Pitt Town Church Podcast

In this sermon, Craig explores Luke 17 and the story of Jesus healing ten men with leprosy, yet only one returns to thank him. Through the response of the Samaritan, Craig challenges us to consider whether we are truly thankful for all that Jesus has done for us. He reminds us that thankfulness is more than good manners; it's an expression of humility and a vital part of our relationship with God. Our gratitude can also have a powerful influence on those around us, changing the atmosphere wherever we go. So how can we become people who see God's goodness, respond with thankfulness, and lead others to do the same?

In this sermon, Craig explores Luke 7 and the encounter between Jesus and a woman known for her sinful past. While Simon the Pharisee looks down on her, Jesus sees her differently, offering forgiveness, acceptance and peace. Craig challenges us to consider how we respond to Jesus, reminding us that we are saved through faith, not our own efforts. When we truly encounter Jesus and understand the forgiveness he offers, our response should be one of deep gratitude, courageous worship and love for others. God uses ordinary people who have experienced his grace to help others discover Jesus too.

In this sermon, Craig explores John 1 and what it means to encounter Jesus, follow him, and help others discover him too. Jesus is both the long-awaited King, whom we are called to submit our lives to, and the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Craig also reflects on what God has been doing in the life of Pitt Town Church and looks ahead to 2027 as a year of courageous faith. How might God be calling us to take our next step in following Jesus and pointing others to him?

In this sermon, Craig looks at Luke 8:43–48 and the encounter between Jesus and a woman who had suffered for twelve years. Isolated, exhausted and cut off from the people and things that mattered most, she finds healing and restoration in Jesus. Craig explores how Jesus does more than heal her physical condition—he restores her dignity and welcomes her back into community. Ultimately, this encounter points to the greater victory Jesus wins at the cross, where he defeats sin and death and offers us eternal life. Whatever struggles we face, we can put our trust in Jesus, knowing that his life is more powerful than death.

In this sermon, Craig looks at Daniel 3 and asks what it really means to trust God when life gets difficult and the outcome is uncertain. Through the faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, Craig shows the difference between trusting God to fulfil our plans and trusting him to fulfil his. Biblical faith means knowing who God is and what he has said, even when we don’t know what he will do. And as we face the “furnaces” of life, we can trust that Jesus is our companion, rescuer and protector—whether he removes the flames or walks with us through them.

In this sermon, Lachlan looks at Hebrews 6 and the question, “How can we be sure that we are saved?” He explores what it really means to fall away from God, distinguishing deliberate rejection from the doubts, struggles and sins that Christians can experience. Lachlan then points to two reasons we can have confidence in our salvation: God’s unchanging promise and the fruit he produces in the lives of those who trust in him. With Jesus as our anchor, our hope of salvation is sure and secure. 

In this sermon, Craig looks at Luke 12:1–12 and explores five commitments Jesus calls his followers to make: take the long view, view people properly, view God properly, acknowledge Jesus, and say what we should say. Craig challenges us to live with an eternal perspective rather than being controlled by hypocrisy, people-pleasing or fear. Ultimately, when we take God seriously, trust his promises and stand with Jesus, we can face the future without being afraid of anyone or anything.

In this sermon, Trav looks at Luke 11:37–54, where Jesus confronts the Pharisees and experts in the law for focusing on appearing right while neglecting what is happening in their hearts. Trav challenges us to see that hypocrisy isn’t simply about sinning—it’s about believing Jesus’ warnings don’t apply to us. But Jesus doesn’t just expose what is wrong inside us; he offers to make us clean. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can bring our brokenness to him and be transformed from the inside out.

In this sermon, John looks at Luke 11:29–36, where Jesus challenges a generation that keeps demanding more signs while failing to respond to the light already given. Through the examples of Jonah and the Queen of Sheba, we’re reminded that Jesus is greater than both the messenger and the message. John explores what it means to stop demanding from God, cultivate an attitude of gratitude, and take care with what we allow into our lives. Ultimately, there is no greater sign than Jesus and no greater light than him—and the question is whether we will respond in faith, repentance, and trust.

In this sermon, Terry looks at Luke 11:14–28 and the reality of the spiritual battle between the kingdom of Satan and the kingdom of God. Jesus is the stronger one who has come to overthrow Satan, rescue us from the domain of darkness, and bring us under his good rule. But there is no neutral position — we are either with Jesus or against him. Terry challenges us to remember that the devil is real but limited, to take up God’s Word as our weapon, and above all, to trust Jesus, because he is stronger than Satan.
