We Are Emmanuel

In this message, we explore how the gospel first reached Europe and what true faithfulness looks like in action. From Timothy’s willingness to sacrifice personal rights for the sake of Christ, to Paul’s deep dependence on the Holy Spirit’s leading, to Lydia’s generous hospitality that helped establish the church in Philippi, we see powerful examples of lives surrendered to Jesus. Above all, this sermon points us to the greater faithfulness of Christ - who gave everything for us - and challenges us to respond with courage, obedience, and generosity as we follow Him.

This sermon from Acts 15 explores a pivotal moment in the early church, asking what the gospel really is and how God’s people are meant to live together. It challenges two common threats to faith today - individualism and legalism - showing that we are saved by grace alone, not by our works, and saved together as one unified people in Christ. Through the work of Jesus on the cross, believers are brought into a shared family marked by gospel unity, freedom, forgiveness, and love, and are called to maintain that unity by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This sermon from Acts 13 explores Paul’s message in the synagogue, showing that the resurrection of Jesus is not a symbol or idea, but a historical fact and the fulfilment of God’s promises in Scripture. Neville explains how the resurrection stands at the centre of the Christian faith, changing everything by bringing real hope, certainty, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of personal, bodily life beyond death. Because Jesus lived a sinless life, died in our place, and was raised from the dead, believers can be sure of salvation, restoration, and a glorious future with God.

This message explores Acts 13 and asks a vital question: what is the church for? Focusing on the start of Paul’s first missionary journey, it highlights the church’s identity as a diverse, Spirit-filled community united under Christ. The preach looks at how The Gospel brings people of different backgrounds together, how prayer and worship shape the life of the church, and how the Holy Spirit calls and sends God’s people into mission. It’s a call to radical reconciliation, dependence on God, and renewed purpose for the year ahead.

This preach explores how God works through both the big gatherings of the church and the small, everyday relationships that shape real discipleship. Drawing from Acts 2 and the example of Priscilla and Aquila, Paul reflects on years of church life, obedience, and church planting, reminding us that growth comes through doing life together. He calls the church to move from spectating to participating - building deep, prayerful, relational community where scars tell stories of faithfulness and no one walks alone, so the church can grow strong in both the small and the big.

This Christmas message explores the “unbelievable” elements of the nativity story - stars, wise men, angels, prophecy, and dreams - and shows how they all point to Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 2, Tobi Ford-Western highlights how God uses both science and the supernatural to lead people from every background to Christ, contrasting the seeking faith of the wise men with the indifference of those who knew the Scriptures but didn’t investigate. Ultimately, it reminds us that the signs of Christmas aren’t the focus themselves - they exist to reveal Jesus as King, Saviour, and God with us, making the Christmas story not far-fetched, but wonderfully true.

In this preach, Matt concludes The Truth series by emphasizing that Jesus himself is the ultimate truth, and that Christians are called to hold fast to the gospel while avoiding distractions from false ideas or societal trends. Sharing Jesus effectively involves both living a Jesus-shaped life—demonstrating peace, grace, and hope in daily challenges—and speaking about the gospel from personal experience. Ultimately, Matt encourages everyone to spend daily time with Jesus, be prepared to share the good news, and actively shine His light in their communities.

This message explores Jesus’ call to worship in spirit and in truth, using His encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. It reminds us that every human being is made for worship, and that our hearts naturally drift toward false gods - identity, success, beauty, power - unless we return to the One we were created for. True worship requires both truth - knowing who God really is, and Spirit - a heart awakened by the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, we are invited back to the cross, where Jesus transforms rebels into worshipers and restores us to our deepest purpose: to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.

The month of November is the time for our Care Campaign and in this powerful message from Isaiah 61, Tim unpacks the good news of Jesus - the one who binds up the brokenhearted, lifts the poor, and restores devastated lives. We explore how Christ’s mission becomes our mission through the Holy Spirit, and how the church is called to reflect His compassion in practical ways.

In this message, Tobi continues The Truth series with a sermon titled “Walking in the Truth.” Drawing from Psalm 86:11, he explores what it truly means to walk with God - through joy, pain, stumbling, standing firm, and even seasons of waiting. With honesty and hope, Tobi reminds us that Jesus not only invites us to walk with Him but has already walked the path before us. Whether you’re running strong or limping through life, this message will encourage you to keep walking in the truth and grace of Christ.

This Sunday we were joined by Matt Carvel who preached on Ephesians 4:4-16, part of The Truth series, where we explore the importance of truth in our personal lives and within the church community. Drawing from Ephesians 4, Matt emphasizes that “speaking the truth in love” is essential for building a healthy, Christ-centered church. He challenges listeners to live with honesty and integrity, to use words that build up rather than tear down, and to encourage one another in faith. Through truth, confession, and encouragement, the church grows together in unity and maturity, reflecting Jesus - who is Himself the Truth - to the world.

The amazing Ben Rowe joined us at our Sons of conference earlier this month to preach to us from the Word.

Here is Matt Carvel's preach from the Sons of conference that happened earlier this month. Due to technical issues the first few minutes of Matt's preach was not recorded, we do apologise!

In this message, Matt Simmonds speaks from 2 Thessalonians 2:13–17 about what it means to be changed by the truth. He challenges the idea of self-improvement and reminds us that true transformation comes only through God’s grace and the power of the Holy Spirit. We’re called to stand firm and hold fast to God’s Word, allowing His truth to shape our hearts and lives. Even when change feels slow or incomplete, God’s love, patience, and Spirit are at work - making us more like Jesus day by day.

In this message from The Truth series, Tobi Ford-Western unpacks what Jesus meant when He said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). He explores how truth isn’t just an idea or belief - but a person: Jesus Himself. True freedom isn’t found in doing whatever we want, but in knowing Christ, who frees us from sin, addiction, and deception. This sermon calls us to live in the truth, walk in freedom, and reflect heaven’s wisdom on earth.

In this message, Matt Simmonds explores what it means for Jesus to be “full of grace and truth” by unpacking John 1. In a world of lies, mistrust, and broken promises, he reminds us that God’s truth is not only objective reality but also relational faithfulness. Through Jesus, we see God’s steadfast love and covenant loyalty revealed - a foundation we can truly build our lives on.
