Family Church Sermons

You say you believe in Jesus—but is your faith real, or just a transaction to secure eternal life? Paul and a dying thief show us what genuine surrender looks like. Idolatry manipulates God to get what you want. Faith admits you need saving and trusts Him completely.

You wake up wondering if this year will be different. You scroll through highlights of other lives and feel the sting of comparison. But what if your purpose isn't found by chasing what others have—what if it's unlocked by simply doing the next right thing in front of you?

You plan, you work, your plans fail. Solomon tried wealth, pleasure, learning — found it all meaningless. But what if there's a plan older than time itself, never once revised, that turns futility into purpose? God's pattern through Scripture reveals one unshakable truth: you're invited into something far bigger than your best efforts.

You make plans, but they change constantly—sometimes overnight. When your mind races at 3 AM and your year already feels uncertain, you need more than better planning. You need to align your life with the one purpose that cannot fail, starting with how you treat the person right in front of you.

Should you celebrate Christmas if it's not in Scripture? Peter Stoffberg examines cultural objections to Christmas, clarifies its history, and shows why Romans 14 gives you freedom to celebrate what honors Christ. If doubt about Christmas traditions has unsettled you, this sermon reframes celebration around gratitude for what Jesus has already done.

The world calls the virgin birth anti-scientific myth. Scripture calls it necessary, prophesied, and the hinge on which all redemptive history turns. If Jesus wasn't born of a virgin, He was just a man—and His words are just opinions. But if He was, everything changes.

Why would foreign scholars travel thousands of miles to honour a newborn king? The Magi's journey reveals what worship looks like when you recognise who Jesus truly is — King, God, and Saviour. Their gifts weren't just expensive; they testified to His identity and the reason He came.

Christmas feels hollow when you're just going through the motions. Mary didn't treasure the tinsel—she treasured God's work in her life, pondering it when everything made sense and when nothing did. What if the meaning you're missing isn't in your circumstances, but in what you've stored up in your heart?

You know Psalm 23, but do you know the shepherd? When death frightens, when sin wanders, when life feels unsafe — only Christ can restore what's broken. Discover why Jesus called himself the good shepherd, what it means that your soul needs restoring, and how to face death without fear.

When seven exorcists try to use Jesus' name like a magic spell, a demon attacks them—exposing the difference between religious ritual and real authority. If you've relied on anything other than Jesus to fight fear or shame, this sermon will show you why only His name sets you free.
