Cultivating Your Heart for a Spiritual Harvest (The Parable of the Four Soils)

The parable of the four soils reveals that the Word of God doesn't operate mechanically or inevitably. Two people can hear exactly the same message: one can have their life changed yet the other can remain unmoved. The ultimate reason for this is explained in this all-important parable; Jesus teaches us how the conditions of our heart need to be right in order for us to experience harvest. This sermon unpacks Jesus' teaching here and shows how to transform the soil of our heart into good soil that can bear much fruit.

Hidden in Plain Sight (An Introduction to the Parables of Jesus)

This introductory sermon to our series on the parables of Jesus will help you discover some of the wonder and power of the parables. The paradox of the parables is that they can both reveal and conceal spiritual truth depending on the state of heart of the listener. As you learn what parables are and why Jesus often taught using them, you will be inspired to keep on craving more revelation from God about the mysteries of His kingdom.

This Changes Everything

This Easter Sunday sermon highlights some of the staggering consequences of the resurrection: the resurrection proves Jesus is who He said He is; it shows He has the power He claimed to have; it means that He will do everything He says He will do. Because He was raised from the dead, Jesus can redeem our past, fix our brokenness and make us right with God; He can give us power to live in the present and courage to withstand persecution, problems and pain; and if that wasn't enough, He can give us hope and a future in heaven. 

This is the video that Pastor Dominic refers to in the sermon about the evidence for the resurrection:

Hosanna

Jesus arrived into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday coming not in might but in humility, coming not to overthrow but to lay down his life. He came to defeat the power of sin, He came to trample death, He came so we could have a relationship with God and live in eternity with Him. And like those first disciples the only right response can be for us to cry "Hosanna!".

Three Crosses

Usually, and rightly so, when we think of the events of Good Friday we focus on that middle cross – the cross where Jesus hung. But there were two other crosses at Calvary that day too, and there is indeed much for us to learn as we consider the story of those two other men who were crucified alongside Jesus. Which side of the cross are you on? Listen now to this stirring gospel message. 

Stewards Not Owners

What do you think of when you hear the word "stewardship"? This sermon, delivered in two parts, firstly defines stewardship and then goes on to specifically show what the fact that God owns it all means for how we handle our money. You will gain fresh insights into the power of biblical principles such as tithing and also the need to be the best steward you can be of everything that God has entrusted to you.

Breaking Out of the Debt Trap

Today people routinely spend more than they earn; the result is that not only are they running out of money before running out of month, they are being swept into a sea of debt. This sermon shows what responsible and irresponsible borrowing looks like and draws on biblical wisdom to show the way out of debt.

The Money-Wise Christian

Packed full of biblical insight and instruction, this message contains lots of top tips on how to use your money wisely. Drawing on James 5:1-5 and other scriptural passages, you will learn what the wrong and right accumulation, acquisition and allocation of wealth looks like. As you listen you will be given keys to walk in financial freedom and to manage your money today in such a way that treasures are stored up for you in heaven.

Confronting the Prosperity Gospel

Does God want every believer healthy and wealthy? This message offers a passionate, biblical critique of the central claims of the popular modern-day prosperity preachers and shows that, however one tries to clothe the prosperity gospel in biblical garb, it is totally irreconcilable with the true gospel of Jesus Christ and also detrimental to one's walk with God. Though some settle for less and pursue the short-lived earthly idols of health and wealth, Jesus has something far better to offer us - and in all things anyway, He is enough! 

In Money We Trust?

It is not uncommon to find people who profess Christ as Lord and agree that the Bible is the Word of God yet who don’t live out the implications of this in their day to day lives, not least when it comes to money; their actions show that they are trusting money, not God. This sermon brings a balanced, biblical perspective on money; whilst it is not wrong to have money, it is wrong for money to have you. Listen and learn how to stay free of the influence of Mammon - a demonic spirit that can attach itself to money - and how to walk in God's plan of financial freedom.

We Will Tell the Next Generation

It is almost incomprehensible that after the passionate, adventurous, faith-filled 'Joshua generation' died another generation rose up that did not know the Lord. This message explains how something so unthinkable could happen and shows the vital importance of passing on the baton of faith to the next generation. Not only will you learn how to parent for faith but you will discover that each of us, whether we have children or not, has a responsibility to preserve and transmit God's story for those that come after us.
