Zechariah 8Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 8th November 2026Passage: Zechariah 8:1-23-------------------Today's sermon is in Zechariah 8.

Zechariah 7Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 1st November 2026Passage: Zechariah 7:1-14-------------------In Zechariah 7 we see a question posed concerning fasting and mourning. Should we continue this ongoing religious practice, or should we not? God's answer is that this is the wrong question. Far more important than our practices and rituals is the orientation of our hearts towards Him. In today's message we see how this question connects to the modern church and her practices.

Zechariah 6:9-15Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 25th October 2026Passage: Zechariah 6:9-15-------------------In Zechariah 6:9–15, we explore the prophecy of the Branch, the coming King and Priest who will build the temple of the Lord. We discover how this remarkable passage points to Jesus, His future reign, and God’s faithful plan to bring His purposes to completion.

Zechariah 6:1-8Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 18th October 2026Passage: Zechariah 6:1-8-------------------What do the bronze mountains and four chariots reveal about God’s judgment and His plans for Jerusalem? In today’s sermon on Zechariah 6, we explore God’s holiness, sovereignty and the events leading up to the peace of the millennial kingdom. As we consider God’s coming judgment and His promise of restoration, we’re reminded of the most important question: are we trusting in the salvation Jesus Christ offers?

PhilemonSeries: PhilemonTeacher: Malcolm JarrettSunday MorningDate: 11th October 2026Passage: Philemon 1-25-------------------Malcolm takes us through the short letter Paul wrote to Philemon, urging him to be reconciled to his runaway slave Onesimus. Paul appeals to grace as the basis for this. Ultimately, this message challenges us to examine their own lives through three questions: are we like Onesimus, needing to put a past wrong right; are we like Philemon, needing to view others through the lens of grace rather than their past; or do we truly understand that we were all once spiritually bankrupt until Christ paid our debt?

Zechariah 5:5-11Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 4th October 2026Passage: Zechariah 5:5-11-------------------In today's message we look at Zechariah's vision of the woman in the ephah, who is explicitly called "wickedness." To understand this we survey the city of Babylon, from its founding under Nimrod in Genesis 10, its prophesied demise in Jeremiah 50-51, the capture without a battle in Daniel 5, right through to the eventual ruination described in Revelation 17-18. Through all this, we see God always has the measure of wickedness. He will deal with all wickedness in the end, even that found in the most powerful nations in the world.

Zechariah 5:1-4Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 27th September 2026Passage: Zechariah 5:1-4-------------------Zechariah’s sixth vision of the flying scroll presents a sobering picture of the urgency of salvation and reminds us that God’s Word is authoritative, timeless, eternal and complete—nothing can be added or taken away. For the believer, there is security in Christ’s finished work; for the unbeliever, an urgent call to repent from sin and seek salvation before judgment comes. Is God’s Word written on your heart, or merely gathering dust on a shelf?

Zechariah 4Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 20th September 2026Passage: Zechariah 4:1-14-------------------In Zechariah 4 we are looking at the fifth vision which features a lampstand. Unlike the huge Temple menorah which required constant attention to keep it lit, this heavenly menorah is sustained by two olive trees and pipes. In our message today, Ray shows us how this was encouragement to Zerubbabel in his day, and today it points us to Christ, Who is the true light of the world.

Zechariah 3Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 13th September 2026Passage: Zechariah 3:1-10-------------------Zechariah 3’s powerful 4th vision gives us a picture of God’s grace, the security of the believer, and His unbreakable covenant with Israel. Joshua’s filthy garments are replaced with festal robes, illustrating both the removal of our sin and the imputation of Christ’s righteousness. Israel’s failure has not cancelled God’s promises—His covenant remains intact and His calling irrevocable. Through Joshua and the coming “Branch,” we see the certainty of salvation, Israel’s future restoration, and the day when God’s people will dwell in holiness, peace, and harmony.

Zechariah 2Series: ZechariahTeacher: Ray KellySunday MorningDate: 6th September 2026Passage: Zechariah 2:1-13-------------------The vision in Zechariah 2 reveals a God who never forgets His promises. His unwavering commitment to Jerusalem, together with the hidden linguistic details of His presence in Esther, reveals the meticulous faithfulness of a covenant-keeping God. What He promised to Israel, He will fulfil. And if He is faithful to His promises concerning Israel, we can have complete confidence that His promises of salvation are equally secure. He is the First and the Last, and He will never fail. How are we responding to His faithfulness?
