Fan Into Flame: Honouring Mothers & Guarding the Faith | Mother’s Day 2026

This special Mother’s Day message from Dorchester Family Church celebrates the powerful legacy of faith passed down through generations. Looking at 2 Timothy 1:1–14, Louise and Ben Martin reflect on the example of Lois and Eunice, whose sincere, lived-out faith shaped Timothy’s life and ministry. Together we explore how faith can be passed on through families, church communities, and spiritual relationships. We’re reminded that the gospel we’ve received is a gift worth guarding, nurturing, and passing on — fanning into flame the work God has started in us. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, spiritual mentor, or someone seeking encouragement in your faith, this message will inspire you to live out the legacy of grace entrusted to you. 🎧 Listen now and explore more sermons:https://dfc.org.uk/podcasts

Put Off the Old, Put On Christ | United in Christ (Ephesians 4:17–32)

✍️ Episode Description What does the life of a true disciple really look like? In this powerful message from Ephesians 4:17–32, Femi Ajayi unpacks Paul’s urgent call to “put off” the old self and “put on” the new. As part of our United in Christ series, we explore how our identity in Jesus shapes our behaviour, renews our minds daily, and strengthens the unity of the Church. This isn’t optional Christianity — it’s wholehearted transformation. Through repentance, renewal, and reverence for the Holy Spirit, we are called to live differently: speaking truth, choosing kindness, rejecting bitterness, and building one another up. Be encouraged and challenged as we ask:Are we truly living as disciples of Christ?

Empty to Be Filled: A Better Rhythm for Lent

This Sunday at Dorchester Family Church, Ben Martin explores the true gift of Lent — not as empty ritual, but as a life-giving invitation. In a world full of noise, complexity, restlessness and speed, how do we create space for God? From Ash Wednesday to Easter, Lent offers us 40 days to empty ourselves of what distracts and overwhelms — and to be refilled with silence, simplicity, Sabbath and a slower, Jesus-centred rhythm. Drawing on Scripture, the example of Jesus, and wisdom from voices like C. S. Lewis and John Wesley, this message invites us to rediscover spiritual disciplines not as “dead works”, but as anchors for a restless age. ✨ What might God want to empty from your life this Lent?✨ What could He fill you with instead? Listen now and journey with us towards the light of Resurrection Sunday. 🔗 More episodes: https://dfc.org.uk/podcasts

A Prayer for Strength, Love, Knowledge & Fullness | Ephesians 3:14-21

In this powerful message from our Ephesians series, Elder Ben Martin takes us into the heart of the Apostle Paul's prayer for the church in Ephesians 3:14-21. Discover what it means to be strengthened with power through the Spirit, rooted and established in love, and filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ben explores Paul's posture in prayer - on his knees before the Father - and unpacks four transformative requests: strength to stand firm, love that roots us deeply, knowledge of Christ's immeasurable love, and fullness beyond what we can imagine. This is the final message in the "sit" section of Ephesians, reminding us of our secure position in Christ before we move into the "walk" of living out these truths in daily life. Key takeaways: Why kneeling in prayer matters - intensity and earnestnessChrist dwelling vs. Christ ruling in our heartsThe corporate nature of experiencing God's lovePrayer as refreshment, not burdenGod's ability to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagineWhether you're an eager prayer warrior or reluctant in prayer, this message offers a window into the heart of God and an invitation to deeper communion with Him.
