Psalm 23 is often read at funerals, but David wrote it for the living. In this talk we walk through the psalm slowly and ask what it means to be led, guarded and carried when the road is hard.

The first line of the best-known psalm only means something if you know who the shepherd is. We look at what a shepherd actually does, and what that tells us about God.

]]> Psalm 23:1-3 Beginning with worship https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/beginning-with-worship/ https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/beginning-with-worship/ Thu, 10 Sep 2026 21:00:00 +0100 Maria SantosMaria Santos When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, he began with God rather than a list of requests. We look at "Father, hallowed be your name" and why it comes first.

The point is not that we should nag God, but that we can ask boldly because he is a good Father.

]]> Luke 11:5-13 Pray like this https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/pray-like-this/ https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/pray-like-this/ Thu, 27 Aug 2026 21:00:00 +0100 Maria SantosMaria Santos The Lord's Prayer is a pattern, not a script. This week we take it a line at a time and think about how to make it our own.

]]> John 1:1-18 Water into wine https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/water-into-wine/ https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/water-into-wine/ Thu, 13 Aug 2026 21:00:00 +0100 Tom EllisTom Ellis The first sign at Cana is about much more than a wedding that ran short of wine. It shows us what Jesus came to bring.

]]> John 2:1-11 Nicodemus at night https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/nicodemus-at-night/ https://sanctuary.themesbykyle.com/sermons/nicodemus-at-night/ Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:00:00 +0100 Sarah JenkinsSarah Jenkins "You must be born again."

We look at the comfort and the challenge in that picture.
