Destiny Church Edinburgh

Jesus’ strong message to the Church in Laodicea is a warning to us against self-sufficiency and self-satisfaction. Pastor Pete explains why, in the face of Jesus’ greatness and of His immense sacrifice for us, Christians are called to live a life that is far from bland and mediocre.

Pastor Pete’s message today identifies the several ways in which God opens doors in our lives. But, ultimately, Jesus Himself is the only door worth opening and going through.

A ‘dead church’ is an oxymoron, how can people who believe in the Living God be dead? The church in Sardis, complacent and apathetic, had lost its rootedness in Jesus, and was living on its past reputation. Do we, individually and corporately, need a divine wakeup call too? The good news is that God is the God of Resurrection.

Pastor Bill Wilson leads Metro World Child – the world’s largest Sunday School. He shares with us about the ministry and challenges us to get out of our comfort zones and live radically for Jesus.

Life is not always easy and there are times when we can ask the question ‘where is God?’. This message will encourage you as Pastor Mika shows us from Psalm 23 that God is with us, even in the hardest of times and how we can trust God in the midst of the storms of life.

Peace is something we long for but so many things can steal our peace. Andrea Wigglesworth shares at our Holy Spirit Night some of the keys to living a peace-filled life, overcoming anxiety and the power of what we focus our thoughts on.

The church in Thyatira was rebuked for their tolerance of sin. Jesus’ warning is still relevant to us today. There is no neutral ground; we either follow God or the devil. As Christians, we are not meant to sit on the fence. We are called to love sinners but to be intolerant of sin.

Jesus’ message to the church in Pergamum still speaks directly to us today. It warns us, like it did to His believers back then, of the dangers of compromising with the world when we adopt their values and principles. Going with the flow may be easier than going against the flow, but Jesus’ stern warning is a reminder that as His disciples, we are meant to be true to Him and Him alone.

This week, Pastor Pete unpacks Jesus’ message to the church in Smyrna. He saw their tribulations and their sufferings, but He urged them to remain faithful, even unto death. This message to stay faithful, no matter how difficult our circumstances are, is a timeless one and applies to the church even today.

The church of Ephesus was commended for their good deeds and for their sound doctrine. But God wants more than outward compliance, He also wants our heart. In this message, Pastor Pete warns us of the dangers of losing our passion and love for Jesus. He reminds us that Christianity is, in essence, a relationship with Jesus, not a religion.

As we launch a week of prayer and fasting as a church Pastor Pete gives us an encouragement that God equips us with the authority and power to see spiritual change in circumstances and challenges in our lives as we pray and fast.

In the last message of our '20 years on’ series, Pastor Pete revisits our 2020 vision and also unveils new exciting plans that are designed to impact "Edinburgh, the Lothians and beyond."

This Sunday Night message is shared with us by Pastor Yinka Oyekan, who oversees The Turning movement, on the back of an 8 day mission in Edinburgh and celebrating all that God has done. Yinka encourages Christians to walk with confidence in their authority in Christ.

How do Christians become winners? In this message, Pastor Pete explores the link between discipleship and spiritual growth. God makes disciples, working in us to become more and more like Jesus. And we too are called not just to be disciples but also to make disciples - by obeying the Great Commission to go, to baptize and to teach.

As part of an evening with The Turning Pastor Pete takes a moment to look at when we turn to God then we experience His power at work in us and through us.
