Enemies at the Gate - Maintaining The Glow
In the final part of Series Three of our Healthy Church series, Pastor Mike Wilkes looks at Enemies at the Gate. As Christians, it is important that we recognise the potential threats and challenges that can come against the health and unity of the Church. As believers, we each have a responsibility to prepare our hearts, minds and souls, to remain rooted in biblical truth, and to understand the part we play within the Body of Christ. In this message, Pastor Mike considers how we can remain watchful, spiritually prepared and faithful in protecting the health of the Church.

Enemies At The Gate - The Truth
Welcome to Part Three of our Healthy Church series. Pastor Heather Dudfield leads us this morning as we look at the subject of Truth. Increasingly, we live in a world where truth is treated as subjective, shaped by our feelings, our culture, or the latest fashion and trend. Yet we believe that for a church to be truly healthy, it must be firmly rooted in biblical truth. Today, we explore the truth revealed to us in the Bible and consider what we, as a church, believe, hold to, and seek to live by.

Mountain to Mission
Welcome to the Excel Church Podcast. This week, we're reflecting on the powerful moments we shared at Excel Conference 2026. Conference weekends often feel like mountaintop experiences, times when God speaks deeply, restores weary hearts, ignites fresh vision, and reminds us of His presence in profound ways. But what happens when the conference ends and everyday life begins again? Together, we'll explore how we take those sacred moments and turn them into mission. How do we carry what God has done in us into the homes we live in, the workplaces we serve in, and the communities He's called us to reach? How do we ensure that inspiration becomes transformation, and encounter becomes obedience? Join us as we discuss how the blessings we receive on the mountaintop were never meant to stay there. They are gifts to be stewarded for the benefit of others, so that the hope, encouragement, and love of Christ overflow from our lives into the world around us. Thanks for joining us. Let's dive in.

Healthy Church - Mission
In Part 3 of our Healthy Church podcast series, Heather Dudfield discusses the call for every believer to go and share the message of Jesus. She explores how healthy churches are built by individuals who actively live out and communicate the Gospel in their day-to-day lives — because church is not just something we attend on a Sunday, it is who we are as the body of Christ.

Healthy Church - Vision
Earlier this year, Excel Church launched the Healthy Church series, where we explored how we, as Christians and as the body of Christ, all play a vital role in the health and growth of the Church. Now we’re stepping into a brand-new Church Health series, taking a deeper look at who we are as a church and the calling God has placed upon us. In today’s sermon, Pastor Dek Dudfield shares the importance of having a clear vision, a clear purpose, and a clear understanding of where God is leading His Church. We pray this message encourages and strengthens you as we continue building a healthy, Christ-centred church together.

From Death to Life
Pastor Dek Dudfield explores one of the greatest realities of the Christian faith — the devastating impact that sin has on our lives, our hearts, and our relationship with God, and the incredible hope found through Jesus Christ. In Death to Life, we journey from brokenness to redemption, uncovering how the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus made a way for humanity to be restored, forgiven, and truly alive. This is a message of grace, transformation, and the power of the cross to change everything.

Taking Out the Trash ~ It's time for some decluttering.
In this week’s podcast, we’re being led by our visiting speaker, Pastor Graham Field, and he’s challenging us to do something powerful — take out the trash. So often as Christians, we focus on what we need to add into our lives — more prayer, more faith, more commitment, more service. But sometimes growth isn’t just about what we put in… it’s also about what we need to remove. What attitudes, habits, thought patterns, or distractions have we allowed to build up? This message invites us to pause, reflect, and clear out what no longer belongs — because a healthy life in Christ isn’t just about addition, it’s also about subtraction. Let’s lean in as Pastor Graham helps us take out the trash and make room for what God truly wants to do in our lives.

Love the LORD
So this is a brand-new podcast episode, and this week’s message is brought to us by the wonderful Chipo Mwale. Chippo takes us into the book of Matthew, where we find the religious leaders attempting to trap Jesus with a question: What is the greatest commandment given in the Bible? Jesus responds with clarity and authority — to love the Lord your God and to love others. But what does it really mean to love God with all your heart in today’s world — a world full of noise, pressure, and constant distraction? This episode challenges us to examine our hearts, refocus our devotion, and rediscover what wholehearted love for God truly looks like in the modern day.

Church Health Starts with Me, Part 4: Living It Out Every Day
“Welcome back to the podcast, and to the final part of our 2026 preaching series Church Health starts with me.

As part of our 2026 strapline here at Excel Church, ‘Get Fixed for 2026,’ this episode is about moving from inspiration to application.

Real life brings pressure, distractions, and obstacles — but God’s grace empowers us to stay consistent, faithful, and rooted. So join us as we talk honestly about the challenges, and how we can live out a healthy, God-honouring faith daily as we step forward into 2026 together.”
