Bryanston Bible Church

Have you ever wondered why we preach the way we preach? David so beautifully depicted that all scripture is breathed out by God as we read in Timothy 3:16 .

Do you crave genuine intimacy? Matthew Thomas from Pulse Church, shared with us about how we can do nothing apart from God. But to get to a place of intimacy we need bring our true selfs before the Lord, we don't need to be ashamed. We can be open and vulnerable with our God who is gracious, compassionate and slow to anger.  It is our greatest need and out greatest privilege to love the Lord...

Breaking the Cycle of Busyness: Embracing the Gift of Sabbath Rest - A Journey to Trusting in God's Love and Care We are restless people ultimately because we are afraid to pause and deal with our anxieties, worries, loneliness and more.  We are encouraged to rest. Not only take a sabbath day, but also rest in God. Bring God your worries and insecurities, allow Him to lighten your burdens.  M...

Why fellowship? Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity.  -Psalm 133:1 No Christian is an only child. Mike spoke about fellowship to end off our For The Journey series. Being a part of the people of God is life’s greatest blessing!  Here is how you can plug into fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ: 1- Don’t just tolerate community, CELEBRATE IT!  2- Enjoy c...

Do you crave peace? One thing that is offered to us by God is peace. A peace that surpasses all understanding. Dave dives into Psalm 131 and explains how we need to choose peace instead of pride. Every one of us struggles with pride at some point in our lives. One way we can do this is by focusing on the pleasure of God instead of the pleasure of life. Treasuring God and not just the gifts from Go...

Are you feeling anxious or fearful for 2023? As our series For The Journey continues, Dave dives into Psalm 126 this week and explains how we can have JOY this year even if we have struggles and sorrow. In Psalm 126 we learn that those who sow their tears shall reap in joy! The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad. - Psalm 126:3

Where does your help come from? As we reflect on 2022 one thing that was constant was God's faithfulness to us. That should give us hope for this year! God is our protector and He will keep us. His protection is contact and complete. Our God never slumbers and therefore, he is always paying attention to our cries out for help. Turn to God in your times of need during 2023, He will sustain you...

You are not alone!  The word tells us that Jesus is our promised shepherd and that He will carry us next to his heart. He carries us close to Him.  In whatever is coming, recognise that you are close to Christ's heart and that he is holding you and gently leading you.  Let Christ be your good shepherd. He knows you and He has laid down His life down for you.  Isa 53:4-7  John 10:10-16 Isa 40:...

We have a promised saviour. There is good news for those who are poor in spirit. There are spiritual riches for you. The brokenhearted will be comforted, and their wounds of sin will be healed. There is freedom for those who are bound. The prison of death has no power, He gives us liberty. Jesus Christ came as a baby, to fulfil the promises, and die for us so that we could have eternity with God.

What marks your faith? What events and things in your life point to God and His work in and around you? When you need to fight for your faith, when you need to stand up for your faith what are the road marking you can look back to, to know that God is at work! Your story - God's work of faith. Your service - your labour prompted by love. Your endurance - steadfastness inspired by hope. Take c...

What do you do when you are not only in the darkness but when the darkness is in you? Come into community, be accountable, and walk with your brothers and sisters in Christ so that they may be a light to help you see Jesus. You are not alone when you belong to a community, so your sin affects not only you but the family of faith around you, but when your sin is exposed in community you are set fre...

Throughout the Bible and throughout the example of the early church we can see that church membership is implied. It would be a foreign consent in the early church to come to faith and not be commented to a local church, a local body. We see this in the metaphor of the body. (1 Cor 12:12 -13)As Christians, we are not isolated or independent. We belong to a body of people, set apart for God, each o...

Are you longing for a place to BELONG? How do you view the church? Is it an add-on to your life or is it something fundamentally necessary to your faith? As Christians, we are defined by Love, the way we love the people around us, and in that, we receive the love of the Lord. We express love as we do life together. We can not take our walk with God lightly, and church is essential to our walk with...

No matter what circumstances we face, no matter what is happening in our lives we can find comfort in the fact that God's grace is sufficient. When we are weak HE is strong, and HIS power is made perfect in our weakness!

Privilege is a topic we need to approach with spiritual maturity and insight. Knowing that in some way we all have some privileged, through God's common grace. What truly matters is not how much or little privilege you have, but what you are doing with what you do have, in the eyes of God. We as fallen humans look to prioritise ourselves with the privileges we have, but rather with our privil...

A study from the book of Esther Are you harbouring an attitude of unwanted pride and letting that boilover, blinding you and harming others. Turn to God, who delivers the undeserving and destroys the guilty. As a righteous God He must judge, but he has made a way for us. Justifying us by grace and faith alone at the cross of Christ.

God's providence prevails despite our brokenness and depravity. We all have power over someone, and this power is easily weaponised! We see just how power is used in the book of Esther, and in our world today. We can be potent in status but impotent in Character, like King Xerxes, whose power is used by others to benefit their own genders. We are reminded, however, that God has the ultimate p...

Do you trust in God, even when the world is full of brokenness and depravity? As we journey through the book of Esther, we see how our faithful God is always present and that His Providence prevails despite our depravity. Together, let's rest in the province of God, putting our hope and trust in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We have been given a grace that grants pardon and gives power! Live from that grace, stand firm in it! We do this by recognising the grace we have been given and living out small acts of grace to others.

When facing hardship in our lives do we focus on how big our problem is, or how big our God is? Never doubt the care God has for you, you are never alone. This Sunday, as we look at this passage, we show that the God we serve is a God who knows us and cares deeply for us. It is we who need to respond in humility and faith! Tune in to this sermon to find out how to be clothed with humility.

Have you ever observed how clothing has the ability to mark certain people and make them noticeable? What if there was something that God desired for His church to be noticed by and what if it had to do with being clothed with humility? Tune in to this sermon to find out how to be clothed with humility.

Suffering is a reality that none of us can escape. So, how do we not just make peace with it, but make the effort to repurpose suffering in our life for the pursuit of Christ? Tune in to this sermon to find out how we can not waste our suffering.

A study through the book of 1 Peter (1 Peter 4:7-11) The return of Christ is imminent, but how much does that reality, that conviction impact our daily lives, our decisions, our priorities? Tune in to this sermon to find out how we can live what we believe.

A study through the book of 1 Peter (1 Peter 4:1-6) Who is our greatest foe and how do we, as believers, overcome him? The answer might surprise you! Tune in to this sermon to learn about not just the victory we already have in Christ, but how that reality can be our daily experience.

When we feel useless to the people in our lives, we can start asking the question: “Can God use me?” The answer to this question is… YES! We believe in and serve a God who sees. In our short mini-series titled “Anonymous Heroes,” we explore the grace of our God through the lives of three women in the Bible.
