Talks from Sundays

In the first message of a new series about the Holy Spirit, we consider how we live in the ‘now’ age of the Spirit, and yes also the ‘not yet.’ How we are both encouraged to go on being filled with the Spirit, and expect for more, yet at the same time understanding that there will be a day when we experience God’s presence fully.

This Sunday marked our 3rd year as a church on Rotterdam. In this message we reflect on the past, giving thanks for what God has done amongst us, and together look ahead to what the future could hold.

In this message we look at Jesus’ challenging teaching on the Wise and Foolish virgins in Matthew 25. How do we live like wise people? Why is the door of the Kingdom open for some but not others? What does Jesus mean when he encourages us to be watchful?

In this message, we explore some of Jesus’ final words to his disciples. We consider what it means to be a disciple and to make disciples and are reminded that Jesus sends us out with both his authority and his presence.

In his message, we celebrate the resurrection and reflect on the significance of the angel’s words: Jesus has been risen and gone ahead of you, ‘just as he told you.’

As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowds welcome Him as the King they want—but He comes as the Messiah they need. In this message, we explore the tension we all experience between desiring a God who will simply fix our problems, and encountering a Saviour who comes to transform our hearts.

In the final message of our Ephesians series, Dan unpacks what it means for us to ‘pray in the Spirit on all occasions.’

In this message, we explore what it means to deeply know the truth of God. Aleena shares practical ways to apply God's Word, helping us replace any lies we may be believing with His truth, ultimately finding freedom in Christ.

From the beginning to the end of the bible we see God’s heart for all peoples. In the diverse city of Rotterdam this means we have a unique blessing, a unique opportunity and a unique challenge.

In the West, we often struggle to accept the concept of spiritual opposition, especially when it takes the form of the Devil or demons. However, Paul offers clear teachings on the reality of this spiritual battle, reminding us that we face an enemy who actively schemes against us. In this message, we explore the Apostle Paul’s teaching on this subject, examine what it means to ‘put on the full armour of God,’ and learn how we can take a strong stand in the face of such opposition.
