power of the cross, where darkness fell, the veil tore, and Jesus declared the saving work finished. At the cross, sin is judged, freedom is won, and grace, healing, and hope are released. Through Christ's sacrifice we are forgiven, restored, and invited to live in the fullness of God's presence.
In this message from Matthew 27, Ps. Brian Somerville shows how the journey of Jesus toward the cross becomes our journey toward healing. Where Peter's faith collapses and hope seems lost, Joseph of Arimathea steps out of secrecy and into courageous faith. Scripture reveals a pattern: healing begins not when we run from pain, but when we bring it honestly before God. Discover how turning toward your wounds, rather than away from them, becomes the very path where restoration, hope, and renewed faith are found.
In this message from Matthew 26:17–30, Pastor Brian Somerville shows how Jesus becomes our New Passover, the perfect Lamb who brings true freedom, not from Egypt, but from sin. Through His blood, judgement passes over us, redemption is secured, and we are invited into a new covenant of grace. Discover what it means to live as God's redeemed people: forgiven, strengthened for the journey, and confident in the hope of His promise.
In this message from Matthew 24:1–14, Ps. Sean explores how Jesus revealed the signs of the end times and the reality of His coming. Where nations rise against nations, false prophets deceive, and love grows cold, Jesus calls us to remain vigilant, steadfast in faith, and focused on eternity. Discover how living with an eternal perspective means staying ready for His return, proclaiming the Gospel to all nations, and living holy, Godly lives in anticipation of the glorious appearing of our Lord.
In this message, Pastor Sean shares a powerful word from Matthew 25 about what it truly means to steward the significance God has placed within you. Part of our Journey to Jesus series through the Gospel of Matthew, this message challenges us to see our gifts, opportunities, and influence not as our own but as something entrusted to us by God for His purpose and glory.
In this message from Matthew 22, Ps. Alan unpacks the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, where Jesus reveals the heart of God's invitation to His kingdom. While many are invited, few are chosen, not because the invitation is limited, but because the response is lacking. In a world content with surface religion and self-made righteousness, Jesus calls us to be clothed in what only He can provide. Discover how true discipleship means accepting God's invitation, receiving His righteousness, and living ready for the King's celebration.
In this message from Matthew 23:1-12, Ps. Brian Somerville explores how Jesus redefined leadership through love, humility, and service. While the Pharisees sought position, praise, and public recognition, Jesus modelled a kingdom way, one that leads through surrender, not status. Where religion exalted pride, Jesus elevated people; where leaders demanded honour, He chose to serve. Discover how true leadership flows from love, valuing dignity over dominance, compassion over control, and destiny over the desire for approval. Learn what it means to lead from love, following the One who humbled Himself to lift others higher.
In this message from Matthew 21:12–22, we explore how Jesus confronted nominal religion and revealed that radical faith is the new normal in His kingdom. Where the temple had traded God's presence for profit, the priests restrained praise, and Israel rejected its purpose, Jesus calls us back to authentic worship, surrendered praise, and true kingdom purpose. Discover how radical faith means choosing the Person over the place, praise over preferences, and purpose over personal comfort.
This week, pastor Brian shares a powerful message from Matthew 20:29–34. In this passage, the blind men refuse to let the crowd silence them and their persistence brings them face to face with Jesus. Pastor Brian reminds us that the crowds follow Jesus, not the other way around. In the same way, we must not let external voices of opinion or internal voices of fear and anxiety control us. Instead, we fix our focus on Jesus.
Ps. Sean Booth unpacks why God values obedience more than sacrifice. Through the story of the wealthy young man and Samuel's words, we're reminded that true discipleship isn't about good works, but full surrender to Christ. Obedience may cost us, but it leads to freedom and eternal life.
Ps. Sean dives into Matthew 18 to remind us that Jesus sees each of us as the one that matters. Just like a shepherd leaving the 99 to find the one wandering sheep, God pursues us personally, tenderly, and relentlessly. This message will encourage you to see yourself through God's eyes, embrace His pursuit, and understand the value He places on every lost soul.
Have you ever thought of asking yourself the question, What is the purpose of the church? Lead Pastor, Sean Booth, takes a step back and asks these 3 questions; 1. What Is The Purpose Of The Local Church? 2. Why Is There A Need For The Local Church? 3. Why Become Part of The Local Church? If you interested in what the bible has to say about these 3 questions, come and find out by hearing a great message from Ps.Sean Booth.
The bible tells us in 2nd Peter chapter 1, that God has already given us all we need. As Christians, many of us know about this verse, but we don't know this verse. In a world that teaches us to get more and tells us we don't have enough, does this promise from God still stand? Give this sermon a listen to find out.
Life is full of uncertainty, fear, and moments that can shake us to the core. But in John 14, Jesus reminds us: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” In this message, we'll discover how to find peace that goes beyond circumstance and a hope that cannot be shaken, because our confidence is in Christ alone.
They say it's not what you know, but who you know. In this week's message, Ps. Brian unpacks the power of relationships, divine connections, and how knowing the right Person, Jesus, can change everything."
Pastor Alan Fay unpacks a moment in Acts where Paul, on trial for his faith, is accused of being “out of his mind.” Alan challenges listeners with a bold truth: to truly believe and live out the gospel may look crazy to the world but it's even crazier not to. Discover why following Jesus requires a radical shift in thinking and why the so-called “foolishness” of the gospel is actually the wisest choice you can make.
In this message from Isaiah 43, Ps. Brian Somerville speaks to the moments when staying stuck is no longer an option. God is doing a new thing, but to see it, you have to let go of what was. It's not just about moving forward; it's about trusting that what's ahead is greater than what's behind. It's time to move on.
In this message by Matthew Craig, we dive into the story of Gideon and the Midianites, a powerful reminder that victory doesn't come from our strength, but God's. When the odds are stacked against you, God often shows up in unexpected ways to prove His power. Your weakness might just be the setup for His glory.
In this timely message, Ps. Brian Somerville unpacks a pivotal moment from the Gospel of Matthew, what he calls a Messiah Moment. It's the kind of moment that shifts everything, where revelation meets response.
In this stirring message, Ps. Brian Somerville. challenges the difference between religion and relationship. Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew, we confront the traditions that often get in the way of true transformation. It's not about performance, it's about presence. Sometimes, losing your religion is exactly what it takes to find Jesus.
In this powerful message from Matthew 14, Ps. Sean Booth explores a question many overlook: How does Peter get back onto the boat? Through Peter's story, we discover a deeper truth: failure doesn't disqualify you from walking again. Whether you've stumbled, sunk, or strayed, God still calls you to rise. This is your moment. This is your time to walk again.
In this episode, Ps. Patrick delves into chapter 14 in the book of Matthew and focuses on Peter and Jesus walking on water.
Planted people produce fruit. Psalm 92:13 "Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish." The kingdom of God will nourish your soul, but you need to be planted and rooted.
We often prioritise our schedule(what we think needs to be done rather than scheduling our priorities. Rest is a priority, and God desires you to experience rest. #openarms #churchonline #sermon #onlinechurch Stay Connected: Visit our website - https://openarms.ie/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/openarms.ie/ Instagram - https://instagram.com/openarms_church Donate/Give - https://openarms.ie/giving

Have you ever forgotten to remember? In this timely message, Pastor Sean Booth takes us into Joshua Chapter 4, where God commands the Israelites to set up stones of remembrance after crossing the Jordan River.
