What "Lost" Really Means to God

Series: Lost

Preacher: Simon Lawrenson

Sunday Morning

Date: 3rd May 2026

Passage: Luke 15:1-2

-------------------

Most people think being "lost" is just about non-Christians - but Luke 15 tells a very different story. This message unpacks what it actually means to be lost, and why God's heart still moves toward the wandering.

Through the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, we'll rediscover the heart of God for people who feel far from Him - including the ones already sitting in church.

In this teaching, you'll learn:

📖 Text: Luke 15

Luke 15 is one of the clearest pictures in Scripture of how God sees people who are far from Him. Whether you've walked away, drifted slowly, or never realised you were lost in the first place, this message is a reminder that God isn't distant - He's searching. Being found isn't about being perfect; it's about being pursued by a Father who refuses to give up.

Immeasurable riches of God's grace

Series: Topical

Preacher: Joseph Diaper

Sunday Morning

Date: 26th April 2026

Passage: Ephesians 2:1-10

-------------------

You were spiritually bankrupt — and most of us still live like we are. This message unpacks the immeasurable riches of God's grace and what actually changes when you stop acting poor.

Paul doesn't sugarcoat it in Ephesians 2. We were dead, broke, and going nowhere. Then grace stepped in. The question isn't whether God is rich — it's whether you're living like a child of the King or still scraping by on your own effort.

In this teaching, you'll learn:

📖 Text: Ephesians 2:1-10

Most believers know grace as a word, but live like they're still on the hook. This message walks through Paul's blunt diagnosis of who we were, what God did, and how the immeasurable riches of His grace reshape the way Christians live, work, and relate to others. If you've been treating salvation like a ledger to balance, this one's for you.

Foundation stones of Word and Spirit

Series: Topical

Preacher: Andy King

Sunday Morning

Date: 19th April 2026

-------------------

Most Christians know about God — but far fewer actually know Him. This message on the Word and the Spirit cuts through empty religion and calls you back to real intimacy with God.

In this teaching, you'll discover:

Why having Bible knowledge without the Holy Spirit produces a hollow, powerless faith

🎙️ Series: The Word and The Spirit

Many believers settle for one or the other - head knowledge or emotional experience - but God never intended for these to be separated. The Holy Spirit without the Word leads to instability. The Word without the Holy Spirit leads to dead religion. This teaching unpacks who the Holy Spirit is, what the Word of God truly is, and how together they produce the kind of faith that reflects the Kingdom of God and carries real, lasting power. If you've ever felt like something is missing in your walk with God, this message is for you.

The Towel, Not the Title - John 13:1-17

Series: Topical

Preacher: Simon Lawrenson

Sunday Morning

Date: 12th April 2026

Passage: John 13:1-17

-------------------

What does true leadership look like?

In this special service of installation, we turn to John 13, where Jesus kneels to wash His disciples’ feet. In a moment that is both shocking and deeply moving, Jesus shows us that leadership in God’s kingdom is not about status or recognition—but humble, sacrificial service.

But this passage is more than an example to follow—it’s a picture of the gospel.

Before we can serve like Jesus, we must first be cleansed by Jesus. Drawing on the rich biblical theme of cleansing—from the Old Testament priesthood to the work of the Holy Spirit—we see how Christ, our Great High Priest, washes us from sin and calls us to extend that same grace to others.

In this message, we explore:

Why we often resist being “washed” by Jesus

Whether you’re in church leadership or simply seeking to follow Jesus more closely, this message invites you to receive His grace—and then go and serve others in His name.

He Is Risen: The Evidence, The Meaning, The Decision | Easter Sermon

Series: Easter

Preacher: Simon Lawrenson

Sunday Morning

Date: 5th April 2026

Passage: Luke 24:1-12

-------------------

He is not here—He has risen.

In this Easter sermon from Luke 24:1–12, we explore the powerful reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and what it means for us today. This is more than a tradition or a story—it’s a historical claim that changes everything.

We walk through five key movements from the resurrection account:

Love in the shadow of death

The resurrection isn’t just something to feel—it’s something to reckon with.

If the tomb is empty, then:

Jesus is who He said He is

Jesus's Triumphant Entry

Series: Easter

Preacher: Bill Diaper

Sunday Morning

Date: 29th March 2026

Passage: Luke 19:22-44

-------------------

Crowds celebrated Jesus on Palm Sunday - but still missed who He really was.

In this teaching from Luke 19:22-44, we explore the danger of proximity without true understanding. Palm Sunday isn’t just about celebration - it’s a warning.

You can be around Jesus but still misunderstand Him

📖 Text: Luke 19:22–44

This Palm Sunday sermon unpacks how the crowd welcomed Jesus as King - but rejected Him days later. It’s a powerful reminder that Easter isn’t just about emotion or tradition, but recognising Jesus for who He truly is. If you’ve ever struggled with unmet expectations, doubt, or confusion about God’s plan, this message speaks directly to that.

If God’s grace has really changed you, it should show up in how you live. This Bible teaching on Christian behaviour from Titus 3 shows what that actually looks like.

Titus 2 - Grace that Forms us

Series: When Grace Shows Up - Titus

Preacher: Simon Lawrenson

Sunday Morning

Date: 15th March 2026

Passage: Titus 2:1-15

-------------------

What does a life shaped by grace actually look like?

In Titus 2, the Apostle Paul describes a community where ordinary people—older men, older women, younger men, and younger women—are slowly being transformed into people of stability, wisdom, faithfulness, and self-control.

But this passage is not a moral checklist.

It’s a picture of what happens when the grace of God shines on ordinary lives.

Just like the famous “Firefall” in Yosemite—where a simple waterfall suddenly glows like fire when the sun hits it—our everyday lives become radiant when the grace of Christ illuminates them.

In this sermon, we explore how:

• Sound doctrine produces spiritual health

The Christian life isn’t about perfection.

📖 Passage: Titus 2:1–15
