Spring Up, O Well

The wells of our spiritual fathers and mothers need to be reopened in this generation; the fact is that many have never drunk of the wells of which they drank. This sermon reminds us that the destiny of the church is not wrapped up only in the new but also in the ancient paths – in retrieving ancient ways such as prayer, evangelism, Spirit baptism and consecration. But as well as re-digging old wells, we are reminded that we need to dig new wells and lay claim to new spiritual territory in our generation – so that we will leave a legacy from which future generations can drink.

Daring Faith, Unswerving Hope, Radical Love

Daring faith, unswerving hope and radical love describe what we as Church are called to live out. These words outline what we need to demonstrate to see God’s kingdom come – what it’s going to take to see our communities, our cities and our nations impacted and transformed in Jesus’ name.  This sermon will inspire you to have a faith in God that dares to grasp hold of His promises for our lives and for the lives of others; to persevere and remain steadfast in hope, being firmly anchored regardless of any storm; and to be filled, motivated and driven by radical love.

This sermon, from our Vision Sunday (Part One) on 24th January 2016, marked the announcement of our new name. The statement 'daring faith, unswerving hope, radical love' is the strapline for One Church.

Re:load - Facing Your Giants

Many of us tend to retreat when faced with a giant – a big challenge. But David – because he first faced God – rushed towards the giant Goliath. Like David we all face giants that taunt or threaten us; they may not be called Goliath but they are called unemployment, debt, rejection, discouragement, failure, addiction, disease and such like. This sermon will inspire you to reload and, with God’s help, to take a fresh swing at the problems, obstacles and burdens that stand before us.

Re:model - Quit Beating Yourself Up

Often we can end up beaten and bruised not from other people’s punches but from our own. When we spend more time looking at what is wrong with us than who we are in Christ we fail to live in God’s best. This message will help you to live free of condemnation and will open your eyes to the beautiful things that God can create even out of our mess.
