At the start of a year in which so much is changing and uncertain, the Bible assures us that "Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). He is the Rock on which our lives and churches are built and we...
Numbers 11 helps us to understand that living in uncertainty can cause us to grasp for control. When we’re rooted in the certainty of who God is though, we can let go of control and lay hold of all God has for us. We can live in...
Numbers 7 gives a detailed account of the offerings brought to the Lord on behalf of the people. It’s a passage that’s easy to skim over due to its repetitive nature, but it contains principles that are important for us to grasp as we...

God’s word has a lot to say about ‘heaven’ yet as believers we rarely seem to talk about it. In today’s message, we look as what we have already been told about heaven and the age to come, asking ourselves ‘how then should we live?’....
Being a Christian isn’t all about sitting in pews while waiting to go to Heaven. In fact, not at all. We’re called to play a very active part in restoring all things! How? By being the salt of the earth: enhancing flavour, enabling...

It’s thrilling to realise that the New Testament churches multiplied rapidly, grew every day and "turned the world down” (Acts 17:6) - and did so without any church buildings! How? By meeting in small groups "from house to house" and...

The opening chapter of Mark’s Gospel is a powerful, noisy and fast-paced introduction to the ministry and miracles of Jesus! We meet the Son of God moved with compassion, touching and transforming the lives of dozens of people from...

It can be easy to let the busyness of life (and our long todo lists!) distract us from the most important thing - spending time with Jesus and listening to his word. Luke 10:38-42 describes the encounter Jesus had with Mary and Martha....

“What kind of house will you build for Me?” asks the Lord (Acts 7:49). It’s a great question, forcing us to be clear about what we’re part of and what we’re aiming for. In this message we take a look at three biblical pictures of the...
In this podcast, we ask the question, "Who is shepherding the lost?". We look specifically at how we have the mandate and commission to be those shepherds in our villages and towns and use some practical examples and tools to...
Jesus’ compassion is for everyone. And every one of us is qualified to show and extend His compassion to every person that Jesus gave his life for. With this in mind our prayer is “Lord, move us as You are moved. Break our hearts from...

As we reach the end of the year it’s vital we do all we can to ‘finish well’ - so that we can start the new year in the best possible way. Hebrews chapter 11 describes some ‘heroes of faith’ - men and women who pressed-on and finished...
There is immense power in the precious name of Jesus! We look at Acts 4 and see how the name of Jesus changes everything. That by His name we know acceptance with God, association with other Christians and authority to see His power...
In the second of two messages from John’s letters looking at 'The World' (how we relate to it and how we should live in it), we turn to John’s amazing statement that we are, AS HE IS, in this world (1 John 4:17). John instructs us not...
In both his letters and his gospel, John often refers to his readers as ‘children’. John really wants us to be confident of who we are as children of God. From the account of King David and his covenant faithfulness to Mephibosheth, we...
From the opening chapters of Genesis onwards, the practice of tithing - giving God the first tenth - has been a distinguishing hallmark of God’s covenant people. But is tithing still relevant? Is it outdated now we’re part of a new...
For many of us, fear can be one of the most controlling influences in our lives. However 1 John 4:18 tells us that "Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this...
In his letters, John focuses on the life, light and love of God. In living out the divine life of God, every believer can also expect to live in His light and love. We take time to see how we can enjoy and express a fullness of truth...
In the first of two messages from John’s letters, looking at the world - how we relate to it and how we should live in it - we start with John’s instruction not to love the world. Firstly looking at what John and the other NT writers...
The apostle John describes Jesus as “the Saviour of the World” (1John 4:14), a description also used by the many Samaritans who followed Jesus after He stopped to speak with a woman at their well (John 4:42). The story of Jesus’s...

God created us to be an expressive people and in this lively all-age gathering we consider the word ‘praise’ as found in the Psalms. We discover that by looking at the original Hebrew words used for ‘praise’ brings freedom to...
John sets a precedent for us in his writings of being totally fixated on Jesus. His call for all believers throughout his writings is to abide in Christ is pivotal for us and influences everything else that John writes about. As we...

As we start a new series - "Why do we do that?" - Stephen shares with us about why we fast. Fasting is something practical that we do but with enormous spiritual benefits. As we fast (and accompany it with prayer) we seek God for more...
The rapid growth of the early church was the result of not just the well-known ministries of Peter, Paul, Barnabas, Apollos and others, but also the faithful witness of multitudes who played their part in small, anonymous but vitality...
How can the church act as a bridge between God and the world? How can we connect with people who don’t know Him? How do we live free from any guilt about our effectiveness? In this honest and down-to-earth message John McGinley...
The heart of God is to love the poor, to love the nations and to love the lost, and these three great loves were expressed perfectly in the life and ministry of Jesus. Fulfilling His Great Commission requires us to express the same...
God is a great promise keeper. There are many times in scripture when God promises that if we do certain things then He will respond! In the final few verses of Acts 2 we see that if we will be devoted to Christ by giving ourselves to...

At the start of this new season together we take a look at the account in John 13 of Jesus washing his disciples feet and consider what it means to serve one another, following the example of Jesus....

Many of us loved to dress us when we were younger; it was so fun to pretend to be someone else... someone better, stronger and braver than ourselves. As we get older, we still dress up or put on a mask for others because we can feel...

Romans 13:8 tells is about one 'debt' that you will always owe and can never pay off - the debt of love to others. As we explore what this means together, we see how we will never be able to reach the point where we can say “now I love...

Romans 8:28 - In our present uncertain age, this Biblical truth is a steel peg which can be punched into the Rock. It is an anchor point in the storms of life. During this message we examine the different parts of this wonderful...

We learn from Psalm 84, why the Sons of Korah had a profound appreciation of and desire for the presence of God and what this can mean for us today....
