Sex is a gift from God that expresses and deepens the most profound human relationship - marking the spiritual union between a husband and wife. Anything that weakens or undermines God's design for sex threatens the integrity of marriage, and of the wider community that it is part of. In this sermon we examine Jesus' teaching on adultery and divorce. Only through the gospel can we experience The Explusive Power of a New Affection - a more beautiful and fulfilling vision than any human experience has to offer - sex or otherwise. Main Text Matthew 5:27-37   Preacher David Varney, pastor Foundation Church Belfast   Foundation Church Belfast Every Sunday 10:30am - Belmont Tower, Belfast, BT4 3LS We are part of the Advance Movement of churches and the wider Newfrontiers family.

Jesus deals with the problem of anger by pointing not only to the fruit of anger, but also the root. Anger arises in the deepest part of us - the heart - and from there it takes hold, producing all kinds of destructive fruits. Jesus gives us practical ways that we can work against anger by being deeply transformed by the gospel. In the gospel, the righteous anger of God against our unrighteous anger fell on Jesus in our place. Once we understand and absorb this truth, we are transformed with power to pull up our anger by the root and build a deep community together.   Main Text Matthew 5:21-26   Preacher David Varney, pastor Foundation Church Belfast   Foundation Church Belfast Every Sunday 10:30am - Belmont Tower, Belfast, BT4 3LS We are part of the Advance Movement of churches and the wider Newfrontiers family.

When we live Life Together as Jesus describes in the Beatitudes we shall live life together that changes the world. Jesus teaches that his disciples will be salt and light - exercising a restraining effect against evil (salt) and yet reflecting goodness and beauty to the world (light).

The Beatitudes are a collection of profound statements from Jesus to his disciples about how they can experience the kingdom of God together. Together they give us a glimpse of what kingdom life is like. But they take us further still, offering us an experience of that kingdom life as we grow as disciples of Jesus.

In this introductory sermon to the Life Together teaching series, we delve into the background of Jesus' ministry among the towns and villages of Galilee. He embarks on his mission to show and tell about the kingdom of God through  Teaching Proclamation Healing His impact is profound and far-reaching, and very quickly he draws vast crowds. However, from among the crowds, Jesus is looking for disciples: people who would come after him, attach themselves to him, and learn from him. Jesus continues this ministry through the church - his body on earth - and so there are significant practical applications for us as a local church in Belfast.

Hope is here: and it has real substance.  The Christian gospel is founded on more than a good idea, or nice thoughts.

Hope is essential to life. No one can live without hope. The Christian message says: Hope is Here! In this series we examine the reason for hope as seen in the writings of Luke in his gospel account. This first talk focuses on the first couple to hear that Hope is Here - the aging Zechariah and Elizabeth. They are told by an angelic messenger that God will give them a son in their twilight years - and he shall exercise a remarkable ministry in Israel. He shall prepare the people for God - 'Hope is Here' he will preach with power. If we are to have hope we must take the following four steps: Pursue Hope Understand Hope Believe Hope Celebrate Hope Main Text Luke 1:5-25 Preacher David Varney, pastor Foundation Church Belfast Foundation Church Belfast Every Sunday 10:30am - Belmont Tower, Belfast, BT4 3LS.
