Family Church Southsea

Grounded by ‘storytelling’ involving our very own church, this message encourages us to see our local ‘everyday’ world not as accidental and randomly placed, but as providential and sovereignly planted.  From ‘coming out’ as Christian, to seeing lives being fully set free, the Holy Spirit enables us to authentically play our parts in reaching our ‘Jerusalem’ for Jesus.

Hannah speaks on the importance of building true, honest, meaningful relationships within our families and practical ways to share Jesus with them. 

Ps Steu starts this new series by sharing that it’s God’s desire for every person to be saved and that none should perish. Everyone who receives Jesus becomes a child of God and part of His ever-increasing family. Get ready to be challenged to be used by God to reach the ‘ones’ in your world!

In this sermon Sam discusses the way the cross has become a symbol for Christianity not because the cross itself is special but because of who was crucified on it. Jesus holds the power we need to see freedom in our lives. Coming to the cross and remembering what Jesus did has the power to heal, transform and restore. In this sermon we remember the power of the Cross, the Freedom and the reas...

Steu shares about the significance of the resurrection and how we have a new beginning when we accept Jesus. Carla then shares her own story about the new beginning she received when she began walking with God. 

Jesus walked in the authority of the Father and had such power that he simply spoke a word and people were saved, healed and delivered. He has delegated this authority to us, as His disciples. We are ambassadors of King Jesus and of His kingdom and we can walk in His authority.

Richard begins a two part message on The Authority of God's Word. He asks, "what can we learn from Jesus’ temptation"? He had the authority, He knew the truth, He knew who he was, He knew who the devil was and how he worked He spoke the truth with authority. We can do the same!!!  Listen to this challenging message!

The Word of God is like seed and our hearts are like soil. It’s important for our hearts to be open to receive the seed of God’s Word so we become the strong, flourishing and fruitful ‘trees’ that God wants us to be. In this message, Ps Steu speaks about the importance of having open and unclogged hearts as well as ‘uncluttered’ lives.

The only real truth is found in the word. If we want to know the truth, dwell in the truth, share the truth and be equipped with the truth, we should build our lives on God’s word - the Bible.

There are countless times in the bible where God has said something and it has come to pass, this message explores God's faithfulness through the bible and the truth that His word is still very relevant, alive and active today as it was in the bible times.

God-pleasing worship involves three specific areas: God-Glorifying Worship, Christ-Centered Worship and Spirit-Driven Worship. True worship occurs when our spirit, connects with God as we surrender our will and hearts to Him.

As we continue in our 3-part series on worship, Steve shares on the important question -  Who do we Worship?  Listen in, as we open up the thought that there's more to this question than the standard simplistic answer, and how answering this question correctly will mean we are truly satisfied in life!

Every human being has an innate desire to worship someone or something. When you accept Christ, you discover the One true God who alone is to be worshipped. Our worship of God is a response to who He is. The more we know Him, the more we will want to give Him our worship. We know you will be blessed by this inspiring message by Ps Steu. Apologies this is a part recording.

Today, Ps Steu shared 9 specific goals that have been set for Family Church Southsea to work towards in 2025. These goals flow from our mission and vision. He finished by reflecting on how Jesus gave everything for humanity and how we - when we have a revelation of Jesus’ love - will passionately love Jesus and love His church.

Ps Andy delivers a keynote message today regarding vision for the whole of Family Church during 2025. He explains how important it is for us to have a vision (Proverbs 29:18,  Where there is no vision, the people perish) and thanks all those who have contributed in any way to the outworking of the church vision the previous year. Ps Andy then concentrates his message around two words the Lord...

God’s heart to bring restoration to His people is not based on our performance, it’s based on His grace. In this message, Olu’s shares how God is able to bring restoration even when it looks impossible. He encourages us with examples from the Bible and from his own life. We know you will be uplifted by this message.

Today, three of our church family shared their personal testimonies of how Jesus has restored their lives. It was a special morning and we were amazed by the stories of God’s goodness. We know you will love this!

As we celebrated the official launch of our Southsea congregation, Ps Steu shared five keys to taking hold of the future that God has for you. His plans for us are good and we are excited about what’s next!

On 29th December Ps Andy spoke to the Portsmouth congregation, members from Havant and Southsea were also present..... Ps Andy speaks today in the period after Christmas and before the new year. Using the theme of Psalm 84:5 (NIV) "Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage", he examines how life moves from one place to another often. This may be a physical...

Ps Andy speaks on The Character of God... Jesus stepped into the world 2000 years ago to take the sin of the world so that we could have relationship with Him. God came down to Earth to dwell with mankind in bodily form. When Mary held the baby, she held the very character of the Father in her arms. Jesus revealed the character of God to the world. He is loving, kind, trustworthy, just, fair, righ...

In this message, Ps Steu speaks about the difference between  being set free  and  living in freedom . He shares two reasons why Christians fail to live in freedom: (1) We don't realise we are living in captivity, and (2) We try to live in freedom but fail to do so. Listen to this message to discover keys to living in freedom! 

When you carry an attitude of 'ownership' toward the House of God, your heart will align with God's heart for the growth of the church. In this message, Ps Steu speaks about how we want to be a growing church in three areas: numerical growth, growth in our relationship with God, and growth in our relationship with each other.

When you love Jesus and love His House (the local church) you will become passionate about bringing people to the House of God! In this message, Ps Carla shares the heart of God concerning the lost and how He sees the 'one' and desires to bring home the 'one'. You will be inspired as you hear her personal testimony and some stories of other people who were once lost but now are found!

This is the first of five messages on 'Ownership' looking at what it means to have an attitude of 'ownership'. This week Ps Steu shares that an attitude of ownership will produce a caring culture. Our ability to care for one another starts with hearts that have experienced the love and care of Jesus for us personally. In building a caring culture, our aim is to demonstrate God's love to other...

At the very first gathering of Family Church Southsea, Ps Steu introduced the theme of ‘Ownership’ speaking from the parable in Matthew 13 where the merchant sold everything to take ownership of the ‘pearl of greatest worth’. Jesus was speaking of the Kingdom of God, which is revealed to this world through the Church. Today the congregation were encouraged to really take ‘ownership’ of the church....
