Luke 16:1-15 In this sermon, Phil Williams explores Jesus’ challenging parable of the dishonest manager and asks what it means to live with urgency, faithfulness, and generosity when eternity is real. Speaking into the realities of money, stewardship, and discipleship, the sermon calls us to examine who or what we truly serve and to use what God has entrusted to us for eternal good.
Luke 16:1-13 Jesus teaches that worldly possessions are temporary but our relationship with God and the people of his kingdom goes into eternity.
Money and anxieties often shape our life choices; we all aim to be financially well off or perhaps just to be secure. Jesus warns you and me that we could be financially well off but still be considered a fool by God. He also offers us good reasons why we can have security investing in what is eternal.
Nehemiah 5 What does the bible have to say about injustice? In particular, injustice when it is in the Church? We are to be marked, as people of God, by our justice and generosity— like Nehemiah was — which all stems from the fear of the Lord, we can therefore look forward to an even greater justice and generosity.
1 Timothy 6:3-21 As the new year approaches, we have a chance to think through what it is we want to achieve in 2020. Whilst many around us chase money and earthly possessions, Paul calls us to chase something dramatically different. Here he warns us of the dangers of the path chasing earthly treasures and the great promises reserved for those who chase godliness in Christ.
Luke 12:12-21 Fixation on possessions is a growing reality in the world around us. It accompanies a fixation on the self, the immediate and pleasure at the expense of others. Listen in as we see why Jesus warns us so strongly to be rich toward God.
Luke 7:18-35 Life can leave us feeling: ‘it isn’t supposed to be like this.’ In response, people turn to the next promotion, the next relationship, the next gadget or the next box set. Listen in as someone turns to Jesus and says: ‘is it really supposed to be like this?’

Revelation 20:11-15 All around us people are dying, every day. Half a million people in England and Wales die every year. What then? Is death the end? If not, what lies beyond the grave, and what do we need to do to get ready for it?
