Lifecentral Church

We all want clarity in life—what we’re taking in, where we’re going, and the decisions we’re making—so we ask questions about relationships, money, and the future… but when it comes to God, many of us skip the questions and jump straight to a conclusion. What if instead we started with one simple word: maybe? Our brains are wired to fill in gaps and rush to answers, but real clarity often comes wh...

When life doesn’t make sense, many of us ask the honest question, “Why is this happening to me?” While God may not give us every detail about how our story will unfold, He often gives us enough perspective to trust Him. In the tension and uncertainty of life, God may be shaping a story far bigger than we can see, inviting us to trust Him even when the answers aren’t clear yet. Speaker - Leon Evans...

Life is full of questions — some funny, some frustrating, some deeply personal. Beneath the light-hearted “why” questions we joke about are the ones we quietly carry. Doubt isn’t a disqualification — it’s a doorway. The real question isn’t “Do you have doubts?” It’s “What will you do with them?” Speaker - Stuart Blount

Most transformation doesn’t begin with certainty, but with a simple “I wonder…” In a culture where many are quietly exploring faith from a distance, curiosity is enough to begin. Belonging comes before believing, and grace welcomes us before we earn it. Speaker - Jayne Sargeant

You don’t have to be certain to encounter Jesus—just willing to reach out. In a culture that’s less religious but still quietly searching, maybe your hidden pain matters? Maybe your issues don’t disqualify you? Maybe, one honest moment with Jesus today could change everything. Can you ask, "Maybe God?" Speaker - Leon Evans - Lead Pastor

We all experience love differently — whether it’s Valentine’s Day, rom-coms, romantic dinners, or Jude Law in an English cottage. But maybe that’s because “love” has become a junk-drawer word. We use it for everything from “I love you” to “I love pancakes.” What if love isn’t primarily something you feel… but something you decide? In the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus shows us that real love i...

Have you ever felt like you’re not enough for what’s in front of you? Like, everyone else seems more ready, more confident, more qualified… and you’re just hoping no one notices you don’t feel ready? What if God isn’t looking for ready people… but willing people? Speaker: Lisa Parkes - Lead Pastor, Living Hope Church, Dudley.

We live temporary lives, but we were made for eternity. If Jesus truly is the Saviour of the world, it changes how we live today. Eternity is set in the human heart, which is why the present alone never satisfies. We were created with purpose, restored by grace, and offered a forever future through Christ. When we know where our lives are heading, we live with clarity, certainty, and hope—because...

In a world increasingly defined by division—left and right, rich and poor, us and them—we explore the biblical vision of a “new humanity” found in Ephesians 2. Paul reminds us that through Jesus, those once far apart have been brought near: peace is not an idea but a person who breaks down every wall of hostility. Christianity is about belonging before believing, shared access over shared backgrou...

Most of us don’t wake up thinking, “Today I’m going to thrive", we’re just trying to survive. But Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2 that we were made for more. ➡️ Made alive — not improved, but awakened ➡️ Made new — saved by grace, not effort ➡️ Made for more — created on purpose, for purpose. You’re not random, you’re not a copy... you’re God’s handiwork — His masterpiece. 🎨 So the question isn’t...

Rather than trying harder or becoming “a better version” of ourselves, real change starts with identity, not behaviour. So many of us measure life by success, validation, or comfort—only to feel stuck or exhausted. Drawing on the idea that who you believe you are shapes how you live, the message is simple: you don’t need a new you, you need a clearer view of yourself. When identity comes before ef...

As we step into 2026, we all arrive differently. Whether you’re full of faith, full of questions, overwhelmed, comfortable, or barely holding on, the invitation is not to have a perfect plan for the year ahead but a clear direction, fixing our eyes on Jesus, throwing off the crowds of distraction and setting your direction towards Him. That can change everything. Speaker - Andy Hancock, Executive...

Real change isn’t about forcing ourselves to be better — it’s about letting God grow something new in us. Self-control isn’t just resisting temptation; it’s the foundation that frees us to love, choose peace, show patience, and live with purpose. We’re all tempted, but God is faithful, always offering a way through and shaping our character as we walk with Him. Jesus modelled ultimate self-control...

Our world desperately needs the Christ-like maturity that shows up as a long fuse—steady, calm, and gracious even when we’re frustrated. Paul reminds us that patience is a fruit the Spirit grows in us, a reflection of God’s immense patience toward us, and something we’re called to extend to everyone: the idle, the hurting, the weak, and even the difficult. When we pause, respond rather than react,...

Joy has a way of spilling over from one person to another — whether in big life moments or tiny everyday ones. But as Jesus’ story of the prodigal son shows, lasting joy isn’t found in chasing experiences or trying to become a “better version” of ourselves; it’s found in vulnerability, in choosing to come home to a God who welcomes us with compassion and turns His joy into ours. —Speaker: Assistan...

In a world full of division, what would happen if we led with kindness? In the Kingdom of God, there’s no “us vs. them” — there’s just us. Kindness isn’t about judgment or convenience — it’s about forgiveness, compassion, and love that brings unity. 💛 That kind of kindness changes the world. 🌍 —Speaker: Keith Spurgin

In a world that feels louder, harsher and more divided, gentleness can seem unfashionable — even weak. But true gentleness isn’t weakness —it’s strength under control, expressed in love. Jesus described His own heart as “gentle and humble,” showing us that gentleness has the power to heal relationships, calm chaos, and bring rest to weary souls. When we choose gentleness — in our words, our reacti...

We live in a world desperate for peace — yet the kind we try to create through mindfulness, rest, or control never lasts. True peace, the kind that calms storms within and around us, is the peace Jesus gives. Peace isn’t just about personal calm, but about pursuing, cultivating, and establishing peace — becoming people who carry Jesus’ peace into a divided, chaotic world. —Speaker : Laura Hancock

The world feels broken — wars, division, fear for the future. What our world needs now? Love and faithfulness. We explore how living like Jesus can fill the gap between how life is and how it should be. —Speakers : Andy Hancock and Sam Hughes

What do you follow? Have you ever invested time into something and been let down or disappointed? BUT... What if there was something or someone you could follow that was 100% reliable? —Speaker: Mark Greenwood, Director of Elim Evangelism.

We all want to be part of something that matters — something bigger than ourselves. Over the past three years, Above & Beyond giving has reached from Halesowen to Albania, from families in crisis to global missions. Now, God’s calling us again to go above and beyond — to invest in what lasts, to open our hands, and to light up lives with hope. —Speaker : Leon Evans - Lead Pastor

What unites us is greater than what divides us. We explore how a wildly diverse group of disciples with clashing backgrounds, personalities, and politics were brought together by Jesus to change the world. The same invitation is open to us today: connection, belonging, purpose, and second chances. If you’ve ever thought faith is about division or perfection — think again. This is about a fresh sta...

We all love a good ending—whether it’s shocking, heartbreaking, frustrating, or full of hope. But how does God’s greater story end? In Isaiah 65 we catch a glimpse: a new heaven and a new earth, where sorrow and death are gone, where purpose and peace are restored, and where joy overflows. This isn’t just God’s story—it’s our story too. We can look forward with hope, with purpose, and with expecta...

What makes a great story? Tension — that messy middle where everything matters. In this talk we explore how Isaiah points to our own tangled stories of sin, exile and desperate need, then offers the hope of a Redeemer: a rescuer who comes, pays the price (the suffering servant) and invites us into new life. Join us as we unpack the problem, the promise, the cost and the pathway of redemption — and...

In a world marked by turmoil, uncertainty and “permacrisis,” where do we find hope and meaning? Looking through the lens of Isaiah, we explore how God’s Greater Story —creation, fall, redemption, and perfection, speaks into our chaos today. —Speaker : Leon Evans - Lead Pastor
