• The Power of Gratitude and Greetings
    Dec 29 2024

    What’s in a greeting? A lot more than you may realise! With Pastor Bawa we walk with Mary and Elizabeth to share their experiences of greetings around the births of their sons. We discover how greetings can engage, encourage, enrich, empower and envision. We are encouraged to be people who truly greet each other, and to greet the goodness of God in each other. We see how our greetings overflow from gratitude - a life of appreciation of, and celebration before God, whatever our circumstances.

  • The Light Shines in the Darkness
    Dec 22 2024

    “There is hope today, because the light shines in the darkness.” Pastor Andy inspires us to be captured by the awe and wonder of the Christmas story. Through this we can find the strength to face the challenges of life, remembering that Jesus, the light of the world, shines in our dark times. We have this confidence - the darkness neither understood Jesus, nor overcomes Him.

  • Hope This Christmas
    Dec 15 2024

    “Hope is being able to see that there is light, despite all the darkness.” Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In this world of war, cost of living and climate crises, political instability and a host of other challenges, where do we find hope? Pastor Jacqui invites us to reflect on what we’re hoping for this Christmas, how Jesus is the the foundation for our hope, and to engage in spiritual practices that feed our hope. We can fix our attention on Jesus, spend time in God’s word - whose promises give us the hope which anchors our souls - patiently trust in God’s plans that extend beyond our immediate experience, and share together how God is moving, and has worked in our lives.

  • God's Gifts of Grace and Truth
    Dec 1 2024

    What gifts are you thinking of giving this Christmas? Well God had an eternity to think about how he would give us the gift go His Son Jesus! Andrew Onobrakpeya shares how grace and truth wrap around God’s plan through history to restore our broken relationship with Him. The cross allows our relationship with God to be restored. Andrew explains that the presence of God isn’t confined to a place or time, but now lives within all his followers in the person of the Holy Spirit. Grace empowers us to live godly lives - the truth of this is the basis of the victorious lives we can now live. We say Amen with Andrew that: “We can’t thank God enough for giving us the gift of Jesus Christ.”

  • Baptisms
    Nov 24 2024

    Why do Christians get baptised as adults? What has this got to do with the Christian message? Listen to the stories of nine people who tell their stories of the transforming experience of life in Jesus, and the importance of baptism in their ongoing journey of faith. Pastor Andy concludes the service, inviting us to ask this question of Christians we know: “What does Jesus mean to you?” He explains how, by faithfully following Christ, we too can come to experience peace - now and forever - to know what life is about, and how to have a living relationships with the one who holds our lives in his hands.

  • The Word is Near You
    Nov 17 2024

    Why do we study the word of God? And how? Simmie and Jo share that, through studying the Scriptures, we build intimacy with God, learn what it means to be true representatives of Christ in the world, and build our discernment and defence against evil. In communion with other believers we test and refine our understanding of the word and learn how to put in into practice. We get the most out of the word by reading it regularly, widely, and humbly, by believing it, reading it with prayer and by applying it. Join Jo as he shares an example of applying this teaching to the beginning of John's gospel.

  • The Cross and the Fire
    Nov 10 2024

    “May the cross and the fire never simply be emblems of what might have been but the hallmarks of our lives and witness until Jesus comes again.” Pastor Andy reflects on living empowered by the fire of the Spirit and the sacrifice of the cross. We deny ourselves for the sake of Christ and for others who need us to represent him in this dark world. Jesus compares the Spirit to the flow of rivers (plural) from our innermost being. What character flows from us when we are under pressure, and what power is there for us to take the Gospel beyond the walls of the church? As we submit to Him, The Spirit is who in us, with us, and for us, makes Jesus’ indwelling presence a real experience in our everyday lives.

  • Giving
    Nov 3 2024

    Pastor Steve shares three Biblical truths about giving. First, we give from a heart of worship not duty, trusting God as our creator, sustainer and provider. Second, we are stewards of everything and owners of nothing. Third, he shows us the connection between giving and blessing, and addresses head on what the Bible does - and doesn’t - say about this. He shares how giving attracts the blessing of God, and the various ways in which that blessing is demonstrated. He inspires us with the truth that we give from the heart, cheerfully, and generously to see people come to faith, transform communities and families, eradicate poverty and to give glory to God.
