Slaying Your Giant

In this sermon, Pastor Jason dives deep into the powerful story of David and Goliath, found in 1 Samuel 17. We often see Goliath as the obvious enemy, but Pastor Jason challenges us to consider a different giant—the giant of fear. He explains how fear, like the one that gripped the hearts of the Israelites, can grow so big that it prevents us from fulfilling God’s purpose in our lives. Drawing from David’s example, Pastor Jason reminds us that fear isn’t always a bad thing. Fear can be a natural response that helps us process danger and stay alert. However, when fear overwhelms us to the point where we stop moving forward or enjoying life, it becomes unhealthy. The real enemy isn’t external circumstances but the internal battle we face against our own fear. David’s victory wasn’t just over Goliath but over the fear that crippled everyone else. Pastor Jason encourages listeners to adopt David’s mindset of faith, trusting fully in God, and recognising that God is far bigger than any challenge we face. The key to slaying the giant of fear is to strengthen our faith, which comes by hearing and meditating on God’s Word. Join us as we learn how to conquer fear and step boldly into the purpose God has for our lives!

He challenges listeners to be active in sharing their faith and praying for those who have yet to know the Lord. Key Highlights: Sin Problem: Drawing from Romans 3:22-23, Pastor Jason reminds us that all have sinned, and no one is without fault. He emphasises the importance of sharing the Gospel with wisdom and compassion, recognising our shared fallen nature. Penalty: Romans 6:23 reveals the price of sin—death—and the reality of Heaven and hell. Pastor Jason underscores that the only way to eternal life is through Jesus Christ. Solution - Jesus: Highlighting Romans 5:6-8, he explains that salvation cannot be earned by good works; it is a gift from God through Jesus, who paid our debt on the cross. Response: In Romans 10:9-13, the call to respond in faith is made clear. Pastor Jason encourages listeners to make a personal decision to accept Jesus as their Saviour, as salvation is a personal journey. Pray: Reflecting on Romans 1:16-17, he urges listeners to examine whether they have made this commitment, stressing that salvation is not inherited but personally embraced. Join Pastor Jason Heron in this powerful sermon as he presents the core message of the Gospel, urging us to respond in faith, pray for the lost, and boldly share the Good News.

Persistent Prayer

In this insightful sermon, Worship Director Donna Akodu delves into the power of persistent prayer, drawing from Matthew 7:7-8 and Luke 18:1-8. She emphasises that effective prayer is marked by persistence, highlighting that we should keep asking, seeking, and knocking as Jesus taught. Key Highlights: Effective Prayer is Persistent Prayer: Donna references theologian Clement of Alexandria, who stressed the importance of unceasing pursuit in prayer. Persistence in prayer not only leads to finding but also to marvelling, reigning, and ultimately resting in God's will. Persistence Leads to Faith: Through the parable of the persistent widow, Donna illustrates how small prayers are often answered quickly, while larger requests may take time. The widow's unwavering persistence, despite being powerless in her society, led to her faith growing and eventually to the judge taking action on her behalf. Persistence Leads to Purpose: Persistence isn't just about the immediate answer; it's about staying true to the purpose behind the prayer. Like the widow who sought justice, we must continue to pursue our God-given purpose, even in the face of opposition, as encouraged in Galatians 6:9. Persistence Through Process: Donna reminds us that the journey of persistence in prayer shapes us and prepares us for the outcome. It's not just about getting what we ask for but about the transformation that occurs as we persist through the process. Join Donna Akodu in this powerful sermon as she encourages us to remain steadfast in prayer, trusting that persistence will lead to faith, purpose, and divine outcomes.

The Power of The Promise

In this enlightening sermon, Pastor Michael Olivier delves into the theme "The Power of The Promise," emphasising the crucial role of God's promises in our lives, as described in Hebrews 6. Key Highlights: Anchor for Our Souls: God's promises and the hope they bring are likened to a trustworthy anchor for our souls, providing stability and preventing us from drifting away during life's storms. Gift of Grace: These promises are a generous provision of God's grace, not something we earn or deserve. They are gifts that reinforce our faith and dependence on God. Reality Check: Recognising our need for God's help is essential; believing we don't need it is delusional. God's promises remind us of our reliance on Him. Knowing God's Will: God's promises also guide us in understanding His will. 1 John 5:14 assures us that He hears our prayers when we ask according to His will. Childlike Faith: The appropriate response to God's promises is with childlike faith, trusting wholeheartedly in His word and provision. Join Pastor Michael Olivier in this sermon as he explores the profound impact of God's promises on our spiritual journey, teaching us to embrace them with faith and gratitude.
