Talks from UNLTD Church Exeter

.

In this UNLTD Vision talk, Matt explores what it means to be a multigenerational family on a mission through Mark 9:30–50 . Jesus catches His disciples arguing about who is the greatest, and instead of humiliating them publicly, He privately and graciously teaches them the upside-down way of the Kingdom: if you want to be first, become the servant of everyone. This talk looks at humility, serving...

In this family-friendly talk from Mark 9:14–29 , Matt explores one of the most honest prayers in the whole Gospel: “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.” As Jesus meets a desperate father and heals his son, we’re reminded that faith is not pretending we have no doubts. Faith is bringing our doubts, fears, and struggles honestly to Jesus and asking Him to meet us there. This talk explores th...

In this talk, Matt opens our Easter series with Palm Sunday in Mark 11:1–11 . As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, we see a King unlike any other: not the conquering ruler people expected, but the peaceful Messiah they desperately needed. This message explores the small acts of obedience that prepare us for bigger moments of faith, the royal authority of Jesus , and the meaning behind the cr...

This Sunday we handed the mic to three brand new preachers as we continued our Mark series in Mark 8 . Connor explores how God guides us (without needing “a voice from the sky”), Mia tackles comfort vs surrender and what it means to take up our cross, and Toby digs into the turning point of Mark’s Gospel: “Who do you say I am?” Honest, bold, and properly encouraging — a brilliant snapshot of what...

In a week full of Valentine’s noise, we go back to the source of love. Anchored in Mark 1:9–11 , we hear the Father’s words over Jesus — “You are my Son, whom I love… with you I am well pleased” — and explore what it means to be fully known and truly loved by God. This talk is for the married, the single, the dating, the healing, the tired, and the hopeful: there is a love deeper than romance, str...

In Mark 7:24–37, Jesus meets two people on the margins: a mother pleading for her daughter, and a deaf man who can barely speak. This talk explores persistent faith without entitlement, and a Saviour who steps close—touching what we’d rather hide—and restores with mercy that points us straight to the cross.

In Mark 7, Jesus exposes the gap between appearance and heart. This talk looks at hypocrisy, worship, and why money is so tightly connected to what we trust, love, and lean on for security. We also share some simple, practical ways to grow in generosity — not to impress anyone, but as an act of surrender and worship.

In this talk from Mark 6, we pick up the story right after the feeding of the 5,000 — and straight into a storm. Jesus sends the disciples out onto the lake, the wind rises, fear kicks in, and then Jesus does the unthinkable: He walks on the water to them. The big question we wrestle with is simple:Why would Jesus send them out if the storm was coming? What we see is something deeply reassuring ab...

In this talk, we dive into one of the most well-known moments in Mark’s Gospel: the feeding of the 5,000 — but we slow down long enough to notice the part we usually rush past. Before the miracle, the disciples are exhausted , hungry , and emotionally spent . Jesus Himself is carrying grief. And yet… when the crowds press in, Jesus doesn’t switch off. He leans in with compassion. This message is f...

Our Sacred YES Means a Holy NO | Mark 6:1–29 | 26.01.26 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Church Exeter What does it actually cost to follow Jesus? In this talk from Mark 6, we explore a simple but confronting truth: every “yes” is also a “no.” Behind every affirmation, there’s a rejection. And when we say “Jesus is Lord,” we’re also putting to death the old way of life where we were in charge. 📖 “A prophet...

In this Christian sermon, Haley unpacks Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7:24 –29, exploring the difference between building your life on sand or on the rock. Storms will come, but a life built on Christ stands firm. Rather than relying on willpower or New Year’s resolutions, this message invites us to build deeper foundations through a daily relationship with Jesus — rooted in trust, faith, and obedien...

Welcome to UNLTD Christmas Carols!

We delve into Mark Chapter 5, where Jesus crosses the Sea of Galilee to confront spiritual darkness in the most unlikely place: a graveyard. We encounter the terrifying reality of the Gerasene demoniac, a man utterly lost and chained, illustrating a truth for all of us: when human interventions fail, Jesus steps in. This sermon explores the power of Jesus over forces that isolate and destroy, symb...

In this special vision Sunday message, Matt steps out of our Mark series to dive into Deuteronomy Chapter 6 and unpack the core "why" behind Unlimited Church's mission.

Unlimited Church is not just a "youth church," but a multigenerational famil...

In this sermon on Mark 3:13-35, Peter explores two revolutionary themes: God's calling of ordinary, flawed people and Jesus's radical redefinition of family. First, Peter looks at the list of the twelve disciples—a "mixed bag" of fishermen, a hated tax collector (Matthew), and unknowns. He argues that God deliberately calls imperfect and unappreciated people into His service, dra...

In this message, Matt dives into Mark 3:1-12, exploring the dramatic moment Jesus heals a man with a withered hand in the synagogue on the Sabbath. This story is more than a miracle; it's a direct confrontation between Jesus's radical compassion and the stubborn, rule-bound hearts of the religious elite (the Pharisees).Matt challenges us to adopt the an expectation that Jesus is about to a...

Matt unpacks three confrontational encounters Jesus has with the religious elite, highlighting a consistent pattern: Jesus acts, gets opposed, and reveals something beautiful about the Kingdom of God. We dive into the scandalous dinner with Levi (who becomes Matthew) the tax collector, the controversy over fasting, and the challenge to the Sabbath law. Discover why Jesus is unafraid of your "...
