This message calls the church to joyful, faith-filled generosity, rooted in a deep love for the local church as God’s family. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 3, it highlights the Apostle Paul’s heart for believers and challenges us to see our role in the ongoing story of the church - investing not just financially, but spiritually in future generations. From buildings to youth and student ministry, t...

This Spring Gift Campaign is all about strengthening our church. In this episode, Matt is joined by Kate Ball, who steadfastly leads our Buildings Team. This Spring we are praying and giving into the continued development of dream projects, as well as the less-glamourous maintenance and behind-the-scenes problem solving that goes on to empower and enable our ministries. The Lord has entrusted thes...

This sermon from Acts 18 explores how people respond to the voice of God. Using Paul’s ministry in Corinth, it contrasts those who rejected the message of Jesus because they trusted in their own righteousness with those who humbly received it and believed. The message emphasizes that spiritual “deafness” often comes from pride and self-sufficiency, while true life comes from recognizing our need f...

This message explores Acts 17, where the Apostle Paul arrives in Athens and is deeply moved by a city full of idols. Instead of condemning people, Paul engages them with compassion, reasoning with their culture and pointing them to the truth of Jesus Christ. The sermon draws parallels between ancient Athens and modern cities like Brighton, showing how idols today can take the form of money, pleasu...

This year we want to raise money to hire a SEND specialist onto our staff team to equip and empower our ministry, and ensure we are as inclusive as we can be in our kids and youth work. God is doing amazing things in and through our church, i...

In this message from Acts 17, we explore Paul’s “missional masterclass” as he proclaims Jesus in Thessalonica and Berea, facing both revival and fierce opposition. This preach reminds us that every Christian is a missionary - whether called to go or to stay - sent by God to reach their city with the gospel. Through the example of the noble Bereans, we’re challenged to value biblical truth over per...

In this powerful message from Acts 16, we explore how the “gospel earthquake” transforms lives, communities, and cultures. Just as an earthquake shakes foundations, the power of Jesus displaces idols, breaks chains, opens prison doors, and replaces fear with faith. Through Paul and Silas’ imprisonment, worship, and miraculous deliverance, we see that God’s power brings freedom, restores identity,...

In this message, we explore how the gospel first reached Europe and what true faithfulness looks like in action. From Timothy’s willingness to sacrifice personal rights for the sake of Christ, to Paul’s deep dependence on the Holy Spirit’s leading, to Lydia’s generous hospitality that helped establish the church in Philippi, we see powerful examples of lives surrendered to Jesus. Above all, this s...

This sermon from Acts 15 explores a pivotal moment in the early church, asking what the gospel really is and how God’s people are meant to live together. It challenges two common threats to faith today - individualism and legalism - showing that we are saved by grace alone, not by our works, and saved together as one unified people in Christ. Through the work of Jesus on the cross, believers are b...

This sermon from Acts 13 explores Paul’s message in the synagogue, showing that the resurrection of Jesus is not a symbol or idea, but a historical fact and the fulfilment of God’s promises in Scripture. Neville explains how the resurrection stands at the centre of the Christian faith, changing everything by bringing real hope, certainty, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of personal, bodily li...

This message explores Acts 13 and asks a vital question: what is the church for? Focusing on the start of Paul’s first missionary journey, it highlights the church’s identity as a diverse, Spirit-filled community united under Christ. The preach looks at how The Gospel brings people of different backgrounds together, how prayer and worship shape the life of the church, and how the Holy Spirit calls...

This preach explores how God works through both the big gatherings of the church and the small, everyday relationships that shape real discipleship. Drawing from Acts 2 and the example of Priscilla and Aquila, Paul reflects on years of church life, obedience, and church planting, reminding us that growth comes through doing life together. He calls the church to move from spectating to participatin...

This Christmas message explores the “unbelievable” elements of the nativity story - stars, wise men, angels, prophecy, and dreams - and shows how they all point to Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 2, Tobi Ford-Western highlights how God uses both science and the supernatural to lead people from every background to Christ, contrasting the seeking faith of the wise men with the indifference of those who...

In this preach, Matt concludes The Truth series by emphasizing that Jesus himself is the ultimate truth, and that Christians are called to hold fast to the gospel while avoiding distractions from false ideas or societal trends. Sharing Jesus effectively involves both living a Jesus-shaped life—demonstrating peace, grace, and hope in daily challenges—and speaking about the gospel from personal expe...

This message explores Jesus’ call to worship in spirit and in truth, using His encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. It reminds us that every human being is made for worship, and that our hearts naturally drift toward false gods - identity, success, beauty, power - unless we return to the One we were created for. True worship requires both truth - knowing who God really is, and Spirit -...

The month of November is the time for our Care Campaign and in this powerful message from Isaiah 61, Tim unpacks the good news of Jesus - the one who binds up the brokenhearted, lifts the poor, and restores devastated lives. We explore how Christ’s mission becomes our mission through the Holy Spirit, and how the church is called to reflect His compassion in practical ways.

In this message, Tobi continues The Truth series with a sermon titled “Walking in the Truth.” Drawing from Psalm 86:11, he explores what it truly means to walk with God - through joy, pain, stumbling, standing firm, and even seasons of waiting. With honesty and hope, Tobi reminds us that Jesus not only invites us to walk with Him but has already walked the path before us. Whether you’re running st...
