Sunnyhill Church Messages

What if real freedom isn’t doing whatever you want, but living the life Jesus won for you? In this powerful message, Fabiano Aljava explores how sin traps us in a cycle of shame, guilt, condemnation and separation — and how Jesus completely breaks that cycle through the cross. This is a message full of hope, freedom and fresh perspective that will help you stop living weighed down and start walkin...

Using Isaiah 49:15 , we explore the powerful image God uses to describe His love. The Bible points to a mother’s love as one of the strongest bonds in human experience —a love marked by nurture, protection, sacrifice, and compassion. Yet even that incredible love is only a glimpse of the faithful, unforgetting love of God . Whether Mother’s Day is a joyful day for you or a painful one, this messag...

This Sunday’s message,  “Finding Freedom – First and Finally,”  takes a deep look at how spiritual principalities operate — the unseen powers that demand our allegiance through culture, institutions, and everyday pressures. Through the lens of Paul's letters to the Ephesians and Galatians, we explore the reality of rulers and authorities that seek to re-enslave believers — and the incomparably...

What if the door to freedom is already open… but we’re the ones still sitting in the cage? In this message, Dan Jackson explores how Jesus has already set us free and what it really looks like to step out and experience that freedom in everyday life. Discover why freedom grows through trust, risk, and a deeper relationship with Jesus.

In this faith-building message, we explore what it means to trust God’s sovereignty and provision, even when we don’t understand the outcome.   Drawing from Exodus 16, and Ephesians 3, this sermon reminds us that God’s mercy is new every morning. Just as God provided manna in the wilderness, He still gives us fresh grace for each day. We are called not to live on yesterday’s blessings, but to trus...

In Part 2 of our  Finding Freedom  series, Adam explores  “Vapour & Vanity”  — the kind of freedom that looks real but disappears when you try to hold it. Through the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, we uncover how money, comfort, control and self-definition promise freedom but often leave us chasing the wind. Discover the difference between fragile freedom and the true freedom found in Christ.

Today at our Poole Campus, we were honoured to hear from Dave Brackenridge, Pastor of Home Church Scotland and CEO of Youth for Christ UK.   Dave preached a powerful and timely message titled “Don’t Miss This Moment.” Drawing from the life of Joseph, he reminded us that God is not only faithful to His  promises , but deeply present in the  process . Even in seasons of pain, opposition, and waiting...

We wrap up our  Teach Us to Pray  series with Part 7:  “It’s Good to Talk”  as Dan unpacks what it means to  “pray without ceasing” —not with fancy words, but with real, honest conversation with God. Dan explores the power of spoken words, building intimacy with God, and even learning to  be still and listen . Expect practical wisdom, and a timely reminder: God actually  wants  to talk with you—an...

We conclude our AWAKEN series by exploring what it means to pray with authority.   Salvation in Christ is more than being saved from something—it’s being saved  to  and  for  something. In Jesus, we receive forgiveness, healing, purpose, freedom, hope, identity, and peace—and authority that flows from sonship, not status.   Jesus teaches that authority is always tied to assignment. From Mark 13 to...

What does it really mean to pray and how should we approach God?   In this message from our AWAKEN series, Phil explores the mystery and gift of prayer: that we can speak to the God who spoke the world into being. While Scripture doesn’t give a formula for guaranteed results, it does invite us into a growing, living relationship with God.   Looking at Luke 11 and Jesus’ teaching on prayer, we’re r...

Are you praying to a small God… or remembering who you’re really talking to?  In this message, we explore why God is grieved when we forget His power — and how shrinking our expectations can limit our prayers. Get ready to lift your eyes, grow your faith, and start praying  bigger prayers to a bigger God .

In this practical and encouraging message, Kevin shares insights on How to Hear God, helping believers grow in confidence and clarity when it comes to recognizing God’s voice in everyday life. Kevin explores three key ways God speaks to us: through reading and reflecting on Scripture, through meaningful fellowship and community with other believers, and through the gift of the prophetic. With a gr...

We all pray… but what do we do when God’s answer isn’t what we hoped for? In this message, we explore the  yes ,  no , and  not yet  of prayer and how God invites us to respond in every season. Whether you’re celebrating a breakthrough or waiting for one, this talk will encourage you to keep trusting, worshipping, and praying.

Is revival really happening — and are we ready to carry it?    In this powerful message from our AWAKEN series, Pastor Gabi challenges us to wake up to the call, cost, and privilege of praying for revival. Drawing on Scripture, personal testimony, and a striking visual analogy, this message reminds us that revival is heavy, not easy, and cannot be carried by a few for long — it requires all of us....

Do you want to move forward in your life this year? In this message, Adam explores Jesus’ words in Matthew 6 and we discover why fasting isn’t about impressing people—it’s about removing distractions so our spirit leads, not our flesh. If you want to “fast forward” your faith, strengthen your prayer life, and pursue real breakthrough, this message will give you practical ways to start.

Join us as we reflect on Jesus’ teaching on prayer from Luke 11. Prayer begins with recognising our need and helplessness in the face of life’s fragility. It is not about technique or having the right words, but about coming honestly before God, aware that we do not have what it takes on our own. This sermon invites us to see prayer not as a way to control outcomes, but as a posture of ongoing dep...

In this message from Ephesians 1, we learn four prayers that reshape everything:  know God more, know His hope, know the riches of belonging to His people, and know His incomparable power for believers . Listen and get encouragement to pray with fresh faith for your life's journey.

There are moments in Scripture when God calls His people to awaken — not because they are rebellious, but because they are tired.   This message centres on Isaiah 52 and God’s command to a weary, captive people:  “Awake, awake… shake off your dust… free yourself from the chains.”  Spoken into a season of loss and discouragement, this call ultimately finds its fulfilment in Jesus and continues to e...

Ever wondered how to actually know God’s will, in your choices, relationships, and everyday life? In this message, we unpack Jesus’ prayer: “ Your kingdom come, Your will be done ” and discover four key ways the Bible talks about God’s will:  Sovereign, Revealed, Permissive, and Personal . Be encouraged: God isn’t playing hide-and-seek—He’s inviting you closer, to trust Him, walk in step with the...

As we step into a new year, we believe God is sounding an alarm to His Church: Wake up.    This message launches our new series AWAKEN, exploring what it means to be spiritually alert in a moment when heaven is leaning in and history is turning.    In Gethsemane, Jesus asks His closest friends for one thing: “Stay here. Watch with Me. Pray.” They loved Him. They were close to Him. And yet—they sle...

Prayer changes everything—but why do we still struggle to pray? In this message, we kick off a brand-new series by looking at Jesus as our model for prayer and discovering why prayer is the foundation of a life that truly works. If you’ve ever believed in prayer but wished your prayer life was stronger, this message is for you.

This Christmas message explores the  Good News of Great Joy for All People , announced by angels to shepherds on a dark hillside. Through stories, laughter, music, and a surprising connection to a simple C major scale, we discover why Jesus’ birth changes everything for everyone. Join us as we celebrate Emmanuel —  God with us  — and acknowledge together:  Joy to the World, the Lord is come!

In this message, we explore the Christmas story through Luke’s Gospel, focusing on the angel’s surprising “sign” to the shepherds: a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.    Far from ordinary, this sign reveals a King born in humility, a Lamb prepared for sacrifice, and a love that is personal and present.    We reflect on:  Why Luke gives the most detailed Christmas account  How the mange...

In a world that tells us happiness is something to chase, achieve, or feel, what if joy is something far deeper? In this powerful and profound message, Jake Parker explores the truth that happiness is circumstantial, but joy is rooted in faith. Happiness shifts with feelings and outcomes — but joy remains, even in the dark, because joy is not a place… joy is a person. Through reflection, and a mov...

Jesus is the Light who steps into real darkness—brokenness, shame, anxiety, and the “copes” we reach for when life hurts. In John 1 and John 8, we see a Saviour who refuses condemnation and instead offers grace, truth, and a new way to live. This Christmas, let’s follow the Light and become lights—bringing hope into homes, parties, and everyday moments.
