Howard talks about why we need to be a witness for Jesus and gives three examples from the New Testament of the different ways we can be a witness, through words and actions.  Howard also ask’s us if we are a witness for Jesus in or lives.   

Simon wants to remind us how important first impressions are when it comes to the fundamentals of Jesus's teachings. How the gospel plays a big part in those first impressions.

Following on from Tony Shaw' s God is Still in control podcast from last week, we here the other side of the story from Becki's perspective.

Through a difficult week, Tony reminds us that God is Still in control.

Mark asks , "How changeable are we?" Everything around us changes, but are we willing to change. Mark talks about Elijah and how everything around him changed, but he didn't turn against God. We need to remember what's important. Remember wherever we find ourselves in life. God is with you. He never leaves us. We are saved by grace by God's amazing grace, by the goodness of God.

Jo reminds us that we are all specially and specifically gifted by God to fulfil his work here on earth, serving him in our churches and local communities. However, we must be eager, ready and available to live out this calling.

Feet. They get our body to the place where service is needed by learning that we need to sit at His feet Worship at His feet Serve at His feet and with Joy Follow in His footsteps.

On this father's day, Tony asks us the simple question Do we know the Father? We are reminded of the love in God, the Fathers heart, how God the Father wants to spend time with us.

There is power in the name of Jesus to answer our prayers & bring about change. This message is based on the song "I speak Jesus" written by Here be lions.

As Mark refers to the scripture where God calls Samuel, we are asked if we are listening to God, are we in tune to God listening out for when he calls us. God is interested in us, and that is why he was willing to send Jesus to die for us. Is Jesus beside us no matter what we are going through.

On Pentecost Sunday, Jo reminds us of the need to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and the importance of being found in Christ if we are to share gods love to those around us

Is God bothered about the little things. Yes, he is. David was the smallest and littlest in his family. Yet he killed the biggest giant Goliath. The shepherd was bothered about the lost sheep, he will be bothered about us. Zacchaeus was little, but God was bothered about him. God was in control of the situation with Joseph, the little things as big things can happen. We need to listen to the quite...

Today, Howard talks about anointing. In the OT this was a physical act involving the smearing, rubbing, or pouring of sacred oil on someone’s head (or on an object) as an outward symbol that God had chosen and set apart the person (or object) for a specific holy purpose. In the NT, Jesus Christ reveals Himself as our anointed King, Priest, and Prophet. He is God’s Holy and chosen Son, the Christ (...

Is forgiveness a problem in your life that's holding you back from having peaceful relationships? Here is a deep dive into what the Bible has to say about that.

Let’s take a closer look at two New Testament bible characters, Zacchaeus and Saul, and see what we can learn from their encounters with Jesus. This will lead us to ask ourselves 3 questions: Who Jesus really is? Is it time to meet Jesus personally? What would Jesus have you do for Him?

Do you believe in a god who is active today in life's events or just in an 'ordinary' God? Looking at the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 we see how we can have Confidence in a Living God.

Remember that when we can’t God can.. In life’s difficulties, when we think that God has abandoned us it’s time to dwell on his goodness..

On this Easter message, Colin reflects on the fact Jesus is alive by sharing some thoughts on the tomb, on the resurrection on and seeing Jesus.

In his message Tony spoke about the point of view of the Centurion at the cross and one of the thieves on the cross.

How do we make an impact as individuals and as a church? Drawing upon scripture from Acts 8, Jo reminds us that there are people in our lives who are yet to encounter Jesus and therefore challenges us to be more like Philip the Evangelist.

Mom's are special.
