Vijay concludes the series on the life of Paul, focusing on 2 Timothy 4:6–8 and Paul's words near the end of his life: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful." The sermon begins with the reminder that life is short. Psalm 90 asks God to teach us to number our days so that we may live wisely. Knowing that life is brief should not make Christians fearfu

David continues the series on the life of Paul, looking at Paul as a pastor-theologian and asking what makes someone a truly great Christian leader. He begins with examples of fictional leaders such as Leonardo the Mutant Hero Turtle, Captain Kirk, Aragorn and Ted Lasso, arguing that great leaders have the ability to inspire a response. Leadership is not just about having good ideas; it is about t

Jeremy continues the series on the life of Paul, preaching from 2 Corinthians 11:16–12:10. His central theme is that Christian faithfulness is not measured by impressive achievements or by how much suffering we can endure in our own strength. Instead, the Christian life is about dependence on Christ, whose grace is sufficient and whose power is made perfect in weakness. Jeremy begins with a story

Florence continues the series on the life of Paul, looking at Paul the church planter and the establishment of the first Christian church in Europe at Philippi in Acts 16. She begins with an illustration from gardening. Artificial flowers may look convincing, but an artificial church cannot produce real spiritual life. Church planting requires genuine believers committed to Christ's command to mak

James continues the series on the life of Paul, moving from Paul's hidden years into the beginning of his missionary work in Acts 13. He begins by setting the scene in the church at Antioch in Syria, where Paul has become part of a spiritually gifted church. While the believers are worshipping, fasting and praying, the Holy Spirit tells them to set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work to which he

Cheri preaches from Luke 7:36–50, the account of Jesus at the home of Simon the Pharisee, where a woman known for living a sinful life comes to Jesus with tears, perfume and extravagant devotion. She begins by linking this sermon with the previous week's message on the woman caught in adultery, and with her reflections on Rahab and Hagar. Her focus is on how God responds to women who are shamed, r

The Logos Hope team share a service centred on the power, authority and honour of the name of Jesus. The team begin by introducing themselves and the work of OM's Logos Hope. Bauka, from Kazakhstan, explains that although the team come from different countries, the focus is not on flags or national identity, but on introducing people to Jesus. He also asks the church to pray for Kazakhstan, where

James preaches from Isaiah 6:1–8, where Isaiah sees the Lord in the year King Uzziah died. He begins by reflecting on Bob Dylan's song "The Times They Are A-Changin'", using it to introduce the theme of living in times of change, uncertainty and instability. His central message is: In a time of change and uncertainty, we need to fix our eyes on the one who is unchangeable and completely dependable

Florence preaches from 1 Corinthians 13:1–7, focusing on the "missing ingredient" in the Corinthian church: love. She begins with a humorous cooking illustration, adding the wrong amount of garlic and almost forgetting the chicken in a curry, to show that sometimes one essential ingredient can be missing. In Corinth, the church had spiritual gifts, activity and ability, but they lacked love. Flore

Part 1 – The Ten Commandments overview. Derek reads Exodus 20 and makes three points: the commandments were given after God's rescue of Israel (not as a condition of it), they're guidance for the saved rather than a means of earning salvation, and each one is a broad principle meant to be applied widely rather than treated as a tick-box exercise. He illustrates this with the 8th commandment ("you

The Text: Psalm 126 (New Living Translation) — a psalm of praise recalling Israel's return from exile in Babylon. Opening Hook — The "Fresh Start" Effect Vijay begins by observing the universal human longing for a fresh start — at New Year, birthdays, or even a Monday morning. Beneath that, he argues, is a deeper desire: not just to improve, but to be made new — to undo mistakes and mend what's br

Florence continues the series "Lament, Trust and Praise", moving into the theme of praise through Psalm 118. The sermon's main message is that God's people are called to praise him not only when life is easy, but also in times of difficulty, because his love endures forever. She explains that Psalm 118 is full of confidence in God's steadfast love, mercy, goodness and faithfulness. The psalm may h

James' main theme is that Psalm 100 calls God's people to praise Him with their whole being. Psalm 100 is a "doubly perfect" psalm because it contains two sets of seven: seven encouragements to praise God and seven reasons to praise Him. The sermon first walks through the calls to worship: shout joyfully, serve gladly, sing, give thanks, praise, be thankful, and bless the Lord's name. Praise is pr

Speaker: Vijay Main Bible passage: Psalm 121 Theme: Trusting God to keep us through the whole journey of life. Vijay closes the Psalms of Trust section of the series by preaching from Psalm 121, one of the Songs of Ascents sung by pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem. He frames life as a pilgrimage: we move through changing seasons, uncertainty, weakness, ageing, and eventually death. Psalm 121 speaks

Speaker: James Main Bible passage: Psalm 62 Theme: God is completely trustworthy as our refuge in every circumstance. James continues the church's series through the Psalms, moving through the theme of trust. After Psalm 23 showed the Lord as shepherd and Psalm 27 showed the Lord as protector, Psalm 62 presents the Lord as our refuge. Trust, James says, is not optional for Christians; it is part o

Speaker: Cheri Main Bible passage: Psalm 27 Theme: Trusting God when we feel under attack. Cheri presents Psalm 27 as a prayer and song for those who feel afraid, accused, misunderstood, mistreated, or under threat. The Psalms are described as the prayer book and songbook of God's people, giving us words to pray when we do not know what to say. The sermon focuses on God as light, salvation, and st

Sermon summary Florence preaches on Psalm 77 as part of a series on lament, trust, and praise, focusing especially on lamenting unanswered prayer. She begins by naming the "noise inside our heads" — worry, doubt, distress — and explains that the Bible does not sugarcoat painful realities. Biblical lament is presented as a faithful practice: crying out to God, bringing complaints honestly, asking G

Derek's sermon on Psalm 58 explores how Christians should respond to widespread injustice, corrupt rulers, and evil actions in the world. He explains that lament is biblical: believers do not need to pretend everything is fine, but should bring suffering, injustice, and wrongdoing honestly before God in prayer. He distinguishes lament from grumbling. Lament brings complaint to God in faith; grumbl

Vijay preaches on Psalm 51, David's great psalm of repentance after being confronted by Nathan over his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah. The sermon begins by distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy guilt. False guilt can burden people for things that are not their fault, while real guilt can become unhealthy if it traps us in the past. But healthy guilt faces sin honestly and leads us towards re

In this opening message in our Psalms series, Florence introduces Psalm 13 and shows how biblical lament gives us a faithful way to bring our pain, confusion, and sorrow to God. Lament is not grumbling or faithlessness. It is an honest expression of faith that teaches us to: cry out to God complain to God honestly ask Him to act reaffirm our trust in Him Through Psalm 13, we see David move from "H

"Hope Against Hope" — Easter Sunday Sermon Vijay opens with a vivid image: a man walking through a village destroyed by a storm finds a rooster standing on the wreckage, chest out, crowing with full confidence. It seems absurd until you realise the rooster isn't responding to the ruins. It's responding to the risen sun. That image sets up the whole sermon: Christians can speak of hope even amid de

Dave opens with a lighthearted reflection on early birds vs. night owls, using his five-year-old son Douglas (who storms in at 5am in full builder's gear) as a bridge into the day's theme - Palm Sunday and the clocks going forward giving him a welcome extra hour's sleep. He then explores the Palm Sunday story from Matthew 21 through four questions: Where : Jerusalem was deeply significant, chosen
