    Phil Dickson: Leadership

    Are you ready to step into your calling? In this powerful and encouraging message, Phil reminds us that God is doing some amazing things right now in Wirral, in our nation, and beyond! We aren’t just onlookers—we are actually invited and called to be a vital part of the Great Commission. Phil takes us on a journey from the Old Testament to the New Testament, starting with Daniel’s breathtaking vision of Jesus’s eternal authority and kingdom. He connects this heavenly power straight to Matthew 28, reminding us that Jesus has invested that very same authority in us to go out and make disciples. But how do we do that practically? Phil dives into Ephesians 4 and Romans 12 to look at how the church is built to work together. He breaks down: The Five-Fold Ministry: How God specifically appoints leaders, pastors, and teachers to equip the church. Phil challenges us to honor, encourage, and support our leaders who carry the heavy responsibility of watching over our souls. Stirring Up Our Gifts: Whether your gift is serving, encouraging, teaching, or giving, Phil reminds us that every role is vital. He shares a heartwarming personal story about how a simple word of encouragement fueled his own heart, and he challenges us to bless others the same way! Diligence in Leadership: Phil unpacks what true, godly leadership looks like—it’s not about self-promotion or natural ambition, but about humility, spiritual maturity, and being a living sacrifice. If you are called to lead, Phil’s message is clear: do it diligently, passionately, and with no half-measures! We are one body with many different gifts, all serving the same Lord. Let’s shake off any laziness, stir up our spiritual fervour, and serve God with everything we’ve got! Key Scriptures Mentioned: 📖 Daniel 7 📖 Matthew 28:18-20 (The Great Commission) 📖 Ephesians 4:1-16 📖 Hebrews 13:7, 17 📖 Romans 12:1-11 📖 1 Peter 5 / 2 Peter 1:5-8 The post Phil Dickson: Leadership first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

    Dave Frodsham: Pleasing the unchanging God

    What does it mean to live a life of faith when everything around us feels a bit shaken? Dave brings us to the final chapter of the letter to the Hebrews, reminding us that the Christian life is an adventure, a race, and a walk of faith where we have to keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus. As the world changes and uncertainties creep in, Dave highlights the ultimate anchor for our souls: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Dave breaks down three key things the writer of Hebrews reminds us to do: 1. Remember those who went before you 🙌 Dave shares a great illustration about a tour guide on a volcano. When it erupted, everyone’s instinct was to run down, but the guide knew the safe path was actually up. God provides us with leaders and guides to point us in the right direction. Dave encourages us to look at the faith of godly leaders who have walked through massive difficulties and stayed faithful—and to imitate that kind of enduring faith. 2. Remember where your strength comes from 💪 Spoiler alert: It doesn’t come from strict rules, temporary comforts, or the latest self-help trends on Instagram! Dave reminds us that our true strength comes entirely from leaning into God’s grace. Jesus suffered “outside the camp” to pay the price for us, and sometimes following Him means stepping out of our comfort zones, moving toward people in need, and standing up for what we believe in—even if it means facing ridicule. 3. Offer sacrifices that please God ❤️ Dave highlights three practical ways we can bring pleasure to God in our daily lives: A Sacrifice of Praise: Worshipping God as a lifestyle, no matter what our circumstances look like. Doing Good and Sharing: Living out our faith by being kind, generous, and holding our possessions lightly. Supporting Your Leaders: Walking in unity with the leaders who care for your soul, making their job a joy rather than a burden, and lifting them up in prayer. We’re not in this alone. We are a body, walking this path together, anchored by a God who never changes. The post Dave Frodsham: Pleasing the unchanging God first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

    Andy Arscott: Joy and Happiness

    In Joy and Happiness, guest speaker Andy Arscott explores the difference between temporary happiness and the eternal joy found in Christ. Speaking from Philippians 4, Andy challenges us to move beyond “spectator Christianity” and into a life of active service and deep-rooted peace. Andy talks about Building the “Drywall” Church: Using the imagery of dry stone walling, Andy emphasises that every person is a “living stone” with a unique shape. A healthy church isn’t built by a few leaders, but by everyone finding their place, joining home groups, and “feeding the sheep” through acts of love and service. Joy vs. Happiness: Andy breaks down why the Nordic countries often top the “happiness” charts, but notes that biblical joy is different. Happiness depends on circumstances (money, status, health), but Joy abides. It is a byproduct of our connection to God and our secure salvation. The Power of Perspective: “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I respond to it.” Andy shares about the loss of his wife and how the “wells of salvation” provided strength and joy even in the midst of deep grief. Anxiety as the “Rust of Life”: Addressing Paul’s command to “not be anxious,” Andy reminds us that anxiety is often a battle of faith. He provides a framework for joy as a settled assurance that God is in control, He is working all things for good, and our future is eternally secure.
