Unstoppable: Gospel Opposition and Power - Unstoppable

Respectable Sins: Pride - Respectable Sins

In this sermon Riley explores the hidden and destructive nature of pride. Far more than arrogance, pride is a heart that chooses self-dependence over dependence on God. Looking at Genesis 3 and throughout Scripture, she illustrates how pride lies beneath many of our struggles, shaping our identity, relationships, and view of God. Yet the gospel offers hope: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Through resisting pride, repenting, receiving grace, and walking in community, we can find true freedom, rest, and transformation in Christ.

So Near But So Far - Standalone Sermons

Be Filled With the Holy Spirit - Standalone Sermons

In this sermon, Bates explores Paul’s command in Ephesians 5:18 and reminds us that the Christian life is not meant to be lived through our own strength. Using the picture of a sailboat catching the wind, he shows how the Holy Spirit empowers, guides, and transforms believers as they position themselves to receive His work. Through Scripture, worship, prayer, community, and thanksgiving, we learn to pray a simple but life-changing prayer: “Holy Spirit, fill me and lead me.”

Unstoppable: Gospel Opposition and Power - Unstoppable

In Acts 12, Gareth's sermon explores the reality of gospel opposition and the power of prayer. As the early church faces persecution, imprisonment, and loss, they respond not with fear or self-reliance, but with earnest prayer. Through Peter’s miraculous rescue and Herod’s downfall, we see that while opposition is real, God’s purposes remain unstoppable. This message challenges us to trust God in difficult circumstances, devote ourselves to prayer, and believe that He is still at work advancing His kingdom today.

Unstoppable: Antioch: A Model Church - Unstoppable

In this sermon on Acts 11 and 13, Gareth unpacks how the church in Antioch became a powerful model of a healthy, Spirit-filled church. From multicultural unity and visible grace to discipleship, generosity, worship, and mission, Antioch displayed the transforming power of the gospel. This message challenges believers to embrace God’s purposes, pursue unity across cultural barriers, and become a church that reflects the wisdom and glory of God to the world. Be inspired to ask: what kind of church are we becoming, and does it reflect the heart of Jesus?
