Earlier this year, Excel Church launched the Healthy Church series, where we explored how we, as Christians and as the body of Christ, all play a vital role in the health and growth of the Church.

Now we’re stepping into a brand-new Church Health series, taking a deeper look at who we are as a church and the calling God has placed upon us. In today’s sermon, Pastor Dek Dudfield shares the importance of having a clear vision, a clear purpose, and a clear understanding of where God is leading His Church.

We pray this message encourages and strengthens you as we continue building a healthy, Christ-centred church together.

Pastor Dek Dudfield explores one of the greatest realities of the Christian faith — the devastating impact that sin has on our lives, our hearts, and our relationship with God, and the incredible hope found through Jesus Christ. In Death to Life, we journey from brokenness to redemption, uncovering how the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus made a way for humanity to be restored, forgiven, and truly alive. This is a message of grace, transformation, and the power of the cross to change everything.

In this week’s podcast, our youth pastor, Will Jenkins, talks about the problems many of us have with praise. He explores what praise truly is—and what it isn’t—and how genuine praise can deepen and strengthen our relationship with God.

In this week’s podcast, we’re being led by our visiting speaker, Pastor Graham Field, and he’s challenging us to do something powerful — take out the trash.

So often as Christians, we focus on what we need to add into our lives — more prayer, more faith, more commitment, more service. But sometimes growth isn’t just about what we put in… it’s also about what we need to remove.

What attitudes, habits, thought patterns, or distractions have we allowed to build up? 

This message invites us to pause, reflect, and clear out what no longer belongs — because a healthy life in Christ isn’t just about addition, it’s also about subtraction.

Let’s lean in as Pastor Graham helps us take out the trash and make room for what God truly wants to do in our lives.

So this is a brand-new podcast episode, and this week’s message is brought to us by the wonderful Chipo Mwale.

Chippo takes us into the book of Matthew, where we find the religious leaders attempting to trap Jesus with a question: What is the greatest commandment given in the Bible? Jesus responds with clarity and authority — to love the Lord your God and to love others.

But what does it really mean to love God with all your heart in today’s world — a world full of noise, pressure, and constant distraction? 

This episode challenges us to examine our hearts, refocus our devotion, and rediscover what wholehearted love for God truly looks like in the modern day.

“Welcome back to the podcast, and to the final part of our 2026 preaching series Church Health starts with me. Throughout this series, we’ve talked about getting fixed, understanding that church health starts with you, and feeding on the Word of God. Today, we bring it all together by focusing on living it daily — and facing the challenges that come with it.

As part of our 2026 strapline here at Excel Church, ‘Get Fixed for 2026,’ this episode is about moving from inspiration to application. Because a healthy church isn’t built on good intentions alone, but on believers who choose to live out their faith every single day, even when it’s difficult.

Real life brings pressure, distractions, and obstacles — but God’s grace empowers us to stay consistent, faithful, and rooted. So join us as we talk honestly about the challenges, and how we can live out a healthy, God-honouring faith daily as we step forward into 2026 together.”

“Welcome back to the podcast, and to part three of our 2026 preaching series "Church Health Starts With Me. So far, we’ve talked about getting fixed and understanding that church health starts with you. Today, we go even deeper as we focus on a vital foundation of a healthy believer and a healthy church — feeding on the Word of God.

As part of our 2026 strapline here at Excel Church, ‘Get Fixed for 2026,’ this episode is about developing a hunger for God’s Word, allowing it to shape our lives, and letting truth strengthen us from the inside out.

A healthy church is built on believers who are rooted in Scripture, guided by truth, and nourished daily by God’s Word. So join us as we explore what it means to feed on the Word of God and grow stronger for everything ahead in 2026.”

“Welcome back to the podcast, and to episode two of our 2026 preaching series on 'Church Health Starts With Me'. As we continue this journey, we’re shifting the focus a little closer to home, because church health starts with you.

As part of our 2026 strapline here at Excel Church — ‘Get Fixed for 2026’ — this episode is all about personal alignment, spiritual responsibility, and understanding the role each of us plays in building a healthy church.

A healthy church isn’t just about structures or systems — it’s about healthy people. So today, we’re diving into what it really means to get fixed personally, so together we can become everything God is calling us to be in 2026.”

As we kick-start 2026, we’re launching a brand-new preaching series "Church Health Starts With Me". Over the coming weeks, we’ll be diving into key topics that help us strengthen our faith, sharpen our purpose, and make sure our church health is truly on point for the year ahead.

Our 2026 strapline here at Excel Church is simple but powerful: ‘Get Fixed for 2026.’

This series is all about alignment, renewal, and building a healthy church from the inside out. So join us as we get fixed, get focused, and get ready for everything God has in store for 2026.”

In this sermon Pastor Eva asks us to use the Word of God as our mirror. Do we reflect the image of God in our daily walk with him ?
