We all answer to many different names. The name our parents gave us at birth. We might answer to wife, husband, son, daughter, teacher, nurse, coach or friend. But there is one name that is greater and more powerful than any other name. Listen as Joan tells us the name and the power that is in that wonderful name.
It’s easy to let Jesus be Lord on Sunday morning and quietly crown ourselves king the rest of the week – over our career, our comfort, our relationships, our plans. In this message, we look at what it really means to surrender to Jesus as King in EVERY area of life, not just the spiritual-sounding ones – and why surrender has to happen daily, not once. Using a simple acronym (K.I.N.G) and a memorable illustration, we ask the question: who’s really wearing the crown in your life today?
As we launch the Holiday Club Programme: A Tale of Two Kings – we use the giant K.E.Y to unlock the message of Psalms 24 to find out who these kings are
Looking at the story of (Simon) Peter stepping out of the boat in the context of the ‘student – teacher’ relationship with Jesus, and showing how Jesus is the best teacher, and he will continue to work with us, as he did with Peter as long as we keep coming back to him (even when we sink).
The feeding of the five thousand reveals Jesus as the compassionate and generous provider who meets both our physical and spiritual needs. Following the tragic death of John the Baptist, Jesus sought solitude, yet when He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion. His compassion was not merely an emotion but a response that led Him to heal the sick and feed the hungry. The miracle demonstrates that God is the ultimate provider. Just as God fed Israel with manna in the wilderness and multiplied bread through Elisha, Jesus miraculously feed thousands with five loaves and two fish. God provide
What is the Kingdom of Heaven really like? In Matthew 13, Jesus answers this question through a series of powerful parables. He teaches that God’s Kingdom often begins in the smallest and most ordinary ways, like a mustard seed or a pinch of yeast, yet it grows steadily until its influence reaches far beyond what we can imagine. He also reveals that the Kingdom is the greatest treasure anyone can ever possess—so valuable that it is worth sacrificing everything else to gain it. Finally, Jesus reminds us that history is moving towards a day of final fulfilment, when the King will return, justice
Genesis 28:10–19a | Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43 We live in a world where good and evil exist side by side, often leaving us wondering why God allows evil to remain. In the Parable of the Weeds and the Wheat, Jesus reminds us that although evil is real, it does not have the final word. God remains sovereign, faithfully watches over His people, and will one day bring perfect justice. Drawing from Jacob’s encounter with God at Bethel and Jesus’ teaching about the kingdom, Jesus presence sustains us in an imperfect world. Rather than becoming discouraged or preoccupied with the weeds around us, we are
Martin unpacks the Parable of the Sower (of popcorn – fun for kids, too!) in Matthew 13 with practical examples and encouragements to have faith in our loving father. We also consider how can we let ourselves be more open to receive.
In Romans 7:15–25a, Paul honestly describes the inner struggle we all face—the tension between wanting to do what is right and being drawn toward sin. The troubles, worries, and burdens of this world can easily distract us from God and pull us away from His will. In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus offers a different way. He invites all who are weary to come to Him, promising rest and asking us to take His yoke upon us. By walking closely with Christ and sharing His yoke, we find the strength, guidance, and peace to remain steady in faith, even amid life’s challenges, trusting that His burden is light
What do Abraham, Isaac and a ram show us about Jesus? Why did God tell Abraham to do the unthinkable? And how does this show us how to get out of the ultimate escape room? This short sermon answers these questions with a message from God that we all need to hear.
