Christchurch Sermons

As we celebrate Harvest, we welcome our dear friend, Jonathan Thomas to preach 2 Corinthians 8 and show us how the gospel of Christ’s poverty inspires a heart of mercy among his people.

“I believe that in all men’s lives at certain periods, and in many men’s lives at all periods between infancy and extreme old age, one of the most dominant elements is the desire to be inside the local Ring and the terror of being left outside…” CS Lewis

In Matthew 18: 5-10, Jesus speaks against one of the strongest instincts of human kind, the desire to form cliques and separate from those society deem lesser.

Listen as Lewis Roderick shows us Christ’s vision for a welcoming church.

How can a life of deliberate obscurity be the way of flourishing? What does Jesus mean when he calls us disciples to be ‘like children’ and how can this counter-cultural way of living free us from our status-anxiety.

Listen in as Lewis Roderick begins Life Together, our short sermon series on church interrelationships.

On Sunday August 25, we welcomed Sammy Davies from Ammanford Evangelical Church to preach to us this simple and yet profound parable of Christ’s Kingdom.

God is not like the judge and we are not the same as the widow in this story. He delights to give us what we need and we already have everything in Christ. So we keep on in prayer and hope.

Jesus Christ is all compassion. In our need, he never passes us by.

In this parable, we glimpse a Saviour who stays by our side and tends our wounds. And then sends us to go and do likewise. 

On Sunday August 4, we were delighted to welcome back our dear friend, Clive Bowsher to preach. Listen as he speaks to us from Luke 10: 25-37. 

In the midst of teaching his disciples about the cost of following him, Jesus uses a bystander’s selfish demand to warn against the dangers of coveting the wrong treasure as the meaning of life.
