Sunday 21st June - Dan Roach preaches from 1 Thessalonians 2:8. This sermon argues that “sharing is caring,” reframing evangelism as an act of love.

Sunday 14th June: Lydia Pavey preaches from Luke 5, which reframes evangelism as a collaborative, persistent act of love. By “carrying the mat” together and using our unique giftings, we can introduce others to Jesus, the only one who transforms broken and dislocated lives.

Sunday 7th June - Joe and Kez Greenhalgh preach from Acts 2:42-47. This sermon explores "loving people into community" by sharing friends to build "relational momentum". By creating outward-focused groups through shared hobbies and hospitality, the church family becomes a welcoming space where others experience God’s love and find belonging.

Sunday 31st May - Huw Hadden preaches from Colossians 4:2-6 about the power of prayer in evangelism. The sermon explores how believing in the sovereignty of God and the clear call for believers to pray, boosts our confidence in prayer. The 3 for 30 challenge was laid out to the church at the end!

Sunday 24th May – Guy Miller preaches from Matthew 13:1-23. This prophetic message envisions Grace Church as a garden with four growth areas: youth, leadership, ministry to the poor, and receiving from and going to the nations.
