The World Turned Upside Down Pt. 4 // The Arrest - Neville Jones // Acts 21:1-36

The World Turned Upside Down Pt. 4 // The Arrest - Neville Jones // Acts 21:1-36

This sermon from Acts 21 explores what it means to faithfully follow Jesus, even when the path is difficult. Through Paul’s unwavering journey to Jerusalem, despite repeated warnings of suffering, the message highlights the importance of listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit above every other voice. It encourages believers to embrace God’s greater purpose, value the gift of Christian community, remain open to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and live confidently in the freedom of God’s grace rather than striving to earn His approval. Above all, the sermon points to Jesus, who willingly went to the cross for our salvation, inviting us to trust Him wholeheartedly and surrender our lives to His perfect will.

The World Turned Upside Down Pt.4 // The Charge - George Benson // Acts 20:1-38

In Acts 20, we explore the Apostle Paul's final recorded miracle and heartfelt farewell to the Ephesian elders, revealing what mattered most in his life. This message challenges us to build a legacy of loving others, living with integrity, and remaining faithful to the gospel of God's grace. Discover how the transforming power of Jesus gives true life, shapes the Church, and calls every believer to live for what has eternal value rather than temporary success.

The World Turned Upside Down Pt.4 // The Disturbance - Matt Simmonds // Acts 19:23-41

This sermon from Acts 19 explores the clash between the Kingdom of God and the competing kingdoms of this world. Through the riot in Ephesus, it reveals how idols such as wealth, self, and worldly power promise fulfillment but ultimately leave us deceived, confused, and empty. In contrast, Jesus offers a kingdom built on truth, peace, and lasting power through His death, resurrection, and the Holy Spirit. The message challenges us to consider who truly sits on the throne of our lives, calling us to turn from false idols, worship Christ alone, and live each day under the joyful rule and reign of the true King. _____________We are a Church in Brighton that exists to help people know Jesus.

Together Weekend // A People of God's Presence - Alan Frow // Exodus 33:1-18

This sermon from Exodus 33 explores what it means to be a people marked by the presence of God. Through Moses’ bold prayer, “Show me Your glory,” it reminds us that God’s greatest gift is not merely His blessings, but His presence with His people. The message traces the Bible’s story from Eden to the tabernacle and ultimately to Jesus Christ, who, through His death and resurrection, removed every barrier separating us from God and made a way for us to live in His presence. Believers are encouraged to hold together gratitude for God's faithful presence with a fresh expectancy for Him to move today, seeking not just His gifts, but a deeper relationship with the Giver Himself.

The World Turned Upside Down Pt.3 // The Name - George Benson // Acts 19:1-22

This sermon from Acts 19 explores how Christians are uniquely empowered to face darkness, temptation, and spiritual opposition through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Paul’s ministry in Ephesus, it contrasts genuine spiritual power with empty religion, showing that true transformation comes not from formulas, rituals, or self-effort, but from a real encounter with Jesus Christ. The message encourages believers to seek God’s power, walk in the authority of His name, and resist the lies that keep them in bondage. Ultimately, it points to the cross as the greatest display of God’s power, where Jesus defeated sin, death, and the devil, inviting us to worship Him, trust Him, and experience the freedom only He can give._____________We are a Church in Brighton that exists to help people know Jesus.
