Possessing the Promises

This inspirational prophetic message to the church is the last sermon by Pastors Dominic & Catherine De Souza in the capacity as Senior Leaders of One Church. We are reminded that God has spoken some amazing promises over us but that, though these are within our grasp, they won’t be fulfilled automatically. Learn how to take possession of the promises of God and to walk in the His very best, both personally and as a church.

Living Stones or Dead Weights?

God is building His Church with living stones; people. This message asks the question, are we fully surrendered in the hands of the master builder - are we in the place He wants and needs us to be in His Kingdom building programme?

Commands Into Promises

In this sermon, Dave Campbell - Regional Leader for the Metropolitan East Elim churches, of which One Church is a part - poses the question of how good are we at hearing the Father’s voice as sons and daughters.

The Heart of the Matter

Because He Lives

Without the resurrection of Jesus there is no salvation and there is no hope - but because He lives, we can truly live too, both now and forevermore. Discover why we can have confidence in the historicity of the biblical claims about Jesus rising from the dead and learn about the profound implications of the resurrection for each of us today.

A Divine Operation

Sometimes we forget that evangelism is not a human enterprise but a divine operation. In this message our guest speaker Mark Greenwood, the Elim National Evangelist, reminds us that evangelism is a God idea: as we do our bit God will do His. As we put aside our excuses we discover the most amazing thing: God goes with us wherever He sends us.

Continuing What Jesus Began

On the occasion of the second anniversary of One Church, this sermon goes back to the book of Acts and reminds us that God desires to do today all the things He did in the beginning!

This message highlights the power and authority that God has invested in His Church and shows us that the hope for any community lies in the body of believers in that community.

We Will Tell the Next Generation

It is almost incomprehensible that after the passionate, adventurous, faith-filled 'Joshua generation' died another generation rose up that did not know the Lord. This message explains how something so unthinkable could happen and shows the vital importance of passing on the baton of faith to the next generation. Not only will you learn how to parent for faith but you will discover that each of us, whether we have children or not, has a responsibility to preserve and transmit God's story for those that come after us.

The Significance of the Small Beginning

In our culture of instant gratification we often expect the glorious and the grand straight away, failing to recognise that God often has the habit of starting the great and big things through the seemingly ordinary and insignificant things. This inspirational New Year's Eve sermon - which contains a rhema word for One Church in 2018 - exhorts us to be faithful in the day of small things and shows us how to keep on going on the face of difficulties and opposition. You will gain a new perspective on your struggles and learn how to bless your day of small beginnings, thereby being positioned to walk in God's best this next year and beyond.

Who Is My Neighbour?

Although most people are familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan, all too often we’ve sanitised Jesus’ message in it, which results in us missing just how challenging the call to love our neighbour as ourselves is. The Good Samaritan isn’t a story about the kindness of strangers; it’s a radical redefinition of the word 'neighbour' and a picture of crossing divisions to love those who are different to us. This sermon challenges us to ask the questions “who is my neighbour?” and “how can I be a neighbour to them?”.

A Song in the Midnight

Do you know how to praise God in your midnight hour? Paul and Silas did; as they faced one of their darkest times, they chose not to complain but instead to pray and to praise - and they literally prayed and praised their way to deliverance! An atmosphere of praise - especially when created together with other believers - repels the enemy and attracts the presence of God. Be encouraged as you learn why and how to lift up your voice to God in the toughest times of life. Your song in the midnight shows what you really believe about God; it has the potential not only to set you free but others too!
