Battle Ready Sermons
In our exploration of generous discipleship, we have delved into how our financial resources can embody our commitment to God’s calling and purposes in our lives. Central to this conversation are Paul’s teachings from 1 Timothy 6, encouraging us to use our money generously, store treasures in heaven, and live a fruitful Christian life. We’ve learned that our financial behaviors should reflect our love for God and priority, serving as both practical aid to our family and as contributions to God’s global mission. As we reflect on these principles, we’re reminded in Isaiah 55 that our...

In this message for our 2nd Sunday Celebration, a more informal time of all-age worship, we're invited to explore the awe-inspiring nature of God and our response to his majesty. Through the stories of Isaiah's vision and Peter's miraculous catch of fish, we see how encountering God's holiness leads to a profound awareness of our own imperfections. This realisation prompts us to confess our shortcomings, opening the door to God's transformative forgiveness. The key lesson here is that our 'wow' moments with God should lead us beyond mere amazement to a place of humility, repentance, and...

In this powerful message, we're challenged to broaden our perspective on our Christian mission. The central theme revolves around God's desire for us to use our resources, particularly our money, to win the world for Jesus. Drawing from Isaiah 49:1-7, we're reminded that God's vision extends far beyond our local communities - it's global. The passage emphasizes that we're called to be 'a light for the nations' so that God's salvation becomes global. This aligns perfectly with Jesus' Great Commission in Matt

In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace 'generous discipleship' and invest in God's mutual fund. The core scripture, Romans 12:9-21, calls us to love sincerely and be devoted to one another like a loving family. We're reminded that our faith is proven through our love for each other, as Jesus said in John 13:35. This isn't just about money, but about using our resources - time, talents, and treasures - to build unity and show Christ's love to the world. The early church's example of sharing ev
info_outlineIn this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound connection between generosity and self-denial. Through the lens of the classic film 'It's a Wonderful Life' and the biblical account of Jesus being anointed at Bethany, we're challenged to consider what true sacrifice looks like in our faith journey.
The central theme revolves around Mark 14:1-11, where a woman's extravagant act of pouring expensive perfume on Jesus becomes a testament to sacrificial love. This story, contrasted with the scheming of religious leaders, reminds us that genuine generosity often requires us to deny ourselves.
As we reflect on this, we're prompted to ask: Is our devotion to Christ actually costing us anything? Are we willing to be 'carried away' by our generosity out of love for God and others? This message encourages us to move beyond calculated giving and embrace a love-driven, abandoned generosity that honors God and impacts the world around us.
