Destiny Church Edinburgh

Life is demanding. There are many pressures on our time and resources, and because of this, we can end up allowing life to be in control of us rather than feeling in control of our lives. In this message, Sue seeks to remind us of four areas of life worthy of real consideration and forethought.

Many Christians believe that God's grace in their lives is conditional on their good behaviour; that the promise of "no condemnation" only applies to those who live life impeccably. But is this what the Bible teaches? Find out in this message.

Jesus' first coming must have seemed undramatic to the Jews who expected the Messiah to conquer Rome and rule in Jerusalem. However Jesus in the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven revealed that while God's Kingdom seems to have a small beginning, it would ultimately fill and influence everything.

In the Parable of the Dragnet we find a clear description of our mission as the church to share the good news with the world around us. In this message we investigate our mission and our standing before God.

"Let both grow together until the harvest?" (Matthew 13:30). At first glance the parable of the Wheat and the Weeds portrays a harsh an unmerciful picture of God's dealings with man. However as we look deeper we discover a parable depicting God's incredible mercy and patience for people and His people's mission on earth.

In this the first message on the Parables we look at the Parable of the Sower. Here Jesus gives us insight into how our heart condition ultimately determines how receptive we are to God's truth.

Dad's become a revelation to their kids of what God is like. But also God becomes a revelation to dad's of what fatherhood is like. In this message we investigate and stand in awe of the fatherhood of God.

At the end of the Sermon on the Mount we read: "when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes." (Matthew 7:28-29, ESV). In this message we investigate what it was about Jesus that caused the crowds to respond to Him this way.

All living things undergo change. It follows therefore, that followers of Jesus who have a living relationship with Him should be constantly changing. Are you? In this message, Graeme seeks to challenge believers to embrace change and growth in their walk with God, and offer keys of how to fully engage with this process.

Jesus splits the crowd who were listening to Him into fools and wise people. The wise and the fools both hear and even admire Jesus' words, they may even profess Him as 'Lord'. But what sets he wise apart in Jesus mind was that they not only hear His words but they also act according to His words. This message will help you be wise.

Are you sure that you're eternally secure? In these verses Jesus reveals to us that on judgement day many will call Him "Lord, Lord" but He will tell them "I never knew you". In this message we will investigate what it really means to be saved.

Do you sometimes believe that your life isn't valuable or that you don't really matter? Do you doubt that there is reason for your existence and a purpose for your life? If so, this message is for you. In it, Graeme seeks to affirm your worth in God and the importance of finding your calling.

In this account of Jesus walking on water what can we learn from the disciple Peter about stepping out in faith and taking a risk? In a culture that tries to avoid risk how do we as Christians step out in confidence that God is with us, even in spite of fear and challenges.

This is a vision update message Peter shared in the church May 2011, focussing on the church being the "body of Christ" and some of the exciting plans and changes we're bringing in Edinburgh.

Jesus warns us to - "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." (Matthew 7:15, ESV).

Tim Brown and his wife Allison were hugely influential in Peter Anderson's life in his teenage years while they all served God together as part of Destiny Church, Glasgow. In this message we are challenged to share our faith.

In these verses in Matthew 7 we find some of Jesus' most challenging statements. He reveals to us that there are: two ways (the broad and the narrow), two crowds (the many and the few), two destinations (life and destruction) and two gates (the wide and the narrow). Prepare to be challenged to the core.

“A man who was completely innocent, offered himself as a sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.”

"One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better, because I was important in the life of a child." (Forest Witcraft)

Matthew 7:12 is probably the most famous statement of Jesus. For many unreligious people this statement become their motto in life. In this message we investigate this world changing statement of Christ and it's implications for our lives today.
