    The World Turned Upside Down Pt.3 // The Name - George Benson // Acts 19:1-22

    This sermon from Acts 19 explores how Christians are uniquely empowered to face darkness, temptation, and spiritual opposition through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Paul’s ministry in Ephesus, it contrasts genuine spiritual power with empty religion, showing that true transformation comes not from formulas, rituals, or self-effort, but from a real encounter with Jesus Christ. The message encourages believers to seek God’s power, walk in the authority of His name, and resist the lies that keep them in bondage. Ultimately, it points to the cross as the greatest display of God’s power, where Jesus defeated sin, death, and the devil, inviting us to worship Him, trust Him, and experience the freedom only He can give._____________We are a Church in Brighton that exists to help people know Jesus.

    Otherside Pt.3 // Sacrifice - Tim Jones // Exodus 29v35-46

    This sermon concludes the Tabernacle series by revealing how every detail ultimately points to Jesus Christ. Through the priests, sacrifices, altar, and holy place, we see God's plan to bring sinful people into His presence - not through repeated rituals, but through the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ. Jesus is our perfect Priest, Sacrifice, and Mediator, who has secured our forgiveness and made a way for us to draw near to God with confidence. The message reminds believers that while we are still being transformed, we are already made complete in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God's people. Above all, it declares that God's greatest purpose is not simply to rescue us from something, but to dwell with us, inviting us to enjoy His presence and walk daily in the freedom, grace, and assurance of His love._____________We are a Church in Brighton that exists to help people know Jesus.

    Otherside Pt.3 // Worship - Tobi Ford-Western // Exodus 27:20-21
    This sermon explores the holiness of God through the symbolism of the tabernacle and the bronze altar in Exodus. It highlights that God must be approached on His terms, not ours, and that His commands are given not to restrict us, but to draw us safely into His presence. The message points to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of every sacrifice, altar, and ceremony in the Old Testament - the perfect Lamb of God who took our place on the cross so that sinners could be forgiven and welcomed into God’s family. Through Christ, we no longer rely on rituals or sacrifices, but have direct access to God’s presence, grace, and transforming love.

    Otherside Pt.3 // Presence - Matt Carvel // Exodus 26:31-35
    This sermon explores God’s desire not only to be known about, but to be personally experienced through His presence and power. Looking at the tabernacle, Pentecost, and the work of the Holy Spirit, it highlights how God’s glory once filled the tabernacle and temple, but now dwells within His people through Jesus Christ. The message encourages believers not to settle for distant faith or routine religion, but to continually seek God, expect His presence, and pursue a deeper relationship with Him - asking, like Moses, “Lord, show me Your glory.”

    Otherside Pt.3 // Eden - George Benson // Exodus 26:30-37
    This sermon explores how the tabernacle in Exodus points back to the Garden of Eden and forward to the hope of eternal life with God. It reveals humanity’s deep longing for “home” - a longing ultimately fulfilled not in success, comfort, or relationships, but in Jesus Christ. The message shows how God’s desire has always been to dwell with His people, and how Jesus came to bring us back into relationship with Him through the cross. Even in a restless and broken world, believers are reminded that true rest, purpose, and belonging are found in Christ alone, who promises to be with us now and bring us home forever.

    Otherwise Pt.3 // Offerings - Tim Jones // Exodus 25:1-9
    This sermon from Exodus 25 reveals God’s deep desire not just for worship, but for relationship - His longing to dwell among His people. Through the tabernacle, we see a powerful picture ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who came to “tabernacle” among us and bring us into fullness of life. The message challenges us to move beyond empty religion or duty and instead respond to God’s grace with hearts stirred by love, generosity, and joyful surrender. Because God has given everything for us in Christ, we are invited to offer our time, gifts, resources, and whole lives back to Him - not out of obligation, but as a wholehearted response to the God who first gave all.

    Inspire Sunday // Fear of The Lord - Tobi Ford-Western
    This sermon explores the true meaning of the fear of the Lord, showing that it is not a fear that drives us away from God, but one that draws us closer in awe, wonder, and joy. Through the story of Jesus calming the storm, it highlights how encountering God’s power and mercy leads to a deeper reverence that replaces all other fears. The message explains that when we grasp the magnitude of Jesus’ love - especially through the cross - we experience a “terrifying joy” that frees us from anxiety and brings lasting peace, calling us to trust, worship, and stand in awe of Him.

    The King // The Return of The King - Tim Jones // Matthew 24:36-44
    This message focuses on the return of Jesus as the coming King, drawing from Matthew 24 and reminding us that while no one knows the day or hour, we are called to live ready, awake, and full of faith. The sermon highlights that Jesus’ story is not complete without His return - when He will bring judgment, restoration, and eternal life to those who trust in Him. It encourages believers to fix their hope on His coming, live faithfully in the present, and find confidence in Christ’s finished work, knowing He is both a loving Saviour and the righteous King who is coming again.

    The King // Matt Carvel - The Vindication of The King // Matthew 28:1-10
    This Easter message celebrates Jesus as the true King revealed in the Gospel of Matthew - misunderstood, rejected, crucified, yet ultimately victorious through His resurrection. The sermon highlights how Jesus is not a king like the world expects, but one with ultimate authority over sin and death, who brings real freedom, peace, and forgiveness. Through His death and resurrection, He invites us into a personal relationship with Him - offering grace instead of judgment and calling us to respond in faith, worship, and trust in the risen King.
