Disciples Church Sermons
by Disciples Church Springfield
Disciples Church Springfield is an independent, evangelical church, keen to impact the greater Springfield area with the grace of the Gospel. Our Lead Pastor is Callum Mansfield. Our vision is that every member of the Church will know Jesus enough to follow Him, love God enough to obey Him, love people enough to serve them, trust the Father enough to risk everything to advance His kingdom, and trust the Holy Spirit enough to let Him change them and use them for His glory.

Episodes
-
Filled by the Spirit
What does it mean to be filled by the Spirit - and can you be filled if he already lives in you? Discover how the filling of the Spirit empowers us to resist temptation, worship wholeheartedly, and build up the church as we seek the God who fills.
-
Seeing by the Spirit
Have you ever understood something about Jesus in your head, yet longed for it to come alive in your heart? A precious stone can look ordinary until the light reveals its beauty. What happens when the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to Christ Join us as we explore how the Spirit shines through God’s...
-
Adopted by the Spirit
How do we know we truly belong to God? In Romans 8, Paul reminds us that the Holy Spirit brings us out of fear and into the confidence of being God’s children. This week, we explore how the Spirit assures us of our place in the Father’s family, teaches us to cry “Abba, Father,” and helps us live...
-
Born again
This Sunday we explore what it means to be born again by the Spirit - not improved, inspired or made more religious, but given an entirely new life. Jesus says the Christian life begins with a miracle only the Spirit can perform - making what was spiritually dead come alive.
-
Who is the Spirit
What if the Christian life was never meant to be lived by trying harder, but by learning to live with the personal and empowering presence of God Himself dwelling within us? This Sunday we begin our BY THE SPIRIT series as we open Romans 8 and discover the key not just to knowing about God, but…

Psalm 70
When you’re in trouble, who do you turn to? For most of us, it’s usually our parents or maybe a sibling or good friend. But we can also turn to God. If we are convinced of His greatness, His kindness and mercy, then we will readily see Him not just as Saviour, but friend and helper.
-
Psalm 145
As we move into the V-max cinema there is much to give thanks and praise to God for. But our praise should extend beyond more, better seats and a bigger screen. The almighty God of the universe has literally moved Heaven and Earth in order to have an eternal relationship with us. When we soberly...
-
Do not grow weary
In the final chapter of our The Heart of Care series we see how Paul wraps up his letters to the Thessalonians by reminding them of the faithfulness and the steadfastness of Christ.
-
When care gets practical
This Sunday, we make it to the end of 1 Thessalonians as we see what happens when care gets practical. Paul’s final instructions give us a picture of the gospel in motion - a Spirit-filled community where we honour our leaders, care wisely for one another, pursue what is good, and live with joy,...
-
Standing fast together
Last week, we saw the call to share our lives together - but what about when life is messy or difficult? In 1 Thessalonians 3, we see that gospel-shaped care draws near in those moments which leads to a courage and strength that helps us stand fast in the Lord together.
-
Sharing our lives
This Sunday in our HEART OF CARE series, we turn to 1 Thessalonians 2 to see that Christian care is far more than kind words or practical help - it is sharing our very lives with one another. As Paul points us to the self-giving love of Christ, we'll discover that genuine care always costs us...
-
Loved by God
This Sunday in our HEART OF CARE series, we turn to 1 Thessalonians 2 to see that Christian care is far more than kind words or practical help—it is sharing our very lives with one another. As Paul points us to the self-giving love of Christ, we'll discover that genuine care always costs us...
-
Psalm 95
This Sunday we are opening Psalm 95 and hearing its call to come before the Lord with joyful praise, humble worship, and soft hearts. It reminds us that true worship is more than singing songs - it is gladly listening to God’s voice and trusting him today.
-
Psalm 50
Following Jesus is more about a relationship than rule-following. God isn’t into religion that boasts self-righteous performance while neglecting the needs of others. What he really wants is to be in fellowship with his creation. Jesus, the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, provides the bridge...
-
REVIEW: Clothed for the battle
This Sunday, we continue thinking about the spiritual battle by turning to Ephesians 6:10–20 and the armour of God. Because Jesus has already won our freedom, we are not called to fight in fear, but to stand firm in his strength, equipped for the battle before us.
-
The Nephilim (Gen 6:3-4)
This Sunday, Genesis 6 pulls back the curtain on counterfeit power as spiritual rebellion and human ambition joined together in a world desperate to be as mighty as the 'Nephilim". But Jesus defeats the powers not by becoming monstrous, but through the cross, disarming darkness and giving his...
-
Sons of God (Gen 6:1-2)
This Sunday, we move into Genesis 6 where the boundary between heaven and earth is crossed, and corruption and chaos spread through the world. But this strange and confronting passage points us to the greater Son of God, who came down not to seize, but to save - defeating the spiritual powers and...
-
Noah (Gen 5:24-32)
Why when we stop, are we still restless? This week in our final Genesis 5 sermon, we see that Noah points restless people to the deeper rest of God’s presence, and Jesus gives that rest by finishing the curse’s power and filling us with his Spirit.
-
REVIEW: Walking with Jesus
This Sunday, we’re pressing into what it actually looks like to walk with Jesus today. Together, we’ll explore how the New Testament describes discipleship as a Spirit-empowered “walkabout” with Christ - learning what it means to follow him daily by faith, draw near to him, and become more like him.
-
Enoch (Gen 5:5-24)
This Sunday, we meet Enoch - a man who walked with God and then did not die, because God took him to be with himself. In a genealogy where death keeps interrupting every generation, Enoch shows us that walking with God leads to life - and points us to Jesus, who has conquered death and brings us...
-
Genealogies (Gen 5:1-4)
Genesis 5 isn’t just a list of names - it’s a family line of promise. While Cain’s line shows the spread of sin and death, this genealogy shows who belongs to God’s blessing. The world asks for your résumé, but God asks whose family you belong to - and in Jesus, that changes everything.
-
Thinking Generationally (Gen 5:1a)
This Sunday, we begin to walk through Genesis 5 where we see that gospel frees us from living small, immediate, self-contained lives. How? Because in Jesus our story is caught up into God’s much bigger story - and when you see him for who he is, you can’t help but live with a generational...
-
Arise my soul
This Sunday, we step into Acts 2:14–41 as Peter proclaims the risen Jesus - and hearts are cut to the core as the call to repent and rise to new life goes out. As the last sermon in our ARISE series, we’ll see how the resurrection doesn’t just wake a crowd, but awakens the soul.
-
Filled with the Spirit
This Sunday, in our ARISE series, we move from resurrection to outpouring as we see the Spirit of God bring new life and bold witness in Acts 2:1–13. Come and discover how the same Spirit who raised Jesus now fills His people—turning fear into fire and silence into proclamation.
-
Death's defeat (Good Friday 2026)
This Friday is Good Friday and we are gathering to behold the moment Jesus went through death to bring us life. As we stand at the cross, we see that what looked like defeat was actually victory - death undone, hope secured, and the first light of resurrection breaking through.
-
Call upon the Name (Gen 4:25-26)
Between promise and fulfilment, Cain's line make a name for themselves, but Seth's line "call upon the name of the Lord" - trusting his character, asking him to act on his promises, and waiting for his timing. This Sunday we see how this reaches its fulfilment in Jesus, the name of God revealed…

REVIEW: A better city
This Sunday, we'll look at how Jesus has begun a new city founded on humility and sacrificial love, yet we still live surrounded by the City of Cain. So what does it actually look like for citizens of God’s kingdom to live differently in a world built on pride, revenge, and power?
-
The city of Cain (Gen 4:17-24)
This Sunday, we explore the City of Cain where Cain builds the first city in an attempt to replace the presence of God. As culture advances but violence grows, we’ll see how the Bible contrasts the City of Cain with the City of God. One is built on power and pride while the other is filled with...
-
East of Eden (Gen 4:12-16)
This Sunday, we see that Cain's punishment sends him East of Eden, but this is no ordinary exile. Genesis has been quietly building toward something that has been preparing us for the sacrificial system to come and pointing us to the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
-
Blood cries out (Gen 4:10-11)
This Sunday, we see that Abel’s blood cries out from the ground for justice, exposing a world where innocent blood pollutes the land and demands reckoning. But in the gospel, Jesus’ blood speaks a better word - not denying justice, but satisfying it - so that those who deserve condemnation are...
-
REVIEW: The freedom that fights back
This Sunday, after three weeks tracing the firstborn, the Croucher, and the war of two seeds, we slow down and ask the question that really matters: how do we deal with the sin croucher in the ordinary moments of our lives? Pastor Sly will help us move from theology to practice—learning, in…
more -
The seed of the serpent (Gen 4:8-9)
This Sunday, we see that Cain’s murder of Abel does not simply mark a moral failure, but reveals his true allegiance. By rejecting his brother, Cain proves himself to be seed of the serpent. But through Jesus, the true seed of the woman, God establishes a new family, showing that children of God...
-
The croucher (Gen 4:5b-7)
This Sunday, we see that sin is not behaviour or desire, but a crouching beast within whose insatiable desire is to consume its host. Where Cain foolishly feeds the creature and becomes enslaved by it, Jesus - fully human and without sin - starves the beast in life, absorbs its full power of…
more -
The Firstborn (Gen 4:1-5a)
This Sunday we jump back into our Genesis to Jesus series where, in chapter 4, we’ll see how the story of Cain and Abel reveals a long line of firstborns who tried to secure God’s favour by their own strength - and failed. Together we’ll trace that longing through Scripture, until it leads us to...
-
Psalm 116
This Sunday, guest preacher Rich Priebbenow opens Psalm 116 to show us a deeply personal song of thanksgiving, where a rescued life responds to a God who hears and saves. God’s Abundant Grace reminds us that worship begins not with what we promise God, but with remembering what He has already done.
-
The Power of Forgiveness
This Sunday we look at The Power of Forgiveness from our Forgiven series as Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18:21–35 exposes just how deeply we’ve been forgiven - and how that changes the way we treat others. Come and see how the gospel doesn’t just call us to forgive, but gives us the power to do it.
-
Joy
This Sunday in The Promise of Christmas, we turn to Joy – a joy promised through Isaiah that runs deeper than circumstances and refuses to be shaken. We’ll see how that promise is fulfilled in Christ, who brings lasting joy not by changing everything around us, but by coming near to us.
-
Peace
This Sunday in our Advent series The Promise of Christmas we’ll see how Isaiah promised a peace far deeper than the absence of conflict — a wholeness only God can restore. And we’ll celebrate how that peace is finally fulfilled in Jesus, the true Prince of Peace who makes us whole at Christmas.
-
Hope
This Sunday we kick off our Advent Series by exploring the promise of hope - the kind Isaiah spoke of when he pointed a weary people to a God who would not abandon them. In a world full of uncertainty, Isaiah reminds us that hope isn’t wishful thinking but confidence in the God who keeps His word.
-
Forever
This Sunday we’ll wrap up our Hebrews WORTHSHIP series with FOREVER, seeing that Jesus - and his unshakable kingdom - stands firm when everything else shakes and fades. As Sinai and Zion collide on a cosmic scale, we’ll discover how the forever nature of Christ’s kingdom reshapes how we live,...
-
Greater
This Sunday, we’re exploring Hebrews 12 and seeing why Jesus is worthy of our worship - because His love is greater, His holiness is greater, and He lifts weary hearts into a greater, deeper worship. Join us as we discover how tired believers find strength, joy, and holiness in Christ alone.
-
Stronger
This Sunday we’re stepping into Hebrews 11–12 to explore a faith that doesn’t depend on our strength, but on the One who has already run — and won — the race for us. Come discover why real strength begins where sight ends.
-
Fuller
We all know what guilt feels like - that heavy sense of not being enough, of falling short again. In Hebrews 9–10, we see that God once gave Israel a system to deal with guilt, but it could only ever go so far. This week, we see that Jesus’ sacrifice does what no other could - fully cleansing our...
-
Better
We all know the feeling of holding onto something outdated even after something better has arrived. That’s the old covenant — real, but temporary, a shadow preparing the way. In Jesus we are given something better — a better priest, a better covenant, with better promises that don’t fade or fail.
-
Nearer
We were made to live near God, but sin and self keep us at a distance - like a curtain still saying keep out. Jesus, our Great High Priest, has gone behind the curtain for us and anchored us in the presence of God. Because of His worth, the unworthy may now draw near with confidence - not fear.
