The Gospel in Acts 2 (40 mins)

In this sermon, Nick Harvey reads from Acts chapter two; a chapter that introduces sign-gifts, Peter’s spirit-empowered sermon, and the conversion of 3,000 souls. Nick brings out the gospel message from the passage, that all of us need to repent and put our faith in Jesus Christ, and be saved.

“Follow me” (38 mins)

Through the life of Peter, Mr. Scarsbrook draws lessons from the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, reminding us that God often calls us while we are busy with our daily work, just as He called Peter from his fishing nets. Peter’s story shows us that God seeks willing hearts ready to act for His purposes. Most importantly, we are reminded of the centrality of prayer in our lives.

Togetherness in Christ (46 mins)

In this episode, Ken Wilkins shares valuable lessons from the inspiring lives of Aquila and Priscilla. He highlights their unwavering unity in Christ, their dedication to working together in service to God, and their ability to balance their profession with their assembly responsibilities.

The Conversion of Cornelius (36 mins)

Peter preaches the conversion of Cornelius which, like any other conversion, was by repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. The truth of the gospel message is that God desires that we should all be ‘repent and be converted’. Repentance is the necessary change of heart toward sin that God expects of us. Further more, we can be saved, forgiven, and have a relationship with God all because of Jesus Christ, and His death and resurrection.

Are we supposed to be independent from God? (36 mins)

In this gospel sermon, Joel reads from Genesis 3 and examines where man’s desires to be independent from God comes from. We discussed Adam’s own efforts to create an apron of fig leaves to hide his shame and compared it to God’s provision of a coat of skins (an early picture of the Lord Jesus being provided by God for our salvation). We also read from Matthew 14 and investigated how it was dependence on the Lord that enabled Peter…

Lessons to learn from the Children of Israel

In this challenging sermon, Tim Lewitt examines the hindrances that caused the Israelites to stumble.

The urgency of ‘today’ (25 mins)

Tom Armstrong delivers a challenging gospel sermon in which he looks at the various uses of the word ‘today’. He reminds us of the day that the Lord Jesus was born into this world, the day that Zacchaeus received the Lord Jesus, and the day that the Lord Jesus saved a guilty criminal from his sins. Has there been a day when the Lord saved you?

Without God and without hope (21 mins)

Robin Steele brings before us the various positions we can be in regarding God. For those that are still lost, they are described as being ‘without God and without hope’. He preached on the coming of the Lord Jesus into this world, at which point Christ was referred to as ‘Immanuel’ which means ‘God with us’. Because Christ came into this world, died for our sins and rose again from the dead, we can have the knowledge of all sins…

Exodus 35: Willing Workers (54 mins)

Exodus 35 is a chapter that should encourage and challenge every believer. Joel presents the significance of the willing and wise hearts that were involved in the offering for and construction of the Tabernacle.

How can a sinner get ‘right’ with God? (35 mins)

Arran preaches from Paul’s epistle to the Romans and chapter 9, emphasising Paul’s argument that none of us are righteous as a result of our own works, regardless of whether we consider ourselves to be good, or religious, or not. Instead, it is only through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that we can obtain a ‘right’ standing before God, who is the Judge of all.

Exodus 34: Moses face shone (56 mins)

Dan Rudge helpfully teaches on Exodus 34, a pivotal chapter where God renews His covenant with Israel after the Israelites had broken it by worshipping the golden calf. This chapter is significant for showcasing God’s mercy in forgiving Israel and continuing His relationship with them, despite their disobedience. It also emphasises Moses’ role as mediator and the importance of God’s presence with His people.

Satisfaction in a dissatisfying world (30 mins)

The world has lots of pleasures to offer. However, these things never truly satisfy and are designed to distract us from coming to Christ for salvation. In this challenging gospel message, A. Summers preaches the Lord Jesus Christ as the Saviour of sinners. Jesus Christ doesn’t just forgive sinners of the sins, but he gives them new life entirely!
