“Walking In Wisdom” | Ephesians 5 Vs 15-21 - Ephesians 20.07.2025

In this message, we unpack what it really means to walk in wisdom, especially in a world that’s full of distractions, danger, and foolishness. Pulling from Paul’s words in Ephesians 5, we explore three key marks of a wise, Spirit-filled life: walking carefully, welcoming the Spirit’s control, and living a life of joyful worship and humility. This isn’t about head knowledge—it’s about a life that r...

“What Would Jesus Do?” | Philippians 2 - Guest Preachers 13.07.2025

Imitate Jesus. Be a foot washer.

“Walking in The Light” | Ephesians 5 Vs 3-14 - Ephesians 06.07.2025

This message challenges us to leave behind the secret sins that thrive in the dark and walk boldly in the light of Christ. Based on Ephesians 5, we talk about what it means to live as children of light in a world that often celebrates the very things God warns us about. From how we talk, to how we think, to how we live, the light of Christ changes everything. We’re called to shine—not just for our...

“Walk in Love” | Ephesians 5 Vs 1-2 - Ephesians 29.06.2025

Everybody’s got their own walk, but the Bible talks about walking as a way of life—how we live day to day. In this message from Ephesians 5 Vs 1-2, we’re kicking off a new series about what it means to walk as followers of Jesus. We're called to walk in love—not to earn God’s love, but because we already have it. This week, we looked at three truths that help us live that out: being positioned as...

“New Words for a New Heart” | Ephesians 4 Vs 29-32 - Ephesians 15.06.2025

This week we wrap up our “New Life” series with a focus on our words. In “New Words for a New Heart,” we talk about how our speech reflects our heart—and how Christ calls us to use our words to build, not break. Paul tells us to trash the rotten stuff like gossip, slander, and bitterness, and instead speak life, grace, and forgiveness. This isn’t about being nice—it’s about being new. Jesus didn’t...

“New Shoes For A New Walk” | Ephesians 4 Vs 25-28 - Ephesians 08.06.2025

This message walks through what it looks like to actually live out the new life we have in Christ. Paul gets real practical in Ephesians 4 Vs 25-28 — showing us how the gospel shapes how we speak, how we handle anger, and how we work. These aren’t just rules to follow — they’re transformations that flow from who we are in Jesus. It’s not about trying harder; it’s about being changed from the insid...

“Off with the Old, On with the New” | Ephesians 4 Vs 20-24 - Ephesians 01.06.2025

This message continues our walk through Ephesians 4. After last week’s warning about the danger of drifting into a hardened heart, this week we’re focusing on the positive change Christ calls us to. Paul shows us what it means to learn Christ, leave behind the old life, and live out the new one. Being a follower of Jesus isn’t just about stopping bad habits—it’s about walking in a completely new i...

"No Turning Back" | Ephesians 4 Vs 17–19 - Ephesians 25.05.2025

In this message, “No Turning Back,” we explore Ephesians 4 Vs 17–19, where Paul issues a strong call not to return to our old ways of living. Spiritual decay is often gradual, a slow hardening of the heart that numbs us to sin and distances us from God. But in Christ, we are new creations—called to remember who we are, recognise the danger of a calloused heart, recoil from sin, and resolve to live...

“Built To Last” | Ephesians 4 Vs 11-16 - Ephesians 11.05.2025

In this message we look at how Jesus is building His church with true structural integrity—not with cheap materials or shortcuts. From Ephesians 4, we explore how the church is called to grow into Christ through truth and love. Our method is truth, our mode is love, and our model is Christ. This sermon reminds us that Scripture is not in competition with Jesus—it reveals Him. Real spiritual growth...

“Built For Connection” | Ephesians 4 Vs 11-16 - Ephesians 04.05.2025

This week, we’re reminded that God didn’t design us to grow in isolation. We were built for connection. Ephesians 4 shows that real maturity happens when we stay joined together, each part doing its share. Disconnection might feel easier when we’re hurt or tired—but it stunts our growth and weakens the body. The Church grows when we speak the truth in love, stay connected, and bring what only we c...

“Every Member A Minister” | Ephesians 4 Vs 11-16 - Ephesians 27.04.2025

Jesus didn’t just save us to sit — He saved us to serve! In this sermon, we talk about how Christ gives His Church leaders to equip every believer for ministry. We are reminded that ministry isn’t for a few “professionals” — every believer is called to be a minister, using their gifts to build up the Body of Christ in love. It’s not about titles or positions; it’s about serving with whatever God h...

“Because He Lives” | 1 Corinthians 15 Vs 12–20 - The Cross 20.04.2025

Some in Corinth believed this life was all there is—that resurrection was off the table. Paul shatters that idea with a bold, hope-filled declaration: Christ is risen. And because He lives, everything changes. In this message, we look at how the resurrection of Jesus meets our deepest needs, gives us rock-solid security, and fills us with unshakable hope.

“Stronger Stuff” | John 1 Vs 29 - The Cross 18.04.2025

In this week’s message, we look at the accidental truth-tellers leading up to the cross. From Caiaphas to the angry crowd, and even the mockers at Calvary—people who were trying to shut Jesus down actually ended up speaking the gospel out loud. They didn’t know it, but God was working right through their rebellion. This sermon reminds us that nothing can derail God's plan—not people, not sin, not...

“Who Is This?” | Matthew 21 Vs 10-11 - The Cross 13.04.2025

In "Who Is This?", we look at the scene in Matthew 21 when Jesus enters Jerusalem and the city is shaken—literally and spiritually. The people ask, “Who is this?” and give an answer that falls short. This message calls us to not settle for a shallow view of Jesus. Do we see Him clearly? Do we understand the weight of our sin? Do we hear His call? We explore how the cross, the bitterness of sin, an...

“The Gifts of The King” | Ephesians 4 Vs 7-10 - Ephesians 06.04.2025

This week we’re talking about what it means to be gifted by the King Himself. In Ephesians 4, Paul moves from unity to uniqueness—showing that every believer has been given grace according to Christ’s own measure. These aren’t random talents or personal achievements; they’re intentional, Spirit-given tools for building the Church. Jesus didn’t just save us—He equipped us. And the gifts He gives ar...

“Seven Ones To Make Us One” | Ephesians 4 Vs 3-6 - Ephesians 30.03.2025

This message, Walking in Oneness, is all about the call to unity in the body of Christ. In Ephesians 4 Vs 3-6, Paul doesn’t suggest we pursue unity—he urges it. We’re reminded that we don’t create unity; God already did that through the Spirit. Our job is to protect and live it out. From the seven-fold foundation of oneness (one body, Spirit, hope, Lord, faith, baptism, and Father) to the daily ef...

“Marks of a Worthy Walk” | Ephesians 4 Vs 2 - Ephesians 23.03.2025

This week we’re talking about what it means to walk worthy of the calling we’ve received. Paul doesn’t start with doing big things—he starts with how we treat people. Humility, gentleness, patience, and love aren't just nice ideas—they’re the marks of someone walking like Jesus. When we walk this way, it sets us apart in a world that’s tired of fake and craving something real. These marks build up...

“Walk Worthy” | Ephesians 4 Vs 1 - Ephesians 16.03.2025

The word "THEREFORE" is the bridge between what we believe and how we live. In Ephesians 4 Vs 1, Paul urges us to "walk worthy" of our calling, connecting deep theological truths to everyday obedience. Just like an army needs bridges to advance, our faith needs the connection between belief and action. Are we walking in a way that reflects the weight of the gospel, or are we stuck on one side of t...

“To Him Be Glory” | Ephesians 3 Vs 14-21 - Ephesians 09.03.2025

Paul ends his prayer in Ephesians 3 with a powerful doxology, declaring that all glory belongs to God in the church, through Christ, for all generations, forever. This message unpacks what it means to live for God’s glory—how the church is a display of His greatness, how Christ is the source of that glory, and how it extends beyond our lifetime into eternity. Our faith isn’t just about us; it’s ab...

“Exceedingly Abundantly” | Ephesians 3 Vs 20-21 - Ephesians 02.03.2025

God is not limited by our small prayers or limited thinking—He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or imagine! In this sermon, we explore Paul’s powerful words in Ephesians 3 Vs 20-21 and what it means to ask boldly, think greatly, and live powerfully. When we pray, are we expecting big things from God? Are we limiting our faith by what seems possible? Today, we’ll be challenged...

“The Power That Works In Us” | Ephesians 3 Vs 14-21 - Ephesians 23.02.2025

Many churches today focus on strategy, branding, and growth models, but true power comes from God alone. Ephesians 3 reminds us that we are strengthened through prayer, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and grounded in love—not by our own efforts, but by God's mighty work in us. We don’t have what it takes to live the life God calls us to on our own, but He gives us everything we need. Paul’s prayer f...

“Qualified & Positioned For Our Cosmic Mission” | Ephesians 3 Vs 1-13 - Ephesians 09.02.2025

In this sermon, we explore how God has qualified and positioned us for a cosmic mission far beyond what we often imagine. Paul reveals the mystery of Christ: that through His death and resurrection, both Jews and Gentiles have been united as fellow heirs in God’s kingdom. The church plays a crucial role in making God’s wisdom known to spiritual powers in heavenly places. We also learn from Paul’s...

MAKING ROOM "The Power of Hospitality" | Genesis 18 Vs 1-10 - Guest Preachers 02.02.2025

In this sermon from Pastor Ken McDonald, we dive into “The Power of Hospitality” and its crucial role in the church today. Using the story of Abraham from Genesis 18 Vs 1-10, we explore how his open heart and willingness to welcome strangers brought unexpected blessings. Join us as we unpack how hospitality isn’t just a gesture, but a Kingdom principle that can transform lives and communities.

“Okay, So, What Are We Waiting For?” | John 15 Vs 1-8 - Guest Preachers 26.01.2025

Ray Lyell delivers a challenging message from John 15:1-8, encouraging believers to abide in Christ and live out their faith now, not waiting for heaven to begin truly living.

“Continue to Live Your Lives in Him” | Colossians 2 Vs 6-8 - Guest Preachers 19.01.2025

John Wingfield preaches from Colossians 2:6-8, encouraging believers to continue walking in Christ, rooted, built up, and established in the faith. Discover how to live a life abounding in thanksgiving and grounded in truth.
