Sermon Series: Easter
Sermon Title: His Life for Ours
Bible Passage: Isaiah 53:10–12
Preacher: Robin Vonk
Date & Time: Sunday, 5 April 2026 | 9:30am

Easter Sunday brings us to the climax of the gospel story. In Isaiah 53:10–12, we see that the suffering of the servant was not an accident, but the very plan of God. What seemed like defeat on the cross is revealed as victory—God’s purpose to save sinners through the sacrifice of His Son.

In this sermon, we will explore how this passage points us beyond the suffering to the triumph. The servant who was crushed now lives. The one who bore sin now justifies many. Through His sacrifice, forgiveness is secured, and through His resurrection, new life is given. This is the great exchange at the heart of the gospel: Jesus takes our sin, and we receive His righteousness.

This sermon will show that Easter is not only about what Jesus has done, but what He now offers. Because He lives, those who trust in Him are no longer defined by guilt or death, but by grace and life. The risen Christ stands victorious, interceding for His people and inviting all to share in the salvation He has accomplished.

As we celebrate Easter, we are reminded that His life for ours is not just a moment in history—it is the hope that transforms our present and secures our future.

Sermon Title: His Life for Ours
Bible Passage: Isaiah 52:13–53:9
Preacher: Ian Morrison
Date & Time: Good Friday, 3 April 2026 | 9:30 am

On Good Friday, we come face to face with one of the most profound and moving passages in all of Scripture. Isaiah 52:13–53:9 paints a vivid picture of the suffering servant—the One who is rejected, pierced, and crushed—not for His own sins, but for ours.

This passage reveals the depth of human sin and the even greater depth of God’s love. The servant is despised and rejected, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows. He is wounded for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities, and by His wounds we are healed. What looks like defeat is, in fact, the very means by which God brings forgiveness and peace.

On the cross, Jesus fulfils this prophecy completely. He takes our place, bearing the judgment we deserve, so that we might receive the life we could never earn. His suffering is not meaningless—it is substitution. His death is not the end—it is the doorway to salvation.

This Good Friday message will invite us to consider the cost of our redemption and the wonder of God’s grace. In Christ, our sin is laid on Him, and His righteousness is given to us. His life for ours—the innocent for the guilty, the righteous for the unrighteous—so that we might be brought back to God.

Sermon Series: The Ten Commandments
Sermon Title: 8. You Shall Not Steal
Bible Passage: Exodus 20:1–15
Preacher: Robin Vonk
Date & Time: Sunday, 29 March 2026 | 9:30am

“You shall not steal” may sound simple, but this command reaches into every corner of our lives. In Exodus 20:15, God calls His people to respect what belongs to others, living with honesty, integrity, and trust. At its heart, this command is about more than taking what is not ours—it is about recognising God as the true provider and living contentedly under His care.

Greed, envy, and a lack of trust in God can lead us to take, withhold, or manipulate in ways that dishonour Him and harm others. God’s law reveals both the goodness of His design and the ways we fall short.

The gospel speaks directly into this brokenness. Though we have taken what is not ours—whether in actions, time, or trust—Jesus gives what we could never earn. He who had all riches became poor for our sake, so that through His death and resurrection we might receive forgiveness and true riches in Him. Instead of taking, Christ gives; instead of grasping, He lays down His life. In Him, we are not only forgiven, but transformed into people who reflect His generosity.

As part of The Ten Commandments series, this message will show that God’s command is not merely about restraint, but about renewal. In Christ, we are freed from the need to grasp and invited to live with open hands—trusting God’s provision and using what He has given to bless others.

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." - Romans 12:1-2

Sermon Title: Praying with Paul
Bible Passage: Ephesians 1:15–23
Preacher: Ken Coleman
Date & Time: Sunday, 22 March 2026 | 9:30am

In Ephesians 1:15-23, the Apostle Paul's prayer for the Ephesian believers is rich, deep, and centred entirely on the work of God in Christ. In Praying with Paul, we will explore what it means to pray not merely for circumstances to change, but for hearts to be opened to the fullness of the gospel.

Paul prays that God would give His people spiritual wisdom, that they would truly know Him, and that the eyes of their hearts would be enlightened. He longs for them to grasp the hope of God’s calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance, and the immeasurable greatness of His power. And this power, Paul says, is the very power that raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at the Father’s right hand—far above every rule and authority.

This is where the gospel shines through Paul’s prayer. The risen Christ is not distant but reigning. The same power that brought Him from death to life now works in those who trust Him. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers are brought into a relationship with God, given a secure hope, and united to the One who fills all things.

This sermon will invite us to pray differently—to pray with gospel-shaped priorities, longing for deeper knowledge of Christ, greater confidence in God’s promises, and renewed strength to live as His people. As we “pray with Paul,” we will see that true prayer is not about trying to get God’s attention but responding to the glorious truth of what He has already done for us in Jesus.
