When life feels out of control, where do you turn for hope? We live in a broken world where evil, suffering, and death often disrupt our lives and leave us fearful for the future. But in Matthew 8:23–34, we see Jesus’ unmatched authority, commanding storms and driving out evil with a word. How will we respond to him? Will we turn to him as the only one who can save us from death? Will we trust him when life overwhelms us, or cave into our fears?
We often want to follow Jesus on our own terms — when it is convenient or safe. But as the King who heals yet suffers for many, he has set very costly terms for discipleship. In this passage, Jesus challenges us to follow him without the comfort we desire, to prioritise his mission and purpose above all else, but also to trust that following him is worth everything.
Authority and compassion are rarely seen together. Someone who’s not powerful cannot help us. Someone who’s not compassionate is relationally distant from us. But as we begin our Matthew 8-10 series, we see a deeply compassionate Jesus exercise his powerful authority for the unclean and unlikely. This compassionate Lord ultimately goes to the cross on our behalf and invites us to trust him afresh.
What is the greatest gift God could give us? Jesus says it is life—eternal life that begins now and lasts forever. This life is not just about endless time, but about knowing the God who made us and the Saviour who came to bring us home. In a world chasing meaning, Jesus offers what no one else can: the gift of life itself (John 17:3).
At Christmas, we celebrate the greatest love ever shown — not sentimental or seasonal, but sacrificial. In love, God sent his Son into our world to be our Saviour. In Jesus, love is not just spoken but seen and demonstrated: a love that forgives, reconciles, and calls us to love others as we have been loved.
The incarnation of Jesus is God's ultimate gift of grace, a Saviour wrapped in humanity, who came to save sinners, even the uttermost. In 1 Timothy 1:12-17, the Apostle Paul reflects with awe upon the overflowing grace of God shown to him, a man once a blasphemer and persecutor of God's people. And yet this gift of grace is more than sufficient to save and transform him—and us. How will we respond to such a gift?
This week, we heard from Luke 1:39-56 about God’s gift of joy. The passage begins with a privileged visit, causing the baby in Elizabeth’s womb to leap for joy at the sight of Mary. We see how Mary’s song is full of joy and provides a profound glimpse into God’s heart - He shows undeserved mercy to those who ...
The next sermon in our Christmas series explored God’s gift of hope from Matthew 1:18-25. This hope is a different kind of hope - one which is promised, secured, and does not depend on our circumstances. The Gospel of Matthew intentionally begins with Jesus’ genealogy, setting the stage for God’s unfolding plan...
This Christmas through our sermon series, we rediscover the wonder of God’s generosity in Christ. As we exchange gifts to show love, we are reminded that the greatest gifts come not from us but from God Himself. In sending His Son, God has given us treasures beyond measure - peace, hope, joy, grace, and ...
We concluded our sermon series through Revelation 6-16 last Sunday by looking at Revelation 15-16. These chapters assure believers that while we may never see true justice in this world, God’s perfect justice will be shown at the end and His people’s hope will not disappoint. As we come to the end of the ...
