Hope City Church Edinburgh Sunday Sermons

When everything feels small or broken, Haggai reminds us that God is still powerfully at work — and His presence, now fully revealed in Jesus, changes everything.

We're taking a break from our series in Matthew as we explore Haggai 1:1-15 where God speaks through the prophet Haggai to remind the people to stop delaying the rebuilding of His temple. Encouraged by the message, the leaders and people respond with renewed energy and begin the work with reverence and commitment.

Ever felt spiritually frozen? Like your faith has seized up, and you're just going through the motions? You're not alone. In this message, we explore the story of Jesus' appearance to his disciples after the resurrection – a group who were scared, confused, and utterly heartbroken. See how Jesus meets them in their fear and doubt, offering not just his presence, but tangible proof of his love. Discover how Jesus' patient grace thaws their cold hearts and ignites a mission that would change the world.

Join us as we spend time in worship and reflection this Easter weekend as we remember the sacrifice of Jesus on Good Friday and celebrate His resurrection on Easter Sunday.

When the Jesus returns in glory, He’ll separate people like a divine shepherd—those who cared for the hungry, thirsty, and lonely get welcomed into eternal joy, while the rest get an awkward eternal time-out. Apparently, every small act of kindness was secretly a service to the King Himself—so yes, that sandwich really mattered.

Did you know Jesus gives a big thumbs up to risky traders and a thumbs down to those who play it safe? What's he trying to tell us about using the gifts he's given you? Join us as we unpack the surprising parable of the bags of gold (Matthew 25:14) and discover how to be faithful even with what seems like little.

Expectation and delay, preparation and disarray, celebration and dismay: this parable presents powerful contrasts. Discover how these themes challenge us to examine our own readiness for the return of Christ.

Jesus is answering the disciples question: "When will this happen and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus says we aren't going to know when Jesus is going to return, but we know he will, so be ready!

Jesus warns of future hardships and false prophets, but assures us his words are lasting and he will return, offering ultimate hope and salvation. Instead of fearing the unknown, we should live faithfully, trusting in Jesus' promise to make all things right. 

Jesus predicts the destruction of the temple and warns of false prophets, wars, famines, and persecution. He emphasizes that the gospel will be preached to all nations, urging believers to remain steadfast in faith amid trials.
