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.

Spiritually Transformed Life
In this sermon, Spiritually Transformed Life, Pastor Cathal Duffy explores Ezekiel 37:1-14, where God breathes life into a valley of dry bones. This vision demonstrates that no situation is too hopeless for God’s Spirit, who resurrects, restores, and transforms His people. Drawing on the creation of Adam — first formed and then filled with breath — Cathal emphasised how breath, wind, and Spirit weave throughout scripture as symbols of God’s life-giving power. Though sin brings judgment, God’s love never ceases, and His Spirit transforms lifeless bones into living warriors of hope. With support from passages in Ezekiel 36, Ephesians 2, and John 5, the sermon urges believers to embrace supernatural renewal and live as Spirit-filled people of faith and purpose.

Giant Killers
In Giant Killers, Pastor Cathal Duffy unpacks the story of David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17, highlighting how fear, intimidation, and psychological warfare can paralyse God’s people. While Israel trembled, David saw things differently — through God’s perspective. He declared that the battle belonged to the Lord, faced Goliath with courage, and fought not with worldly weapons but clothed in God’s strength.Drawing on Ephesians 6 and Romans 8, Cathal challenges believers to renew their thinking, speak words of faith, and recognise that our real battles are spiritual, not just physical. David’s victory foreshadows Jesus’ ultimate triumph on the cross, reminding us that in Him, every giant can fall. This sermon encourages believers to see, hear, speak, and fight differently — with confidence in God’s authority and victory.

Relationship, Repentance, Reconciliation
In this sermon, Relationship, Repentance, Reconciliation, Pastor Clive Wilson explores Luke 15:11-24, highlighting the timeless message of the Prodigal Son. The story reveals the downward path of sin, self-pleasing, and rebellion, contrasted with the mercy and compassion of the Father whose arms are always open. Clive reminds listeners of the power of words (Proverbs 18:20-21), the reality of reaping what we sow, and the importance of prayer and intimacy with God. Drawing from biblical examples such as King David and the call to repentance in 1 John 1:9 and Romans 8:1, the sermon emphasizes that no matter how far we wander, there is always a road back to the Father. The message is one of hope, reconciliation, and restoration — pointing to God’s will for us to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus.

Transforming Love
In this Youth-hosted Sunday service, Pastor Cathal Duffy preached Transforming Love, unpacking Ephesians 3:14-21. Paul’s prayer reminds us that true strength comes not from ourselves but from God, who dwells in us through Christ by faith. Pastor Cathal reflected on how prayer is about intimacy with the Father, rooted in the sacrifice of Jesus, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. He shared the wisdom of the confederate soldier’s prayer, showing that God often answers in ways we don’t expect but always for our good. This message emphasises that God’s love is wider, deeper, and stronger than we can comprehend — a love that transforms our hearts, reconciles us to Him, and equips us to love others.
