Sunday 28th June: Dub Everitt closes the LPTJ series with stories of the wonderful ways God has been using Welcome Church, where he is Outreach Pastor, to reach many people with the gospel. 50 baptisms last year; the same number projected for this year. Let's pray and dream about what God would do with us...

Sunday 21st June - Dan Roach preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:8. This sermon argues that “sharing is caring,” reframing evangelism as an act of love. By unmuting our faith and crossing the “pain line” with gentleness, we introduce others to Jesus, trusting Him to transform lives through our simple, verbal witness.

Sunday 14th June: Lydia Pavey preaches from Luke 5, which reframes evangelism as a collaborative, persistent act of love. By “carrying the mat” together and using our unique giftings, we can introduce others to Jesus, the only one who transforms broken and dislocated lives.

Sunday 7th June - Joe and Kez Greenhalgh preach from Acts 2:42-47. This sermon explores "loving people into community" by sharing friends to build "relational momentum". By creating outward-focused groups through shared hobbies and hospitality, the church family becomes a welcoming space where others experience God’s love and find belonging.

Sunday 31st May - Huw Hadden preaches from Colossians 4:2-6 about the power of prayer in evangelism. The sermon explores how believing in the sovereignty of God and the clear call for believers to pray, boosts our confidence in prayer. The 3 for 30 challenge was laid out to the church at the end!

Sunday 24th May – Guy Miller preaches from Matthew 13:1-23. This prophetic message envisions Grace Church as a garden with four growth areas: youth, leadership, ministry to the poor, and receiving from and going to the nations. By cultivating "ears to hear" and deep roots, the church transforms trials into fruitfulness, becoming a well-watered restorer of their community.

Sunday 17th May - Dave Rogers preaches from Matthew 28. This sermon reframes evangelism as a relational act of love rather than pressure. The sermon explores the fact that we can obey the Great Commission by fulfilling the Great Commandment - believers share their lives, friends, and invitations, pointing others toward our glorious, risen, and compassionate Saviour, Jesus.

Sunday 10th May - Dan Roach preaches from 2 Corinthians 8 and 9. This sermon explores biblical giving, rooted in the grace of Jesus Christ. Motivated by love rather than obligation, believers give cheerfully. Such generosity fuels personal spiritual growth while advancing God’s global mission.

Sunday 3rd May - Dave Rogers explores biblical leadership as Grace Church appoints new elders and deacons. Grounded in the book of Acts, this sermon explores leadership serving as a "trellis" for flourishing rather than control; leadership for cultivation of people not extraction. By keeping Jesus central, the church releases servant leaders to fuel the mission of God.
