Emmanuel Sunday Talks

What a day we had this Spring 2026 as we gathered women from across our church (and friends from abroad and other churches in the area) to come together in beautiful sisterhood in Christ. In this seminar, Larissa shares with us about being Rooted in Holiness, and how sanctification IS something made possible through Jesus and the Spirit. We hope you enjoy this talk, be sure to check out the others from the day on being Rooted in Love, Rest, and Mission, and check out weareemmanuel.com/rooted for more resources, playlists (This talk has a specific playlist from the day that you can listen to for your own ministry time after listening), and to learn more about us as a church family.

This Spring Gift Campaign is all about strengthening our church. In this episode, Matt is joined by Kate Ball, who steadfastly leads our Buildings Team. This Spring we are praying and giving into the continued development of dream projects, as well as the less-glamourous maintenance and behind-the-scenes problem solving that goes on to empower and enable our ministries. The Lord has entrusted these houses of worship to us, and we want to see them thriving for his Glory! If you'd like to take part through giving, head to weareemmanuel.com/give.

This message explores Acts 17, where the Apostle Paul arrives in Athens and is deeply moved by a city full of idols. Instead of condemning people, Paul engages them with compassion, reasoning with their culture and pointing them to the truth of Jesus Christ. The sermon draws parallels between ancient Athens and modern cities like Brighton, showing how idols today can take the form of money, pleasure, success, or identity. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to respond as Paul urged - through repentance and faith in Jesus, who took our sin so we could experience forgiveness, freedom, and new life.

In this message from Acts 17, we explore Paul’s “missional masterclass” as he proclaims Jesus in Thessalonica and Berea, facing both revival and fierce opposition. This preach reminds us that every Christian is a missionary - whether called to go or to stay - sent by God to reach their city with the gospel. Through the example of the noble Bereans, we’re challenged to value biblical truth over personality and hype, and through Paul’s persecution, we’re reminded that spiritual pushback is real when God’s kingdom advances. Ultimately, the sermon points to Jesus - the greatest missionary of all - who came from heaven to earth, endured the cross, and rose again so we could have peace with God.

In this message, we explore how the gospel first reached Europe and what true faithfulness looks like in action. From Timothy’s willingness to sacrifice personal rights for the sake of Christ, to Paul’s deep dependence on the Holy Spirit’s leading, to Lydia’s generous hospitality that helped establish the church in Philippi, we see powerful examples of lives surrendered to Jesus. Above all, this sermon points us to the greater faithfulness of Christ - who gave everything for us - and challenges us to respond with courage, obedience, and generosity as we follow Him.
