On Sunday, 26th October, Pastor Lynda Heron shared a powerful message on “Baptism”, drawing from Matthew 3:16–17, where Jesus is baptized and the heavens open, revealing the Father’s voice of approval.

Pastor Lynda reminded us that baptism is far more than a ritual — it’s a public declaration of an inward transformation. Just as Jesus’ baptism marked the beginning of His ministry, our baptism marks a new chapter of obedience, identity, and belonging in God’s family.

She encouraged us to live daily from the Father’s affirmation: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Every believer is called to walk in that same assurance — forgiven, accepted, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

It was a joyful and faith-filled service as we celebrated with those taking this important step of faith, witnessing the beauty of new life in Christ.

In Part 2 of “Equipping the Missionary for the Mission,” Pastor Jason Heron continues to unpack what it means to live as a Spirit-empowered missionary in everyday life. This message will inspire you to step out boldly, confident that the same Spirit who anointed Jesus also empowers you today.

This message is a call to continue walking closely with God, knowing that lasting impact flows not from what we do for Him, but from being with Him.

This week at Elim Church Northampton, Pastor Lynda Heron continued our ReSet series with a powerful and intimate message titled The Transformational Whisper. Drawing from 1 Kings 19:11, Pastor Lynda led us through the story of Elijah—tired, fearful, and on the run—who encountered God not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a still, small voice.

The sermon challenged us to recalibrate our ears and hearts in a noisy world. Pastor Lynda spoke about how often we look for God in the dramatic, yet He meets us in the quiet places—through gentle nudges, subtle promptings, and the soft whisper of His Spirit. She encouraged us to create space in our lives to listen, slow down, and be attentive to the quieter ways God speaks.

Through practical reflection and heartfelt teaching, the message reminded us that transformation doesn’t always come through the spectacular—it often begins in the stillness. Pastor Lynda invited us to ReSet our expectations, reconnect with God's presence in the silence, and allow His whisper to reshape our hearts.

In this powerful message titled "Co-mission," part of the Reset series, Pastor Jason Heron challenged the Elim Church family to rediscover their calling through the lens of the Great Commission.

Pastor Jason unpacked what it means to be on mission with God, not just for Him, encouraging the church to step out in bold obedience, empowered by His presence and purpose.

Whether you're facing personal storms or simply longing for a more grounded, Spirit-led life, this message will encourage and challenge you to embrace the peace that only Christ can offer.

In his message titled "Fruitful Soil," Pastor Jason Heron explored the parable of the sower from Matthew 13. He highlighted how the same seed (God's Word) produces different results depending on the condition of the soil (our hearts). Pastor Jason challenged the congregation to examine the state of their own hearts, asking if they were like the path, the rocky ground, or the thorny ground, which all prevent the seed from taking root and bearing fruit. He emphasized that to be fruitful soil, our hearts must be prepared to receive and nurture God's Word, allowing it to grow deep roots and produce a harvest of righteousness. This powerful message served as a call to cultivate a receptive, soft, and weed-free heart so that we can bear abundant fruit for the Kingdom.

In this thought-provoking sermon, Pastor Jason Heron distinguishes between self-control and self-discipline. He explains that self-control is the ability to say "no" when tempted, while self-discipline is the strength to say "yes" even when your flesh resists. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Jason challenges believers to embrace both qualities, showing how they are essential for living out the fruit of the Spirit in daily life.
