Saturday Ev Sermons

Our time on earth is precious and short. From 1 Peter 4, Grahame Fuller encourages us to pray, love, invite and serve in a way that shows the new life we've come to in Christ.

1 Peter chapter 3 encourages and challenges us with big truths about who we are as men and women. Andrew Heard shares the Bible's wisdom on marriage that brings something much better than any alternative our culture can offer.

Andrew Heard explains that the key to understanding Jesus is not that he came to give us an example of how to live. The key is that he came to bear our sins to save us.

God's purposes centre on Jesus as the cornerstone that brings stability. Jez Reynolds speaks on the chosen people of God who have heard and humbled themselves before him, and become living stones precious to him.

Is Christianity a set of arbitrary rules? Jez Reynolds speaks on how our desire to live a holy life, connects to our hope in Jesus and is pleasing to God.

We give thanks to God for motherhood, for the joys and the heartaches, and yet there are even bigger things than motherhood that form our identity. Andrew Heard speaks on the value and worth given to us by God, who created us to know him.

This world, and this life is not your home! As we endure hardships and suffering, the letter of 1 Peter encourages the people of God to look towards our true heavenly home. Andrew Heard introduces this series and challenges us to see God's work in our current trials and circumstances.

What does it mean to pick up our cross to follow Jesus? Grahame Fuller looks at the radical and counter-intuitive call of Jesus to lose ourselves in order to gain everything.

Our world reduces the Easter message to bunnies and religious curiosities... they cannot believe the unbelievable. So, is it true?? Andrew Heard speaks on the exalted Jesus, who is raised to life and given all power, and before whom all will bow the knee.

2000 yrs of the cross has desensitised us to its shock and scandal. Jez Reynolds takes us back to the 1st Century to appreciate the depths of God's love in his son humbling himself to death - even death on a cross.

Doubts about Christianity are not always an intellectual issue but often a deeper heart problem driven by sin and rebellion. Andrew Heard speaks on the doubts of John the Baptist and Jesus' response to him and to us today.

Jesus calls his followers to love in the most radical, unnatural and costly way. Jez Reynolds unpacks what it means to love our enemy, what it doesn't mean, and how we can do the seemingly impossible.

What Jesus says in Luke 6 doesn't fit with who our culture says is blessed and who is cursed. Andrew Heard helps us understand the context of Jesus teachings and what is true blessings, especially for us today.

The Bible brings us truths about life, in particular the importance of time and God bringing in his kingdom. Andrew Heard speaks on Jesus bringing in the promised new kingdom of God and the impact this has for our lives today.

Jesus' first sermon in his hometown started well but ended with him almost thrown off a cliff. What happened to trigger such a violent twist? Jez Reynolds digs into how the answer helps us see Jesus rightly and then ourselves rightly in relation to him.

There is more to life than the material, the devil and his strategy is a real threat to our eternal destination... Grahame Fuller shares that we can have confidence in Jesus as the Son of God to overcome the devil's temptation and fulfil his role of suffering servant for us.

John the baptist didn't preach a 'safe space' message to the crowd but challenged them with repentance that was evidenced by a changed life. Jez Reynolds speaks from Luke 3 on the good news this message of repentance brings for them, and us, as it points to the salvation available in Jesus. Is repentance real in your life?

Merry Christmas ;) Luke chapter 2 tells us the story of Jesus' birth, a fulfilment long prophesied about through the Old Testament. Jez Reynolds takes us through the place, the person, and the purpose of this account to lift our gaze to the big picture of Jesus and our salvation.

Why does the Gospel of Luke begin with John and not Jesus, a choice echoed in all four Gospels? Andrew Heard reveals that this is no accident but a display of God's perfect plan, preparing the way for Christ, fulfilling prophecy, and showing that God hears every prayer and draws near to the broken-hearted and weak.

The gospel of Luke is a carefully researched and investigated account of Jesus' life and ministry. Andrew Heard challenges us to see that the certainty of the Christian message points to reasoned and rational response of faith in Jesus.
