Talks from Sundays

In this mini series we are looking at how to navigate seasons of change. In Joshua 1 the Lord speaks to Joshua and tells him it is time to move and inherit the land. In this talk we consider the importance both as a church family and as individuals, of seeking God’s guidance and learning to hear his voice.

In this sermon, Vahé explains how Jesus, through these parables, is displaying brilliantly the extravagant love of the Father, fully displayed in Jesus and ultimately on the cross. Vahé dives into the parable of the lost sons to unpack the relationships of both sons with their father and explains how we can relate to our Father as sons and daughters.

In this message from John 11 we look at the raising of Lazarus. We see again the importance of faith and how Jesus wants us to trust him today especially in the seasons which are confusing and painful.

In this message we look at Luke 14 and Jesus’ message to the Pharisees the ‘seats of honour.’ We consider the call on us as Christians to be those who don’t make ourselves the centre of the story but rather ‘open the door’ for others.

In this message Gert spoke from Isaiah 49 about the importance of knowing that each of us is called by God.

Vahé explains who children represent in Mark chapters 8 through 10. And what Jesus means when he says that we have to receive the kingdom of God like a little child.

In Mark 1:35-39 Jesus shows us a rhythm of personal intimacy with God through prayer.

In this message we look at how this story speaks of the ‘soul hunger’ we all carry, Jesus’ intent to satisfy that desire, and how he chooses to work with and through the church to do just that.

In this message we consider Jesus’ challenge and invitation to ‘treasure’ the right things and to “store up for yourselves treasures in heaven.” We consider what this means and how what we do about this issue has such a critical impact on our lives.

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.
