    The Sinner's Defence
    Jan 10 2026
    In this episode, we turn to 1 John chapter 2 and consider one of the most comforting truths in Scripture: Jesus Christ, the sinner's Advocate. Drawing from John's words, "If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father," we are reminded that every one of us stands guilty before God's perfect law. There are no technicalities, no hidden evidence, and no miscarriages of justice in God's courtroom. By His law, we have all sinned and fallen short. Yet into this courtroom steps Jesus Christ the Righteous. As our Advocate, He stands before the Father—not to deny our guilt, but to plead on our behalf. Unlike earthly defenders, Christ does not argue innocence. Instead, He pleads the merits of His own precious blood, shed for sinners. He bore the punishment we deserved, fully satisfying divine justice. This message unfolds the beauty of Christ's qualifications, His perfect righteousness, and the certainty of His success. Those for whom Christ pleads are truly redeemed. The episode closes with a solemn and loving call: Christ is our only hope. To neglect Him is to face judgment alone—but to trust Him is to have an Advocate who never loses a case.

    Motto Text 2026 - The Word Given: The Church Proclaiming
    Jan 4 2026
    The sermon centres on the profound truth that God Himself is the author of Scripture, declaring that 'the Lord gave the word,' and that the church's sacred duty is to proclaim it faithfully. Drawing from Psalm 68:11 and the 500th anniversary of Tyndale's English New Testament, it emphasises the Bible's divine origin, its transformative power, and its indispensable role in revealing God's character, human depravity, and the redemptive work of Christ. The message underscores the Bible's enduring authority, its historical preservation through generations, and the urgent need for believers to treasure, study, and share it with a world increasingly drifting into spiritual darkness. It calls the church to a renewed commitment to Scripture—not merely as a reading habit, but as a life-changing, life-giving, and world-transforming force that must be published with passion and purpose, echoing the sacrifice of those who gave their lives so that the Word might be known in the language of the people.

  • New Beginnings Better Than Resolutions

    New Beginnings Better Than Resolutions
    Jan 4 2026
    The sermon centres on the transformative promise of Revelation 21:5—'Behold, I make all things new'—presenting God's redemptive work as the ultimate new beginning, far surpassing human resolutions or self-effort. It unfolds this truth through four spiritual realities: a new birth, essential for all, as taught in John 3; a new life marked by genuine repentance and transformation, as affirmed in 2 Corinthians 5:17; a new song of praise born from deliverance out of spiritual despair, illustrated by Psalm 40; and a new hope anchored in the eternal promise of a renewed heaven and earth, contrasted with the final judgment for those who reject Christ. The preacher calls listeners to embrace this divine renewal not through human striving, but through faith in Christ alone, emphasising that salvation is available now, in this moment, as the only true beginning that brings lasting change, purpose, and eternal hope.

  • The Hand of God in 2026

    The Hand of God in 2026
    Jan 3 2026
    As a new year dawned in 1940, the world stood trembling on the edge of the unknown. Europe was already gripped by fear, and darker days lay ahead as war spread its shadow. People looked forward with anxious hearts, asking the same question we still ask today: What lies ahead? In that moment of national uncertainty, King George VI offered words of comfort drawn from a simple poem—words that spoke not of clear answers, but of trust. "Put your hand into the hand of God," the voice at the gate of the year replied, "that shall be better than light and safer than a known way." This podcast reflects on that same tension between fear and faith. It acknowledges the reality of loss, illness, and unexpected sorrow—things no one sees coming when a new year begins. Yet it also points to a deeper reassurance found in Psalm 139: a God who knows us completely, who goes before us and behind us, whose hand holds us even in the darkest places. At the gate of another year, with the future still uncertain, the message is clear and timeless. We may not know what lies ahead, but we can know who walks with us. And in that knowledge, there is comfort enough to step forward into the unknown.

  • Three Steps in a Spiritual Journey

    Three Steps in a Spiritual Journey
    Dec 29 2025
    The sermon unfolds the spiritual journey of Noah through three essential steps: grace, walking with God, and obedience, illustrating how divine favor initiates a transformative life. It emphasises that Noah's salvation was not due to his righteousness or heritage, but solely because God's grace distinguished him in a world consumed by wickedness, underscoring that grace is unearned and sufficient even in human failure. The second step, walking with God, is portrayed as a daily commitment rooted in Scripture and prayer, where God's Word shapes character and prayer aligns the heart with divine will. The final step, obedience, highlights faithful action in the face of absurdity and opposition, as Noah built the ark not because he understood the flood, but because he trusted God's command, demonstrating that true discipleship involves complete surrender to God's revealed plan. The message calls believers to embrace the same journey—receiving grace, cultivating intimacy with God, and living in faithful obedience—knowing that such a life, though often lonely and countercultural, preserves a legacy of salvation for generations to come.

  • Looking: Backward; Inward; Forward

    Looking: Backward; Inward; Forward
    Dec 28 2025
    As the year draws to a close, the message calls believers to reflect on the sacred rhythm of looking backward, inward, and forward—honoring the past through faithful remembrance of foundational truths, examining the heart for the presence and growth of Christlike character, and pressing forward with purpose toward spiritual fruitfulness and eternal hope. Rooted in 2 Peter 1, the sermon emphasises that true faith is not static but active, requiring diligent cultivation of virtues such as virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity, which together confirm one's calling and election. The preacher warns against spiritual complacency, rejecting the notion of passive security, and instead calls for a life marked by continual growth, service, and love, grounded in the promise of an abundant entrance into the everlasting kingdom of Jesus Christ. This reflection, shaped by the passing of faithful elders and the brevity of life, is both a solemn challenge and a joyful invitation to live with intention, rooted in God's grace and aimed at eternal glory.

  • Life

    Life
    Dec 28 2025
    The sermon centres on the profound truth that eternal life is found exclusively in Jesus Christ, as declared in 1 John 5:12: he who has the Son has life, and he who does not have the Son has no life. It emphasizes that true life is not merely biological existence but a spiritual reality rooted in a personal relationship with Christ, who is the source of eternal life through His incarnation, sacrificial death, and resurrection. The message underscores that this life is not earned by human effort, religion, or morality, but received by faith and repentance, and it transforms the present life with peace, purpose, and hope. The sermon issues an urgent call to decision, warning that postponing faith in Christ is perilous, as eternity is certain and the opportunity to respond is now—today is the day of salvation. Ultimately, it presents a stark, life-or-death choice: to accept Christ and possess eternal life, or to reject Him and face eternal separation from God.

  • Facing Death WIthout Fear

    Facing Death WIthout Fear
    Dec 28 2025
    The sermon centres on the Christian's confident hope in both life and death, anchored in the transformative truth that 'to live is Christ and to die is gain.' Drawing from Paul's imprisonment and his profound inner struggle between desire to depart and be with Christ and the necessity of remaining for the sake of others, the message emphasises that a life rooted in faith in Jesus Christ transcends fear, suffering, and the finality of death. It presents Christ as the only source of true meaning, peace, and redemption, countering the despair of a world cursed by sin with the gospel of salvation through Christ's substitutionary death and resurrection. The contrast between a despairing view of death—illustrated by a poem of dread—and the Christian's joyful anticipation of eternal fellowship with Christ, as expressed in a mirrored poem of hope, underscores the radical difference faith makes. Ultimately, the sermon calls listeners to repentance, faith in Christ alone, and a life fully surrendered to Him, so that both living and dying are lived in the certainty of eternal life with God.
