    Unexpected Journeys
    2026/01/04
    In this sermon, Unexpected Journeys: Seeking the King in Unexpected Places, Pastor Cathal Duffy reflects on the story of the Magi in Matthew 2:1-12, reminding listeners that God often reveals Himself through unexpected people and in surprising ways.

    Drawing on the meaning of Epiphany, he highlights how the Gospel of Matthew — though deeply Jewish in focus — opens with Gentiles being drawn to Christ. Through the Magi’s search, their costly gifts, and their worship, we see the call for all nations to seek and honour the true King.

    Pastor Cathal challenges believers to respond like the wise men — with devotion, humility, and action — rather than with indifference or pretence like Herod or the religious leaders. He urges the church to expect God’s grace in unlikely places, to recognise that faith is not head-knowledge but a heartfelt journey, and to rediscover the wonder of Christ’s coming as we step into a new year.

    Tidings of Great Joy
    2025/12/21
    In this heartfelt Christmas message, Tidings of Great Joy, Jim Duffy explores Luke 2:8–20, reflecting on the humble yet world-changing birth of Jesus. The message reveals how God chose ordinary shepherds — men of humility and faith — to first receive the greatest news ever told.

    Duffy highlights how the angels’ message, “Fear not,” speaks to us today: before God instructs, He always assures. The shepherds’ obedience, Mary’s quiet reflection, and the angels’ song of peace all point to one truth — Jesus remains the centre of our joy and hope.

    Through this timeless passage, Jim calls listeners to respond in faith, reflect deeply on God’s love, and share the good news that the Saviour still speaks peace to fearful hearts and transforms ordinary lives through extraordinary grace.

  • The Name Above All Names

    The Name Above All Names
    2025/12/14
    In this powerful sermon, The Name Above All Names, Pastor Cathal Duffy unpacks John 1:1–18, one of the most profound passages in Scripture. He shows how John’s Gospel opens like a divine symphony, proclaiming Jesus as the eternal Word who was with God and was God — the source of all creation and life itself.

    Pastor Cathal draws connections between Genesis 1 and John 1, emphasising that everything came into being through Jesus, the Word who brings light into darkness. In contrast to the false promise of enlightenment in Genesis 3, Christ’s coming brings true illumination, life, and victory over sin and death.

    At Christmas, we celebrate this miracle: “The Son of God became man to enable men to become sons of God.” Pastor Cathal reminds us that to see Jesus is to see the Father — the perfect revelation of divine grace and truth. Through His incarnation and sacrifice, God’s love is made visible, offering every believer new life as a child of God.

  • The Second Advent

    The Second Advent
    2025/12/07
    .In this compelling sermon, The Second Advent, Mark Horgan examines the biblical promise of Christ’s return through passages from 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation 3. Drawing from Paul’s letters and Old Testament prophecy, Horgan reminds believers that the hope of the Second Coming should shape how we live today. He unpacks key end-times themes — including the rapture, resurrection, and the believer’s transformation — showing that Christ’s victory ensures both spiritual and physical renewal for His people.

    The sermon explores prophetic connections from Daniel, Jeremiah, and Revelation, offering clarity on differing tribulation views while encouraging believers to remain steadfast in faith and holy expectation. Emphasising the Bema Seat Judgment and heavenly rewards, Mark calls Christians to live purposefully, holding firm to the truth that “we will be like Him” and that a glorious future awaits all who trust in Jesus.

  • The Priest's Garments

    The Priest's Garments
    2025/11/30
    In The Priest’s Garments, David Mulligan brings the church into a powerful exploration of Exodus 28, showing how every detail of the high priest’s garments points prophetically to Jesus — our eternal High Priest — and to the life He calls us to live in these end times.

    Drawing from Matthew 22:36–40, David begins with Jesus’ command to love God and love our neighbour, contrasting this with the world’s message of self-love that collapses into judgement, anxiety, and self-condemnation when life breaks down. True love flows only from the Father — we must go back to the well of His love so we can pour it out on others.

    The heart of the message focuses on the fine linen, a picture of Christ’s righteousness woven through sacrifice, purity, and endurance. David explains how linen is formed — hammered fibres intertwined into a strong, breathable thread — mirroring Jesus’ suffering and perfect obedience on the cross. Linen is cool under pressure, protective in heat, and durable when unmixed. In the same way, Christ’s righteousness strengthens, shelters, and steadies believers, but becomes weakened when mixed with our own attempts at self-righteousness. We are made righteous entirely by Him.

    David also explores the breastplate stones of Exodus 28 — sardius (faith and protection), topaz (wisdom), carbuncle (guidance), emerald (divine favour) — each carrying spiritual meaning. These stones rest close to the heart of the High Priest, foreshadowing Jesus carrying His people, His gifts, and His calling over His heart continually.

    The message also highlights the gold setting (purity, unchanging nature of God), the one-piece garment (beginning and ending with Jesus), and the pomegranates and bells (fruitfulness and the ongoing work of Christ’s death covering our failures). Healing, David reminds us, is found in Christ Himself — not in our perfection — and it is available now.

    The sermon closes with a call to receive the unconditional love of Jesus, to wear His righteousness daily, and to ask the Holy Spirit to silence distractions so we can walk in wisdom, love, and holiness from glory to glory.

    Impossible to Hold Down
    2025/11/18
    In this powerful sermon on Acts 2, PJ Sexton traces the journey from the resurrection of Jesus to the birth of the early church at Pentecost. Drawing on Peter’s preaching, he shows how Jesus’ death and resurrection fulfilled prophecy and proved that it was impossible for death to keep its hold on Him. PJ contrasts King David with King Jesus, emphasising Christ as the true prophet, priest, and king who conquered sin and now reigns at the right hand of God.

    PJ then unpacks the life of the early believers in Acts 2:42-47, highlighting the four pillars that shaped the church — teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. He warns how the enemy attacks these foundations through false teaching and disunity, and explains the depth of koinonia — a shared life, a blood-bought unity created by Christ Himself. With practical insight and heartfelt challenge, he calls the church to genuine fellowship, spiritual devotion, and to walk in the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead.

    Turn Around
    2025/11/09
    In “Turn Around”, Pastor Cathal Duffy explores Hosea 14:1-9, where God lovingly calls His people to return to Him. The message centres on repentance — the spiritual U-turn that brings believers home to God’s mercy and restoration. Drawing parallels to the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, Pastor Cathal highlights how life with God is infinitely better than life apart from Him.

    Through vivid imagery of renewal and growth, Hosea paints a picture of God’s steadfast love: He heals our waywardness, forgives freely, and restores our fruitfulness when we dwell under His shadow. The sermon reminds listeners that repentance is not a one-time act but a way of life, and that God’s grace both accepts us as we are and transforms us into who we’re meant to be.
