    Dave Frodsham: Why we need more leaders

    Why does a growing church need more leaders? In this message, Dave Frodsham explores Acts 6:1–6 and the early church’s response to the challenges that came with growth. As the number of believers increased, practical problems emerged. Some widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food, creating tension between different cultural groups within the church. The apostles recognised that these needs had to be addressed, but they also knew they couldn’t allow practical demands to distract them from their primary calling of prayer and preaching God’s Word. Their solution was to appoint seven godly, Spirit-filled and wise people to serve the church. This provides an important biblical picture of servant leadership: people with good character, genuine faith and a willingness to use their gifts to meet the needs of others. Drawing on 1 Timothy 3, Dave also explores the qualities required of those who serve as leaders and deacons, highlighting the importance of integrity, spiritual maturity, humility and being tested and proven in their faith. The message challenges us to recognise that leadership isn’t just the responsibility of a few people at the front. Every Christian has influence and a part to play. Whether it’s caring for others, supporting those in need, teaching, welcoming, serving or helping others grow in faith, we are all called to contribute. A growing church needs more than people filling seats – it needs people willing to serve, lead and make disciples. As Jubilee Church Wirral looks towards developing its leadership teams, including appointing new elders and recognising deacons, the challenge is clear: we must raise up more servant leaders so that the church can continue to grow, care for people and keep the main thing the main thing – sharing the gospel and making disciples.   https://jubileechurchwirral.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Dave-Frodsham-Why-we-need-more-leaders.mp3     The post Dave Frodsham: Why we need more leaders first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

    Graham Webb: Advancing the kingdom of God

    What does it mean to advance the Kingdom of God, and how can we play our part in seeing it grow? In this message, Graham Webb of Jubilee Church Wirral explores what it means to live under the reign of Jesus and how God has been advancing His kingdom through the New Frontiers and Christ Central movements. Drawing on Jesus’ teaching and the history of the early church, Graham explains how the Kingdom of God is both here and still to come. We see it at work through salvation, healing, transformed lives and the breaking of spiritual strongholds, while looking forward to the day when Jesus returns and His kingdom is fully realised. Graham challenges us to put Jesus first, turning away from self-reliance and learning to trust Him in every area of our lives. He also shares stories from the development of New Frontiers, from its beginnings in house churches to a growing international movement, highlighting the importance of the Holy Spirit, raising up leaders and equipping every believer to play their part. The message is clear: advancing God’s kingdom isn’t just the responsibility of church leaders. Every Christian can bring the light of Jesus into their everyday surroundings, praying for the sick, sharing the good news and demonstrating God’s love wherever they go. The Kingdom of God advances as we put Jesus first, depend on the Holy Spirit and make ourselves available for His purposes. Discover how you can be part of what God is doing in your church, your community and beyond. https://jubileechurchwirral.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Graham-Webb-Advancing-the-Kingdom-of-God.mp3The post Graham Webb: Advancing the kingdom of God first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

    Dave Frodsham: Making disciples who make disciples

    What does it really mean to be a disciple of Jesus? And how can we become disciples who make disciples? In this message, Dave Frodsham of Jubilee Church Wirral explores Jesus’ Great Commission in Matthew 28:16–20, reminding us that following Jesus is about much more than making a confession of faith or attending church on a Sunday. Being a disciple means hearing what God is saying to us and putting it into practice. Dave unpacks the call to make disciples, the characteristics of a disciple and the environment we need to create for discipleship to flourish. He challenges us to move beyond simply receiving the good news ourselves and to share it with others, building relationships, modelling a genuine faith and helping people grow as followers of Jesus. Our calling is both to worship God and to see His kingdom advance. As we follow Jesus, we are called to equip and encourage one another, reach those who don’t yet know Him, and help new believers become disciples who will go on to make disciples themselves. The good news is that we don’t do this alone. Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth, and He promises to be with us always. Key Scriptures: Matthew 28:16–20, Luke 14:25–33 and Psalm 34:1–3. https://jubileechurchwirral.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Dave-Frodsham-Making-disciples-who-make-disciples.mp3 The post Dave Frodsham: Making disciples who make disciples first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

    Denise Griffiths: Being Family Together

    Denise Griffiths explores what it really means for us to be “family together” as the church. Building on our vision and values, Denise reminds us that church is much more than a group of people who meet together on a Sunday. Through Jesus, we have been brought into a new family — with God as our Father and one another as brothers and sisters. Looking at passages from 1 Timothy, Romans and Acts, Denise challenges us to consider what being family actually looks like. How do we treat one another? How do we respond when someone is struggling, lonely or in need? Do we simply say, “I’ll pray for you,” or are we willing to stand alongside someone and pray with them? The early church gives us a powerful picture of people doing life together — sharing meals, praying, worshipping, supporting one another and sharing what they had. Denise encourages us to recover that sense of belonging, care and practical love. She also asks a challenging question: When people look at us, do they see something of our heavenly Father? Just as children often reflect characteristics of their earthly parents, our lives should increasingly reflect Jesus. Denise also highlights the importance of every generation within the church, particularly encouraging young people to recognise that they are not simply the future church — they are part of the church now, with gifts, faith and something valuable to contribute. https://jubileechurchwirral.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Denise-Griffiths-Being-Family-Together.mp3 The post Denise Griffiths: Being Family Together first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

    Ola Dosunmu: Many people, one kingdom, one God

    What does it really mean to be a Christian? In ‘The Mark of a True Christian’, Ola Dosunmu of Jubilee Church Wirral looks at Romans 12:9-21, showing that the evidence of genuine faith is seen not simply in what we believe, but in how we live. After explaining God’s saving grace throughout the first eleven chapters of Romans, the Apostle Paul turns to the practical outworking of the gospel, revealing the characteristics that should mark every follower of Jesus. Ola explores three key marks of a true Christian: – The Sacrifice of Love: Christ’s sacrificial death gives believers a completely new identity. As we spend time with Jesus, the Holy Spirit continues His work of transforming us from the inside out. – The Sincerity of Love: Genuine faith produces genuine love. Christians are called to love without hypocrisy, honour one another, serve faithfully, show hospitality, persevere in prayer and live in peace with others. – The Forgiving Nature of Love: Rather than seeking revenge or repaying evil with evil, followers of Christ are called to bless those who oppose them, trust God with justice and overcome evil by doing good. The Christian life is not about outward religion but about allowing God’s love to shape every part of our lives. As we grow closer to Jesus, His character becomes increasingly visible through us.
