Our sermons help you to apply the Bible’s truths to your everyday life and get to know God’s purpose for your life.
Mt Albert Baptist is a place to connect with God and others, grow in your faith, and get involved - we’re a church that likes to make a difference by engaging with the world around us so that others can experience God’s love.
Listen to our latest sermons online here, and come along to our next Sunday services at 9 & 11am.
How did Jesus handle the topic of money? We think we know, but when we dig a little deeper, we're challenged to think again.
Jesus sent out his first outreach disciples seemingly totally unprepared for their task. We will never feel prepared enough or know enough or be brave enough - so we should get out and reach out to others despite feeling unprepared.
Do the churches of NZ really need to be cool and entertaining, or is a bit of boring okay, even good for us maybe? Explore the impact of how Jesus used parables to teach and what it means for us today.
Jesus came to seek and to save sinners. A woman who was considered a great sinner by her peers was forgiven by God. The grace of God is offered to everyone - can we be more like Jesus in reaching out to those we might otherwise generally avoid?
How did Jesus turn the teachings of the world upside down? What does this mean for followers of Jesus and how we reach out to others and bring them to faith?
Jesus offered his invitation to 'good people' and sinners alike. How does this affect how we do outreach today?
So often Jesus' interaction with the world beyond his immediate followers is a healing. In fact if you looked in the gospel of Mark, roughly one third of that whole gospel are healing stories. And this lands us in a really tough place as we try to emulate how Jesus did outreach.
This Sunday we celebrate with Lydia and Jack as they get baptised. Pastor Jess shares some reflections from Easter camp and challenges us all to pause then participate:
"When our lives are filled with clutter, we struggle to pause.
When we struggle to pause, we struggle to see the details.
When we struggle to see the details, we struggle to see God."
We return to this series for the final events in the story of Nehemiah. Tim Page gives this sermon.
We apologise for the loss of sound and picture at the beginning of this sermon. We pick up Tim’s words as he recaps.
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Join with us as Pastor Rob Lovatt re-tells the Resurrection story and reminds us of the significance it holds for us today, with one of the most practical applications: the baptism of Sam and Freda. Hear them share their story and publicly affirm their trust in the resurrected Jesus as Saviour and Lord.
We are a welcoming church community for anyone to get to know God and his plan for their life.
We believe life change happens best in community, when we can learn from and encourage each other.
We want to be transformed into the individuals and community that God dreams for us.
We like to make a difference by engaging with the world around us so others can experience God’s love.

Local mum Jen Gibbs has written a book about living a life full of faith, hope and love. She tells us why women of the Bible played such a big role in her story.
Murray and Sue Wagener want to share their story of marriage on the rocks and how God stepped in to pick up the pieces, to give others hope.
Each year at Easter thousands of teenagers around New Zealand go to camps where they learn about God and the story of Jesus – all the while having an amazing time together. Here’s a story about a life impacted by a family’s kindness and an Easter Camp 40 years ago.
A chance encounter with a stranger set Bill and Jean Morley’s life on a different course 50 years ago. This is their story.
