  • Jesus is the righteousness we need (Matthew 5:20-26)
    2025/07/27

    Sunday message from 27 July 2025 on Matthew 5:20-26

    In this episode, you’ll explore what true righteousness looks like in everyday life—beyond seeking approval, success, or self-worth. Through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, you’ll see that real righteousness isn’t about outward actions but a heart shaped by love and mercy. You will be reminded that this righteousness is a gift—given to you through faith and baptism—not something you earn. You’ll be encouraged to live in that grace, reflecting Christ’s love in how you treat others.

  • Birth of the NT Church (Acts 2:1-21)
    2025/06/15

    Sunday message from 15 June 2025 on Acts 2:1-21


    In this Holy Trinity Sunday sermon, you will learn how the Holy Spirit is your helper, comforter, and advocate, always pointing you to Jesus. You’ll explore how Pentecost connects to the Jewish Feast of Weeks and how the Spirit empowered the disciples to share the Gospel in many languages. The Spirit still works today: convicting sin, comforting with the Gospel, and strengthening faith through Word and Sacrament. The Spirit is not about emotional experiences, but about preparing you for Christ’s return and keeping you rooted in God’s promises.

  • The Spirit strengthens witness in persecution (John 15:26-16:4)
    2025/06/01

    Sunday message from 1 June 2025 on John 15:26-16:4


    This sermon begins with the story of Hatun Tash—a Christian from Turkey enduring brutal persecution in London, including being stabbed and imprisoned for her faith. Yet she still proclaims Jesus with boldness. As you listen, you will learn to rest entirely on God’s grace when suffering threatens to overwhelm you. Persecution of the Christian church is very present globally (over 12 believers killed and 20 church buildings attacked every day). However, the account tells you of the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who, in the face of such darkness, continually reminds you to trust in His working in you and those you witness to and in Christ’s victory over sin and death.
