Coast Evangelical Church - Sermons

As Israel reject God as King, He shows them mercy in the moment. But their choice, as always, has a consequence. 

The Ark confronts us with the question: Who can stand before a Holy God? The Ark points us to Jesus and our great need for Him.

Humanity is in an endless cycle of searching for leaders. Political, religious, global. Someone who can be trusted to deliver on what they promise. Someone who is good and wants the ultimate good for others. Our passage gives us a handful of what God wants in His coming Leader; Jesus. 

Listen in as Michael Dasey kicks off our new series on 1 Samuel.

James wraps up his letter in a very James way. Pushing hard into what it means to be the church. He isn't satisfied with God's people being surface-level in their spirituality - he wants them to go deeper because that's where all the good stuff happens. 

The Cross of Christ was both the worst and best thing that ever happened. To fully understand the beauty of the cross, we need to understand it in light of it's dark background. What did the Cross achieve for us?

Living with the hope of Jesus' return shapes the way we face suffering and relate to others. Are you waiting well? Guest preacher Ben Molyneux.

How can we enjoy better fellowship with other believers and have a more intimate relationship with God?

Listen in as Dev takes us through this part of James.

Listen in as Chris takes us through this part of James.

God has all sorts of souls that make up His church. Part of loving each other well is treating each other as He sees us. Every soul has equal value as an image-bearer of the Creator. Come and have a heart check as James hits up this issue in the early church. 

What's an indicator that our faith is genuine? James reckons it's our response to God's Word. How receptive we are to it, whether we 'hear' and 'do' what it says, and whether it's transforming our lives in the everyday. 

Trials often lead to temptations. How can we resist them when they come? And what should we do when we cave in?

As believers navigate through the trials and challenges of life, God provides all we need. James writes to change the perspective of the early Christians and exhorts them to live a crown-worthy life.

One of the most loving (and awkward) things we can do is point others to Jesus. Here are 4 good reasons to push through the awkward and to have a crack.

The command is so clear and simple. So why is it so hard? And how can we do it?

Sometimes, our relationship with God can feel a little distant or abstract. Jesus modelled for us what an all-encompassing, intimate, and obedient love towards God looks like. Come and check out how 2025 can be a year where you grow in your love for God. 

In an uncertain world, certainty is attractive. Somethings we can never be certain about, but God says there are some things we can be very sure of. It's these things that need to shape our life. Come and check out what John sees that has encouraged the saints for millennia!

There are very real dark forces at work in our world, all working together to destroy us. When Jesus returns, He will ultimately triumph over them all, but in the meantime, we're still living in the battle zone. Sometimes the battle is obvious, but other times it's very subtle and seductive.

God's judgement will be full and complete. And surprisingly, it will be a cause for celebration.

God, in His grace, continues to give humanity warning after warning after warning. The problem is - we aren't so good at taking warnings seriously. But John sees a vision of the consequences of those who heed the warnings and those who don't. 

Followers of Jesus have a foot in two realities: an earthly one and a redeemed one. Through John's vision, Jesus reminds his people to be wise as they navigate the first and to be assured of their salvation as they hold to the second. 

Listen in as Michael Dasey takes us through Revelation 13. Please accept our apologies, the first part of the talk got cut off.
