Richard interviews 6 of the everyday heroes who currently call Home Ground their home church!

Transformation means being willing to submit to God and seek to follow Him wherever He leads us. We must never allow our country to replace God in our lives or loyalties.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us... But how do we do this?

Where do we start?  We’ve started by using the Lord’s Prayer to guide us.  In this podcast Debbie looks at the verse “give us this day our daily bread.”  What does that have to do with transforming a country?

David’s struggle with guilt tells us much about a feeling that can be both a friend and an enemy. On Sunday Richard will be looking at this topic and what we can learn about David's struggle.

This week John Benn will be exploring how David battled with depression. Depression is a community issue - not just an individual issue.  What do we need to know and how can we support those we know who are suffering with depression? The bible tells us "to bear one anothers burdens."

Most of us know the story of David killing Goliath. But was that his only battle? David faced many other "Goliaths" in his life - fear, anxiety, depression, guilt. What can we learn from David and his relationship with God that will help us as we fight our own giants?

The book of Haggai is a story of how God loves to partner with His people to rebuild lives, cities and even kingdoms that are in ruins.  One of the hard questions Haggai asks God’s people in Haggai 1:4 is this: “Is it time for you to live in panelled houses, while my house remains in ruins?” or as The Message version says:  “How is it that it’s the ‘right time’ for you to live in your fi...

Sunday is Palm Sunday – the day we remember Jesus arriving in Jerusalem a few days before his death. Jesus is our example of a Capital C Citizen.  He shifted the culture, and He calls us to do the same.
