Steve Deal speaks on The Death of Death — the second in a series on what the Bible actually teaches about life after death. Steve opened by tracing a chain of eighteen scriptures running from Genesis to Revelation in which the consequence of rejecting God is consistently named as one thing: death. Not eternal torment. Death. He argued that when Christians redefine words like death, destruction, an...

Johnny Harris speaks on Kingdom Love: Loving Your Enemies (Matthew 5:43-48) In our ongoing series through the Sermon on the Mount, we explored Jesus’ radical sixth command: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Jesus contrasts the common teaching of His day (“love your neighbour and hate your enemy”) with the kingdom standard — a love that is indiscriminate and reflects the cha...

Iven Sanchez speaks from Genesis around the story of Joseph. Few stories in Scripture capture the tension between suffering and sovereignty quite like Joseph's. Thrown into a pit by his own brothers, sold into slavery, falsely accused by Potiphar's wife, and left to rot in prison — Joseph's life, from the outside, looked like anything but a God-story. And yet at the end of it all, stan...

In this episode , we explore what the Bible actually says about the human person, the soul, and what happens when we die. Where did the idea of a naturally immortal soul come from — and is it even biblical? We trace how Greek philosophy quietly shaped Christian thinking, what Scripture consistently says about death, and why resurrection matters more than we might realise. These aren't salvatio...

Steve speaks on  The White Stone  — a message about identity, and the names we carry that were never meant for us. He opened with a simple but penetrating question:  Who are you — really?  Not the version you perform at work or hold together at parties. Not the name your worst mistake gave you, or the label your past stuck to your chest. The real you. He traced the root of our identity crisis back...

Candice Hewitt brings a rich and thought-provoking message for Pentecost Sunday. A couple of highlights worth catching on the podcast: “Hosanna” — One Word, Two Prayers Candice unpacked the meaning of hosanna, revealing that this single word carries a dual weight: it is simultaneously a cry of desperation — God, save me — and an expression of praise. One word doing two things at once. It’s a remin...

Through the stories of Israel, Abraham, Saul, Judas and Elijah, Steve unpacks what happens when we can't wait on God's timing — and what's possible when we do. Honest, raw and deeply practical. Don't give up on Friday or Saturday when Sunday is still coming.

Here's a recap of the message: This past Sunday Paul Hannan gave a powerful, heartfelt message on the true nature of generous giving — and how, in Christ, it shifts from obligation to overflow. Paul opened with a brilliant illustration: imagine being invited to a friend's home for dinner, enjoying great food and fellowship, only to be stopped at the door and charged 10% of the meal's v...

A month ago, Steve spoke on the war ON your worship. This Podcast is "the war FOR your worship." He began by establishing that the physical world is not the whole picture — there is a spiritual realm overlapping this one where a war is actively being fought over human worship. Fallen spiritual beings crave worship not because they think they deserve it, but because they've witnessed...

Johnny Harris preached a powerful sermon titled “The King’s View of Scripture,” expounding Matthew 5:17-20. He presented Jesus as the King who did not abolish the Law and the Prophets but fulfilled them completely—obeying them perfectly, teaching their heart intent, and bringing them to their prophetic goal. Using four clear truths (the preeminence, permanence, pertinence, and purpose of God’s law...

That is not the question. Steve unpacks what he believes New Testament giving is about. It's not about arguing whether tithing is Old Testament or New. It's simply about your heart. Does God have it or not. It doesn't matter if you give a penny or a fortune. A Spirit led life is more important than any arguments on methodology.

Ben and Sarah Potter lead a night of worship and reflection around Psalm 23

Johnny Harris speaks of The King’s Call To Influence the World Jesus calls every believer to influence the world as salt and light.  In a morally decaying and spiritually dark world, Christians are sent to make a vital difference.  This teaching follows the Beatitudes and applies even in the face of persecution. Believers are in the world but not of it—called to remain distinct while engaging soci...

Bek leads a night of reflection on the scriptures and worship

Bek Deal leads a worship night with some powerful scriptures sprinkled throughout.

Steve speaks about Samaria — and what it means for the places inside us we'd rather go around than through. He opened by asking a simple question: what do you know about Samaria? And then unpacked three New Testament moments where Samaritans show up and consistently outperform the religious insiders — the Good Samaritan who stops when the priest and Levite don't, the one grateful leper who...

Steve Deal speaks about  The War for Your Worship . The core truth: worship isn't just devotion — it's a formative force. You become like what you behold. Worship an idol and you slowly become less. Worship God and you become more of who you were designed to be. The first distracted worshipper wasn't human. Lucifer's glance at his own glory became a gaze, and a gaze became a throne...

Bek leads us through a time of worship and waiting on God.

At sunrise on Easter Sunday, Steve unpacks a Greek word —  anthrakia  — which means charcoal fire. It appears only twice in the entire New Testament, both times in John's Gospel, both times with Peter standing nearby. The first is the night of Peter's denial. It's cold, there's a charcoal fire burning in the courtyard, and Peter warms his hands at it while he disowns Jesus three ti...

On Good Friday, Steve spoke about how we create God in our image rather than the other way around. He opened by painting a picture of Judas — likely connected to the Zealots, an armed revolutionary movement — who had spent three years watching Jesus command storms, heal the sick, walk on water, and dismantle the Pharisees with a sentence. When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to the crowd&...

The Pike Effect: Steve Deal speaks about an old experiment conducted in the 1950s involving a pike fish. Scientists placed the pike in a tank with minnows, then inserted a glass partition. The pike lunged repeatedly, failed repeatedly, and eventually gave up. When the scientists removed the glass, the minnows swam freely around it — and the pike starved to death surrounded by everything it needed...

Johny Harris kicks off a series in "The Sermon on the Mount" with the first instalment - Kingdom Happiness. Johnny declares that Matthew's gospel burns with one blazing purpose, to unveil Jesus the King. Starting in Matthew 5:1-12 The Sermon on the Mount rings out like a royal decree unveiling the breathtaking principles of the Kingdom of God. The Sermon on the Mount is His royal man...

Steve Deal speaks about the story we are all born into — the grand biblical narrative running from Eden to the New Jerusalem. Using Genesis 12 as his launching pad, he argues that God's promise to Abraham only makes sense when you understand everything that preceded it: Lucifer's rebellion, the fall, the corruption of humanity in Genesis 6, the flood, and the scattering of the nations at B...

Steve Deal speaks about the calling of Abram in Genesis 12 — and how the story of one man leaving everything behind in ancient Iraq is really the story of every person who has ever heard God's voice and struggled to follow it. He unpacked the world Abram was living in: Ur of the Chaldeans, one of the most powerful cities on earth, built around the worship of a false god. God didn't call Ab...

This past Sunday, Steve unpacked Genesis 10–11, focusing on Babel and its lasting ripple effects. At Babel, humanity united in prideful rebellion—building a tower to make a name for themselves and defy God’s command to fill the earth. God confused their language and scattered them, dividing one people into 70 nations (Genesis 10’s Table of Nations).The concept that those nations were assigned to s...
