  • Reaching for the One: God's Heart and Our Role | THE ONE| Romans 10:5-17 | Richard Hylton

    Reaching for the One: God's Heart and Our Role | THE ONE| Romans 10:5-17 | Richard Hylton
    2025/09/15
    In this episode, Richard Hylton shares from Romans 10 on God’s heart for those who are far from Him. Paul’s longing for his people to be saved reflects the Father’s own desire that none should perish, but that all should come to know Him. The gospel is clear: everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, but how can they believe unless they hear? Reaching The One invites us to consider our role in this story—not out of duty or pressure, but as an overflow of intimacy with God. When we live rooted in His presence, our words and actions become a natural witness, pointing others to Jesus. Whether planting seeds, watering, or simply showing up with the love of Christ, God is the one who brings growth. This message challenges us to see the people around us the way God does: each one known, each one loved, and each one worth reaching.

  • Searching for the One: Lost away and lost at Home | THE ONE | Luke 15:11-32 | Dave Carter

    Searching for the One: Lost away and lost at Home | THE ONE | Luke 15:11-32 | Dave Carter
    2025/09/11

    This message explores one of Jesus’ most powerful parables, often called The Prodigal Son, but more fittingly The Parable of the Two Sons. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories of what was lost and then found—the sheep, the coin, and finally, the sons—revealing God’s relentless heart for people.


    Through the rebellion of the younger son and the resentment of the older, we see that both are lost in different ways. One runs away in open sin, the other hides behind self-righteousness. Yet the Father seeks both—running to embrace the prodigal and gently entreating the elder.


    This sermon calls us to see ourselves in the story: Are we the younger, needing grace? Or the older, resenting grace? And ultimately, will we rejoice with God when the lost are found?

  • Rejoicing in the One: A United People on Mission | THE ONE | Ephesians 4:1–6 | Dave Carter

    Rejoicing in the One: A United People on Mission | THE ONE | Ephesians 4:1–6 | Dave Carter
    2025/09/01
    What does it mean to truly be a unified church? In this preach, Dave unpacks Paul’s powerful call to unity from Ephesians 4:1–6 and shows how humility, gentleness, patience and love form the foundation of a Spirit-led community. Unity is not uniformity, nor is it optional; it is central to the gospel we proclaim. This talk explores: • The manner and means of unity, how we live out humility, gentleness, patience and love. • The basis of unity, the sevenfold “one” that roots us in Christ and the triune God. • Why unity is essential for mission and witness in a divided world. If Freedom Church is to be a growing church plant that reflects Christ to our communities, we must embrace the Spirit-given bond of peace and rejoice together as one Body under one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all.

  • Practising the Way 7 - Life Together

    Practising the Way 7 - Life Together
    2025/07/20
    As we continue our Practising the Way journey, this week we explore one of the most vital aspects of following Jesus: doing it together. From the earliest days of His ministry, Jesus called people not just to Himself, but to one another. Discipleship was never meant to be a solo mission—it’s a shared life, marked by depth, vulnerability, and a commitment to transformation. Drawing from Jesus’ example in Mark 1 and 3, and the wisdom of John Mark Comer and Rowan Williams, we unpack what it means to move from radical individualism toward the Kingdom culture of community. This is more than church attendance. It’s about showing up for one another in the everyday, forming spiritual friendships, and intentionally building relationships that shape us into the people God is calling us to be. Psalm 68:6 tells us, “God sets the lonely in families.” In this episode, we consider how to cultivate the kind of community that sustains us on the lifelong path of following Jesus—where we are known, challenged, encouraged, and changed.

    Relational Mission Community Day- From Rock Bottom to Redemption | John Kirkby
    2025/07/14

    This week Freedom Church visited City Church Canterbury, along with 8 other churches, for our Relational Mission Community Day.


    In this moving talk, John Kirkby — founder of Christians Against Poverty and leader of the Isaiah 61 movement — shares his personal story of transformation: from a lost, broken man living in deep debt and despair, to a life turned around by the kindness of a stranger, the love of a local church, and the redeeming power of Jesus.


    This message is not just a testimony — it’s a call to action. John challenges us to rethink evangelism and take five seconds of courage to change someone’s eternity. Through his story and the vision behind Isaiah 61, you’ll be inspired to believe again that no life is too far gone.


    Whether you’re struggling to share your faith or longing to see your church culture shift towards Jesus-sharing, this talk will move and motivate you.
