Gas Street Church Weekly Message

We are all “dying to be great.” Human history—and our own lives—show the endless desire to climb higher, to be seen, to be in control. Whether in ancient towers, social media followings, or career ladders, the lie is the same: the higher you go, the greater you are. Nick explores what Scripture reveals through the story of King Nebuchadnezzar who exalted himself until God humbled him.

Kookie explores how greed whispers that Jesus isn’t enough, distracting us with the restless desire for more and leaving our hearts unsettled. Through the story of Mary pouring out her costly perfume, we see that surrendering what we hold most tightly at the feet of Jesus reveals devotion and blesses those around us. This talk unpacks how true freedom comes not from gaining more, but from resting...

Tim Hughes begins our new series, War of Desires. Looking at the desire of love and what happens when we choose to put our love in other places over God.

Nick ends out our series on the question Jesus asks in Luke 12 “why do you worry’. He explores how God provides in the pursuit of Kingdom goals and how we can trust in the goodness of the Father.

Pete Norris explores Jesus’ invitation to his disciples to die to themselves in Luke 9:23-25. Whilst this can sound uncomfortable, it’s only as we die to ourselves that we discover true life in Jesus.

Reuben Williams unpacks the account of the woman with the issue of blood. We learn that our issues are not an issue for Jesus; rather, Jesus is an issue for our issues. He has the power to heal, to liberate, and to restore us to who we were always made to be - children of God.

Ali Herbert shares a message on how often our vision of Jesus can be clouded by our own mind, and if we shift these things, it can change everything.

Meg Lambert shares a message on the power of forgiveness.

Before we can truly love others, we must first receive the love of our Heavenly Father. Our hearts were designed to be fulfilled by Him alone. Without a deep, personal revelation of God’s love, our identity remains incomplete. But when we encounter the Father’s love, we step into our true identity as secure sons and daughters, bringing life, not pain, to the world around us.

Tim shares a message on pentecost, where the Holy Spirit first descended on the disciples of Jesus.

Jesus is clear in Matthew 6 that there’s an expectation that his followers will practice Fasting; and yet so many of us don’t do it regularly. Rachel explores how the physical action of fasting brings about a spiritual reaction.

As followers of Jesus we are in a spiritual battle. We need to be ready and alert to stand strong in the challenges of life. Paul, in his letter to the church in Ephesus gives us so much in how to prepare and clothe ourselves for the battles ahead. Tim looks at the ‘armour of God’ and helps us see how we are to use it to enable us to stand firm. 

The gift of tongues is a spiritual gift, given by God, to release us in prayer and worship. When we pray in tongues we are edified and built up. Through this gift we connect with God in prayer and amazingly are drawn into the mysteries of God. In this message, Tim biblically unpacks why we should eagerly desire this spiritual gift and what happens when we pray and sing in tongues.

Throughout our lives, both intentionally and unintentionally, we build up narratives about ourselves. Narratives built very often to answer the big questions: who am I? Am I worthy of being loved? When we come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we discover a beautiful new narrative written over us that we are God’s children, fully known and loved - but it is often hard to live out of that narr...

Tim Hughes shares an Easter message on the power of Jesus's resurrection and what the resurrection means for us.

When we think of judgement, we might automatically think of it negatively. But we see from our passage in Mark 14, that God’s judgement in Jesus is really good news and that we are lost without it. The rule and judgement of the Son of Man is the hope for our future, the grace for our past and the peace for our present. As we enter Holy Week and remember the events of the cross and the resurrection...

Tebo shares on how pride can take us away from all God has called us to be, and that living in humility is a way to draw closer to God.
