Faith Church Wales

Ps Mike challenges us to consider our own "horizontal" relationships with others as a reflection of our "vertical" relationship with God. If we find ourselves struggling to show mercy to those who offend us, it may be a sign that we need to draw closer to the source of ultimate mercy.

Pat reflects on the profound impact of the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival, spearheaded by figures like Evan Roberts, and how its legacy continues to inspire faith today - and how we should live out this faith.

In this message, Ben explores the Greco-Roman context of spiritual gifts, examining how Paul’s teachings in 1 Corinthians challenged the competitive and status-driven attitudes of the time.We discuss how these gifts are not indicators of personal spirituality or status, but are distributed by the Holy Spirit for the 'common good' and the edification of the entire church body.

Pastor Mike challenges us to "recapture" the true definition of a Christian, which he argues has been distorted by modern culture and politics.Drawing from the Gospels of Luke and John, he explains that being a Christian is not about "being right," but about demonstrating unconditional love and mercy, especially toward those on the margins or those who are difficult to love. He emphasizes that love is a "trajectory" - a daily choice to walk a path of life rather than a path of death, greed, or entitlement.

In this message, titled "Who is Jesus?", part of a series on the Gospel of Luke, Ps Mike explores the identity of Jesus not as a historical myth or a distant moral teacher, but as a compassionate friend and a powerful savior who actively seeks out the lost.

God gives us joy and our response should be praise.

Malcolm shares insightful observations from his recent visits to various churches, noting their growth but also a recurring struggle: a disconnect between internal church activities and meaningful community engagement. Drawing from personal stories, including a powerful account of a prophetic word regarding a couple struggling with pregnancy, he emphasises the importance of being "naturally supernatural" and stepping out in faith to serve those in need.

This week, Pastor Mike Taylor continues the question that many in our modern world are asking: "Who needs church?"Reflecting on the role of the church in today's society, Ps Mike addresses common perceptions and misconceptions. He argues that church isn't just a building or a group of people with shared beliefs; it's a community with an outward expression of Jesus Christ, committed to making a tangible difference in the world.

Ben explores the profound significance of the cross in Christianity, moving beyond simple interpretations to delve into its historical and theological depth.

True vision from God doesn't start with us striving for a bigrevelation at the beginning of the year - It comes as a result of living obediently in a Christian life.

If Christmas brought peace on earth, why does the earth still feel soun-peaceful?The angels were not naive. They were not singing a wish; they were announcing a fact.Real peace has come.Luke 2:14“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
