Bay Vineyard Sermon Audio

Jesus isn't just interested in changing our behaviour. He wants to transform our hearts. In this message from Matthew 5, Tommy explores how shame keeps us hiding, why Jesus goes after the roots instead of the weeds, and how true freedom begins when we step into the light and experience God's grace.

Jesus calls us to be salt and light, not through striving harder but through lives transformed by His kingdom. In this sermon, Charlotte encourages us that as we stay close to Jesus, His character shapes us, and His love, truth, and hope naturally overflow into the world around us, bringing flavour where life is bland and light where there is darkness.

In this sermon, we explore how Jesus’ Beatitudes were a radical challenge to the power structures of the Roman world, declaring that true flourishing belongs not to the powerful, but to the merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers, and those willing to suffer for righteousness.

In this message from Luke Buxton, we explore how Jesus reframes our lives around the upside-down values of the Kingdom of God, calling us to humility, dependence, softness of heart, and deep trust in His comfort and grace. It invites us to become people who not only receive the blessing of God, but who carry His Kingdom into a hurting world.

We begin our series working our way through the Sermon on the Mount. In this sermon, we look at a the wider context, and explore the first two verses.

Guest Speaker Ivan Bezzant explores how the gift of the Holy Spirit is central to how we live our lives, and how we minister as churches today.

In this message, Sam explores what it means to cultivate a soft and wholehearted heart toward God over a lifetime. Looking at the examples of Caleb, David, Peter, Paul, and Jesus, we contrast tender devotion with the danger of hardened hearts and discover God’s promise to give us hearts of flesh.

Charlotte reminds us of the importance of remaining in Jesus — staying closely connected to Him rather than striving in our own strength. She encourages us to learn His “unforced rhythms of grace,”.

Guest speaker Ben McGregor leads us through a special "all in" family service, using Jesus' example of generosity and kindness.

Jen encourages us to invite people to Alpha, and we hear from some members of our church on the awesome ways they have been sharing their faith in our community.

In this talk, Sam explores the great commission, reminding us that we are part of God’s grand story of redemption and are called to join His mission in the world. Drawing on voices like N. T. Wright and Malcolm Guite, it challenges the church to move beyond fear, rediscover its identity, and live with both compassion and conviction as we make disciples. It’s a call to encounter Jesus, overcome our...

Sam recalls the story of resurrection from Matthew's gospel, and its significance for us today!

This Palm Sunday message explores how Jesus Christ enters Jerusalem not as a conquering king on a war horse, but as a humble servant on a donkey, revealing a Kingdom built on self-giving love rather than power and violence. It challenges us to examine our expectations of Jesus and choose faithful devotion to His upside-down Kingdom, even when He doesn’t meet our desires or timelines.

Guest speaker Dan Sheed continues the Drift no More series and explores the idea of being tethered to the gospel, with "ketching" anchor points along the way.

Drawing on the work of James K.A. Smith, Sam explores how healthy and holy habits that help us stay connected to Jesus and his community enable us to be tethered in our faith

Kara reflects on the biblical metaphors that reveal God’s vision for His Church and celebrates the beauty of belonging to the body of Christ. Together, we’ll consider what it looks like to say a deep and lasting yes — to be anchored to Christ and anchored to His Church.

Sam intentionally explores what it means to live with a tethered faith, focusing on how to stay tethered to Christ through the practice of prayer, by soaking ourselves in the teachings of Jesus, and by looking to heroes of the faith who have kept Him at the centre of their lives.

Sam launches the Drift No More series, by reflecting on Hebrews 2 and the quiet danger of drifting from “so great a salvation,” asking whether our faith is anchored or slowly carried away by distraction and complacency.

Sam concludes our "Jesus at the Centre" series by exploring how we can keep Jesus at the centre in the everyday rhythms of our days and weeks and encourages us to look at the ancient and powerful practice known as a “rule of life.”

Sam launches the new series "Jesus at the Centre" by encouraging us to "double down" on Jesus, making Jesus the centre of our lives. He calls us to follow Him fully as apprentices and disciples, learning to live in His presence and reflect His character.

Sam reflects on how a life shaped by forgiveness, mercy, and transforming love re-orders our desires, and how holy habits become a means of grace that draw us closer to God and help us live in daily proximity to Him.

Sam shares an Advent message, and our Bay Kids do a wonderful job of entertaining us in the annual Bay Kids Christmas Extravaganza service!

Guest speaker Dale Campbell shares an uplifting message on the thrill of hope in a weary world—reminding us that biblical hope isn’t just optimism, but a confident trust in God’s faithfulness. He encourages us to fix our eyes on God’s promises and live as people who carry that hope into the world around us.

Kara concludes our journey through the book of Colossians, examining Paul's powerful reminder of what shapes a thriving, Christ-centred life. She calls us to be devoted to prayer—alert, thankful, and expectant—because the gospel moves forward on the foundation of prayer. She urges us to walk with wisdom toward others, highlighting the beauty of a community bound together in Christ, where every per...

Sam explores Colossians 3:18–4:1, looking at how Paul’s words to wives, husbands, children, and even slaves turned the ancient world upside down. Far from reinforcing hierarchy, these verses reveal a radical vision of mutual love, service, and healing.
