    The Older Brother Problem: Why Good People Need Grace Too | Luke 15:25-32

    The Older Brother Problem: Why Good People Need Grace Too | Luke 15:25-32 Series: Lost Preacher: Simon Lawrenson Sunday Morning Date: 31st May 2026 Passage: Luke 15:25-32 ------------------- In Luke 15, most people focus on the Prodigal Son who ran away from home. But Jesus saves the greatest surprise for the end of the story. The older brother never left. He stayed faithful. He worked hard. He obeyed the rules. Yet when grace comes to his younger brother, he finds himself standing outside the Father's feast. In this sermon, we explore the forgotten son of Luke 15 and discover how self-righteousness, comparison, entitlement, and performance can keep us from experiencing the joy of God's grace. The younger son was lost through rebellion. The older son was lost through religion. Both needed the same thing: grace. 📖 Passage: Luke 15:25–32 In this message: • The hidden meaning of the Older Brother • Why faithful people often struggle with grace • The danger of building security on performance • The biblical pattern of two sons throughout Scripture • What Jonah, Job, and the Rich Young Ruler teach us about grace • Why Jesus leaves the story unfinished • How to move from performance to sonship Whether you identify more with the younger son or the older brother, Jesus leaves the door open for you to come home to the Father. #Luke15 #ProdigalSon #OlderBrother #Grace #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #Jesus #Gospel #SelfRighteousness #Faith #Christianity #ChurchSermon #Luke15Sermon

    The Lost Younger Son | When a Son Forgets He’s a Son | Luke 15:11-24

    The Lost Younger Son | When a Son Forgets He’s a Son | Luke 15:11-24 Series: Lost Preacher: Simon Lawrenson Sunday Morning Date: 24th May 2026 Passage: Luke 15:11-24 ------------------- What if the deepest problem in our lives isn’t just the sin we commit—but the identity we lose? In this message from Luke 15, we explore the story of the lost younger son and discover that rebellion does more than break rules—it breaks relationship. The prodigal son doesn’t simply say, “I have sinned.” He says, “I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” His lostness is ultimately a loss of identity. Jesus tells this parable to reveal the heart of the Father toward sinners, outcasts, and those who feel far from God. Through the powerful biblical theme of younger sons receiving undeserved grace—Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David—we see a Gospel truth repeated throughout Scripture: inheritance in God’s Kingdom is received by grace, not earned by performance. In this sermon we explore: How sin causes us to forget who we are Why shame isolates us from the Father The biblical pattern of lost younger sons The difference between rebellion and repentance The scandalous compassion of the Father How grace restores identity and relationship No matter how far you’ve wandered, the invitation of the Father still stands: come home. 📖 Scripture: Luke 15:11–24

    The Lost Coin | How Do We Become Lost? | Luke 15:8-10

    The Lost Coin | How Do We Become Lost? | Luke 15:8-10 Series: Lost Preacher: Simon Lawrenson Sunday Morning Date: 17th May 2026 Passage: Luke 15:8-10 ------------------- What if being “lost” isn’t always rebellion? In this powerful sermon from Gospel of Luke 15:8–10, we explore the story of the Lost Coin and how people become spiritually, emotionally, and relationally disconnected from God. This message looks at: mental health and spiritual lostness trauma, shame, and perceived worth exile and the book of Book of Lamentations why lostness often feels like invisibility the searching heart of God how the church can help people be found again Jesus shows us that lostness may hide value — but it never removes it. 📖 Scriptures: Luke 15:8–10 Lamentations 3 Ephesians 2:1–10 Genesis 1:26

    The Lost Sheep | How Do We Become Lost? | Luke 15 Series: Lost Preacher: Simon Lawrenson Sunday Morning Date: 10th May 2026 Passage: Luke 15:1-7 ------------------- Why do people drift from God? In this sermon from Gospel of Luke 15:3–7, we explore the story of the Lost Sheep and how spiritual lostness often begins slowly through distraction, isolation, exhaustion, and entanglement with the pressures of life. This message explores: spiritual drift and isolation belonging and community mental health and emotional exhaustion the danger of living disconnected from the flock the shepherd heart of God Book of Ezekiel 34 and God’s warning to failed shepherds how the church must become a community that notices who is missing Jesus reveals a God who searches for wandering people and carries them home. 📖 Scriptures: Luke 15:3–7 Ezekiel 34 Hebrews 12:1 1 Peter 5:8

    What "Lost" Really Means to God

    What "Lost" Really Means to God Series: Lost Preacher: Simon Lawrenson Sunday Morning Date: 3rd May 2026 Passage: Luke 15:1-2 ------------------- Most people think being "lost" is just about non-Christians - but Luke 15 tells a very different story. This message unpacks what it actually means to be lost, and why God's heart still moves toward the wandering. Through the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, we'll rediscover the heart of God for people who feel far from Him - including the ones already sitting in church. In this teaching, you'll learn: What being "lost" really means in the eyes of GodWhy the Father runs toward the wanderer instead of waitingHow to recognise lostness in your own life - even as a believer📖 Text: Luke 15 🎙️ Series: Lost & Found - Rediscovering the Heart of God 🏛️ Location: Calvary Chapel Southampton Luke 15 is one of the clearest pictures in Scripture of how God sees people who are far from Him. Whether you've walked away, drifted slowly, or never realised you were lost in the first place, this message is a reminder that God isn't distant - He's searching. Being found isn't about being perfect; it's about being pursued by a Father who refuses to give up. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bible teaching that connects Scripture to real life.

    Immeasurable riches of God's grace

    Immeasurable riches of God's grace Series: Topical Preacher: Joseph Diaper Sunday Morning Date: 26th April 2026 Passage: Ephesians 2:1-10 ------------------- You were spiritually bankrupt — and most of us still live like we are. This message unpacks the immeasurable riches of God's grace and what actually changes when you stop acting poor. Paul doesn't sugarcoat it in Ephesians 2. We were dead, broke, and going nowhere. Then grace stepped in. The question isn't whether God is rich — it's whether you're living like a child of the King or still scraping by on your own effort. In this teaching, you'll learn: Why "I'm poor, He's rich" isn't the end of the story What spiritual bankruptcy actually looks like in everyday life How grace changes your identity — not just your eternity Practical ways to stop earning what's already been given 📖 Text: Ephesians 2:1-10 🏛️ Location: Calvary Chapel Southampton Most believers know grace as a word, but live like they're still on the hook. This message walks through Paul's blunt diagnosis of who we were, what God did, and how the immeasurable riches of His grace reshape the way Christians live, work, and relate to others. If you've been treating salvation like a ledger to balance, this one's for you. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Bible teaching that's clear, practical, and rooted in Scripture

    Foundation stones of Word and Spirit

    Foundation stones of Word and Spirit Series: Topical Preacher: Andy King Sunday Morning Date: 19th April 2026 ------------------- Most Christians know about God — but far fewer actually know Him. This message on the Word and the Spirit cuts through empty religion and calls you back to real intimacy with God. In this teaching, you'll discover: Why having Bible knowledge without the Holy Spirit produces a hollow, powerless faith What it really means that your body is a temple — and why that changes everything The difference between information about God and a genuine relationship with Him How Jesus operated in both Word and power — and what that means for your everyday life What the Kingdom of God actually looks like when the Spirit and the Word are working together 🎙️ Series: The Word and The Spirit 🏛️ Location: Calvary Chapel Southampton Many believers settle for one or the other - head knowledge or emotional experience - but God never intended for these to be separated. The Holy Spirit without the Word leads to instability. The Word without the Holy Spirit leads to dead religion. This teaching unpacks who the Holy Spirit is, what the Word of God truly is, and how together they produce the kind of faith that reflects the Kingdom of God and carries real, lasting power. If you've ever felt like something is missing in your walk with God, this message is for you.

    The Towel, Not the Title - John 13:1-17

    The Towel, Not the Title - John 13:1-17 Series: Topical Preacher: Simon Lawrenson Sunday Morning Date: 12th April 2026 Passage: John 13:1-17 ------------------- What does true leadership look like? In this special service of installation, we turn to John 13, where Jesus kneels to wash His disciples’ feet. In a moment that is both shocking and deeply moving, Jesus shows us that leadership in God’s kingdom is not about status or recognition—but humble, sacrificial service. But this passage is more than an example to follow—it’s a picture of the gospel. Before we can serve like Jesus, we must first be cleansed by Jesus. Drawing on the rich biblical theme of cleansing—from the Old Testament priesthood to the work of the Holy Spirit—we see how Christ, our Great High Priest, washes us from sin and calls us to extend that same grace to others. In this message, we explore: Why we often resist being “washed” by Jesus What it means to be truly clean—and yet still need ongoing renewal The danger of outward closeness without inward transformation How the Holy Spirit continues the work of cleansing in our lives What servant-hearted leadership really looks like Whether you’re in church leadership or simply seeking to follow Jesus more closely, this message invites you to receive His grace—and then go and serve others in His name.
