Saturday Ev Sermons

A father's influence can shape a family. Andrew Heard shares with us from Genesis how God reveals what he is like as our good Heavenly Father and his determination to bring blessing on whom he chooses.

God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, his son on whom all the promises of God rest. Andrew Heard helps us understand this confronting account which points us to what relationship with God is actually about.

God's promises to Abraham in the Old Testament are the backbone for the entire Bible! Graham Fuller shows us how these promises point to Jesus and include us today.

Could humanity really be "only evil all the time"? Jez Reynolds speaks on life outside the garden and consequences of sin, and God's overarching plan not just to save Noah from the flood but also us today.

Speaking on Genesis 3, Andrew Heard helps us understand original sin and that even in our rebellion, God gives to humanity. God gives to care for us now and makes a promise that will cover our guilt and shame forever.

In Chapter 2 we see another perspective on creation - detailing God's creation of man and woman - his good design for our world, for our good. Andrew Heard discusses the differences between our contemporary culture's message about men and women, and the Bible's message to us.

In the beginning, like a boss, God creates the world by his Word. Jez Reynolds begins our series in Genesis looking at the wonder of creation, the pattern, and what this tells us about God and why we were made.

Grahame Fuller takes us through the book of 1 John where we see the central work of Jesus death that brings us confidence, alongside the practical evidence in our life of belief, obedience, and love.

We ask ourselves, what does God want from us? How do I know if I've done enough? Dave Jensen helps us wrestle with our rejection of God and the Bible's clear solution, the gift of grace Jesus' death gives us - eternal assurance!

Dave Jensen finishes our series in 2 Corinthians with Paul's words urging us to examine ourselves. Asking; am I in the faith, and does Jesus live in my heart?

You drove me to it! Graham Fuller takes us through the conclusion to Paul's boasting where he stresses his love and concern for the Corinthians to know the true gospel, gladly at his own expense.

How do our goals in life reflect what God wants for us? Dave Jensen shares how God allows suffering, for his priority and purpose, and yet also for our good. That his power, his glory, might be displayed in our weakness.

There are many things in life that wear us down and bring suffering. Jez Reynolds shows us how Paul's boasting in his hardships is an encouragement to us in this life, because the message of Jesus is true and the promise of heaven is real.

Why would Paul call a group of Christian teachers satanic? Grahame Fuller speaks on recognising the satanic influences of the world we live in and the importance of vigilance and discernment in gospel teachings.

Paul defends his ministry to the Corinthians, evidenced by: the power of the gospel Word, the changed lives and his boasting in the Lord. Jez Reynolds takes us through the things we should value most in church ministry.

What is the way to blessing and an enriched life? Jez Reynolds shares from 2 Corinthians the counter intuitive teachings of Jesus on generosity, that lead us to thanksgiving and praise to God!

The Bible's most famous mum is Mary the mother of Jesus. Dave Jensen shares from Mary's song where she expresses her joy and identity found in the blessing of God's salvation.

Dealing honestly with money so often reveals the reality of our sinful human nature. Andrew Heard challenges us from 2 Corinthians to be aware of human sin, to live in a way that minimises risk, and to look forward with hope to the future we have with God - free forever from sin and temptation.

Back into 2 Corinthians, Chapter 8 begins with Paul's plea for the Corinthians to be generous in response to the grace given through Jesus. Andrew Heard shows us this is not a 'command' about money but a challenge to the heart attitude of generosity.

The world says true contentment in life comes from within yourself or the stuff you can get... but Jesus says this is foolish. Dave Jensen wrestles with the question; will being a Christian make me content?
