17th August 2025 - Sunday Service (Ready to Listen, Watch & Read)
This sermon discusses the gifts of the Holy Spirit and their role within the Christian faith delving into a summary of a previous sermon on "no half measures," advocating for total commitment to Christ. The core of the discussion then shifts to the spiritual gifts mentioned in Paul's letters, particularly 1 Corinthians 12, emphasising that each believer receives at least one gift for the purpose of helping one another and serving God. Specific gifts likewise advice, special knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, and discernment are explored, with the speaker highlighting that these gifts, unlike the fruit of the Spirit, are to be developed and actively used for the benefit of the church and the wider community.
10th August 2025 - Sunday Service (Ready to Listen, Watch & Read)
This sermon, titled "No Half Measures," advocates for total commitment in the Christian faith, exploring what this entails through three main sections. Firstly, it examines Moses as an Old Testament example of commitment, discussing his leadership qualities and foresight in appointing a successor. Secondly, the speaker addresses how individuals respond to Jesus's call, contrasting enthusiastic but uncalculating followers with those who offer excuses, ultimately emphasising that true commitment means living a transformed life without reservation. Finally, the sermon delves into the concept of freedom in Christ, differentiating spiritual freedom from political or self-indulgent freedoms, and concluding that this genuine freedom, reflected in the "fruit of the Spirit," is the ultimate expression of Christian commitment.
3rd August 2025 - Brian.S - Filled with the Spirit (Ready to Listen, Watch & Read)
This sermon explores the biblical account of Saul's conversion and Ananias's role, using these narratives to illuminate the process of being "filled with the Holy Spirit." The speaker emphasises the dramatic transformation of Saul, an enemy of Jesus, into a devoted follower, highlighting his crucial choice to obey when confronted by Jesus. Concurrently, the sermon stresses the often-overlooked obedience of Ananias, who, despite initial fear, chose to minister to Saul. Ultimately, the core message is that being filled with the Spirit is not solely about sensational experiences but a continuous, active choice to listen and respond obediently to God's voice in daily life, as exemplified by both Saul and Ananias's pivotal decisions.
