Joshua 9 is one of the most surprising and challenging chapters in the Old Testament.

The Gibeonites deceive Israel. Joshua fails to seek the Lord. The supposed “good guys” make serious mistakes, while the “bad guys” show unexpected signs of faith. By the end of the story, the questions seem greater than the answers. Yet beneath the complexity of the passage, we discover a powerful truth: God remains faithful even when His people are not.

In this sermon, we explore:

• Why imperfect faith still has saving power

• How faith—not ethnicity, status, or performance—brings us under God’s protection

• Why Christians should stop obsessing over the strength of their faith and start looking to Jesus

• The surprising story of the Gibeonites and their place among God’s people

• How Joshua 9 ultimately points us to Christ, the true and faithful Joshua

Whether you feel like an outsider, struggle with doubts, or feel discouraged by the weakness of your faith, this message is a reminder that our hope is not found in the perfection of our faith but in the faithfulness of our God.

“The question is not whether you have perfect faith. The question is whether your faith is in a perfect Saviour.”

This sermon from Joshua 8 centres on renewal, grace, and perseverance in the Christian journey. Drawing on Joshua’s story, Charles emphasises that failure and sin are not endpoints, but invitations to receive God’s grace, stand up again, and move forward empowered by His Word. The passage invites believers to embrace dependence on God, be vigilant against temptation, and embody the diverse yet unified community of faith—the “temple of uncut stones.” Ultimately, the story points forward to Jesus, the supreme leader and fulfiller of God’s promises, who took humanity’s curse upon Himself so that believers might inherit blessing and righteousness.

This passage in Mark invites us to embrace the transformative power of Jesus’ forgiveness, which is freely offered but costly to God. It challenges cultural discomfort with the concept of sin by presenting forgiveness as the key to true freedom and new life in Christ. The passage urges a bold response of faith, encouraging all to experience the relief of being released from guilt and to walk forward in the joy of forgiveness and restoration.

In this sermon, Tom shares a powerful picture of Jesus—gentle, patient, and committed to true justice. His way isn’t harsh or legalistic, but rooted in truth, mercy, and compassion. We’re also challenged to follow His example by caring for those who are hurting, overlooked, or struggling—the “bruised reeds” and “faint wicks.”

In this sermon on Joshua 5, Andy draws out profound spiritual lessons which are embedded in Israel’s preparation for battle against Jericho. The three key scenes of circumcision, Passover, and meeting the commander of the Lord’s army offer a framework for believers to prepare for spiritual battles by embracing weakness, remembering grace, and submitting fully to God’s will. These themes culminate in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who conquered sin and death through the cross, inviting believers into His victory by living in humble dependence and obedience to God.

In this sermon, Daniel encourages believers to embrace generosity as a joyful spiritual discipline rooted in the gospel. He reminds us that cheerful giving is presented not as a burdensome duty but as a privilege and source of blessing—both for the giver and for the mission of God. Ultimately, generosity flows from the recognition of the supreme gift of Jesus Christ and invites believers into a deeper experience of God’s grace, provision, and kingdom work.

In this sermon Daniel calls believers to reject fleshly self-reliance and embrace the Holy Spirit fully as the source of life, power, and success. He reminds us that walking in the Spirit is essential for overcoming spiritual battles, growing as a community, and fulfilling God’s mission in London and the nations. The Holy Spirit is not an optional extra but the very breath, water, and fire of the Christian life.

In this sermon, we explore the powerful moment when the Israelites crossed the River Jordan into the Promised Land. After God miraculously stopped the waters, He didn’t immediately give battle strategies for Jericho — instead, He commanded them to build a memorial of twelve stones. Why? Because before facing future battles, they needed to remember God’s past faithfulness. This sermon unpacks the importance of “memorial stones” — reminders of God’s power, provision, and promises. Just as the Israelites needed reminders, we too need to remember what God has done in our lives. Forgetting weakens faith, but remembering fuels courage.
