New Creation Family Church Sermons

In this Christmas message, Craig reminds us that joy is not the absence of hardship, but the presence of Christ. Drawing from the powerful true story of the 1914 Christmas Truce during World War I, this sermon explores how God’s peace can break into even the darkest “trenches” of our lives.

Christmas is not only about a baby in a manger — it is about a King and His Kingdom bringing righteousness, peace, and joy through the Holy Spirit.

This message invites us to:

Step out of fear, bitterness, and division

Embrace the joy that transcends circumstances

Live as carriers of Christ’s peace in our families, communities, and world

Whether you are weary, hopeful, broken, or full of expectation, this sermon points us to Jesus, and calls us to let His joy truly come to the world.

“I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all people.” (Luke 2:10)

This week in our Advent series, Light of the World, we focus on Peace — not the fragile peace the world offers, but the Eirēneuō peace Jesus brings: complete reconciliation between God and humanity. As we light the Shepherds’ Candle, we are reminded that perfect peace is found only in Christ — the Prince of Peace who restores what was broken and invites us to walk freely and lightly with Him.

In this message we explore:

- Why “peace on earth” doesn’t mean the end of conflict

- The different biblical meanings of peace (and the one the angels proclaimed)

- How true peace comes when we surrender and walk yoked with Jesus

Key Scripture: Matthew 11:28–30

In this sermon, Charl looks at the powerful moment from Luke 23:39–43, where Jesus offers paradise to a criminal in His final hours. This message reminds us that the hope of Christmas isn’t just found in a manger — it’s revealed through God’s forgiveness, grace, and pursuit of every person.

We learn that:

God has been pursuing humanity with love and hope from the very beginning.

Jesus’ offer of forgiveness is available to everyone — even in our darkest moments.

Each of us must choose how we respond to Jesus: rejection or faith.

Key Scripture: Luke 23:39–43

Theme: The Hope of Christmas

Sermon Series: Light of the World

This week Daniel is leaning into Psalm 16, a precious, quiet prayer of trust from David. It’s called a miktam — a word tied to something hidden or treasured — and it gives us a glimpse into David’s heart in a moment of pressure and uncertainty.

Even though we don’t know the exact setting, we can feel the wilderness around him. And in that space, David chooses to anchor himself in God’s protection, provision, and presence.

Our hope today is that this Psalm becomes our prayer too — helping us trust God in the quiet, unseen wilderness moments of our own lives.

Key Scripture:

Psalm 16

In this message, Daniel Robinson continues our series Wells in the Wilderness by exploring Psalm 63 — a powerful prayer written by David during one of the most difficult wilderness seasons of his life.

In this sermon, we unpack:

???? What the “wilderness” looks like in our lives today

???? How Psalm 63 teaches us to pray our desires honestly before God

???? The difference between our deepest desires and our loudest desires

???? St. Augustine’s idea of “ordering our loves”

????️ Why we often chase satisfaction in things that can’t truly satisfy

???? How prayer, fasting, and worship realign our hearts to desire God first

???? How God meets us with His loyal love, power, and glory

David boldly declares, “You satisfy me more than the richest feast.”

This message will help you move from restlessness to true rest, from distraction to desire, and from empty cravings to deep communion with God.

If you're in a wilderness season — or simply thirsty for more of God — this teaching is for you.

???? Key Scripture: Psalm 63

???? Series: Wells in the Wilderness

In this first message of our “Wells in the Wilderness” series, we journey through Psalm 90, a prayer of Moses written after decades in the wilderness. Together we confront our frailty, the brevity of life, and the greatness of God—from everlasting to everlasting.

Through the lens of this ancient psalm, we learn that God not only meets us in the dry places—He satisfies us there. He turns the wilderness into a well, filling us each morning with His steadfast love.

???? Key themes:

Finding refreshment in spiritual and emotional wilderness seasons

Facing the brevity of life with wisdom and perspective

Understanding God’s eternal nature

Learning to pray the Psalms as pathways of formation, not just information

Key Scripture

Psalm 90

What do you do with the seed God places in your hands?

In this message, Lauren Gray looks at Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 9, where he reminds the Corinthians that God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. Every seed we receive — whether it’s a resource, a gift, or an opportunity — carries the potential for multiplication in God’s kingdom.

Through the acronym S.E.E.D. — Source, Examine, Expect, Delight — we explore what it means to recognise God as our Source, to give with joy, to expect His faithfulness, and to delight in His generosity.

This message was shared as we considered how to support Oasis, a ministry that reflects God’s compassion and justice. We are reminded that God gives seed to the sower — and that His provision is not just for our needs, but to bring His kingdom to life through generosity, justice, and love.

???? Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9

We all want to live a good life — but how do we actually do that? There’s a big difference between being smart and being wise. You can have knowledge — and still make foolish choices.

In this message, Pastor Milaine explores the wisdom of Proverbs and the teachings of Jesus, revealing that the good life isn’t found in knowing more, but in living out what we already know.

We’ll learn how to:

???? Build our lives on the solid foundation of God’s Word

???? Develop a deep reverence and awe for who God is

???? Choose obedience over opinion

???? Trust God through life’s storms

???? See His hand even in the hard places

True wisdom starts with the fear of the Lord — not terror, but reverent love and submission.

In this sermon Justin looks at how Acts 2 gives us a glimpse of the early church — united, generous, prayerful, and full of life. But it’s just a snapshot, not a perfect model. In this message, we look at community before, during, and after Acts 2 to see how God shapes us through imperfect people.

True community isn’t flawless — it’s formative. Growth happens in the tension, and we need one another to become more like Jesus. You’ll also hear of ways we can unintentionally sabotage community and how to choose Christlike connection instead.

If you’ve been hesitant or hurt by community before, this message will encourage you to lean in again. Life with Jesus was never meant to be lived alone.

???? Scripture: Acts 2:43–47

n this sermon we examine how our dependence on ideology, natural tendency to make ourselves king—our self-reliance, and our fear of difference—has led us to alienation and hostility in mind.

But there is good news:

Jesus Christ is still King. He reigns above all rulers, authorities, and systems.

And when we submit to Him—not as an external form of behaviour, but as an internal transformation—He restores unity, peace, and hope.

✝️ Key Themes:

• Christ’s supreme authority and reign

• The dangers of polarisation and self-idolatry

• Reclaiming unity in the Church

• Hope rooted in Christ, not ideology

• Living under the kingship of Jesus

When Christ is truly King, we are free from fear of the future.

We no longer build our own kingdoms, but live as citizens of His.

Let us be a Church united—not by our opinions—but by our submission to the King who reigns over all.
