Greyfriars Church

David shares the message of hope that Jesus brings us.

George speaks about how we are to live as a light for Christ, waiting for His return.

David explores what it means to wait with hope, as we look at the book of Micah.

John shares from Thess 5:12-28 on how we can live in peace with each other and live with the grace of Jesus, rather than depending on our relationships and self-reliance.

From 1 Thess 4:13-5:11, David reminds us of the hope in how we can wait with confidence for Jesus to come again.

Heather speaks from 1 Thess 4:1-12, during our all-age service, on what it means to live a holy life.

Dan shares how, in 1 Thessalonians 3:6-13, Paul prays that God would shape the church in Thessalonica, and that the people of the Church would be blameless and holy with love overflowing for one another.

David explores the difference between the danger of isolation and the joy of fellowship, based in 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:5.

John shares how, in 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Paul invites us to live a life that represents God to the world around us. To do this, we can follow the example of Paul and Jesus by living a life of clear priorities, genuine love and deep integrity.

David begins a new series in 1 Thessalonians, looking at what it means to be a healthy church.

Jane Peters speaks from John 21:1-14 on how Jesus demonstrates His power to multiply and provide, and of how He calls us to to do our bit in obedience. It is in this obedience that leads to the miracle of abundance, and the hope that He will provide all our needs.

John Freeman helps us to reflect on Jesus' death in John 19:16b-30, where we see that the cross reveals to us the generosity of God, and that the generosity of God invites us into a generous response.

David Walker speaks from John 17:1-26 on how we can understand the role of Jesus' followers in being a witness to His name in the world. As Jesus prays for his disciples, we see that we are "in the world, but not of the world" (vs15-16), and we are to pray for the mission of the church locally and globally.

David Walker speaks from John 15:1-17 on being as close to our Lord as we can, being grafted into Him. It is only as we surrender to Him, remain in Him and are obedient to Him (vs14) that we will be fruitful, know His love for us and testify to answered prayer.

Alyssa speaks from Malachi. Malachi means ‘my messenger’ and through this message we learn about the covenant between God and his people (2:10) which is like a living relationship between a father and son. But this relationship broke down and Malachi looks forward to future ‘messenger of the covenant’ (3:1) who will make God’s people righteous. Malachi teaches us not to be lukewarm about God, but...

David speaks on faithfulness from Habakkuk. Habakkuk commits his problem to God and chooses to trust in God. As a result, the Babylonians were punished for their wickedness and Habakkuk praises God.

We reflect together on the contribution of Jonah, helping us understand how our acts of obedience need to be matched by hearts of obedience. Pondering how the good news comes close through the life of Jesus via us and to us.

Natalie Worsfold speaks from the book of Nahum, who doesn’t shy away from God’s holiness and His anger and indignation in the face of sin. However, Nahum helps us see the beauty and power of God at work by also highlighting God’s response of comfort and patience.

Heather Harper speaks from the book of Amos on God's justice: Amos was a land owner and a shepherd. His message held Israel to account, to show them God’s standards and how they had fallen short. He speaks into issues of materialism, injustice and immorality. He tells Israel how God upholds good throughout the world (9:7-8) and seeks his people to uphold justice and righteousness.

Natalie kicks off out new sermon series 'Return to God'. Over summer, we will look into the minor prophets in the Old Testament. These books are often thought of in terms of the judgement of God, they also teach us about the heart of God to see His people turn back to Him. This week we look at Joel.

Sam Brown speaks from Matthew 28:16-20 on these final words of Jesus in Matthew’s gospel - reminding us of the authority and power with which we are commissioned to make disciples of all nations. As part of our call to make disciples we are to baptise and teach. We do this in the knowledge and with the assurance of the presence of Jesus with us. Who has God put on our hearts to share the gospel wi...

George Eapen speaks from Matthew 26: 6 – 13 on the importance of worship; even more important than serving the poor is our worship of Jesus. Mary pours extravagant perfume over Jesus and washes His head. In this act of worship, we are challenged to ask the question: how much do we prioritise our worship of Jesus over and above all else? How can we lavish our love on Jesus?

Dan Bright speaks from Matthew 25: 31 - 46 about compassion: feeding the hungry, caring for the refugees and visiting those in prison are all part of what it means to be a disciple. Jesus tells us that in serving others in this way, we are serving and worshipping Jesus himself. How are we obeying these challenging words of Jesus in our lives?

Natalie Worsfold speaks from Matthew 25: 1 - 13 on being ready for Jesus's return. We do not know the hour or the day, but we are to be people who are ready for that day when He will work out His perfect judgement. As shown in the parable of the ten virgins, there is a warning against “becoming drowsy and falling asleep” (25:5). Are we ready for Jesus’ return? Do we live our lives expecting His re...

Natalie Worsfold speaks from Matthew 23: 1 - 12 on how we need to guard ourselves from unauthentic teaching, so our words of worship match our actions. Do we show Jesus to the world through our humility or self-importance? Do we practise what we preach?
