Bekah introduces us to our new series, the Upper Room Discourse Series: The Upper Room Discourse Speaker: Bekah Atkins Date: 02/22/26

Jesus lovingly invites us to abide in Him, thus making our Lord and Saviour our dwelling place. This is a gentle yet radical call to step out of the world system and enter a living, intimate union with Him. As we abide in Him, we draw from His divine Life and are grafted into His incorruptible Life. In Him we find everything we need for life and godliness, for His Life begins to flow through us. F...

On the night before his death, Jesus promises his disciples, and us, the Holy Spirit - the advocate. Through the Holy Spirit we have new nearness with God, new permanence of His presence, new intimacy, and experience His transformative power. Because God makes His home in us we can surrender control, receive His peace and become more like Jesus. Passage: John 14 Series: Upper Room Discourse Speake...

Jesus died for us. Jesus lives for us. Jesus is praying for us. Passage: Romans 8: 31-39 Series: Romans Speaker: Gsry Gibbs Date: 2/15/26

Having taken the first half of his letter to the Romans to outline the good news of the gospel and to show how God‘s solution for our need has nothing to do with us, but everything to do with Christ, Paul now outlines God‘s provision for living in the good of this life that Christ has won for us – it’s the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Passage: Rom 8:1-30 Series: Romans Speaker: Mike Beau...

How to enjoy God's grace, and avoid falling into sin. Passage: Romans 6 Series: Romans Speaker: Steve Thomas Date: 1/25/26

Our lives have moved from being trapped “in Adam”, defined by sin and rebellion, to being “in Christ”. Being “in Christ” gives us the privileges of having Peace with God and of having access to God. Passage: Romans 5 Series: Romans Speaker: Becky Webb Date: 1/11/26

It all begins with Jesus. It will all end with Jesus. It has always and will always be all about Jesus. Passage: John 1: 1-18 Speaker: Rich Colbrook Date: 1/4/26

Abraham - archetype of salvation by faith. What are we saved for? We are saved to Belong and to Be Sent Passage: Romans 4 and Ephesians 4 Series: Romans Speaker: Rich (on behalf of Bekah) Date: 12/14/25

In Romans 3–4, Paul moves us from humanity’s universal guilt to humanity’s rescue, showing that we are justified by faith alone, in Christ alone, through grace alone, according to Scripture alone for God’s Glory alone. In God’s courtroom, we see the great exchange as Jesus takes our sentence and gives us His righteousness. Two simple words “But now” transform condemnation into life, and invite oth...

In this message Jonathan encourages us to step up in prayer for our unsaved friends, and to step out in faith to share the Gospel and expect miracles. It’s a practical, faith building message! Passage: Matthew 9:35-Matt 10:1, Col 4:2-3, Eph 6:18, Acts 4:29-31, Mark 16:15-20, Matthew 10:7-8, John 14:12, Mark 16:15-20, Speaker: Jonathan Conrathe Date: 11/23/25

By ourselves, we all stand guilty before a holy God, but our help and rescue comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Paul demonstrates in his letter to the church in Rome that there is no ‘us vs them’; instead, we are one church, saved by one and the same rescue. Passage: Romans 2:1-5; Romans 2:17-24; Romans 3:3 Series: Romans Speaker: Abby Sheard Date: 11/16/25

Paul addresses the Gentiles in Rome about their behaviour. By understanding what life was like in Ancient Rome, we can see how these verses prompt us to examine our own lives to make sure we're putting God first and paying attention when he speaks. Passage: Romans 1:18-32 Series: Romans Speaker: Claire Wong Date: 11/2/25

Looking at Romans 1 prompts us to ask some big questions. How confident are we in the power of the Gospel today? How can we become more confident? And why should we be confident in the Gospel? Passage: Romans 1:8-17 Series: Romans Speaker: Sam Neal Date: 10/26/25

As the church in Rome listened to the opening lines of Paul’s letter they would have been drawn into deeper relationship with the one it was talking about. They would have heard that the whole of the Old Testament points to him. They would have listened to a radical declaration that there is a new Lord far higher and greater than Caesar and they would have understood to a greater degree that what...

An introduction to the coming series, Romans 1-8, for community groups and Sundays. Passage; many verses from Romans Series; Romans Speaker; Rick Thomas Date; 10/12/25

Many christians have favourite verses from Romans, but rarely know how those verses fit together, or what Paul was trying to say through the whole letter. In this Whistlestop overview of Romans, Mike charts a path for us to help us know what Paul was saying and why. Passage; Romans! Series; Romans Speaker; Mike Beaumont Date; 10/05/25

Last words are powerful. Sadly, David's last words were a mix of the good (as he reflected on the dependability of God), the bad (as he revealed festering grudges) and the ugly (as he ordered mafia-like killings). David's light dims but the disappointents we may feel in his failings are transformed to delight when we see him as a shadow of the one to come - the second David. This King sits...

Through this complicated passage at the end of 2 Samuel summarising the end of David’s reign as King we can learn a simple truth. That we can know a God of love, mercy and Grace. And that knowing Him is to know ourselves, totally loved, wrapped in mercy and covered by grace? Do you know Him? Passage; 2 Samuel 24; Mark 15:33 Series; The Rule of King David Speaker; Anna Charles Date; 9/21/25

A short introduction to our Prayer Sunday. The curtain in the Temple separating the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies was about 21 meters (69 feet) high. It was a massive, heavy veil woven with complex patterns. It said, "No entry", because sin had separated. The moment Jesus died, heaven tore that curtain in two. You can come in – right in. You can meet God. You can be friends with God...

In Psalm 18, David declared his love for God, his strength and deliverer from all his enemies consistent with how God delivers the righteous from all their afflictions - Psalm 34:19-20. David did not only confront strong enemies like Saul and his own son Absalom, but he confronted a more stronger enemy of sin. So, David's deliverance and that of ours transcend deliverance from physical adversa...

Do we often see repentance as a heavy burden, when in fact it can be a pathway into God's joy? In Psalm 51, David models heartfelt repentance following Nathan's rebuke in 2 Samuel 12. We look at 3 key lessons from David's example and how we can apply them in our own lives today. Passage; Psalm 51 Series; The Psalms Summer Series Speaker; Sam Neal Date; 8/17/25

We all sometimes face seasons in our lives that feel dry and parched, like a desert. But where can we find sanctuary in the midst of these desert situations? Through Jesus, we are able to receive the gift of God’s sanctuary even whilst we are facing difficult things. He is waiting to welcome us into His sanctuary, and to lift our eyes to a future hope when every tear will be wiped away and there w...

David, fleeing Jerusalem because of Absalom's rebellion, meets Barzillai - a wealthy man who gives generously to keep David's weary men going. We look into the heart posture of Barzillai and the impact his generosity has on David, and how we might apply this in our lives today. Passage; 2 Samuel 17:27-29; 2 Samuel 19:31-40; 1 Kings 2:7 Series; The Rise of King David Speaker; Ed Farrow Date...

We look at David’s interaction with Shimei and what it can teach us about God’s forgiveness for us and our forgiveness of others. Passage; 2 Samuel 16; 2 Samuel 19 Series; The Rise of King David Speaker; Becky Webb Date; 08/03/25
