  1. Set Free By Christ

    3D AGO

    Set Free By Christ

    What does real Christian freedom actually look like? In Galatians 5, Paul reminds the church that Jesus did not save us so that we would return to slavery, whether through legalism or self-rule. We have been set free by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. But freedom in Christ is not freedom to live however we want. It is freedom to walk with Jesus, love one another, and live by the Spirit. In this sermon we explore: 
• The danger of adding to the gospel
 • Legalism vs licentiousness
 • What it means to truly walk in freedom 
• Why grace leads to love and obedience
 • The battle between the flesh and the Spirit
 • How the gospel transforms us from the inside out JESUS + NOTHING = EVERYTHING

  2. Stop Going Back To Your Old Ways

    MAY 10

    Stop Going Back To Your Old Ways

    In this sermon from Galatians 4:8–31, we explore Paul’s loving but urgent plea to believers who were drifting back into slavery after being set free by the gospel. The Galatians had begun believing that salvation was not simply Jesus alone, but Jesus plus performance, law, religion, and rule-keeping. Paul reminds them, and us, that in Christ we are no longer slaves, but sons and daughters adopted into the family of God. This passage exposes the “little g gods” we still run to for identity, comfort, control, and approval, and calls us back to the freedom, joy, and security found in knowing God and being known by Him. Through the story of Hagar and Sarah, Ishmael and Isaac, Paul contrasts two ways of living:
 ‣ slavery or freedom,
 ‣ flesh or promise,
 ‣ performance or grace.

  3. From Slavery to Sonship

    MAY 3

    From Slavery to Sonship

    Do you know who you are? In Galatians 3:23–4:7, Paul takes us from life under the law to life as sons of God. Once we were captive, held under the law, unable to make ourselves right. But through Jesus, everything has changed. Christ has redeemed us. The debt has been paid. And now, through faith, we are no longer slaves… but sons. In this sermon we explore: • The purpose of the law and why it cannot save • What it means to be redeemed by Christ • The difference between living as a slave and living as a son • How we drift into performance and forget the gospel • What it means to cry, “Abba, Father” We don’t earn our place in God’s family. We receive it. The Christian life isn’t about trying harder, it’s about trusting what Christ has already finished.

  4. From Duty to Joy

    APR 26

    From Duty to Joy

    From Duty to Joy | Galatians 3:1–26
 | Galatians – Set Free Series What does the Christian life actually look like? In Galatians 3:1–26, Paul confronts a subtle but dangerous drift, moving from faith in Christ to relying on our own effort. The Galatians hadn’t abandoned Jesus, but they had begun to believe that spiritual growth came through performance rather than dependence on the Spirit. This passage exposes the weight of self-reliance and points us back to the freedom of the gospel. In this sermon we explore: 
• Why living by the law becomes an unbearable burden
 • How Christ redeems us by becoming a curse for us
 • Why we never move on from the gospel
 • The unshakeable identity we receive as sons through faith 
• How the Spirit transforms duty into joyful, love-filled obedience The Christian life is not about trying harder, it’s about trusting deeper. From striving to resting. 
From duty to joy.
 From self-reliance to faith in Christ.

  5. Masculine Virtue

    APR 19

    Masculine Virtue

    What does it actually mean to “act like men”? In a culture that swings between harsh dominance and passive avoidance, the Bible gives us something far better. In this sermon, we look at Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 and see that biblical masculinity is not defined by culture, but by Christ. Not loud.
 Not self-serving.
 Not absent. But men who are: • Watchful
 • Steady 
• Strong (in Christ)
 • And shaped by love Alongside this, we turn to Matthew 20:17–28, where Jesus completely redefines strength, not as power and position, but as service, sacrifice, and laying your life down for others. This is a call not just for men, but for the whole church. Because when men are formed in Christ like this, 
brothers are strengthened,
sisters are honoured,
and the lost are pursued. And at the centre of it all is Jesus,
the true man,
who stood firm when we wavered
and gave His life so that we could be made new. This sermon is part of our Virtue series, exploring what it looks like to be formed in Christ as men and women for the glory of God and the good of His church.

  6. Feminine Virtue

    APR 12

    Feminine Virtue

    What does it look like to be a woman shaped by Jesus? In this sermon, we explore Feminine Virtue through Colossians 2:6–7, a life rooted in Christ, formed over time, and given away for the good of others. In a world that constantly pressures identity, performance, and worth, this message calls us back to something deeper: - Not striving, but abiding. - Not proving, but receiving. - Not drifting, but standing firm. We explore three key themes: - Union, our identity rooted in Christ - Wisdom, a life that gives life through spiritual motherhood and discipleship - Fortitude, steady, resilient faith in the face of pressure This sermon isn’t just for women, it’s a vision for the whole church. As we learn to recognise, honour, and receive what God is forming in one another, the church becomes something beautiful.

  7. Resurrection Sunday - The Two Gardens, The Only Way

    APR 5

    Resurrection Sunday - The Two Gardens, The Only Way

    The Two Gardens, The Only Way | Easter Sunday In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asks,
“Is there another way?” At the cross, He drinks the cup and declares,
“It is finished.” And in the empty garden tomb, we see the answer: There was no other way…
but this way works. This Easter message explores the connection between two gardens, the weight of the cross, and the victory of the resurrection. Not as abstract ideas, but as the centre of the Christian faith. Because the question is not simply: “Do you believe in God?”
or
“Are you a good person?” But: Are you trusting in Jesus, the only way to be made right with God?

  8. Palm Sunday - The King You Wanted, The King You Needed

    MAR 29

    Palm Sunday - The King You Wanted, The King You Needed

    On Palm Sunday, the crowds welcomed Jesus as King. They waved branches. They shouted “Hosanna.” They thought they knew who He was. But they were expecting a different kind of King. In this sermon, we explore how Jesus fulfils the promises of the Old Testament, yet completely redefines what kind of King He is. Not a political rescuer, but a sin-bearing Saviour. The one they welcomed on Sunday… would be rejected by Friday. And the question still stands for us today: Will we receive Jesus as He truly is, or only as we want Him to be?
