Supernatural Encounters 01.07.2026 42min

Every conversion is a supernatural event, but some conversions are accompanied by specific supernatural phenomena. The conversion of Cornelius the Centurion in Acts 10 is one of those. We see Cornelius having visions and seeing angels, and Peter the apostle falling into a trance and receiving divine instructions on how to reach Cornelius with the gospel. This story challenges our prejudices about people different from us and also about how God works in His world. The big question is: is God doing anything like this today? As well as commenting on Acts 10, David shares supernatural stories from the Middle East and from England that demonstrate that God is still moving in supernatural ways to encounter ordinary people with His loving presence.

Kingdom Of Heaven Light 14.06.2026 34min

In Matthew 4:12-17, 23-25 we see a prophecy from Isaiah 9 fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus. Isaiah promised light would shine over a region that was living in darkness and under the shadow of death. We can have darkness over our land and lives, too. Only the light of Jesus can dispel that. But we as Christians are also called 'the light of the world'. This passage shows how Jesus shone the 'Kingdom Of Heaven Light' and how we can do the same. Learn how to shine the rays of the Kingdom light. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

Breath Of Heaven 31.05.2026 47min

What's in a name? Specifically, the personal name of God that He revealed to Moses? In this teaching, David explores the name of God, the linguistic and spiritual links with 'breath', and how this understanding reflects God's nearness to us and His existence in which 'we live, move, and have our being'. This insight has been shaping how David practices the presence of God. May you, too, experience a greater sense of the proximity of the God who is the breath of life through this truth. He is not far from any one of us! This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

When Jesus Passes By 15.05.2026 34min

Sometimes the presence of Jesus comes strangely near. Of course, God's presence is everywhere, but there are times we experience a sense of the proximity of His presence. Jesus passed blind Bartimaeus’ way. The beggar cried out for mercy, and Jesus healed him. In this teaching from Luke 18:35-43, we learn how God responds to faith and the importance of persistence in asking God for what we need.

The Decline-Renewal Cycle 01.05.2026 23min

Throughout the history of Israel and the Church, there has been the recurring 'Decline-Renewal Cycle'. Periods of decline, followed by renewal and revival. It was apparent in the period of the Judges, the Prophets, the Seven Churches of Revelation 2-3, and throughout Church history. What stage are we at now in the West? Is it the same all over the world? Can we hope for a time of renewal soon here in our nation? Listen to this encouraging message from Acts 3:19 as David charts Biblical, church history, and current global trends to give us hope that God is indeed moving today.

The Healing of Heaven Here 15.04.2026 36min

God's desire has always been to dwell with people. This will be fully realised in Heaven, as will complete healing through the river and tree of life, which we read about in Revelation 20:1-4; 21:1-5. Jesus came to demonstrate the Kingdom of Heaven when He walked among us. The Apostles and early followers of Jesus also saw this kingdom of power in their lives. While we await heaven and complete healing in a future age, the Bible record shows that we can know a down-payment of what is ahead in the here and now through the Spirit's work - 'The Healing Of Heaven Here'!

Seeing The Unseen 14.03.2026 32min

The unseen nature of God might make it hard for us, as physical and visual beings, to relate to Him - but He is the objective real. By faith, we must use the eyes of our hearts to see the unseen. We must seek Him in this seen and unseen realm to apprehend Him. He desires to be wanted by us. In 'Seeing The Unseen', from 'Matthew 6:6', we learn the importance of imagination and how theology alone, though important, is no substitute for personal knowledge and experience of God.

To Believe, Or Not Believe: That Is The Question 28.02.2026 37min

Doubt and unbelief are not the same. Doubt can be a struggle to faith or in faith, but unbelief is a decision not to believe. Thomas, perhaps, seems to have struggled with both. This may likely have been out of a fear of being devastated by disappointment again. His hopes were dashed when Jesus died. He needed to know if this resurrection business was true. In 'To Believe, Or Not Believe: That Is The Question', David explores how doubt is not necessarily a problem, but can be a conversation-starter with God that may lead to the miraculous.

One Thing I Know 14.02.2026 36min

Chapter 9 of John's Gospel is filled with so many questions. A man who was born blind is healed on the Sabbath by Jesus and a furore of religious questions and debate erupts. In 'One Thing I Know', we explore the contrast between mere religious knowledge and the pride that can result; and the seeming lack of knowledge of the healed man, yet his authentic experience with the power of God through his healing. Let us not simply seek information, lacking revelation and transformation. Even if we don't have all the information, transformation is more desirable.

The Ultimate Secret To Overcoming Sin 31.01.2026 40min

All of us struggle with temptation and sin, if we're honest. One of the main reasons for this is that it can be so pleasurable. We were wired for pleasure - so that makes it even harder to resist. However, once we discover that God created pleasure so we could have our greatest pleasure in Him, a shift can take place in our understanding and experience. The only way to eclipse our most dominant sinful attractions is to become overwhelmed by a greater attraction - the beauty of the Lord! If you have tried everything to overcome temptation but cannot - here is a message for you: 'The Ultimate Secret To Overcoming Sin' found in Matthew 17:1-8 and 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.

Fools For Christ 15.01.2026 30min

We should not be idiots for the sake of it! The church has had enough bad press over the years. But in 2 Corinthians 5:13-15 we are called to be 'Fools For Christ'. To die to reputation and other's opinion of us. This message is a call to arms, like Christian soldiers, to count the cost and join the battle. We will be a fool for something - will it be the love of God? Or are we fools for the love of self or this world? This is a challenging message that calls us back to the claims of Christ upon our lives. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

Getting God Wrong 31.12.2025 28min

A.W. Tozer said the most important thing about us is what we think of when we think about God. Many Christians have a wrong concept of what God is like and how He is toward them and all sinners. In this message from the heart, David expresses how near God is to each and every one of us and how His heart is one of love toward us and not judgement. Be encouraged that God is not far from you and is FOR you! This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

The God Who Is And Is Love 30.11.2025 28min

In this informative and topical message David explains the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16, and shows how God is real and more people in the West are opening to His reality. He also shows how God is a God of love who is at pains to communicate His great love to the whole world. This is a cultural moment when so many people are hopeless - the greatest hope is in this Good News - 'The God Who Is And Is Love'.

The Wind Of The Spirit 15.11.2025 34min

This message on John 3:1-8 on 'The Wind of the Spirit' was preached on Pentecost Sunday. David explores the image of the Spirit being like wind and breath and how that impacts our lives. The need to be 'born again of the Spirit' and be 'filled with the Spirit' of God. The Christian message is about God's breath living in us, possessing us so that we can live His life.

Saul's Suddenly 01.11.2025 42min

Here is a fresh perspective on probably the most famous conversion of them all, recorded in Acts 9:1-19, Saul of Tarsus. This was a man who had an experience of religion, but needed a personal experience with God - and we all need this! We need to have an ongoing experience of encounters with the Lord. This is how Saul's started - but though it was sudden, it was the beginning of a life-long journey. There's also an interesting healing that takes place, when Saul receives his sight again through the hands of an ordinary disciple named Ananias. Join us for some wonderful lessons here on God's kingdom! This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

The Stiller Of Storms 15.10.2025 43min

The Lord Jesus Christ is the man of miracles, and 'The Stiller Of Storms'. Here in Mark 4:35-41 we see one of four significant miracles that demonstrate His power. Here the force of nature; a devil-inspired storm is tamed and defeated by a word from God's Son. However, prior to the miracle the disciples were doubting and wondering if Jesus cared. Life's storms can cause us to doubt God's goodness toward us. This is what Satan wants, but even in the most diabolical storms God can reveal His love and power to His children.

The God Of Rescue 30.09.2025 36min

We believe David penned Psalm 34 as he reflected upon his flight from King Saul. He was filled with fear and had made mistakes to try to get out of the situation. But even in his error, when he cried to God, he was heard and delivered by the God of rescue. Listen to this message and be encouraged that what David needed freedom from is often what we face: fears, shame and troubles - and we can get the freedom the same way he did - through seeking 'The God Of Rescue' and looking to Him.

When The Kingdom Comes 12.09.2025 39min

Jesus came to bring the Kingdom of God – God's rule and reign. It did not come as everyone expected. People had to change their mind (repent) and believe in Jesus the King. In this panoramic look at the acts of Jesus after He announced the Kingdom we see the nature of His Kingdom and what happens 'When The Kingdom Comes' among us. As you listen, expect God's Kingdom to invade your life. Allow Him to change your thinking and embrace His Lordship in your heart.

The Power Of The Word Of Christ 31.08.2025 35min

In 'The Power Of The Word Of Christ' from Matthew 8:1-13, 16-17, 23-34, we are taught how powerful Christ's word is in saving, healing, and delivering. Psalm 107:20 says, 'He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions'. Listen and be encouraged to trust Christ's word to transform your difficult situations. This is a message to uplift your heart! This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

Overwhelmed 15.08.2025 36min

'Overwhelmed' is how many would describe how they feel right now, especially Gen Z. In the Bible, David revealed that's how he once felt. Many Bible characters like Jonah, Elijah, and Jeremiah despaired of their lives. Even Jesus said, 'My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death' in Matthew 26:38. If you feel overwhelmed, you are in good company. Learn from David's strategy for overcoming overwhelming here in Psalm 61.
