You've probably heard of the 'greatest showman' film. Critics didn't rate it all that highly... but would Jesus? Adam shares some key gospel messages from the film that express the heart of God in ways we might have missed...

Is God a gambler? We sometimes think we have to make the right combination of 'divine decisions' to get God's favour and our future. Maybe God isn't trying to make things difficult for us though... Adam explores how we listen out for His instructions, things that stop us following them, and one man who could have got his breakthrough much quicker than he did.

After hearing stars and whales joining together in song, Paul explores Psalm 8. The writer knows a God who is infinite, yet intimate; cosmic, but close...

Paul shares about a journey of two grieving friends, who had lost hope and heart. When life comes to meet you, though, many beautiful and powerful things happen... and the good news is this life is within you.

We were blessed to welcome Bill & Sue with us this week, Paul's first spiritual parents. Bill shares a message of vulnerability, hope and healing. We've all carried trauma, because we've all lived life... but there's a restoration available to us if we want it.

Our greatest fear is to be known, but not loved... so we learn to keep secrets. Following Paul's word 'The Naked God', Adam explores the beautiful truth; we can be fully known, and fully loved.

If you've ever felt like you've been spinning plates, trying to keep life from crashing on you, this one's for you. There's one question you have to ask: deal, or no deal?

When Jesus washed the disciples' feet, He was showing us more than just servanthood. Paul shares about a God who is not closed off; not unknown or disconnected... but a God who bares all and allows Himself to be fully known. Can we really risk it all to live that way?

Have you been on 'autopilot' recently? Your mind is incredible, paths get used so many times that your thoughts just glide along them; efficiency at it's best, right? What about 'autopilot' thoughts that steal our joy, peace, or freedom? Here's how you build new tracks...

Adam shares a word he felt prompted to share, rather than what he had planned to this morning. How do we walk forward through all of life's challenges without losing heart?

Adam dives deeper into some keys in our thinking that unlock transformation, and it all starts with something we DO have a choice in - our own mind. Enjoy part 2 of 'choice'.

Ever said the words: 'I had no choice', but really meant: 'I didn’t want to choose either option'? Adam explores the key to transformation, and it all starts with something we DO have a choice in.

We often see our opponent as being armed to the teeth, loaded up with weapons with an attack dog ready to be let off the leash. The truth though, is that he's been disarmed... and Victory is ours. So how do we walk in it?

Are you controlling them, or are they controlling you? Anca shares how we can choose what to do with both fears that keep us alive, and those that stop us truly living.

Adam shares a powerful word on resurrection. Jesus rose so that we might rise, and Adam talks about those sleeping things in our lives that we thought were long gone. The truth is, though, the King brings things back to life every day.

Paul shares a powerful life on the events that began on Good Friday, but also those that happened before the foundation of the world was laid.

Adam shares the next part in the series about honour that began on Mother's Day. You can have doors open and favour flow like never before, but the key is not quite the 'get rich quick' scheme that we like to hear...

Adam shares how favour flows when we honour those who have nurtured us. Do we know how to really honour our fathers and mothers?

Adam & Faye share truth & personal journeys of God placing mothers and fathers around them in many forms, and how He does the same for us. The question often is: do we recognise them?

Paul shares about how we can increasingly flow in God's heart, and focuses especially on when we meet together. Let's overcome those things that hold us back, and release more life as we learn to listen and do.

Following weeks of sharing on re-writing our story and dealing with the 'why' questions, Adam shares about one thing we have to stop, and one thing we need to start. We've all played the blame game when we've been in pain... how is it possible to really forgive?

When life hurts, the first thing we ask is 'why?'. Adam shares how we might never know the reason we were wounded, but asks: Do we want to be healed?

Anca tells a story of two sisters who share the same day, but have extremely different experiences, and how we can continue to re-write our stories through the right author.

Paul shares on being present, being in the moment, and how we can avoid missing what God wants to do. We can give strength to those who need it if we're attentive...

Adam shares the second part of 'the power of story'. This time Adam shares more insight into the way we see ourselves and our experiences, with a powerful practical way we can train to tell our story more like the way He tells it.
