    Family on a Mission – UNLTD VISION | Mark 9:30–50 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Church Exeter

    In this UNLTD Vision talk, Matt explores what it means to be a multigenerational family on a mission through Mark 9:30–50. Jesus catches His disciples arguing about who is the greatest, and instead of humiliating them publicly, He privately and graciously teaches them the upside-down way of the Kingdom: if you want to be first, become the servant of everyone. This talk looks at humility, serving one another, welcoming children and those young in faith, taking sin seriously, and living as “salt” in the world — preserving what is good, beautiful, holy and true. As UNLTD Church, we are called to be a family where everyone has a part to play, where we serve rather than seek status, and where our lives point people towards Jesus.

    UNLTD FAMILY SERVICE - Help Me Overcome My Unbelief | Mark 9:14–29 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Exeter

    In this family-friendly talk from Mark 9:14–29, Matt explores one of the most honest prayers in the whole Gospel: “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief.” As Jesus meets a desperate father and heals his son, we’re reminded that faith is not pretending we have no doubts. Faith is bringing our doubts, fears, and struggles honestly to Jesus and asking Him to meet us there. This talk explores the spiritual battle between good and evil, the compassion and authority of Jesus, and the power of prayer when we feel weak, tired, or unsure. It is a reminder that God is still in the business of healing, restoring, and drawing near. Whether you are full of faith or wrestling with unbelief, this message is an invitation to pray honestly, trust deeply, and remember that Jesus rescues and saves.

    Palm Sunday – Hosanna in the Highest | Mark 11:1–11 | 22.03.26 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Church Exeter

    In this talk, Matt opens our Easter series with Palm Sunday in Mark 11:1–11. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, we see a King unlike any other: not the conquering ruler people expected, but the peaceful Messiah they desperately needed. This message explores the small acts of obedience that prepare us for bigger moments of faith, the royal authority of Jesus, and the meaning behind the crowd crying “Hosanna in the highest.” Palm Sunday reminds us that worship should be extravagant, personal, and public — and that Jesus wants to ride into the most guarded places of our lives to bring peace, freedom, and salvation.

    The Only Dependable Love | Mark 1:9–11 | 15.02.26 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Church Exeter

    In a week full of Valentine’s noise, we go back to the source of love. Anchored in Mark 1:9–11, we hear the Father’s words over Jesus — “You are my Son, whom I love… with you I am well pleased” — and explore what it means to be fully known and truly loved by God. This talk is for the married, the single, the dating, the healing, the tired, and the hopeful: there is a love deeper than romance, stronger than shame, and steadier than your best day or worst day.

    MARGINS TO MERCY | Mark 7:24-36 | 08.02.26 | Chris Duffield | UNLTD Church Exeter

    In Mark 7:24–37, Jesus meets two people on the margins: a mother pleading for her daughter, and a deaf man who can barely speak. This talk explores persistent faith without entitlement, and a Saviour who steps close—touching what we’d rather hide—and restores with mercy that points us straight to the cross.

    Giving Reveals Our Heart | Mark 7:1–23 | 01.02.26 | Matt Clayton | UNLTD Church Exeter

    In Mark 7, Jesus exposes the gap between appearance and heart. This talk looks at hypocrisy, worship, and why money is so tightly connected to what we trust, love, and lean on for security. We also share some simple, practical ways to grow in generosity — not to impress anyone, but as an act of surrender and worship.You can give here: www.unltd.church/giveCatch all talks here: www.unltd.church/talksTimestamps00:00 Welcome 00:45 Mark 7 reading (Mark 7:1–23)04:23 UNLTD vision recap (multi-gen family + miracle people)05:12 “Walk” as a way of life + what it means to carry our hearts to God07:24 “Honour me with lips, hearts far away” — performance vs relationship09:31 Money, security, and the “good thing” that becomes the wrong thing11:46 Biblical giving foundations (Deut 14, Lev 27)12:38 Three giving principles: Provider, Worship, Stewardship16:00 Breakout question: which statement is hardest, and why?16:31 Hypocrisy explained (stubborn heart) + the (very honest) bike story20:28 Two practical steps: God as provider + generosity as holy rebellion22:52 Jesus takes the law deeper: the heart, thought-life, inner world25:47 Two “flows”: desire → act → distortion vs discernment → holy action → glory27:39 Summary and return to the three statements28:45 UNLTD giving myths (who pays for what) + why this matters30:16 2025 income breakdown31:56 2025 expenditure breakdown33:58 Ways to give (direct debit, Gift Aid) + what different amounts can fund36:26 Quiet reflection + response moment#MarkGospel #ChristianGiving #ChurchFinance #Generosity #Jesus #UNLTDChurchExeter
