Liberti Church Gold Coast Sermons

Galatians 5:25-26 | The Spirit-led life can be summed up in two short yet explosive words: "Yes, Lord." To walk with the Spirit, is the moment-by-moment practice of saying "yes" to His Word and guidance over our own. Because we belong to Christ, we no longer need to grab after self-importance or chase after sinful desires. We have been set free. And the evidence to a watching world, is in the radi...

Galatians 5:16-24 | Experiencing growth in the Christian life doesn’t come without its opposition. The old self, while being dealt a mortal wound, won’t go down quietly. The good news is, as we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can expect to see victory in this battle that produces the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.

Acts 1:4-8, Eph 5:13-15 | To be filled with the Holy Spirit is the experience of personal revival, that overflows into gospel boldness. The good news for every believer is that God does not want your strength to carry out His mission. He wants to give you His.

John 3:1-16 | Christianity is pure miracle from beginning to end. No one enters the kingdom of God on their own merits. Jesus was clear, “You must be born again.” The Bible calls this gift of new life regeneration. Regeneration is an explosion of God’s sovereign grace within, that washes us clean, makes us alive, and turns our eyes to Jesus.

Christmas can be a wonderful time, yet it can also be a difficult time. Where can we look to for hope for a better future this Christmas season? Isaiah 9:6 speaks of a coming Saviour who will bring light into our dark world. Each week we will explore one title of the coming Saviour, “Wonderful Counsellor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Luke 15:11-32 | In the story of the prodigal son, we see a reflection of our waywardness and God's grace-filled reconciliation. Whichever son best represents our hearts, we must look to God's response to the lost soul - being ready to run to him and see him redeemed. Who has God set in your life to pursue?

1 Peter 1:13-16 | To be holy means to be wholly God’s. The pursuit of holiness goes deeper than merely avoiding that which corrupts our character; it includes pursuing that which most satisfies our hearts. Holiness does not rob us of anything - except the sin which seeks to rob us of everything. To pursue holiness is to pursue joy.

Proverbs 1, 8 | "Take my instruction instead of silver, and my knowledge instead of gold. I am better than jewels, all that you may desire cannot compare to me. I have insight. I have strength. I love those who who love me, and all seek me diligently find me. Whoever finds me, finds life." Yours in Christ, Wisdom (Proverbs 8:10, 11, 14, 35)

Daniel 6:1-28 | On both sides of biblical faith are the ditches of fatalism and presumption. Fatalism says, “What will be, will be.” Presumption says, “What I say, will be.” But true faith says, “I trust God, whatever may be.” Daniel, now an old man in his final years, shows us what it looks like to trust God publicly and prayerfully, even under the shadow of life’s most difficult trials.

Daniel 5:1-31 | Just like Belshazzar, the story of humanity has been one of feasting on the edge of the grave. The writing is on the wall and the divine verdict is in: we have been numbered, weighed on God’s scale and found wanting, and are divided. It is here, at the point of despair, that the gospel breaks in with incredible news about what God has done to balance the scales.

Daniel 4:28-37 | The human appetite for glory is as destructive as it is seductive. Nebuchadnezzar discovered what so many others have throughout Scripture and history: that those who exalt themselves destroy themselves. Our hunger for glory will never be satisfied, until like Nebuchadnezzar, we learn to treasure the glory of God above all else.

Daniel 4:1-27 | King Nebuchadnezzar has another frightening dream, and calls on Daniel to provide an interpretation. The dream shows him that he must either renounce his self-righteousness and control to God, or be cut down like the great tree in his dream. Like King Nebuchadnezzar, we are given a warning of judgement coming our way. The good news is we are also given a way out, by heeding God’s w...

Daniel 3:1-30 | In this world Christians can be sure of two things: 1) They will have many fiery trials; 2) God will meet them in the fire. A gospel-shaped people have been given the power to love the world, without bowing to it.

Daniel 2:24-49 | Daniel lived in the kingdom of the world, but he lived for a different King. Brought before a raging Nebuchadnezzar, God gives Daniel insight into both the king’s dream as well as its meaning and prophecies in advance the next four global empires as well as the coming of Christ. The wise men of the kingdom are spared execution, Daniel is promoted, and Nebuchadnezzar confesses, “Tr...

Daniel 2:1-24 | The story opens with a King plagued by nightmares and unable to sleep. Who will bring rest to a restless mind? Where worldly wisdom falls short, Godly revelation comes through. Through Daniel, God revealed a heavenly dream that made sense of King Nebuchadnezzar’s worldly nightmare. One of humanity’s greatest concerns is insecurity that one day our lives will come crumbling down. In...

Daniel 1:1-21 | Daniel and his friends faced a seemingly impossible situation. Removed from their homeland and taken away as captives to Babylon, they now find themselves facing a powerful combination of isolation, indoctrination, seduction, and oppression. Babylon was dedicated to eradicating any remembrance of their true homeland, their true identity, and the true God. And yet in the midst of th...

Prayer is the vehicle God has sovereignly chosen to accomplish His purposes in this world. It is human weakness, leaning on the strength of the Infinite. Pray with us, that God’s Word would continue to speed ahead and be glorified. Pray that we would not lose heart, as we run the long race with our eyes on the prize. Pray that Jesus would direct our hearts and continually redirect our eyes to the...

Ours is a day of great anxiousness. From global unrest, to the rise of terrorism, to the powerful way in which platforms like smart-phones and social media have changed the way we connect, combined with a hundred smaller daily pressures normal to life in this world...there are plenty of reasons to be anxious. How do believer's fight for joy, while living in the cultural smog of anxiety? From Genes...

Jesus talked more about the reality of hell than everyone else in Scripture…combined. While it is true that God is love, it is also true that ‘love’ is not all that God is. God is also holy. And just. Heaven and hell are the results of both His love and His justice. Throughout scripture, we also see that God sends no one to hell against their will. As C.S. Lewis observed, “There are only two kinds...

We live in a world with contested gender theories and sexual ideologies, and the issue surrounding homosexuality has been followed by a shadow of confusion of controversy. Navigating a way forward to best understand our sexuality is a daunting challenge. However, with the unchanging nature of God’s word and the truth of the gospel, we find hope and encouragement. Jesus brings a word confronting re...

We live in a cultural context that often blinds us from our daily need for Jesus. Both materialism and morality can give the illusion of being fulfilled by "the good life"; yet both fall woefully short in the presence of Jesus. He makes clear that these things block us from entering the kingdom. Jesus came to give us something far more satisfying and beautiful than "the good life"; He came to give...

The reality of suffering and evil has scraped and shaped every single one of us. Each of us has shaken our head at the state of the world and wondered, “Why, God?” And yet the problem of suffering and evil is not unique to Christianity; it demands an explanation from every worldview and religion. In this message we see that not only does Christianity give the best explanation of why there is suffe...
