Talks from Sundays

Today we celebrate 2 years as a church plant in Rotterdam. In this message we explore the importance of stopping, reflecting , giving thanks and celebrating.

Vahé shares how Jesus’ message to Nicodemus completely shakes his world. He goes on to describe the new life that Jesus offers and how it is radically different and much much better from what our culture has to offer.

In this message we explore the New Testament instruction to ‘Be Baptised’ and why it is such an important symbol, sign and step in the life of a believer.

There is something about Bartimaeus’ shout that stops Jesus, something about the way he reached out that appears to have attract the attention of Jesus. In this message we consider what we can learn from Bartimaeus and his encounter with Jesus, and how Jesus responds in way we don’t expect.

In this message we consider how God at times will send us ‘into the storm’ in order to shape and change us so that we can grow to be who he is calling us to be.

In this message we explore Jesus’ radical desire to ‘seek and save’ lost people, and what a great response to the gospel looks like.

In this message Dean explains that planting a church in Rotterdam involves spiritual warfare and opposition. Therefore, we need to take seriously Paul’s comments (Eph 6) that we are in a battle and learn what it means to live as Christians in light of that.

This is the start of a new series called ‘Jesus Stories’. In this message we explore the significance of Jesus turning gallons of water into the very best wine.

As we give thanks for Easter Sunday and all that it means, we consider Matthew’s account and some of the first ‘resurrection moments’ recorded and what they tell us about the gospel.

This week Chris Taylor preached on the meaning and significance of the cross, and how, as we look towards Easter Sunday, the cross changes everything.

As we build towards Easter, we look at the Last Supper and consider the importance of this meal that Jesus invites his followers to participate in.

In this message, Vahé explains how Jesus announces himself as both the Lamb of God coming to take away the sin of the world and our King. He explains why we need a King, why the gospel of King Jesus is the best news ever and how can we live in response to his kingship.

In the final message of the series, Phil unpacks the conviction we carry, that God has called us together in Rotterdam for great kingdom purpose.

In this message, we explore what it means to be a people who believe in and experience the presence of God. We look at the impact this has on how we are the church together and how we live out our lives as followers of Jesus.

In this message, Vahé explains the role of discipline in spiritual formation. He encourages to adopt the practice of solitude and silence as a path to greater freedom and deeper communion with God.

In this message we look at how we are called to be believers, and how faith is the critical quality of the people of God.

We are starting a new series looking at the kind of church we want to be. In this message Phil Varley talks about how the church should always be a place where people matter.

In this final message of the series, we look at what it means when Jesus calls his disciples to firstly leave their former lives and then to “go” out into the world and to bear fruit.

Jesus tells his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. In this message Phil speaks about the challenge and opportunity of waiting, and how the Spirit is present to help us ‘wait well.’
