  • Sunday Sermon: 19 April 2026
    Apr 19 2026

    In this message from the SENT series, we move beyond the idea of being sent and begin to understand what we are actually sent to do. In Luke 24, we step into a powerful post-resurrection moment where Jesus meets His disciples in the middle of their uncertainty and gently leads them into clarity, confidence, and calling.

    The disciples aren’t bold or fearless—they’re startled, questioning, and trying to make sense of everything that has happened. But Jesus doesn’t withdraw from their doubt. He comes close. He invites them to see, to touch, to share a meal. In doing so, He shows that faith is not abstract—it’s deeply personal, formed in real encounters with a living Saviour.

    As Jesus opens their minds to the bigger story of Scripture—from Genesis through the prophets—He reveals that His death and resurrection were never accidental, but part of God’s plan all along. And then He speaks words that define not only their identity, but ours: “You are witnesses of these things.”

    This message reminds us that being a witness isn’t about having all the answers or winning arguments. It’s about simply sharing what we’ve seen and experienced. Like the man in John 9, our role is not to explain everything—but to say, “This is what Jesus has done in my life.”

    In a world where faith can feel difficult to talk about, this message brings both challenge and relief. We are called to share—but not in our own strength. Jesus promises the Holy Spirit, empowering ordinary people to carry an extraordinary message.

    And rather than overwhelming us with the scale of the mission, this message brings it close to home: one person, one conversation, one step of faith.

    📖 Key Texts: Luke 24:36–49 🕊️ Theme: We are not called to argue - but to witness what Jesus has done 🎧 Takeaway: You don’t need perfect words—just a real story and a willingness to share it

    In this opening message from the SENT series, we step into the moment where the risen Jesus meets His disciples behind locked doors and speaks both peace and purpose into their fear.

    At first glance, the disciples don’t look like people ready to change the world. They are uncertain, hesitant, and afraid. Yet it’s into that very space that Jesus comes — not with rebuke, but with peace. Before He sends them, He restores them.

    This passage reminds us that the mission of God doesn’t begin with confidence or capability, but with encountering Jesus. His peace settles our fears,

    His presence changes our identity, and His Spirit empowers us to step forward.

    When Jesus says, “As the Father has sent me, so I send you,” He redefines what it means to follow Him. We are not just saved — we are sent. Not in our own strength, but filled and equipped by the Holy Spirit to live with purpose in everyday places.

    And in a world where faith is often kept private, this message calls us to something simple and personal: to notice the one person God is placing on our hearts, and to step out with courage, compassion, and hope.

    📖 Key Texts: John 20:19–22, Genesis 2, John 14:27, Romans 5:1 🕊️ Theme: Jesus meets us in our fear, gives us His peace, and sends us with His purpose 🎧 Takeaway: We don’t need to have it all together — we simply need to receive His peace and step out, trusting that He goes with us

  • Sunday Sermon: 29 March 2026 (PALM SUNDAY)
    Apr 14 2026

    In this Palm Sunday message, we step into the tension of one of the most well-known moments in the life of Jesus — a celebration that quickly turns into rejection.

    As Jesus enters Jerusalem, the crowds cry out “Hosanna!” and welcome Him as King. Yet beneath the excitement lies a deeper misunderstanding.

    They were looking for a king who would meet their expectations — a political rescuer, a powerful ruler, a quick solution to their problems.

    But Jesus arrives in a very different way.

    Riding on a donkey, He reveals a kingdom built not on power or force, but on humility, peace, and sacrificial love. He is the true King — just not the one they expected.

    This message challenges us to reflect on our own expectations of Jesus. Do we follow Him only when He fits our plans, or are we willing to trust Him as the King we truly need?

    Because while the crowd wanted immediate change around them, Jesus came to bring something deeper — transformation within. A salvation that reaches beyond circumstances and into the heart.

    📖 Key Texts: Matthew 21:1–11, Zechariah 9:9, John 12:12–16 🕊️ Theme: Jesus is not always the King we expect, but He is always the King we need 🎧 Takeaway: True salvation isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about allowing Jesus to transform us from the inside out
