The thought of sharing our faith with family, friends and others can feel a little unsettling at times. Ian Jones encourages us to relax and trust the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to them and to realise that our role is to partner with Him by sharing our lives, our testimony and the Scriptures with those He is drawing. He is the Senior Partner! John 15:26,27
The 7th sign that Jesus performed to show us that He is God was the raising of Lazarus from the dead. It’s a story of love, life, friendship and freedom. In the final message of our Signposts series Benj unpacks this story in John 11 & 12 and helps us see 3 key transformations that Jesus has for us – death to life, bound to free and seatless to seated.
John 9 describes the wonderful account of Jesus healing a man who was born blind. As we look closely we what Jesus is like, who Jesus is, and what this means for us.
The next signpost that we find in the gospel of John is the account of the feeding of the 5,000. In this message Stephen unpacks the story and helps us see that Jesus knows our needs, he can do miracles, that nothing is wasted, and that He can do anything we ask!
In John’s story (Jn 5:1-17) of the man who had been disabled for 38 years, at the pool of Bethesda waiting for healing, we consider the enormous change that was headed his way, the day Jesus walked in. His whole way of life changed in an instant when he stopped looking to others, or to himself (if I could just move a bit faster …), and looked for the first time to Jesus, the Changemaker.
Today we look at John’s account of Jesus healing the son of an official, with Jesus making an important point about the proper relationship between his miraculous signs and true faith in him.
As we continue our mini-series “Signposts” we look at the account of Jesus clearing the temple. We consider some areas of our own lives that may need clearing in order that Jesus can fill the space, bring order, and lead us in His Kingdom. We are the temple of The Lord and we can make sure that his temple is in good order.
This week we look again at the account of Jesus turning water into wine and consider the deeper significance of this first miraculous sign which reveals His glory & points to the wedding feast to come!
A look at Jesus’s guidance when he sends out the 70 in Luke Chapter 10 and how we can apply that in our outreach as followers of Jesus today.

God has so much to say to us. The question is are we listening? Alex and Lisa share some really practical ways we can can all position ourselves to stop, look and listen so we hear all God has to say to us, no matter what our age.
Continuing our ‘Walk This Way’ series, we talk about walking in the power of baptism in water and baptism in the Holy Spirit. We need to be baptised in water and in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38)! Both of these baptisms are powerful, for every Christian, and vital for our ongoing walk as we follow Jesus and walk His way. Join us for some power walking together!
Jesus describes himself as Lord of the Sabbath and encourages us to find “rest for our souls” in Him. As we continue to learn how to outwork a Kingdom culture in our day-to-day lives, we look at what real rest looks like and how we can find a rhythm of rest. We live in a culture of restlessness but as we choose to walk like Jesus we can learn to resist restlessness and instead enjoy a rest for our souls.

Watch/listen again to this key message from David Lyon at our 2024 Momentum Conference.
The ‘Parable of the Sower’ (Mt 13:1-9, 18-23) shows us the barriers which can prevent us receiving the Word of the Kingdom (v.19). We can all have places in our hearts which are closed to God’s Word, too shallow for it to take root, or simply find us too preoccupied with cares of this life to produce anything. In this message we consider Jesus’ call to each of us to prepare our hearts for His Word to go down deep, take root, find space in our lives, and by holding fast to it, see a harvest of abundance produced in us and others.
For our all-together gathering in April we step into Jesus’ story, taking a whistle-stop tour through some amazing parts of Mark Gospel, to follow Jesus and see how we can live like Jesus did. Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit and with power, went around doing good, healing people and setting people free (Acts 10:38). He promised His followers that they too would receive the Holy Spirit and power to carry on spreading the good news of Jesus and His Kingdom – and that includes us!Step into His story with us and look out for some exciting encounters with Jesus, a surprise song and a calendar challenge. Walk this Way!
God Wants you to have Kingdom Yeast! Without the yeast the flour cannot be made to rise. Without Jesus and His Kingdom the world cannot be saved, cannot be changed – Both work silently and unseen. The power of the Kingdom is not physical and yet it produces definite results. The same applies to our own lives – the Kingdom (and all it’s teachings) needs to rise, invade and permeate every part of our lives. Through the parable of the yeast, Jesus teaches us that the Kingdom of Heaven is alive, it’s everywhere, it takes attention and patience to grow, and it transforms everything it touches. Yeast is microscopic in size, and only a little is kneaded (and a only a little is needed!) into the dough. Yet, given time, the yeast will spread through all the dough. In the same way, Jesus started with twelve men in an obscure corner of Galilee, but it has spread throughout the world. We need to “knead the dough” of our lives making sure it reaches, permeates, and touches every part of our lives.It takes effort and technique – it is hard work sometimes! He wants our characters and walk with Him to rise evenly, with no flat spots, no section that are unleavened.
When Jesus went around doing good, He walked with power and purpose. We look together at how Jesus enables us to walk His way; with Holy Spirit power and God-given purpose today.
On this Easter Sunday, we look at the account of Resurrection Day and the invitation before us to go right in, to see and to believe. In a ‘do’ culture we find that the message of Jesus death on the cross, completing His mission on earth and then demonstrating victory over death itself means that for believers Jesus has turned the ‘do’ into ‘DONE!”
We have all heard the expression – “He is his father’s son” or “they are a chip off the old block” or “the apple didn’t fall far from the tree!”. This morning I’m not going to discuss methods on how to bring up your children, but I am going to show you how to influence them. It is about leadership and example – because it is more a case of our children, young folk and those around us are watching you as opposed to us instructing them! Paul says in Philippians 4:9 “Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” The best training is demonstration, not instruction. How many times have we heard folk say to their children, “do as a say, not as I do!”? When really we should be saying, “do as I do!”. Demonstration has more impact than instruction. As the people of God we have the opportunity to influence those around us, the unsaved, work colleagues, friends, our children and young people, all those in our sphere of influence. That we become imitators of Christ, influencing the world and advancing the Kingdom.

We look at how God’s is joyfulness and gladness is seen in Jesus Christ. How God has a sense of humour and wants us to live anointed with joy!
