Psalm 40 is a wonderful song of thanksgiving as David reflects on what God has done to bring him out of a pit of despair. To get more insight into what David was feeling before his deliverance we tune into Psalms 38 & 39 which describe that in more detail. While our stories might be different, most of us know what it’s like to feel stuck, recognisi…

After celebrating a child dedication earlier in our service, we take a look at Psalm 78 which reflects on the spiritual journey of Israel from the generations since their exodus from Egypt. The psalm has much to teach us about how we can help each successive generation to know God and walk in His ways. It describes the blessings that are experience…

On Palm Sunday we retrace Jesus’ journey from Jericho to Jerusalem with Luke’s gospel as our guide. Luke is very careful to describe both the physical and spiritual journey Jesus took with His disciples and the crowds who flocked to Jerusalem on that day. The crowds were full of anticipation of what would happen when the Messiah rode into Jerusalem…

In the gospels we hear Jesus call His followers to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him (eg: Lk 9:51, 14:23-24). As He shows us what that actually looks like, we realise that none of us is capable of doing it! That’s exactly the point Paul makes in the letter to the Galatians as he addresses those people who are trying to impose Jewish …

After celebrating a baptism and as we prepare to celebrate communion, we take some time to reflect on what Galatians 2:20 teaches us about the life we have through faith in Jesus. It’s not a once-and-done experience, but a continual dying to self so that we might find our life in Christ.על ידי Sermons@Kingsley

After showing his readers how we can be sure that we’re ready to meet Jesus, Jude gives us pastoral wisdom to equip us to help others to ready to meet Him too. In this message we unpack Jude 22-23 and discover some rich symbolism from Zechariah 3 that Jude draws on to help us understand the beauty of the gospel and how we can apply it to ourselves …

As we read through the New Testament we find the Apostles regularly urging Christians to live with eternity in mind. In this message we tune into Jude’s letter to churches which had been infiltrated by false teachers. As he warns of God’s judgement upon them he contrasts this with the confidence we have by remaining in God’s love; and the instructi…

Communion is a significant part of our weekly church gatherings, but there are many different traditions and understandings that surround it. In this message we take a look at the way the Gospels record the Last Supper and Jesus’ institution of communion. We then explore the experience of the Early Church through the book of Acts and the Epistles t…

What is the relationship between my natural family – whatever that might look like – and the family of believers that God connects me to in the Church? Family is God’s design. We learn a lot about how to live together as a church family from our natural families and vice versa. However if we’re not clear about what our each of our families really n…

In the conclusion to our series on Hebrews 10:24, we take a look at how the Apostle Paul carefully considers his dear friends in Philippi as he writes to them to “provoke [them] to love and good deeds”. His prayer for them in chapter one is a beautiful expression of that goal. As he continues his letter he addresses some points of tension they are …
