In Colossians 3:1–14, we discover that God’s “dress code” is not about what’s on your body, but what’s forming your character: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and love. This sermon gets practical about how to deal with difficult people, when to bear with someone, and when to forgive, so resentment doesn’t quietly shape your life. If you’ve ever struggled with anger, grudges, awkward relationships, or the urge to isolate, this is for you.
In John 13:34–35, Jesus gives a “new command”: love one another, as I have loved you. In this sermon, we explore what it means to love like Jesus: humble service (even when it is costly), authenticity and vulnerability instead of performance, and living from a secure identity in what the Father says about you.
Peace so often feels fleeting or unattainable in our day. Whether it's conflict between nations, friends or even within our own minds and emotions. How do we gain perfect peace in a tumultuous world? We come to our final Christmas message as we explore Jesus Christ as the Prince of Peace.
This coming son and child, this savious, will also be known as the Father of the Everlasting. Supreme over eternity past and future, the Lord Jesus reigns now in the heavens and will some day bring his Kingdom to earth with finality and everlasting authority.
Isaiah says this coming Saviour will also be a Mighty God! We see this in Jesus' life as he calmed storms, healed the sick and raised the dead, and we see it in the future as he reigns supreme over a restored earth. But what about now? How is Jesus exercising his authority as Mighty God today in our lives? We explore this second title in our Christmas series today - and what a comfort it is!
As we begin our four-week Christmas series, we explore a popular passage from Isaiah 9 which details four titles as expressions of the coming Messiah's character. Today we look at Jesus Christ as Wonderful Counselor. What a name! In a world of chaos and confusion, isn't it wonderful to know that we come to a Saviour who has perfect counsel, perfect wisdom to help us navigate life with Him.
On Celebration Sunday, Simon and Floyd unpack the story of Samuel’s “Ebenezer” stone in 1 Samuel 7:12 and invite us to look back on a year of God’s faithfulness at The Street. From quiet revival among young people and online church stories, to caring for refugees, raising emerging leaders, and planting new churches, this message calls us to remember how “thus far the Lord has helped us” and to ask what part we’ll play in what God is doing next.Where have you seen “Ebenezer moments” in your own life – times when you can honestly say, “Thus far the Lord has helped me”?
When you consider your family, workplace, community, city - what things are present that grieve God's heart? What things do you long to see renewed and restored? What things are you crying out for revival in? Habakkuk was someone who longed to see God repeat his works of old in his day. What can we learn from this prophet of old in crying out for revival in our day?
Similar to Jehoshaphat, King Hezekiah faces a terrible threat from the Babylonian army, and while his response is similar, it's also different. Hezekiah prays a very simple prayer of trust and makes a clear request for God to act in specific ways for specific reasons.
When faced with an existential threat, King Jehoshaphat goes straight to his source of strength and trust - Almighty God. What's your tendency when things are getting crazy or difficult? Jehoshaphat's prayer shows us what it looks like to trust God and worship even before we see a favourable outcome.
David was Israel's most revered King. A man after God's own heart. A warrior. A poet. And he sinned terribly against the Lord. It's from this pit of regret and repentance that he writes Psalm 51, acknowledging the depths of his sin, and calling on God's mercy and compassion to restore him. We can all sin like David, but can we repent like him?
Do you find it easier to worship God when things are or aren't going well for you in life? What about when you finally get the answer to the prayer you were longing for - do you immediately turn it back to God in worship, or carry on with a small 'thanks' to him? Hannah's prayer shows what deep worship and gratitude look like after a journey of pain and waiting. The reminder for us is that God is ALWAYS worthy of praise, no matter life's circumstances.
Feeling dry, anxious, or stuck? In John 7:37-39, Jesus invites anyone who is thirsty to come and drink—promising the Holy Spirit as “rivers of living water.” In this message, we explore what that means today: God’s presence within, abundant life (not just survival), deep joy that reshapes our character, and the cleansing that gives us a new heart (see Ezekiel 36). Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, discover how to ask and receive the life He offers.
The dwelling place of God is now with his people—in a city, a garden city. Eden has been restored! Jesus finishes his revelation to John with the important words: “I am coming soon!” How do we now live in response to His Second Coming? We say, “Come, Lord Jesus.”
You might've heard the phrase, "It is better to give than receive." But is it something you've truly experienced? Why do we often find it so much easier to receive than to give? Matt Rowan takes a look at the topic of generosity in this one-off message and shows us that it's much easier to give things away when you don't see them as yours to own.
When people disappoint you, or even oppose you, what keeps you going? In Paul’s last recorded words, we meet real people (Demas, Alexander, Luke, Mark) and a very real God. Paul is emotionally drained yet spiritually sustained, so the message was fully proclaimed, and God received the glory. Discover how to build teams (turn ladders into relays), restore broken relationships, face opposition wisely, and find hope in Jesus’ presence when you feel alone.
Psalm 67 is a call for the nations to be glad and praise God! But how will the many nations respond to such a call? Paul Windsor shows how Psalm 67 is a beautiful missional call to take the gospel to the ends of the earth, for the glory of God.
So what will the world look like without Satan, sin and death? Well, "now the dwelling place of God is among the people". God will make His home with us in a new city, the heavenly Jerusalem—a place of eternal peace, security, and prosperity. How might such a future hope give us joy and perseverance now?
In the end, Jesus wins, and Satan, sin and death are fully and finally defeated. The Great White Throne is God's final act of judgment against sin, a terrifying prospect for anyone who doesn't acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. However, we see that even after a thousand years of Jesus Christ ruling on earth, people's hearts remain hardened towards Him. This is the final, terrifying judgment when God's justice is ultimately satisfied.
When culture says “bow,” how do you stand firm? This message explains Revelation 13 in plain language. Who is the Antichrist? What is the beast from the sea? Why a false trinity? And then gets practical: resist idolatry, cling to truth (Scripture), embrace patient endurance, and do it together. It’s end times prophecy that speaks to today.
