Sunday message from 27 July 2025 on Matthew 5:20-26

In this episode, you’ll explore what true righteousness looks like in everyday life—beyond seeking approval, success, or self-worth. Through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, you’ll see that real righteousness isn’t about outward actions but a heart shaped by love and mercy. You will be reminded that this righteousness is a gift—given to you through faith and baptism—not something you earn. You’ll be encouraged to live in that grace, reflecting Christ’s love in how you treat others.

Sunday message from 15 June 2025 on Acts 2:1-21

In this Holy Trinity Sunday sermon, you will learn how the Holy Spirit is your helper, comforter, and advocate, always pointing you to Jesus. You’ll explore how Pentecost connects to the Jewish Feast of Weeks and how the Spirit empowered the disciples to share the Gospel in many languages. The Spirit still works today: convicting sin, comforting with the Gospel, and strengthening faith through Word and Sacrament. The Spirit is not about emotional experiences, but about preparing you for Christ’s return and keeping you rooted in God’s promises.

In this Pentecost sermon, you’ll learn how the Holy Spirit works in your life to strengthen your faith, connect you to Jesus, and give you lasting peace.

Sunday message from 1 June 2025 on John 15:26-16:4

This sermon begins with the story of Hatun Tash—a Christian from Turkey enduring brutal persecution in London, including being stabbed and imprisoned for her faith. Yet she still proclaims Jesus with boldness. As you listen, you will learn to rest entirely on God’s grace when suffering threatens to overwhelm you. Persecution of the Christian church is very present globally (over 12 believers killed and 20 church buildings attacked every day). However, the account tells you of the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who, in the face of such darkness, continually reminds you to trust in His working in you and those you witness to and in Christ’s victory over sin and death.

Sunday message from 25 May 2025 on John 16:23-33

In this sermon, discover how prayer is not a way to earn God's attention, but a response to the grace you already have in Christ. You will explore the connection between William Tyndale’s final, faithful prayer and Jesus’ words in John 16, inviting Christians to pray in His name with boldness and trust. As you listen, be reminded that your prayers are heard not because of your worthiness, but because you stand in Jesus' perfect righteousness. Prayer is a gift grounded in the Gospel—not a performance, but a privilege. You can pray with confidence, knowing that Jesus has already overcome sin and death for you.

Sunday message from 18 May 2025 on John 16:5-15

In this sermon, you’re invited to walk alongside Jesus and his disciples during their final meal before the cross. You’ll hear (from previous chapters before the text used as the sermon's focus) how Jesus, in an act of pure servant-hearted grace, washes the disciples’ feet—even as he predicts Judas’ betrayal. As you listen, you’ll see yourself in the disciples' confusion and doubt, especially in Peter and Thomas. But through their struggles, you'll discover the comfort Jesus shares: the promise of the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—not by your efforts, but through faith in Christ alone. Unbelief is the root of sin, yet Jesus meets you with mercy and gives you his righteousness as a free gift. This conversation will leave you grounded in the peace that comes from knowing that your salvation doesn’t rest on your understanding, but on Christ’s finished work for you.
