What does it mean to truly live like Jesus?

In this practical and challenging message, Dave explores Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:41: “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.”

Going the extra mile is about more than simply doing what is expected of us. It means choosing generosity, kindness and sacrificial love — even when we don’t have to, and even when the other person may not deserve it.

Dave challenges us to consider the difference between simply doing our duty and going beyond what is expected. Whether it’s helping someone who has dropped their belongings, serving our family without being asked, welcoming someone new at church, or giving our time and resources generously, these small choices can build relationships and demonstrate the values of God’s Kingdom.

The message also challenges us to examine what we treasure. Jesus teaches that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Our attitude towards money, possessions, time and generosity reveals what matters most to us.

Ultimately, we can go the extra mile because God has already gone far beyond what we could ever deserve. Everything we have belongs to Him, and He has generously given us the greatest gift of all — His Son, Jesus Christ. Our generosity is therefore not about earning God’s favour; it is a response to the incredible generosity and grace He has already shown us.

Going the extra mile isn’t a duty — it’s a privilege. As we allow God to change our hearts, we can become people who give generously, serve joyfully, forgive freely and look for opportunities to go beyond what is expected.

Denise Griffiths explores one of the Bible’s simplest and most challenging instructions from Micah 6:8: to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God.

Using the picture of a walk and plenty of interactive illustrations, Denise shows that following God isn’t about trying to fulfil hundreds of complicated religious rules. Instead, God calls us to live out these three simple principles in our everyday lives.

Acting justly means noticing unfairness and doing something about it — choosing honesty, including others, listening, sharing fairly and standing alongside those who are overlooked or treated unfairly.

Loving mercy means more than simply showing kindness occasionally. It means developing a heart that loves to forgive, give people another chance, care for those who are hurting and include those who feel left out. Denise reminds us that Jesus modelled this kind of mercy throughout his life.

Finally, we are called to walk humbly with God. Our Christian journey doesn’t happen in one giant leap. Like a long walk, it happens one step at a time — through prayer, acts of kindness, choosing forgiveness and faithfully following Jesus through whatever terrain life brings.

Wherever you are on your journey, God invites you to keep walking with him: one step at a time.

What does it really mean to believe that God loves you? And how does knowing His love change the way we live as Christians?

Rick Robertson of Jubilee Church Wirral explores 1 John 4:7–21 and shows that God’s love isn’t simply an idea we learn about – it is the foundation from which we live the Christian life.

Rick looks at three key truths:

1. Love begins with God.

2. God’s love has been revealed through Jesus.

3. We need to choose to believe God’s love.

Rick also explores the important biblical word “propitiation”, explaining how Jesus’ death dealt with the problem of sin and removed the barrier that stood between us and God.

Ultimately, the message is simple but profound: God knows you completely, and He continues to choose to love you. His love is not dependent on our performance or perfection. As we become rooted in that love, we are increasingly able to love others with the same self-giving, sacrificial and forgiving love that we have received from Him.

“We love because he first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19

In ‘The Mark of a True Christian’, Ola Dosunmu of Jubilee Church Wirral looks at Romans 12:9-21, showing that the evidence of genuine faith is seen not simply in what we believe, but in how we live. After explaining God’s saving grace throughout the first eleven chapters of Romans, the Apostle Paul turns to the practical outworking of the gospel, revealing the characteristics that should mark every follower of Jesus.

Ola explores three key marks of a true Christian:

– The Sacrifice of Love: Christ’s sacrificial death gives believers a completely new identity. As we spend time with Jesus, the Holy Spirit continues His work of transforming us from the inside out.

The Christian life is not about outward religion but about allowing God’s love to shape every part of our lives. As we grow closer to Jesus, His character becomes increasingly visible through us.

As part of Jubilee Church Wirral’s Foundations for Life series, Chris Griffiths explores one of life’s most fundamental questions: “Who am I?”

Chris contrasts the labels the world places on us with the unchanging identity God gives to everyone who belongs to Christ.

The world constantly seeks to define people by appearance, background, achievements, status, abilities or circumstances. These labels can easily lead to comparison, division, insecurity and conflict. But the gospel offers a completely different starting point: before anything else, believers are children of God.

Drawing on passages including John 1:12, Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 5:17 and Galatians 3:28, Chris explains that when we place our faith in Jesus, our primary identity changes forever. We are no longer defined by our past, our failures, our successes or the opinions of others. Instead, we are loved, chosen, accepted, redeemed, forgiven, restored and made new in Christ.

Sharing his own powerful testimony, Chris reflects on a difficult childhood marked by family breakdown and responsibility beyond his years, before explaining how giving his life to Jesus at the age of fourteen transformed his understanding of who he was. Rather than allowing his circumstances to define him, he discovered the love, fatherhood and acceptance of God that became the foundation of his identity.

Chris also shares how this truth sustained him through his recent cancer journey. In the midst of uncertainty, his greatest confidence was not found in his circumstances but in knowing that he belonged to Jesus. That identity gave him peace, hope and strength when everything else felt uncertain.

The message concludes by reminding believers of the unshakable truths that flow from being God’s children. In Christ our sins are forgiven, our future is secure, our souls are redeemed and our relationship with God is restored. These are the truths Christians are called to hold onto, even when the voices of the world seek to tell a different story.

Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for many years, this encouraging message points back to the foundation of the Christian life: our identity is not something we earn or create—it is something God graciously gives through Jesus Christ.

In this message, Graham explores the rich truths found in 2 Corinthians 13:14, showing how one verse contains four foundational Christian doctrines: the Trinity, grace, the Father’s love (which he connects with God’s sovereign election), and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

Graham begins by explaining the doctrine of the Trinity—one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although the word “Trinity” isn’t found in the Bible, he shows how Scripture consistently reveals God’s triune nature, pointing to passages such as Jesus’ baptism, the Great Commission, and Genesis 1. He explains that Jesus is fully God and has existed eternally with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

He then focuses on the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, emphasising that salvation and the Christian life are entirely based on God’s undeserved favour rather than human effort. Reflecting on his own experience, Graham shares how he spent years trying to earn God’s approval through religious performance before discovering the freedom of living under God’s grace instead of legalism.

Next, Graham explores the love of God the Father, teaching that God’s love is rooted in His sovereign choice and eternal purpose. He discusses the biblical doctrines of election and predestination, explaining how he initially struggled with these teachings before becoming convinced that salvation belongs to God from beginning to end. He encourages believers to find deep assurance in knowing that nothing can separate them from God’s love and that He faithfully keeps those He has called.

Finally, Graham highlights the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, reminding Christians that the Spirit is not simply a doctrine but a personal companion who fills, strengthens, and empowers believers daily. He encourages continual dependence on the Holy Spirit, inviting God’s presence afresh and cultivating a close friendship with Him.

Throughout the message, Graham combines biblical teaching with personal testimony, encouraging Christians to rest in God’s grace, trust His sovereign love, and live daily in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. He concludes by inviting people to receive prayer and to seek a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit.

Reflecting on Christ’s incredible sacrifice, he explores what salvation truly means—deliverance, safety, and restoration—and challenges us not only to receive God’s grace but to live it out every day.

Drawing from passages including 2 Corinthians 6:2, Romans 13:11–12, and Jesus’ parables of the hidden treasure and the talents, Manny encourages us to make Christ our greatest treasure, turn away from sin, carry our cross daily, and boldly share the good news with others.

The message is a call to respond to God’s love without delay, because now is the day of salvation.

Key Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 6:2, Romans 13:11–12, Matthew 13:44, Matthew 25:14–30.

Sylvia shares a powerful teaching from Luke 18, where Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical encouragement, Sylvia reminds us that prayer isn’t a one-time event—it’s a lifestyle of faith, persistence, and relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Sylvia also shares personal stories of God’s faithfulness, encouraging every believer to keep trusting, keep praying, and keep believing that God hears those who cry out to Him day and night.

Don’t give up. Keep praying. God is faithful.

Who is the true Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.)?

While sports legends like Messi, Pelé, and Ronaldo eventually see their greatness fade with time and age, there is one person whose greatness remains consistent yesterday, today, and forever.

In this preach, Dave Frodsham dives into Luke 9 to explore three critical questions that define our faith:

There’s a big difference between simply knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him personally – do you know Him today?
