The Community Church: Sermons and teaching

 In this sermon, John unpacks Luke 15 and the parable often called “The Prodigal Son,” showing that it is ultimately a revelation of the Father’s heart. Through the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, we see a God who watches, waits, runs, restores, and celebrates when the lost come home. The message also challenges us not to live with the cold distance of the older brother, but to catch...

In this message, we explore the tension between our plans and God’s sovereignty, looking at how Jesus lived with both intentional rhythm and complete openness to the leading of the Father. Through moments from the life of Jesus, particularly His encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, we see that kingdom ministry is often found not in perfectly controlled schedules, but in holy interruptions...

In this message, Tom Price explores the questions, doubts, needs and longings we all carry, showing that Jesus is not afraid of them. Through the story of the man with leprosy in Mark 1, Tom reminds us that Jesus is willing, compassionate and powerful to meet us where we are. This message is an invitation to bring our questions honestly to God, to see Christian faith not as a leap in the dark, but...

Our lives are a mission from the Lord. Every day, in every place, we are called to carry His love, His truth, and His light. It’s not just about where we go, but how we live!

Easter Sunday message, He is Risen!

Becoming what we are: A royal priesthood. We are called to live out the identity God has already spoken over us. In 2 Peter 2:9 we’re reminded that we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation — set apart to declare the praises of the One who called us out of darkness into His marvellous light. This is about stepping into who we already are in Christ . And in that, we carry confidence...

 This Sunday we heard powerful testimonies from our Young Adults about the Awaken Weekend Away. It was so encouraging to see how they came back refreshed, strengthened, and full of faith for what God is doing next. 🙌 

Here are some prophetic words spoken over the church recently! It was a time to reflect and understad the Lord's direction for us as a church family.

From shepherd to king, the life of David reminds us that every season has purpose. His victories, failures, worship, and repentance all pointed beyond himself—to the eternal Kingdom of God and the coming of Jesus Christ. Even at the end of his life, David’s story wasn’t about an ending, but about a promise fulfilled. 

Following the story of the man after God's heart, Malcolm Bisset explores what it means for us to give God all our heart, body and soul.

 Through the painful story of David and Absalom, this message explores the lessons of God’s Kingdom revealed in moments of betrayal, loss, and deep sorrow. David’s response to rebellion, broken relationships, and suffering shows us how God shapes His servants, establishes His Kingdom, and remains sovereign even when everything seems to fall apart. In times of pain, God is still teaching, ruling, a...

The story of David and Bathsheba reminds us that the Kingdom of God is not built by perfect people, but by repentant hearts. Even in the midst of sin, guilt, and consequences, God wrote a story of redemption. Where failure seemed to have the final word, grace spoke louder. God does not ignore sin, but turns repentance into restoration and purpose. In His Kingdom, our falls do not define the end. R...

Mephibosheth’s story shows us how mercy changes everything. He was living in weakness and obscurity, yet David chose to show him kindness and restore what had been lost. That moment wasn’t about his condition, but about the heart of the king. In the same way, God meets us with mercy every day. Through Jesus, we see a love that doesn’t turn away from our brokenness, but moves towards it. Christ was...

This message explores God’s covenant with David and the way Old Testament promises often have both an immediate and a greater future fulfillment in Christ. Using the image of a mountain range and a “valley of time,” it reminds us that delays do not mean denial. Even when God’s promises seem cut down to a stump, the root is still alive. Jesus, the Son of David, is the ultimate fulfillment of every...

In this message, we hear a powerful message about belonging . Kathy Chapman shares her own journey — from feeling out of place, insecure, and unsure, to realizing that God had placed her exactly where she was meant to be. Through the story of Jesus’ birth, the disciples, and her personal experiences, she reminds us that Christmas is God’s announcement that there is room for every one of us . You b...

Reflecting on the Kingdom together as a family! We had a beautiful morning of pausing and reflecting on all that God has been teaching us about His Kingdom through the life of David. We looked back at the journey we’ve been on, seeing how God has been shaping us through lessons of waiting, trusting, lamenting, community, covenant friendship, obedience, honesty, and faith. From caves to kingship, f...

In this message we explore how God formed David in hiddenness, taught him to love his enemies, and led him into kingdom advancement. A powerful reflection on waiting for God’s timing, dealing with pain, and trusting the Holy Spirit to shape our lives. 

In this message, we explore David in the Wilderness, a powerful picture of how God builds His Kingdom through broken people. From the Cave of Adullam, David gathered the distressed and rejected, and God transformed them into mighty warriors.  Just as He did then, God is still turning caves of struggle into places of strength and purpose today. 

In this message Roger Aubrey, explores the deep, covenant friendship between David and Jonathan as a model for true, godly relationships. Drawing from 1 Samuel and the teachings of Jesus, he unpacks five key aspects of kingdom friendship: vulnerability, trust, integrity in speech, honesty, and encouragement. He challenges us to become friends who can be trusted, who speak well of others, who tell...

In this moving and faith-filled message, Geoff and Pam share the powerful lesson that mirrors how God sees each of us. We explore how the opinions and judgments of others can weigh us down like “gray dots,” dimming the light God placed within us. But when we turn to our Maker, we discover our true identity: chosen, redeemed, and loved beyond measure. This talk is an invitation to shed false labels...

Geoff unpacks the power of God’s light—from the moment He spoke “Let there be light” into the chaos of creation, to the miracle of Him shining that same light into human hearts through Christ. Drawing from Genesis, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jesus’ words in Matthew 5, Geoff challenges us to arise and shine in a dark world—not hiding the light within us, but letting it radiate in our workplaces,...
