Success and Failure before God

16th November 2025

God's measure of success is not worldly achievement but humble obedience and openness to His working. From Moses' mixed record of faith and failure, through Ananias and Sapphira's tragic deceit, to Paul's call to walk by the Spirit, the message urges believers to live under the New Covenant with sincerity and surrender. Where hearts are quick to repent and yield to the Spirit, divine grace brings renewal both personally and corporately, what Scripture calls revival.

Revival Power

3rd August 2025

The filling (control) of the Holy Spirit is not exclusively an individual experience; it can be a corporate one that transforms an entire community of believers. When a church is filled with the Spirit, its members are moved to act with collective boldness, great faith, and radical generosity, holding all things in common. This is not a political system forced upon people, but a voluntary outpouring of love prompted by God's control. We ought to pray that God would revive His church again, that His Spirit might take over and produce the same unity, power, and witness that characterised the early church.

More Than Obedience

13th July 2025

Praying "Your kingdom come" is a vital spiritual act, asking Heaven to intervene on earth. This prayer is nestled in a passage teaching that our Christian duties should be motivated by faith and performed for an audience of one: our Father who sees in secret. What pleases God most is not mere obedience, but the faith that inspires it. Understanding His kingdom requires grasping the principle of progressive revelation, where God unfolds His plan over time, just as He is doing with end-times events. Therefore, we should pray earnestly for His Kingdom to be demonstrated through revival, a sovereign work of the Holy Spirit that expands the church far more than human organisation ever could.

The Knock at the Door: Lessons from Laodicea

3rd November 2024

True Christianity requires more than correct doctrine—it produces a burning heart for Christ. The Lord's letter to Laodicea speaks against spiritual complacency, where believers are neither cold nor hot in their devotion. When we grow lukewarm, Jesus stands at the door of His own Church, knocking and seeking renewed fellowship. Although Christ owns the Church, He pictures Himself outside of it and knocking to come in. The path to spiritual fervency comes through an individual hearing His voice and responding to let Him come in to His own Church. When an individual responds to the call of Christ, the Lord answers by coming up to that one and creating fellowship with him or her and deepening their relationship with Himself, allowing His presence to rekindle their first love.

Dry Bones to Living Army

3rd November 2024

The restoration of Israel as a nation in 1948 fulfilled the first part of God's prophecy through Ezekiel, but a second step follows the just previous restoration of them to their original land of the Old Testament. This remains yet to happen - their spiritual awakening. Just as God acted to restore physical Israel as told in Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37, then He has a second action as Chapters 37 and 38 describe a day when He will breathe spiritual life into their 'dry bones'. He can and will bring about spiritual revival to the nation. They won't stop being Jewish, but they will become Christians. The Jewish people's future conversion to Christ will come through a time of crisis, when nations from the north attack Israel. This pattern of the Holy Spirit's awakening work - bringing conviction of sin followed by spiritual life - applies not only to Israel but to all peoples and individuals who come under conviction to turn to God. There can be a "personal awakening" in the individual or "national awakening" as a nation to God. The threat of invasion from the North by a team of enemy nations will cause the Israeli people to repent of their sinful ways and cry out to God.

Revival and Worship in the New Covenant

21st April 2024

This sermon explores the profound shift from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant and the critical role of the Holy Spirit in this transformation. The preacher delves into biblical instances of God’s manifested presence, such as the cloud filling the temple, to illustrate God’s continued desire to be amongst His people. The message highlights the need for genuine spiritual revival which often comes when heartfelt worship from God’s people occurs. This talk is especially relevant for those interested in understanding how historical biblical events in the Old Testament apply to modern faith practices and church life.

God alone brings Revival

11th February 2024

"In our church we have been talking about in the morning services the old covenant led by Moses the law and the new covenant Led by Jesus and the biblical statement. That's The law came by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ This morning particularly we are looking at the word grace and the fact that grace is when God pours out His love love and does something for you totally undeserved. That's his grace."
