    Love That Hangeth On A Tree - Judith Brignall

    What did Jesus mean when He cried from the cross, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” And what deeper significance can be found in the words of Psalm 22, written centuries before the crucifixion? In “Love That Hangeth On A Tree: From Crimson to White,” Judith Brignall explores Psalm 22 as a powerful Messianic prophecy pointing to the suffering, sacrifice and finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. At the heart of the message is the remarkable imagery surrounding Psalm 22:6 — “But I am a worm, and not a man.” Judith examines the Hebrew word associated with the crimson or scarlet worm and draws out its symbolism as a picture of Christ: attached to the wood, giving its life for its offspring, covering them in crimson and ultimately pointing from scarlet sin to cleansing white as snow. Through Psalm 22, Isaiah 1, Isaiah 53, John 6, Philippians 2, 1 Peter 1 and Revelation 5, this sermon considers the meaning of the blood of Jesus, the blood covenant, forgiveness of sins, healing, redemption and our new identity in Christ. Judith also connects the opening and closing words of Psalm 22 with Jesus’ words from the cross — from “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” to the triumphant declaration “It is finished.” The cross was not a failure or an unfinished work. Jesus accomplished what He came to do: salvation has been paid for, the covenant has been established, and through His blood we can be made righteous before God. This message reminds us that the story of the cross is ultimately a story of extraordinary love: He gave His life so that we might live.
 He shed His blood so that we might be forgiven.

    Do You Know Who You Are? - Pastor Luke Taylor

    Do you know who you are in Christ? In this powerful Christian sermon, Pastor Luke Taylor explores our true identity in Christ and reveals what the Bible says every believer already is: a child of God, a witness for Jesus, an ambassador for Christ and a living letter read by the world. Many Christians spend years trying to earn an identity that God has already given them. Through passages including Galatians 4, Acts 1:8, 2 Corinthians 5, 2 Corinthians 3 and 1 John 3, Pastor Luke explains that our Christian identity is not something we achieve through greater effort. It is something we receive through faith in Jesus Christ. This message examines three important truths about who Christians are: • You are a witness — You do not need a dramatic testimony, perfect words or all the theological answers. You simply need to share what you have seen and experienced Jesus do in your life. • You are an ambassador for Christ — Your citizenship is in heaven, and you have been placed in your home, workplace, family and community to represent the Kingdom of God and proclaim the message of reconciliation. • You are a living letter from Christ — The people around you are reading your life. Your words, reactions, hope, honesty and faith can communicate the grace, peace, forgiveness and transforming power of Jesus. Using the remarkable story of Anna Anderson, who spent decades believing she was the lost Russian princess Anastasia, Pastor Luke contrasts a false identity with the genuine royal identity believers receive as children and heirs of God. This sermon is an encouragement to stop trying to become what God already says you are. You are accepted. You are chosen. You are a child of the King. You have a testimony. You represent another Kingdom, and God is writing His message through your life. The question is not whether you will someday become a witness, an ambassador or a living letter. The question is whether you recognise who you already are—and whether your life clearly reflects the One who has sent you.

    An Encounter With God - Pastor Cliff Henderson

    When was the last time you had a fresh encounter with God? In this powerful sermon, “An Encounter With God,” Pastor Cliff Henderson explores how meeting with the presence of God can transform our lives, restore our souls and renew our spiritual passion. Drawing from the Transfiguration of Jesus in Matthew 17, Acts 3:19, Moses at the burning bush, Elijah at Mount Horeb, Jacob wrestling with God and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Pastor Cliff explains why believers need more than memories of past blessings. We need fresh times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. This message examines: • What it means to encounter God • How God’s presence brings spiritual renewal and transformation • Why Christians can become spiritually dry, weary or lukewarm • The importance of repentance and returning to your first love • How to prepare your heart to meet with God • Seeking God through prayer and the Word of God • Being filled afresh with the Holy Spirit • Restoring spiritual passion, zeal and purpose • Moving from an encounter with God into faithful Christian service God’s invitation remains open: “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” When we devote ourselves to God, prepare the altar of our hearts and earnestly seek His presence, He promises to meet with us. Are you longing for spiritual awakening, a fresh touch from God or renewed passion in your Christian walk? May this sermon encourage you to seek the Lord wholeheartedly and experience times of refreshing in His presence.

    Your Final Destination: What Happens When A Believer Dies? - Pastor Luke Taylor

    What happens after death? What does the Bible really say about heaven, eternal life, the resurrection body, and the new heaven and new earth? In this powerful sermon, “Your Final Destination,” Pastor Luke Taylor shares a message of Christian hope for every troubled heart. Looking at Scriptures including John 14, Luke 16, 2 Corinthians 5, 1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 21–22, Romans 8, Isaiah 65, and Colossians 3, this message explores the hope believers have in Jesus Christ beyond death. This sermon reminds us that heaven is not just an escape from suffering, but the promise of being with Christ, receiving resurrected bodies, seeing the New Jerusalem, and living forever in the restored creation where death, pain, tears, and mourning are gone. If you need encouragement, hope, or a biblical reminder of what is coming for those who belong to Jesus, this message will lift your eyes beyond today’s struggles and point you toward eternity.

    The God Conundrum Conversations Q&A with David Harper – Episode 1 - The Journey Begins & Creation

    What happens when a lifelong sceptic decides to investigate Christianity for himself? In this first episode of The God Conundrum Conversations, Luke Taylor sits down with television presenter and antiques expert David Harper to explore the remarkable journey that led him from agnosticism to faith. The journey began when David witnessed an extraordinary transformation in his daughter’s life after she encountered Jesus. Determined to discover whether Christianity was true, he embarked on an 11-month investigation, examining science, history, philosophy, and evidence from both Christian and atheist perspectives. In this conversation, David shares: • Why his daughter’s story caused him to question his assumptions about faith • The questions he asked as a sceptic and agnostic • The origins of the universe and the question of a Creator • The fine-tuning argument and the complexity of life • Science, faith, and whether they are really in conflict • Why some of the world’s leading scientists have concluded that belief in God is reasonable • Audience questions on suffering, evidence, prayer, evolution, and the existence of God This evening also includes a moving Q&A session, featuring honest questions from people at different stages of belief—from committed Christians to those still wrestling with doubt and searching for answers. Whether you’re a believer, sceptic, agnostic, atheist, or simply curious, this conversation invites you to explore life’s biggest questions with an open mind. Based on David Harper’s bestselling book The God Conundrum. Subscribe for future episodes as we continue through the book and tackle topics including evolution, the reliability of the Bible, archaeology, Jesus, and the evidence for Christianity.

    Fleshed Out Faith - Terry Young

    Sermon starts at 23:08 In this powerful Christian sermon, “Fleshed Out Faith,” Terry Young explores what it means to live out real, practical faith in everyday life. Preaching from John 1 and John 20, this message looks at Jesus as the Word made flesh, the gospel lived out in ordinary neighbourhoods, and the story of Thomas, often called “Doubting Thomas.” Rather than condemning doubt, Jesus meets Thomas with His wounded body and invites him closer. This sermon challenges believers to be the hands and feet of Jesus, showing the love of God not just through words, but through compassion, kindness, community, and real-life gospel transformation. Terry shares powerful stories of lives changed through simple acts of love, including people finding hope, freedom, and faith through Christian community, practical support, and the message of Jesus.
