Sunnyhill Church Messages

Bringing the 'Victorious' series to a close, Adam reminds us that 'God is Faithful' - when we are tempted He won't let us be tempted beyond what we are able to resist AND He will always provide a way out. We can choose to not gratify the desires of the flesh by walking with the Holy Spirit.

In this message Dom looks at how the world’s view of freedom differs from how the Kingdom sees freedom. Modern society and secular culture is removing all boundaries in a bid to experience freedom yet it is only getting more enslaved. How should we respond as the church? Listen to the message to find out.

Continuing our "Victorious" series, Adam looks at the third temptation of Jesus - The Lust of the Eyes - temptations that appeal to our our desires and ambitions. Part of Jesus' purpose was to reclaim the Kingdoms of the world and that's what the devil was offering. Jesus' stronger desire was for a right relationship with God his Father. In the end, by resisting temptation, Jesus received both - a...

'It was for freedom that Christ set you free'! Richard continues our 'Freedom Sessions' series by looking at the importance of fighting for our freedom. Yes - God has set us free but that doesn't mean we don't fight for it in our everyday lives.

In the second part of Freedom Sessions Dom looks at the story of the Exodus as an example of the journey every Christian must go on. The Hebrews left Egypt physically but it took decades to leave mentally. Christians must come uncoupled from the systems and structures of the world in order to experience the fullest extent of freedom available to us. We cannot enjoy Canaan without leaving Cairo.

In the first message of this series Dom talks about how Freedom in Christ is intrinsically linked to our identity and our understanding of who we are. To help drive this point home Dom tells a compelling story of an acrobat who due to his environment and circumstances didn’t know who he was and what he was capable of. If you feel as though you are not fully free in life, this series will serve you...

Continuing our 'Victorious' series, Adam explores the temptation of presuming on God - the pride of life - making plans and then assuming God will show up to bless them. He is faithful and will always provide a way out of our temptations but he won't always bail us out of the consequences of our stupid/sinful choices.

In this message Dom looks at how sometimes ‘whatever happens.’ ‘Whatever’ speaks to the unexpected and often unfair challenges and hardships we face in life. Just because we’re going through something doesn’t mean God sent it our way, it just means that we live in a fallen world where bad things happen to ‘good’ people. The intent of this message is to liberate you from the idea that you are outsi...

Continuing our series looking at how to overcome the Power of Temptation, Adam encourages to find a stronger desire than the desire to sin. The desire to not let temptation rob us of our future, to rob us of the future of those around us or to rob us of our faith.

In this message, Dom talks about the role of tests and trials in our lives. God tests us, Satan tests us and people test us. Tests are not our opposition to growth, they are our opportunity for it. A life filled with tests has the potential for a life to be filled with testimony. Find out the 6 tips Dom offers on how we can respond to tests a better way.

Beginning a new series: 'Victorious' Adam references Paul's first letter to the Corinthians (15:57) - God gives us the victory in Jesus Christ. We need to learn how to resist and defeat the temptations that crop up in our day to day lives. Jesus went before us and gained the victory over the devil's temptations in the wilderness. He equips us to do the same!

Sometimes the next thing God has for us can be hard to move into. And yet in order for life not to become stale or apathetic, breaking camp is often required. You can’t step into the next… if you're stuck in camp. Breaking camp is about leaving behind what was, and actively moving into the next thing God has for you. 

Continuing the message from last week, Adam & Geoff explore healing from scripture and discover how communion is relevant to the forgiveness of our sins and the healing of our bodies.

In this week's message Richards helps us think through how to find relational health from 1 John 4: 19-21 and how finding health in our relationships leads us to become love machines.

Continuing our 'Back to School' series, we look at Jesus' promises regarding our physical health. Healing and wholeness are part of our inheritance as children of God. How can we find the faith to raise our expectation for healing?

In this message Dom looks at the first step of becoming financially healthy.  We believe the principle of tithing and first fruits is timeless and holds the key to unlocking the blessing of God in our life.  Looking at what the scriptures say, Dom explores how seeing finances through the lens of the Kingdom leads to great peace, good practice and genuine prosperity. 

Continuing our 'Back to School' series, developing skills today that will help our tomorrow. Adam speaks into our Financial health. Remembering that this is a mind issue rather than a maths issue, we are encouraged to develop contentment, integrity, generosity and a genuine trust in God.

In today's message Dom addresses the area of Emotional health. Most people allow their emotions and feelings to run like wild horses. However, the Bible teaches us we are to lead our feelings rather than be led by them. This message is both insightful to the human condition and practical - learning how we might find a way forward in a world full of things to worry and stress about.

Emotions and emotional health issues are here to stay.  It’s time we, the church, talked about how to process and use our emotions in a way that reflects the perfect example of Jesus.  Pastor Fru explores practical, realistic steps to ‘take captive every loose thought, emotion and impulse and make it obedient to Christ.’

Continuing our 'Back to School' series, Colin & Jo remind us that there is a difference between being spiritual and actually being Spiritually healthy. When it comes to our Physical bodies we don’t necessarily choose a healthy diet...the choices we make matter! The same is true of our Spiritual life.

Continuing our 'Back to School' series, Adam looks at our Spiritual Health. What did Jesus mean by saying "If anyone is thirsty, they should come to me and drink"? Believing in Jesus and in his promises is the first step to living 'Life in all it's fullness'.

Beginning our new series -'Back to School' - JJ asks the question: Is Jesus your Lord or your Life Coach? The way you see yourself, affects the way you treat yourself. How do we treat ourselves in light of our new identity in Christ?

Beginning our new series - 'Back to School', Adam examines the parable of the Good Samaritan and sees how Jesus redefines the concept of loving our neighbour.

Jesus came to fulfil the law and He did that perfectly.  However, following the law only helps us live a life that God doesn't 'hate'.  How can we live a life that God loves?  By taking it up a notch: reaching for the next step.  In this homage to Pastor Phil,  Pastor Fru explores how Matthew 5 helps us move from obedience to the Law to living according to God's principals...

In this message Dom talks about how intentional living could be the way out of the rut you think you’re in. As believers we are meant to build culture not be formed by it. Looking at the cultural reformation in Ephesus we see how it all began in the heart of Paul. You’ll never change the city unless you let Jesus change you.
