Saturday Ev Sermons

Every person, in every culture has a thought or question about what happens after we die... and death is coming for all of us! Grahame Fuller shares from the Bible the confronting yet beautiful truth that we can have eternal life with Jesus.

Many of us don't know why we exist, yet we are constantly searching for meaning and purpose in life. Andrew Heard explores this question and shares from the Bible how only God can give us ultimate purpose... deep, true, and meaningful existence that's bigger than us.

The question of suffering is one that every generation asks. Jez Reynolds steps through the Bible’s layered response and the comfort and hope it offers.

Why isn't it more obvious that God's there, and why aren't we seeking him? Andrew Heard shows us from the Bible in Acts 17, how God has made himself known, and the challenge to examine our own hearts and seek him.

The scriptures tell us that God loves us and wants to save! Andrew Heard speaks from the end of Luke's gospel, that Jesus preached he must suffer and die, and that this message must be preached to the world for salvation.

Where can we find security in our chaotic world? Grahame Fuller points us to the book of Revelation for answers, offering hope in uncertain times.

We live in what's often called a therapeutic age, a culture focused on seeking what makes us "feel good." But is that what we should expect from church? Or from God? Join Andrew Heard as he helps us unpack these questions in the final instalment of our 1 John series.

The phrase 'Love is love' is often used to define love in today's world, but what does it truly mean? Andrew Heard guides us in uncovering the biblical definition of love.

As we continue our journey through 1 John, Andrew Heard helps us identify the evidence of a truly born-again Christian and reflects on the contrasting situations we might encounter as a result.

The Bible's picture of what it means to belong to the Christian community is far richer, far more profound and far more important than most people think. The Apostle John gives a vivid picture of what it means to belong to God's church.

To have confidence of external life requires two surprising qualifications. Jez Reynolds unpacks how Jesus is the greatest of lawyers for the most serious of criminals.

As Jez takes us through 1 John, he reveals how we can have confidence about the future in a world filled with uncertainty.

Our society tends to have two extreme views about children; they are either 'everything' or a 'costly inconvenience'. Grahame Fuller speaks on the Bible's wonderfully positive view of children, that they are part of God's plan for the world and worth our investment in raising the next generation to know him.

The Bible promotes the most liberating view of sex! Andrew Heard unpacks this claim - surprising to many but relevant for all as he shows how our understanding of sexuality draws out deep things about what it is to be human.

Family is a good gift from God, but it is a terrible master. Jez Reynolds traces Jesus' teaching on the danger of family and the priority of the Kingdom of God.

Whatever your experience of earthly family has been, you were made for a far more wonderful, glorious, eternal family. Andrew Heard speaks on the heavenly father with whom we are made for relationship and by the Spirit adopted to sonship.

The Bible is clear that salvation comes from God by faith alone. Andrew Heard speaks on what the Bible says about baptism and why it is a fitting sign to be applied to infants of Christian parents.

Everyone wants to grow - or we should! But how? Colossians 2:16-23 raises the dangers of seeking growth through human traditions, rules, or mystical practices, which sound helpful but can actually be harmful. In Colossians, Paul shows us that Jesus gives us all we need for salvation and growth, and we see how it is that he grows us. Are you giving yourself to the normal ways that Jesus grows you?

The golden calf episode in Exodus provides us with a great warning and a great hope. Andrew Heard speaks on the character of God; his judgement and justice, and his love, compassion and mercy, both displayed in Jesus death for us.

The best human experiences are all about relationship. Andrew Heard speaks on the detailed Tabernacle given to Moses, where God dwells and makes a way for sinful people to relate to him, and looks forward to Jesus, fulfilling God dwelling in our hearts.
