One Way

The resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth from the dead is the ultimate authentication of Jesus’ claim to be God. If Jesus was raised from the dead the implications are immense and a response is required of each one of us.

Drawing on the evidence for the resurrection, this message explores Jesus’ claim to be the Way, the Truth and the Life and also deals with the false logic behind the prevailing view in our culture that all religious paths are equally true.

The Christian hope is not built on the empty promises of a dead religious teacher but on the glorious fact of the resurrection of the Son of God. For those of us who have trusted in Christ, that means we have access to life and freedom on this earth and also a future in heaven that is immeasurably good.

Cheers, Jeers and Triumph

At Easter we celebrate the most momentous event in the history of the world. On Good Friday we remember the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for us, giving His life so that we might live. In this Good Friday message, we look at the events around the crucifixion through the words that were spoken - the cheers, the jeers and the triumph. What will your response to Jesus be this Easter? 

Name Changes Can Be Game Changers

In the Bible, names were seen as descriptive of not only who people are but also who they are meant to become. On the occasion of Palm Sunday and the launch of our new name 'One Church', John Glass – the General Superintendent of Elim and the Chair of Council for the Evangelical Alliance – brings a timely and inspiring word encouraging us to step into our identity and destiny, releasing what we have to Jesus’ mission and being a people who take the glory of God from where it is to where it isn’t.

Great Expectations

Jesus taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”. This means that as Christians we should be living in so much more than we often do. Jesus meant that we should be praying God’s will and His kingdom into our lost and broken world. As Christians, miracles should be our norm. The supernatural should come naturally to us. We should expect miracles that reveal and glorify God. A life with God is one where we can have great expectations – expectations of the miracles He can work in our lives and through us in the lives of others.

There's Something About Mary

In our anxiousness to separate ourselves from undue veneration of Mary, at times Protestant Christians have been guilty of relegating Mary to a place of virtual insignificance. But there was something about Mary which caught God’s attention. What was it about Mary that, of all the women in the world at that time, God chose her to be the mother of Jesus? This message explores what we can learn from Mary’s attitude, faith and devotion to God as we seek to be the kind of people whom God will entrust to birth His plans and purposes in our generation.
