In this powerful message, Learning Christ, Pastor Cathal Duffy unpacks Ephesians 4:17–25, calling believers to live from their new identity in Christ.Paul urges us to stop copying the world and instead to put off the old self and put on the new—a daily process of transformation through the Holy Spirit.Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:17, Colossians 3:9–10, and Romans 12:2, Pastor Cathal explains that this renewal is not achieved by human effort but by God’s grace at work within us. Just as Jeremiah exchanged his prison garments for new clothes, we are clothed in righteousness and called to walk in holiness. Our obedience does not make us holy—it honours God—as we continually return to Jesus, learning Him and becoming more like Him. Learning Christ is a message of daily renewal and transformation, reminding us that through the Spirit, we are being shaped into His likeness.

The Power of the Cross
In The Power of the Cross, Peter Burrows unpacks the central message of the gospel: the cross of Jesus Christ. Drawing from passages such as 2 Corinthians 5, John 3:16, Romans 5, and Isaiah 53, the sermon shows how the cross is where God’s justice was executed and His love displayed, a divine transaction where Christ bore our sin so that we might become the righteousness of God. Burrows highlights the danger of becoming too familiar with the story of the cross, urging believers to look again and see God’s power and grace at work. The message emphasises reconciliation, transformation, and the call of the church to share the gospel and live as ministers of reconciliation. The cross is not only our hope of eternal life but also the ongoing power of God at work in His people today.

Called To Live
In Called to Live, Pastor Cathal Duffy marks the turning point in Ephesians, where Paul shifts from theology to practicality — from creed to conduct. Drawing from Ephesians 4:1-6, Cathal emphasises living a life worthy of God’s calling: a life rooted in grace, shaped by humility, gentleness, and patience, and expressed in unity. The sermon explores how believers are called from death to life, saved by grace, and empowered by the Spirit to bear with one another in love. Highlighting Paul’s exhortation to Christian unity, sourced in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, it reminds us that at the foot of the cross we stand together on level ground.

The Covenant
In this sermon, The Covenant, David Mulligan explores Genesis 12–22 to reveal the depth of God’s promises to Abraham and their fulfilment through Isaac. From Abraham and Sarah’s attempts to bring about God’s promises in their own strength, to the miraculous birth of Isaac as the true child of the covenant, the message highlights God as the provider and sustainer. Mulligan points to Isaac carrying the wood for sacrifice as a foreshadowing of Christ carrying the cross, showing how submission, love, and faith are central to God’s covenant relationship. The sermon calls believers to trust in God’s timing, rest in His promises, and live in the joy, peace, and revelation that His covenant love brings.
