This week’s sermon was given by Owen Hylton, who returned to the book of Exodus, chapter 6, highlighting the challenges faced by the Israelites and the call to obedience. Although Moses follows God’s direction, his weakness reminds us as believers that our weaknesses can be a good thing, as they lead us to press on with God and recognise that we cannot do it in our own strength. Moses encourages t...

This sermon was delivered by Daniel Featherstone on Easter Sunday, exploring the question of where our true hope for the future lies. Daniel reflects on how easily we can place our hope in temporary, worldly things—such as money, careers, and personal success. Yet he gently reminds us that these things do not last. Instead, he encourages us to anchor our hope in Jesus Christ. While everything else...

This week’s sermon was given by Raj Saha, pastor at Jubilee Church Teesside, on the theme of the “journey of descent.” Raj explained that before God elevates a person, He often leads them through a season of descent—a time of humbling, often marked by suffering and pain. Although this season can be difficult, it is not without purpose. He reminded us that God is not distant in our struggles; He is...

Owen reaches out to those who are strong in their faith, those who feel lost, and those who have drifted away. He reminds the church that life with Jesus means holding on to the One who is the author and finisher of our faith. When the world tosses us back and forth, we can stand firm, trusting and re...

This week’s sermon was given by Lally Wood, who spoke about the challenges of being lowered and crushed so that God can uplift and raise us. Lally encouraged us to see this not only in our own lives, but also in our relationships with others. She stressed the importance of turning to Yahweh, whose compassion and grace help us to shift our perspective and trust him during challenging times.

This week, Owen Hylton explores the importance of turning aside. Owen examines the challenges we may face when we are called to our purpose. Owen reminds us that being called does not mean giving up easily, nor does it mean becoming boastful. Instead, we are invited to humble ourselves in obedience to God and to recognise our complete dependence on Him. Total surrender means trusting that it is Go...

This week, Dan Featherstone brings the Vision series to an insightful and reflective close.

This sermon was given by Elisha DaCosta, who teaches us the importance and true value of attending church and gathering together. Elisha makes it clear that it is good for us to come and dwell together, as God desires this for His people. Gathering together can be challenging, as we can be driven by emotions, but making the conscious choice to attend and gather with the church means that it is fru...

To welcome the New Year, Phil Hopgood, starts us off with our vision series, which encourages the believer to pray continuously. Phil beautifully reminds us that prayer can be hard for the believer, as the implication of life may deter or contribute when and how we pray, but Phil reminds us that God is faithful, as even though prayer can feel like an inconvenience, we must push through and make ti...

The Christmas day sermon was given by Owen Hylton, who reminds us that when Heaven Speaks, it shows that God revealed himself to patient, humble and faithful servant. Those who God revealed himself to were ordinary people. God chooses to reveal himself to those who are humble, patient and faithful. This means that God reveals to the following: The Father, The Kingdom, Faith, money and Satan. Jesus...

This week, our sermon was given by Lally Wood, who drew our series to a focus on the glory of God. Lally reminded us that the angels presented themselves to the shepherds—people who were lowly and at the bottom of society. This shows that God’s glory is not for a particular group of people or a certain status, but for those who are ordinary—which is everyone. This means that God is there, waiting...

Heaven Speaks - The Angel Gabriel and Mary by Beacon Church

In this Advent message, Matt DaCosta opens our new series Heaven Speaks by walking us through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1. Drawing from a season of divine silence broken by God’s surprising intervention, Matt helps us explore what it means to trust God when our prayers seem unanswered, when His timing confuses us, and when His voice feels distant.

This week, Owen Hylton powerfully concluded the prayer series by speaking on the armour of God. He explained that prayer is a form of spiritual warfare, meaning we are contending with an unseen yet very real realm. God provides His people with spiritual armour to stand against the forces of evil and to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. As believers, this armour is not given to keep us...

This week, Owen continues our prayer series with a gracious reflection on God as our Father. He highlights that approaching God in this way can be challenging, especially if our relationship with our earthly father has shaped our expectations. Owen explains that our relationship with God is not meant to be transactional but deeply relational. Understanding God as Father influences how we respond t...

This week, Jonny Rudd continues to speak wonderfully about the importance of prayer being the fruit and not the root. He explains that in order for us to pray and hold fast to God in prayer, we must know Him—and the key way we can do that is by reading the Bible, remembering the Word, and knowing God’s character. It is through the Bible that believers are able to pray to God, trust Him and build w...

This week, Owen wonderfully begins our new series on prayer, exploring the importance of looking to God and what that truly means.

All Things Done in Love by Beacon Church

This week's sermon, shared by Matthew DaCosta, reminds us that spiritual gifts are not about us—they are given to unify the Church and build God's Kingdom. As one body made up of many parts, each role is vital and dependent on the others. We're encouraged to seek the gifts, even the greater ones, but always keep our eyes on God—the source of all things—who guides us in using them to serve His Chur...

This week, Dan Featherstone reminds us of the diverse gifts within the Church. These gifts are not for our own glory, but are freely given to serve one another.

This begins with cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit, which shapes our character in Christ before w...
