Church gatherings inspire — but homes shape.

In week two of our Contend series, we explore what it means to fight for what matters most: the spiritual health of our homes.

Because the spiritual temperature of a church is often set by the spiritual health of its homes.

📖 Key Scriptures:
Deuteronomy 6:4–9
Joshua 24:15
Psalm 127:1
Ephesians 5:25

In this message we look at:

• Contending for strong, grace-filled marriages

• Raising children who see faith lived out daily

• The power of hospitality and opening our homes

• How small, consistent spiritual rhythms shape generations

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about intentionality.
It’s about choosing to build what lasts.

“As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” — Joshua 24:15

Whether you’re married, single, parenting, hoping to parent, or navigating a new season — God cares deeply about your home and wants to strengthen it.

Before we contend for our homes, our relationships, or our town — we must contend for what’s happening inside us.In this message, Contend for the Heart, we explore what it means to guard our inner life and pursue holiness — not as religious performance, but as Spirit-led transformation from the inside out.📖 Key Scriptures:Proverbs 4:23Romans 12:1–21 Peter 1:15–16Ezekiel 36:26–27God is not just calling us to behave differently — He is calling us to become different.To allow Him to renew our desires, realign our affections, and give us a new heart.This message is for anyone who:Feels spiritually distracted or dulledWants deeper intimacy with GodIs longing for real transformation, not surface changeKnows there is “more” but isn’t sure where to beginHoliness is not restriction — it is freedom.And the Holy Spirit is the one who does the deep work.If this message encouraged you, like, comment, and share with someone who needs it.📍 Heart Church, MorecambeSundays | 10:30am#Contend #GuardYourHeart #Holiness #SpiritualGrowth #HeartChurch

Spiritual drift is real — but panic isn’t the answer.
In the book of Jude, God doesn’t just warn the church, He equips them.

In this message, Build Yourselves Up, we explore Jude 1:17–23 and discover God’s invitation to intentionally strengthen our faith through truth, prayer, and remaining rooted in His love.

📖 Key passage: Jude 1:17–23

In this message you’ll hear about:

• Why awareness alone isn’t enough for spiritual growth

• The call to take responsibility for our own spiritual formation

• What it means to build ourselves up in the most holy faith

• Praying in the Holy Spirit as dependence and alignment

• How strong faith leads us outward in mercy and mission

💬 “Strong faith doesn’t happen accidentally — it’s built daily.”

This message is especially timely as we step into a week of prayer and fasting, choosing to grow deeper rather than drift.

Drift never announces itself.No one plans to walk away from God — it happens quietly, subtly, over time.In this message from our series in the book of Jude, we explore a sobering but hope-filled warning to believers: those who have genuinely experienced God’s salvation can still drift if faith is not guarded intentionally.📖 Key passage: Jude 1:4–16In this message you’ll hear about:Why spiritual drift often begins internally before it shows externallyHow past encounters don’t guarantee present faithfulnessThe danger of distorted grace and quiet compromiseWhy drift affects not just individuals, but the whole churchHow awareness is not condemnation — it’s graceJude doesn’t write to shame the church, but to wake them up and call them back to contending for the faith.💬 “Drift is real — but awareness is grace.”This message is for anyone who:Feels spiritually distracted or off-centreWants to guard their faith in a noisy, compromised cultureIs longing to realign their heart with God🔔 Subscribe for more messages from Heart Church👍 Rate & share to encourage someone else

In the final message of our Christmas series The God Who Comes Close, Ps Dan explores one of the most challenging truths of the Christmas story: there was no room at the inn.Many people aren’t rejecting Jesus — they’re just busy, distracted, and full. From Luke 2 and Matthew 2, this message invites us to slow down, clear space, and allow Jesus to reorder our priorities, our worship, and our direction.In this message we explore:• Why crowded hearts often miss divine moments• How worship requires surrender and costly obedience• Why real encounters with Jesus always change our direction• What it looks like to make room for the King in everyday lifeThis is a timely and honest invitation to pause, reflect, and respond — not just at Christmas, but as a way of life.📖 Primary Scriptures:Luke 2:1–7Matthew 2:1–12🎄 Series: The God Who Comes Close📍 Heart Church, MorecambeIf this message encourages you:👍 Like the podcast💬 Leave a comment📲 Share it with someone who needs space and hope this Christmas🔔 Subscribe for weekly teaching🎧 Also available on the Heart Church PodcastThis Christmas, make room for the King.

At Christmas, we sing about peace — but many of us still feel weary, anxious, or stretched thin.

In this Christmas Carol message, Dan explores the powerful truth behind Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and the angelic announcement:
“Peace on earth… God and sinners reconciled.”

Drawing on a personal story from the early days of marriage, real-life illustrations, and the Christmas story from Luke 2, this message reminds us that peace isn’t something we have to chase — peace came looking for us.

Jesus didn’t come to shout instructions from heaven.
He came close.
He stepped into our mess.
He stood in the gap.
And He offers forgiveness, reconciliation, and new life to all who receive Him.

Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for fresh hope this Christmas, this message invites you to discover that peace has a name — and His name is Jesus.
