Talks from Sundays

In this episode of the series Hsoc looks at the next part of the Lord’s prayer and explores what it means to pray for God’s kingdom to come in our lives and in our society.

In this opening message of the series, we explore the importance of prayer in our lives and why Jesus teaches us to begin by knowing God as our Father.

In this message we talk about what the good news of great joy means for us today! We also talk about what we can learn from response of faith that the shepherds showed when they heard the good news.

In this message we reflect on how Jesus brings peace to the world and to our hearts, and how, because he is with us, fear no longer has the final word.

Starting with the angel’s greeting to Mary, “O favoured one,” this message explores what it means to be graced by God before we ever act or respond. We explore Mary’s identity, God’s presence, the fear that often accompanies His call, and the courage it takes to submit and trust.

In this message we explore Matthew’s contrast of Herod, the Magi, and the newborn King, revealing the challenge of Jesus’ authority, the wideness of His mercy, and His call for us to surrender and walk a new way.

As we approach the Advent season and reflect once again on the birth of Jesus, this first message in the series explores what it means to be a people who were “walking in darkness” but have now seen and experienced “a great light.”

In this final message of the series, we explore Jesus’ mission - to bring good news - and our mission - to be sent with that same good news. We look at how vital it is to keep on receiving the Holy Spirit, so that we are empowered to go and share the good news wherever we are.

In this message we explore the call on the Church to love the city. In particular to care for the disadvantaged and the marginalised. We consider what this means for us and how can we each get involved.

In the second of our talks on freedom, we explore the significance of what we truly believe and think, and how we need to learn to replace lies with truth.
