Talks from Sundays

In Ruth chapter 3 we see a beautiful picture of redemption. Boaz acts as Ruth’s kinsman-redeemer, stepping in to rescue and restore her. This points us to Jesus, our true Kinsman Redeemer, who comes near to redeem us, cover our shame, and secure our future. Ruth’s story helps us see the wonder of what Christ has done for us.

In the second message of our series on Ruth, we consider the truth that even in the midst of loss, when we cannot see it, God is still at work. Here we explore the question: How do you believe when you cannot see?

In the opening of our series on Ruth, we focus on the reality of suffering. Naomi has experienced almost every loss imaginable, yet even amidst her turmoil and grief, signs of hope begin to emerge. Our own lives can mirror this pattern, we go through seasons of emptiness and challenge. In this message, we will consider suffering, pain, and loss, and explore how, even in the midst of difficulty, Go...

In this sermon, Vahé looks at John 14 along with other texts to describe how we can move from fear to courage. What we need to know and what we need to experience in order to move from fear to courage, courage to face our fears, courage to believe in the promises of God and courage to live the lives Jesus has for us.

Everyone wants to live a life that counts—bold, courageous, and shaped by deep conviction. Yet living that way isn’t easy. In this message, we explore what faith in Jesus really looks like, and how trust in Him is formed and expressed through both the big, defining moments and the small, everyday decisions of life. How do we grow, cultivate, and step into a life truly marked by faith?

So often in leadership, the focus falls on structures, roles, vision, and goals. All of these matter. But there is another aspect of leadership that is sometimes less obvious, harder to define, yet just as important: culture. In this talk, we reflect on what healthy culture looks like, why it shapes people more than we often realise, and how healthy leadership intentionally creates environments th...

In this new season at Redeemer, we’re revisiting the issue of leadership and why it is foundational to church life. In this message we explore the biblical vision for elders and deacons, reframing leadership as servant-hearted responsibility, shared authority, and care for God’s people, so the church can flourish and bless the city.siting the issue of leadership and why it is

In this new season of church life here at Redeemer, we’re revisiting the issue of leadership, and why it is such a foundation issue in church life. In this message, we explore why leadership matters, why it can be sensitive, and how Scripture shapes a vision of leadership rooted in service, character, and humility. Drawing from the life of Jesus and the New Testament, we reflect on what it means t...

In this message we look at Jesus' prayer and teaching about letting go of false humility to ask our Father daily for provision, forgiveness, grace to forgive others, and deliverance from temptation, trusting that He delights to respond.

In this episode of the series Hsoc looks at the next part of the Lord’s prayer and explores what it means to pray for God’s kingdom to come in our lives and in our society.

In this opening message of the series, we explore the importance of prayer in our lives and why Jesus teaches us to begin by knowing God as our Father.

In this message we talk about what the good news of great joy means for us today! We also talk about what we can learn from response of faith that the shepherds showed when they heard the good news.

In this message we reflect on how Jesus brings peace to the world and to our hearts, and how, because he is with us, fear no longer has the final word.

Starting with the angel’s greeting to Mary, “O favoured one,” this message explores what it means to be graced by God before we ever act or respond. We explore Mary’s identity, God’s presence, the fear that often accompanies His call, and the courage it takes to submit and trust.

In this message we explore Matthew’s contrast of Herod, the Magi, and the newborn King, revealing the challenge of Jesus’ authority, the wideness of His mercy, and His call for us to surrender and walk a new way.

As we approach the Advent season and reflect once again on the birth of Jesus, this first message in the series explores what it means to be a people who were “walking in darkness” but have now seen and experienced “a great light.”

In this final message of the series, we explore Jesus’ mission - to bring good news - and our mission - to be sent with that same good news. We look at how vital it is to keep on receiving the Holy Spirit, so that we are empowered to go and share the good news wherever we are.

In this message we explore the call on the Church to love the city. In particular to care for the disadvantaged and the marginalised. We consider what this means for us and how can we each get involved.

In the second of our talks on freedom, we explore the significance of what we truly believe and think, and how we need to learn to replace lies with truth.

In this sermon, Vahe unpacks Jacob's dream where he sees a ladder/staircase linking heaven and earth. He unpacks the extraordinary truth that God comes down the staircase to be with Jacob (Genesis 28:10-22, NRSV). Jesus references this dream in John 1:51 and makes the amazing claim that He is the One who comes down from heaven to be with us. Jesus is God with us. Vahe further describes practices h...

In this message, we explore the meaning of freedom and what it signifies when Jesus proclaims that he has come to bring freedom to the oppressed.

In this message we look again at Jesus’ desire to not only ‘release to captives’ but bring recovery and restoration to our lives. In particular we focus on how learning to forgive others is such a powerful way of experiencing healing in our own lives.

Luke 4 teaches that Jesus has come to bring recovery to our lives. In this sermon, we look at different facets of what that means, including how Jesus restores our identity, our ability to represent God on earth and finally how he has come to make us whole.

As we continue our series on the church being good news in the city, we consider what it means to be a community that helps people come home to God.

In Luke 4 Jesus announces that he has come to being good news to the world, and that part of that good news is ‘ release for the captives.’ In this message we explore what it means to come home to God, and how everyone of us, no matter who we are or what we’ve done, can do that.
