Nite Ev Sermons

John the baptist didn't preach a 'safe space' message to the crowd but challenged them with repentance that was evidenced by a changed life. Jez Reynolds speaks from Luke 3 on the good news this message of repentance brings for them, and us, as it points to the salvation available in Jesus. Is repentance real in your life?

Luke 2 records the most extraordinary event in history: the birth of God into our world. Dan Ford takes us through the evidence for why we can believe such a claim, and also why we should believe it.

Why does the Gospel of Luke begin with John and not Jesus, a choice echoed in all four Gospels? Andrew Heard reveals that this is no accident but a display of God's perfect plan, preparing the way for Christ, fulfilling prophecy, and showing that God hears every prayer and draws near to the broken-hearted and weak.

The gospel of Luke is a carefully researched and investigated account of Jesus' life and ministry. Andrew Heard challenges us to see that the certainty of the Christian message points to reasoned and rational response of faith in Jesus.

Jesus uniquely is able to answer this question, and his answer is equally unique, comforting and confronting. Dan ford unpacks Jesus' answer, and deals with three objections we may have.

Many of us don't know why we exist, yet we are constantly searching for meaning and purpose in life. Andrew Heard explores this question and shares from the Bible how only God can give us ultimate purpose... deep, true, and meaningful existence that's bigger than us.

The question of suffering is one that every generation asks. Jez Reynolds steps through the Bible’s layered response and the comfort and hope it offers.

The scriptures tell us that God loves us and wants to save! Andrew Heard speaks from the end of Luke's gospel, that Jesus preached he must suffer and die, and that this message must be preached to the world for salvation.

A new year! What are your aims and hopes? Andrew Hayes shows us what God says about his word in the book of Isaiah, and challenges us to make 2025 a year of God's word. Be fuelled for a year of sharing it and reading it by these 4 truths: 1. The tragedy of Isaiah's day: God's Word is neglected (Isaiah 5:24) 2. Hope for the last days: nations streaming to hear God's word (Isaiah 2:2-3) 3. Encouragement in the waiting days: God's word is unfailingly reliable (Isaiah 40:8) and powerful (Isaiah 50:10-11) 4. The challenge for us today: be people who tremble at God's word (Isaiah 66:2)

We find comfort in many of the traditions we attach to Christmas. But there's a far deeper and longer lasting comfort on offer when we understand the meaning of that very first Christmas, as Dan Ford shows from Isaiah's long-range birth announcement.

We live in what's often called a therapeutic age, a culture focused on seeking what makes us "feel good." But is that what we should expect from church? Or from God? Join Andrew Heard as he helps us unpack these questions in the final instalment of our 1 John series.

The phrase 'Love is love' is often used to define love in today's world, but what does it truly mean? Andrew Heard guides us in uncovering the biblical definition of love.

As we continue our journey through 1 John, Andrew Heard helps us identify the evidence of a truly born-again Christian and reflects on the contrasting situations we might encounter as a result.

Nothing says apocalyptic cult like talk of the end times and the antichrist. But a closer look at what the Bible really says (rather than Hollywood) shows that the key danger in the end times is spiritual rather than physical. We see in 1 John 2:18-28 that the great danger is that we'll miss the truth of Jesus. But we also see the defences that God kindly provides to keep us in the truth.

How do we spot the difference between genuine faith and fake faith? Genuine believers and deceivers? Dan Ford outlines what to expect in the life of a genuine believer from 1 John 2:1-14.

Are you confident that you have eternal life? As we dive into our series on 1 John, Dan Ford outlines what the Christian message is, from 1 John 1:1-10 - a message that can give you eternal life.

Our society tends to have two extreme views about children; they are either 'everything' or a 'costly inconvenience'. Grahame Fuller speaks on the Bible's wonderfully positive view of children, that they are part of God's plan for the world and worth our investment in raising the next generation to know him.

The Bible promotes the most liberating view of sex! Andrew Heard unpacks this claim - surprising to many but relevant for all as he shows how our understanding of sexuality draws out deep things about what it is to be human.

'The world in its present form is passing away'. How does this reality shape our understanding of marriage and singleness? Dan Ford helps us consider the priority the Bible places on singleness, while still upholding the goodness of marriage.

Whatever your experience of earthly family has been, you were made for a far more wonderful, glorious, eternal family. Andrew Heard speaks on the heavenly father with whom we are made for relationship and by the Spirit adopted to sonship.
