The Grove Baptist Church

The power of God to rescue, heal and restore is available to all who turn to him and open the door of their hearts. This is the powerful story of Emily Higgins who through miraculous healing has become an Ambassador for Christ.

All Christians are called, equipped with gifts, and set apart to ‘go’. What can we do as a church to help mobilise missional heroes?

When God is quiet and we are sinking, how will we respond? We’re called to remain faithful and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, our Saviour and friend.

When following God gets hard, it can be tempting to stop or fall back on what feels safe. In Haggai 2, God speaks to a discouraged people and calls them to keep moving forward—to be strong, to work, and to trust him. In this message, Marty explores three reasons we can take the next step with God: his presence is with us, his provision is enough, and his promise is ahead of us. When we can’t see w...

The Rich Young Ruler came to Jesus seeking eternal life but when the cost of surrendering to Jesus was too high he walked away from the very thing he was seeking. Are we willing to surrender to Jesus and accept his gift of eternal life and make him Lord of our whole lives?

Christians face mortality with the hope of something more, but that hope is often tied to vague notions of heaven and a general trust that God will sort it all out in the end. But do we actually know what we are looking forward to? Can we even begin to conceive of what God has planned for us?

Nehemiah 6 explores how opposition can come not only through persecution, but through distraction. It challenges us to discern what is genuinely important, resist the distractions that pull us away from God’s purposes, and remember that our mission begins not with doing more, but with sitting at the feet of Jesus.

In Isaiah 62, we’re reminded that God is faithful to His promises, even when we can’t yet see the answer. This message explores what it means to keep watch and pray, prepare the way for people to encounter Jesus, and proclaim the good news that our Saviour has come. We’re invited to keep praying with confidence, live with hope, and join God in His mission, trusting that He is not finished with His...

Peter was a disciple of Jesus and a close friend but it took him a long time and quite a few stumbles to really understand who Jesus really was and why he came. We can struggle just like Peter but we too can get there as Pastor Steve explains.

God doesn’t expect us to have it all together before approaching him and he offers us his wisdom wherever we are at in life. Ben Dainton explains how and why.

Pastor Dan explores the relationship between Jesus and his Father God and how this proves that Jesus is fully God and fully Man and why this is so important to our faith.

In John 14, Jesus makes a bold invitation: “I am the way, the truth and the life.” What can initially sound exclusive is actually an invitation into a relationship with God—a way to know the Father, discover the truth about who He is, and experience the abundant life Jesus offers. This message explores what it means to follow Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Life, and how He transforms us from...

In Daniel 6, we discover that Daniel’s extraordinary influence was rooted in a deep life of prayer. When his faith was put under pressure, Daniel’s prayer made God visible — and revealed the living God who rescues and saves. This message invites us not simply to believe in the power of prayer, but to trust in the power of Jesus, bring Him what feels impossible, and pray with confidence to the God...

The Great Commission that Jesus gave his disciples in Matthew 28 was for all Christians. Be encouraged as Dave Twigg shares stories of God working through his life and how God wants to work through us to reach the world for Jesus.

What happens when we become so caught up in life that we fail to see where we’re heading? In Daniel 5, Belshazzar is confronted with the reality that his life, power and kingdom are not in his own hands. The writing is on the wall, and God calls him to account. This message challenges us to wake up, humble ourselves before the Most High God, turn from the things that compete for our worship, and r...

Discovering who Jesus is and what He promises through His statement in John 8:12 “I am the light of the world”.

Daniel 4 tells the story of Nebuchadnezzar, the proud king who believed his power and achievements made him “most high,” until God humbled him. But this is more than a story of judgement—it is a story of grace, restoration and a king who finally learns to look up and worship the true King of heaven.

Every day, someone or something is shaping who we are becoming. In a world full of competing voices, Jesus declares, "I am the Good Shepherd"—the only One who truly knows us, laid down His life for us, and faithfully leads us into the life we were created to live.

What does it take to stand when everyone else is bowing? In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego demonstrate unshakeable faith—not because they know how the story will end, but because they know their God. He is worthy, able, faithful and with us in the fire. This message invites us to keep trusting and worshipping God, even when prayers seem unanswered and the path ahead is uncertain.

Often the world writes off people in prisons as of no value. But God doesn’t. Our guest speaker Emmy Wilson shares powerful stories from her experiences of sharing Jesus with prisoners around the world and invites us to receive the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes we face “God-sized problems” that neither we nor anything from this world can fix. Where can we go for help with these problems? The Gospels tell of a woman with a bleeding issue who discovered the answer and can show us how…

Where do we turn when we don’t know what to do? When life feels uncertain, our instinct can be to search for answers, seek advice, or try to work out a solution ourselves. But Daniel 2 invites us to something deeper: to stop, surrender, and seek the wisdom of God. In this message, we discover that true wisdom isn’t found in having control, but in trusting the God who is in control, and learning to...

What do we do when the enemy attacks us? Often this takes place when we are weak and alone. Like in Exodus 17 there is a strategy to combat this, and the answer is found in lifting our hands in prayer. The battle rages on but the victory has been won in Jesus on the cross. May the Lord be our banner.
