Family Carol: Sam & Bethany

2025 Christmas Day Service

One man in the Christmas story teaches us how to wait on the leading of the Holy Spirit. This sermon will encourage you to live like Simeon who waited faithfully until God fulfilled His promise!

In the Old Testament, priests were consecrated for service in the temple with blood and anointing oil. When Jesus came, he became our permanent High Priest. But what does consecration look like for us today if we want to be set apart for God’s purposes?

God has called us to be a royal priesthood! God wants to break our poverty mindsets so we can adopt a priestly mindset. Learn how to grow a priestly mindset in this inspiring word for the year ahead.

In Matthew’s Gospel, we read several times about Joseph, the father of Jesus, having dreams where an angel delivered important messages from God. Why did God choose to speak to him in this way? If you are stressing about how or when you will hear from God, this message will encourage you to keep seeking and trusting him because God knows how to get your attention!

Angels are important messengers in the Nativity story. And across the Bible, we see their role in speaking God’s Word, in protecting, providing and offering worship. This sermon will encourage you to consider how these celestial beings are heaven sent, even for us today!

As the people of God wondered if God was ever going to break in and rescue them, prophecies throughout the Bible show us that the Christmas story is not the start of the story but the pinnacle of God’s plans, prepared for centuries. Sam shares with us the power of those prophecies.

We don’t often talk about judgement but today, Chris shares how the Bible’s message about the end of times is a message of hope, possibility and salvation, with a Saviour who holds back judgment for as long as possible.

Our world says our identity is rooted in our sexual identity. Stephen shares a better story of identities rooted in Jesus and the place of sex as wonderful within God’s perfect order.

The Bible is full of stories of God breaking out in power. This sermon will stir you to trust God for your life today! He can move supernaturally to bring healing, provision and freedom.

This sermon will grab you! Sarah encourages you to not lose heart if you are in the midst of suffering. You’ll be taught to have a hopeful posture, speak out honest prayers and turn to helpful people. 

How do we make sense of so much violence and war in the Old Testament? This sermon powerfully helps you to see God’s ultimate desire for holiness and peace.has context menu

If you dive into reading the first five books of the Bible, you are introduced to the Law of Moses. Some if it is inspiring but a lot seems strange or even offensive! So, if you are a follower of Jesus, do Old Testament laws still apply?

This sermon will give you confidence in God who created the universe and created you for a purpose! It also explores the Genesis account of creation in light of modern day science, enabling you to see the big picture and why the two are convincingly compatible.

The Bible is the best selling book of all time but there are some tough subjects to digest! So how do you make sense of these? Theologian, author and presenter, Dr Andrew Ollerton, helps bring clarity and challenges us to trust that God’s message really is good!

How can you meet with God and hear His voice? This message will encourage you to understand the journey that begins with Praise, continues into Worship and finishes with Encounter.

Worship is an expression of the heart, but why does it also involve your body, and especially your voice? This sermon will make you smile, but it will also challenge you to see the significance of engaging your whole self in honouring God.

What does it really mean to worship in spirit and truth? After all, that’s what Jesus said the Father was looking for. This sermon will stir you to surrender more fully to God and to experience the joy of true spiritual worship.

Worship happens each Sunday in church and makes you feel good, right? Actually it is so much more - worship is for God alone! This sermon will challenge you to see worship in a different light and stir you to love God even more.

We often feel choked and crushed by the struggles and battles of life. It is like an ivy crushing the life out of a tree. Self-control is the fruit of the Spirit that cuts off what is feeding our struggles. This sermon powerfully gives clarity on how we can learn to exercise self-control and live a more fruitful life.

People often push to get their own way but God wants you to live a different way, showing humility, compassion and strength under control. This is what the Bible calls gentleness and it is a fruit of the Spirit that you can develop! This sermon will encourage, challenge and make you smile!

Faithfulness could be described as a ‘long life’ fruit of the Spirit! You don’t see it instantly in someone’s life, but over time you come to admire their ability to be so loyal and steady. So how can you grow in faithfulness? This sermon will inspire you by learning from the lives of Ruth, Jonathan and Jesus who all remained so faithful.
