“Raising The Shield of Faith” | Ephesians 6 Vs 10-16 - Ephesians
Paul describes faith as a shield large enough to cover the believer completely, able to quench the fiery darts of the enemy. Hebrews 11 shows faith as both the foundation of our hope and the evidence of unseen realities. In this sermon, we see how worship fireproofs our shield, the Word enlarges it, and trust strengthens it. Saul treated worship, the Word, and trust as tools for his own gain, while David treasured them as his life with God. Faith rightly placed in God still deflects every dart today.

“Worship As Warfare” | Ephesians 5 Vs 18-21 - Ephesians
Worship isn’t just music before the message — it’s a battle cry. In this sermon, we walk through what it means to approach worship as warfare, under three headings: preparation, participation, and posture. Worship prepares our hearts, builds up the body, and pushes back darkness. Through Scripture-saturated singing and whole-body surrender, the church stands strong in the fight of faith. This is not about personality or performance — it's about obedience, trust, and showing up ready to bring something to the table.

“Lace Up Those Gospel Shoes” | Ephesians 6 Vs 15 - Ephesians
This week’s message is all about the spiritual battle we’re in and how the gospel equips us to stand strong, move forward, and keep going. Paul says to put on the whole armour of God, and part of that is lacing up our gospel shoes. These aren’t just any shoes—they’re made from the preparation of the gospel of peace. They help us hold our ground, take new ground, and stay grounded when the world gets dark. The gospel isn’t just the starting point of our faith, it’s the solid ground we walk on every day. Jesus is our armour, and when we put Him on, we’re ready for anything.

“Guarding Your Heart With Righteousness” | Ephesians 6 Vs 14 - Ephesians
In this message, we’re looking at what it means to “put on the breastplate of righteousness.” It’s not just about protection—it’s about identity, direction, and grit. The righteousness we wear isn’t our own, but the righteousness of Jesus given to us by faith. That righteousness guards our hearts from shame and accusation, guides us in how we live each day, and gives us the grit to keep going, even when life gets tough.

“Buckle Up With The Belt of Truth” | Ephesians 6 Vs 14 - Ephesians
Paul tells believers to “gird your waist with truth” as part of the armour of God. The belt of truth is not optional—it is what binds life together, builds inner strength, and brands us as belonging to Christ. Without truth we unravel, weaken, and lose our witness. With truth we stand firm.

“Armour Up” | Ephesians 6 Vs 10-13 - Ephesians
This week’s message, “Armour Up,” is all about standing firm in a spiritual fight that’s real, even if we can’t see it. From the lies we hear to the battles we face in our hearts and homes, the Bible says there’s a bigger war going on behind the scenes. Paul tells us in Ephesians that the Christian life isn’t just about blessings and walking right — it’s also about standing strong when things get tough. We’re not fighting with our own strength; our power comes from Jesus. And the armour God gives us? It’s not just symbolic — it’s for real-life battles. From truth to salvation, prayer to the Word, this is about being ready, being equipped, and trusting God to lead the charge. Time to gear up and stand our ground.

“Work As Worship” | Ephesians 6 Vs 5-9 - Ephesians
This message takes a look at “eye-service” — obeying or working hard only when someone’s watching. Using a story about a sneaky dog named Colby, we see how easily we can live for human approval instead of serving God from the heart. Ephesians 6 Vs 5-9 calls us to a higher standard: working with sincerity, knowing that the Lord is always watching. From biblical examples like Joseph to practical steps for integrity, this sermon helps us shift from being “men-pleasers” to living for an audience of One.

“Raising Up” | Ephesians 6 Vs 1-4 - Ephesians
In this message, we look at God’s blueprint for the family found in Ephesians 6:1-4. Paul gives clear direction to both children and parents: children are called to obey and honour, while parents are called to lovingly raise their children in the training and instruction of the Lord. We’ll see how obedience brings blessing, why honour matters just as much as action, and how parents can avoid provoking their children while pointing them toward Jesus.

“Love and Respect" | Ephesians 5 Vs 22-33 - Ephesians
This week, we looked at what biblical love and respect look like inside a marriage—and how marriage itself points us to Christ and His Church. Paul doesn’t give a theoretical lesson; he gets practical about what it means to walk in wisdom and mutual submission. Husbands are called to lead by loving like Jesus, and wives are called to respect in a way that mirrors the Church's trust in Christ. Marriage is more than just a relationship—it’s a living parable of the gospel.

“Walking In Wisdom” | Ephesians 5 Vs 15-21 - Ephesians
In this message, we unpack what it really means to walk in wisdom, especially in a world that’s full of distractions, danger, and foolishness. Pulling from Paul’s words in Ephesians 5, we explore three key marks of a wise, Spirit-filled life: walking carefully, welcoming the Spirit’s control, and living a life of joyful worship and humility. This isn’t about head knowledge—it’s about a life that reflects Jesus in everyday moments.

“Walking in The Light” | Ephesians 5 Vs 3-14 - Ephesians
This message challenges us to leave behind the secret sins that thrive in the dark and walk boldly in the light of Christ. Based on Ephesians 5, we talk about what it means to live as children of light in a world that often celebrates the very things God warns us about. From how we talk, to how we think, to how we live, the light of Christ changes everything. We’re called to shine—not just for our own sake, but to awaken others still stuck in the dark.

“Walk in Love” | Ephesians 5 Vs 1-2 - Ephesians
Everybody’s got their own walk, but the Bible talks about walking as a way of life—how we live day to day. In this message from Ephesians 5 Vs 1-2, we’re kicking off a new series about what it means to walk as followers of Jesus. We're called to walk in love—not to earn God’s love, but because we already have it. This week, we looked at three truths that help us live that out: being positioned as God’s beloved kids, patterned after Jesus, and poured out in love like a fragrant offering to God.

“New Words for a New Heart” | Ephesians 4 Vs 29-32 - Ephesians
This week we wrap up our “New Life” series with a focus on our words. In “New Words for a New Heart,” we talk about how our speech reflects our heart—and how Christ calls us to use our words to build, not break. Paul tells us to trash the rotten stuff like gossip, slander, and bitterness, and instead speak life, grace, and forgiveness. This isn’t about being nice—it’s about being new. Jesus didn’t just change our steps, He changed our speech. And when our hearts are transformed by the Gospel, our words follow.

“New Shoes For A New Walk” | Ephesians 4 Vs 25-28 - Ephesians
This message walks through what it looks like to actually live out the new life we have in Christ. Paul gets real practical in Ephesians 4 Vs 25-28 — showing us how the gospel shapes how we speak, how we handle anger, and how we work. These aren’t just rules to follow — they’re transformations that flow from who we are in Jesus. It’s not about trying harder; it’s about being changed from the inside out by the Spirit of God.

“Off with the Old, On with the New” | Ephesians 4 Vs 20-24 - Ephesians
This message continues our walk through Ephesians 4. After last week’s warning about the danger of drifting into a hardened heart, this week we’re focusing on the positive change Christ calls us to. Paul shows us what it means to learn Christ, leave behind the old life, and live out the new one. Being a follower of Jesus isn’t just about stopping bad habits—it’s about walking in a completely new identity. You’ll hear how our relationship with Jesus transforms our mind, actions, and purpose, and why it’s time to take off the grave clothes and put on grace clothes.

"No Turning Back" | Ephesians 4 Vs 17–19 - Ephesians
In this message, “No Turning Back,” we explore Ephesians 4 Vs 17–19, where Paul issues a strong call not to return to our old ways of living. Spiritual decay is often gradual, a slow hardening of the heart that numbs us to sin and distances us from God. But in Christ, we are new creations—called to remember who we are, recognise the danger of a calloused heart, recoil from sin, and resolve to live in holiness. There is no drifting into godliness—it takes grace, vigilance, and resolve.

“Built To Last” | Ephesians 4 Vs 11-16 - Ephesians
In this message we look at how Jesus is building His church with true structural integrity—not with cheap materials or shortcuts. From Ephesians 4, we explore how the church is called to grow into Christ through truth and love. Our method is truth, our mode is love, and our model is Christ. This sermon reminds us that Scripture is not in competition with Jesus—it reveals Him. Real spiritual growth happens when we commit to "truthing" in love and depending on the Spirit. Whether you’re dealing with personal struggle, trying to help others grow, or wondering how to live more like Jesus, this one’s for you.

“Built For Connection” | Ephesians 4 Vs 11-16 - Ephesians
This week, we’re reminded that God didn’t design us to grow in isolation. We were built for connection. Ephesians 4 shows that real maturity happens when we stay joined together, each part doing its share. Disconnection might feel easier when we’re hurt or tired—but it stunts our growth and weakens the body. The Church grows when we speak the truth in love, stay connected, and bring what only we can supply.
