Disciples Church Sermons

Feeling the weight of our sin is burdensome. We get an insight into how heavily it was upon David in this Psalm. His honesty shows us that we can be open before the Lord when we are feeling weighed down because of our own sin, and that we can turn to Him for help.

The Voice of the Lord is mighty, and thunders through all creation. David reflects on the glory of the Lord as he looks out across a terrifying storm. He invites all of God's people on earth to join in the with the heavenly worship of their Creator.

In Genesis 3, humanity is sent east of Eden—out of the garden, down the mountain, and into the wilderness. A flaming sword now guards the way back. This isn’t just geography; it’s theology. It’s the beginning of a question that echoes through the rest of Scripture: Who shall ascend the mountain of the Lord?

Once the garden overflowed with abundance, ease, and unbroken relationship - but in Genesis 3:16–19, we witness it all unravel. Blessing gives way to curse, harmony to hostility, and creation itself begins to fracture. Join us as we explore the devastating beauty of de-creation - and the God who doesn’t walk away.

Who will crush the serpent’s head? Genesis 3:15 isn’t just a curse—it’s a promise. From Eden to the empty tomb, the Bible tells of a cosmic conflict between two seeds. Join us this Sunday as we trace the story of the Snake Crusher and ask the question: Whose seed are you?

In Genesis 3:1–13, we’ve seen how sin begins with a voice, grows through misplaced trust, and ends in shame. But even in our hiding, God still calls out, “Where are you?”—inviting us to stop running and start trusting the voice of Jesus.

When God asked it in Eden, humanity was naked, hiding, and ashamed—and we’ve been covering up our guilt, shifting blame, and avoiding his presence ever since. But the gospel tells us that Jesus stepped into our place, exposed and forsaken, so we could come out of hiding and finally be found.

In the garden, they reached for what looked good—but it led to ruin. Ever since, we’ve been chasing wisdom on our own terms. But what if true wisdom isn’t something you take… but something you receive? Come and see how Jesus flips the script—and how distorted wisdom still shapes our world today.

Not all battles are fought with weapons. Some begin with a whisper. In the garden, the serpent didn’t strike - he spoke. He twisted truth, sowed doubt, and made death sound like wisdom. This week, we explore the power of a voice: one that deceives and one that delivers. Whose voice are you trusting? Join us as we trace the war of words from Eden to the cross - where Jesus, the Word made flesh, sil...

In the garden, the serpent didn’t strike with a sword — he whispered with a word. His goal wasn’t to attack humanity, but to lead them to choose their own ruin. This week, we’ll see how distrust in God’s goodness always ends in destruction — and how Jesus, the true and better Word, silences the lies that still echo today.

As our Man of Sorrows / King of Glory series concludes, we come to the moment Jesus returns to the Father—not in defeat, but in triumph. The Ascension is not the end of the story, but the beginning of His rule from heaven and our mission on earth. Join us as we lift our eyes to the risen and reigning King.

The Bible says that on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead. It’s an extraordinary claim, which is absolutely central to the Christian faith. The resurrection of Christ means His death on Good Friday was no ordinary death. In fact, death could not hold the Son of God. His absolute goodness was sufficient to pay our sin debt, and more! He rose in glory, ensuring all who believe in Him will do th...

On Good Friday, we heard the voices of three men on three crosses — each revealing a different response to Jesus. This sermon invites us to see that the hope of the cross isn’t just escaping death, but being with the One who entered it for us.

As the shadow of the cross looms closer, we reflect on Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane and discover the depth of His love and commitment to the Father's will - even in the face of overwhelming suffering.

As our Easter series begins, we find Jesus at the table. The Passover meal is rich with history, hope, and meaning—but on this night, Jesus reshapes it around himself. In Luke 22, we see the Man of Sorrows offering himself as the true Passover Lamb, even as the King of Glory prepares to suffer for his people. Join us as we explore how this sacred meal points us to the cross, and invites us to reme...

It wasn’t good for the man to be alone, so God delivers him by splitting him in two—then brought the two back together to become one. This isn’t just the first marriage; it’s the blueprint for the gospel. In Jesus, what was torn apart is made whole again—bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh.

What does Genesis 2:9-17 have to say about our everyday lives? More than we often realise. In this message, we’ll explore what it means to be planted in Christ, overflowing with His Spirit, and faithfully tending to the work He’s entrusted to us. Life with God isn’t accidental—it’s deeply purposeful.

What was Adam’s role in the Garden of Eden? In Genesis 2:15, God placed Adam in the garden to “work and keep” it—language that later describes the duties of Israel’s priests in the tabernacle. This week, we’ll explore what it means that the humans were given a priestly role and how this theme finds its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus, our great High Priest.

To be thirsty is to lack a deep need. Where do you turn to be truly satisfied? In  Genesis 2:10-14 , the river flowing from Eden symbolizes God’s life-giving presence, designed to water the world with blessing and life. This river finds its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus Christ, the true source of living water, who pours out eternal life to all who trust in Him.

We spend our lives trying to live longer, but what if eternal life was never meant to be earned? In this sermon, we explore the Tree of Life, God’s gift of eternity given before obedience, not as a reward but as an invitation to trust. Discover how this ancient tree points us to Jesus, the true source of eternal life.

God formed humanity from the dust, uniting us in our earthly nature, yet He breathed His divine Spirit into us, giving us the power to fulfill His mission. Just as Adam was placed in the garden to cultivate and expand its flourishing, we are now called to expand Eden by making disciples of all nations. Pastor Anthony Sligar will unpack how this ancient commission finds its ultimate fulfilment in J...

From the very beginning, God has been the ultimate gardener, planting a sacred space where heaven and earth meet. The Garden of Eden was more than just a paradise—it was a temple, a place of divine presence, where humanity was invited to dwell with God. What does it mean for us today that God still desires to fill creation with His presence?

From the first breath in Adam’s lungs to the final breath of Jesus on the cross, the Bible reveals that breath is more than oxygen—it’s the very life of God. Join us as we explore how the breath of life points to Christ, the one who gives life to the dead and fills us with His Spirit.

We were formed from the dust, but is that where we’re destined to stay?  Genesis 2:4-8  reveals the intimate way God shaped humanity, but sin redirected our destination—returning us to dust. Yet, through Jesus, the Potter Himself puts on dust, defeats death, and raises us to glory. Join us as we walk from Genesis to Jesus and discover how our final destination is not dust, but worship.

Our union with Jesus is right at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Being united with Jesus means, among other things, being united with His body, His people. So there's no growing to maturity in the Christian life without growing and working toward unity together as a body. This is often hard work. It means persevering and showing much grace to other believers who are different or diff...
