Emmanuel Sunday Talks

The Truth // Sharing The Truth - Matt Carvel // 2 Timothy 2:14-17

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.

The Truth // Worshipping in Spirit and Truth - George Benson // John 4:19-26

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.

Gift Day // Care Campaign - Tim Jones // Isaiah 61:1-4

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.

The Truth // Walking in The Truth - Tobi Ford-Western // Psalm 86:11

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.

The Truth // Speaking The Truth - Matt Carvel // Ephesians 4:4-16

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.
