God’s power is freely available to believers and He wants us to be agents of transformation. Damian uses the miraculous healing of the beggar outside the temple in Acts 3:1-16 to illustrate how simple is should be.
Damian talks about the Bible and the role it plays in the growth of a Christian. Looking a various scriptures he challenges us to make the Bible a bigger part of our daily lives.
Starting a new series on the values of the church, Damian recounts when Mary poured perfume over Jesus’ head from Matthew 26: 6-13 as an act of pure devotion and asks how devoted are we?
As we enter the new year, are you ready for a fresh start? Damian kicks off 2019 preaching on the vision had by Ezekiel (Chapter 47; verses 1 – 12) where he sees the River of God flow out from the temple. The river brings living water and there is no better place to be but the question is – are you prepared to go deeper?
A short talk from the Hope Christmas service where Damian has a fresh look at the story of The Three Wise Men visiting the infant Jesus. Our Father has given us the perfect gift, so what can we give in return?
The first sermon Pastor Damian preached to Hope Church was from Jeremiah 29: 4-7. Ten years on, he revisits this scripture to emphasise that as Christians our role in the world around us is as relevant now as it was in 2008; as it was back in the old testament and ever since.
It is not easy being a Christian in modern society where truth is distorted and speaking truth can be difficult. Damian uses a popular fable and John 18:37-38 to encourage the church to stand on God’s truth as our infallible plumb line.
Life can be tough and Christians are not exempt from the highs, lows and disappointments that come along. Damian mines scripture to illustrate how, sometimes we need to dig deep, persevere and just not give up.

Damian explores the biblical basis for leadership. Apologies for the poor sound quality.
Have you been hurt or find it difficult to relate to others in the church? How can you discover your spiritual gifts? These questions are answered as Damian continues the theme of Life Groups. Using 1 Thessalonians 2: 1-12 as the key text, we can see what a difference being part of a smaller group can make to our walk with God.
