ASSEMBLE Church

In 'Work Still Matters,' Pastor Dom O'Connell explores the biblical truth that work and diligent contribution are part of God's original design for humanity. Far from being a burden caused by the fall, work is our purposeful way to serve, grow, and participate in God's creation. This sermon roots wisdom in Scripture, highlighting Proverbs and the life of Jesus as the ultimate example of perfect diligence and stewardship. You'll be challenged to rethink worldly views on work, embrace your calling to contribute, and pursue Christ—the embodiment of true wisdom—as you live out your purpose with discipline and grace.

In 'They Almost Missed The Rescue,' Pastor Dom O'Connell takes us on a journey through the Easter story, tracing its roots from humanity's brokenness in Genesis to the profound revelation found on the road to Emmaus. We see how the disciples had all the information about Jesus’ resurrection but needed a deeper revelation that came through an intimate encounter with Christ. The sermon challenges us to consider our own closeness to Jesus—walking alongside Him, inviting Him into our homes, and sitting with Him at the table in communion. It reminds us that breakthrough comes through brokenness, exemplified in Jesus’ death and resurrection, and calls us to carry this message of hope and restoration to a world often overwhelmed by disappointment and unmet expectations.

In this powerful Palm Sunday message, Pastor Dom O'Connell explores the dramatic shift of the crowd’s attitude during Holy Week—from welcoming Jesus as king to calling for His crucifixion. Through the story of Pilate’s tense encounter with Jesus, he challenges us to examine where our faith stands: Are we crowd-pleasers or truth-seekers? As we enter a week set apart, we’re invited to break free from the pressure to conform and to anchor ourselves in the truth of who Jesus is, even when it costs. This message calls for a personal and communal reflection on faith, truth, and the courage to stand firm despite opposing voices.

In today’s message, Susannah Thackray explores God’s longing to dwell with His people, tracing the story from the tabernacle in Exodus to the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit in us today. She encourages us to see that God’s glory doesn’t just fill buildings but lives through each of us, transforming the ordinary into something holy and purposeful. Through heartfelt reflection and practical examples, Susannah challenges us to respond actively to this incredible gift—allowing God’s presence to shape our words, choices, and actions so we can truly live for His glory and impact the world around us.

In 'Together For Glory,' Pastor Alex Brompton calls us to embrace our identity as members of God’s household, moving beyond hyper-individualism towards authentic community. He challenges the culture of 'me, myself, and I,' urging us to live out our faith in relationship, sharpened together by the Holy Spirit and unified by Christ, the cornerstone. This message reminds us that church is not a club or an organisation, but a family where we share life, honour leadership, and serve one another for the growth and maturity of the body. Pastor Alex encourages everyone to discover their part in the body of Christ, fostering unity and love so that the impact of Jesus shines through our community.
