Discipleship through Preaching

Discover the difference between a shallow faith and a deep, transformative understanding of what it means to be saved. This isn't just about escaping hell; it's about finding true freedom from guilt and shame now and understanding what it means to be made right with God through faith alone.

Romans Part 2 - What makes you angry? For many of us, it’s injustice. We see something wrong in the world and feel a passionate desire to see it made right. But what happens when our sense of justice is flawed? And how can we possibly understand a loving God who also expresses wrath?

Have you ever felt like the gospel was reduced to a simple formula? A "get out of hell free" card? Many of us have been handed a version of the good news with a very "shallow depth of field," focusing only on our personal salvation while the rest of God's incredible plan remains blurry.

Every day, we're planting seeds in the garden of our lives. But what kind of harvest are you cultivating? In this compelling message from Galatians 6, we delve into the biblical principle: "You reap what you sow."

Are you ready to move beyond just attending church and deepen your faith in a powerful way? In this sermon, we explore the journey from being a disciple (a learner of Jesus) to becoming a discipler (someone who actively helps others follow Him). Drawing parallels from a story of a king and his diligent servants, we uncover why the traditional "classroom" model of faith often leaves us feeling unprepared for real-world spiritual impact.

Ever wondered about the real meaning behind communion? This message breaks down the practice, from its roots in hospitality and Old Testament traditions to its significance for Christians today.

What a treasure to find a woman of valour! The desire to honour God and put God first is the root of wisdom and women who do this are worthy of honour.
