Faith Church Wales

Ben provides a brief theological explanation of the purpose and symbolism of baptism, as a public declaration of faith and identification with Jesus. Following this, Hannah, Chris, Jade and Mark share personal testimonies about their journeys to faith and their decisions to get baptised.

Ben explores the biblical meaning of holiness, moving from the Old Testament understanding of being 'set apart' to the radical call to justice and compassion demonstrated by Jesus. He challenges us to move beyond surface-level religion and embrace a transformative, sacrificial love for our neighbours and enemies. True holiness is not about isolation or rigid rules, but about being mission-focused and reflecting the character of God.

In this message, Mike P explores the concept of spiritual gifts, specifically focusing on serving and leading within the church community. Mike differentiates between supernatural spiritual gifts and spiritual disciplines, encouraging congregants to find needs to serve regardless of their specific gifting.

In this message, guest speaker Martin Coleman explores the simplicity and sufficiency of the Gospel of grace through Paul’s letter to the Galatians. He challenges the tendency to add human conditions - such as right beliefs, feelings, or behaviors -to the Gospel, reminding listeners that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. This sermon serves as a call to root our identity and hope in the finished work of Jesus rather than our own religious achievements.

This morning, as we live in a world where mental health struggles, anxiety, and busyness are on the rise, Ps Mike helps us to understand the biblical rhythm of life. God does not want us to operate from a place of constant doing, but rather from a place of rest.

Jen brought a word to us from the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4, using the analogy of gardening to discuss the state of people's hearts and their relationship with God's word. During the morning, Jen reminds us that we cannot do this alone and that the church community plays a vital role in nurturing, watering, and supporting one another’s growth.

Taking on a fathering or mentoring role is a massive calling - but for many, Father’s Day can bring up heavy emotions or memories of an absent or imperfect dad.Jesus completely flipped the script on this. He showed us that God isn't a distant, harsh authority figure, but a deeply personal, loving Father. In the Lord's Prayer, He taught us to start with "Our Father," establishing that we belong before we ever ask for a thing.

In this moving and timely episode, we welcome back guest speakers Malcolm and Trish, who share powerful messages and incredible firsthand testimonies on the theme "Nothing is Wasted in God."Opening with a reflection on John Chapter 7, Malcolm unpacks the significance of the Feast of Tabernacles and Jesus’ promise that rivers of living water will flow from the hearts of those who believe.But these rivers aren't meant to be a quiet trickle within the church walls—they are meant to burst forth into our communities.

Ben takes a deep dive into the spiritual gift of wisdom. We explore what it means to lead a life defined by Godly wisdom, how it differs from worldly knowledge, and why the cross stands as the ultimate expression of God’s wisdom.Remember, no job is too big, and nothing is too small - when it comes to living out God's wisdom in our daily lives, every single action matters.

Ps Mike reflects on his personal journey through life’s challenges and the power of hope. Drawing inspiration from the story of Joseph, he explores how, even in the midst of trauma and uncertainty, we can hold onto the hope found in Jesus.

This week, Mike P explores the stark contrast between humanity’s attempt to reach God through our own efforts - the Tower of Babel - and the reality of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit descends to reach us.

In this message, Dan discusses the parable of the lost sheep from Luke 15.Drawing parallels between the story and the concept of a sheep being "found," Dan emphasises the idea that every individual is either a lost sheep or one that has been found by Jesus, the Good Shepherd, he reflects on how God’s search and rescue mission for humanity is a testament to His love and care.

This week, Pastor Mike shares a powerful message about shifting our perspective from simply "getting saved" to actively pursuing a life of faith that goes beyond the cross.

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.

Joy isn't just happiness, it's our response to what God has done.This morning Mike P discusses four songs of praise from the beginning of Luke’s Gospel and explores three parables from Luke 15: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son.Each of these stories shows the joy and praise that comes from finding something that was lost. God gives us joy and our response should be praise.

This week, Jen shares an inspiring message from the Book of Ruth about survival, blended families, and the unexpected ways God orchestrates our lives. Discover why a daughter’s faithfulness can be worth "more than seven sons" and how our small actions of trust today build the legacy of tomorrow.

Dan opens up Luke 13, reminding us that we don’t live in a world of karma where bad things only happen to bad people.Instead, he shares that through repentance and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, anyone can find hope and avoid the tragedy of perishing. This message invites you to experience God's compassionate love and encourages you to grow as part of His glorious garden.

We delve into a powerful message from Ben as he explores the central theme of the early chapters of the Gospel of Luke: Jesus’ radical inclusion of those marginalized and shunned by society.

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.”
