  • When the Soul Thirsts: Finding God in Spiritual Depression
    Oct 19 2025

    This sermon walks through Psalm 42–43 to define spiritual depression—when the soul feels distant from God—and explains how it affects our body, mind and spirit.

    It explores possible causes (isolation, mocking, personal susceptibility), offers six practical responses (recognize the problem, use the Psalms, remember past blessings, approach God boldly, preach truth to yourself, anticipate future blessing), and points to Jesus on the cross as the ultimate hope: though believers may feel forsaken, the gospel guarantees we are not abandoned.

  • When the Small Stand Tall: David, Goliath, and the Power of Trust

  • When You Come Together: Healing
    Sep 14 2025

    Why do we do what we do at Foundation Church Belfast?

    In this six-part series we examine six key emphases that shape our gatherings: When You Come Together.

    Healing occupies a prominent place in the earthly ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. It seemed integral to his main message - 'The Kingdom of God is near, repent and believe the gospel!' (Mark 1:15).

    With this in mind, should healing ministry also occupy a prominent place in the local church?

    This message sketches a biblical picture of healing, and gives practical ways the churches can receive and practice the healing ministry of Jesus as we pray, 'Thy Kingdom Come.'

  • Suffering and the Christian Faith
    Aug 31 2025

    According to the Apostle Peter, suffering is not expected, it is to be considered normal for a disciple of Jesus.

    In this sermon, Chris Mckinven points out four ways to deal with suffering as a Christian:

    1. Don't be surprised

    2. Don't be afraid

    3. Don't be silent

    4. Don't forget who you're suffering for

    Only through Jesus does suffering have a purpose and a hope to which we cling.
