How do you act around your friends? Your workmates? Your family? Tonight we talk about what it means to be watchmen in a lighthouse and how vital our actions are to drawing those around us to Christ.

Reading through the end of Exodus and Leviticus in your Bible is something most people find boring or dry. That's because you need to dig below the surface if you want to find diamonds. Join us for the 3rd part of our series as we explore how the materials of the tabernacle point to Christ in ways that are anything but dry and boring.

If you knew there was an assassin coming to kill you; if you knew their name, would you invite them into your home? Would you welcome them or eat with them? It seems insane, but that's exactly what Samson, and later Gedaliah, both did. It's what we often do when sin comes knocking on our own doors...

What do you believe in about God? Your relationship with Him? What do you believe He says about you and about Himself? Tonight, we follow the journey of Simon Peter and unpack what it means to seek the truth of what makes up our convictions

Warfare is a strong theme in the Old Testament. Join us this week for the second part of our series as we explore the Israelites victory at the walls of Jericho and see how that applies to the spiritual war we're still fighting today.

When we look at the Old Testament we see so many people, places, animals rituals, and objects that don't quite seem to make sense on their own. They were just a shadow, an outline, of the real thing - Jesus Christ

God created us for more than to study, work, get married, retire and die. But to discover our true purpose we have to be willing to answer one difficult question: "what breaks my heart?"

When Jesus was crucified, there were 2 criminals crucified on either side of him. Each of them had a choice of how to react to Jesus; the exact same choice we all still face today.

This week we look at sin, and the consequences it could have on our lives. What is sin? Why do we sin? Sin will blind, bind and grind you.

This week we explore three crucial actions in psalm 1: sitting, walking and standing, and we look at what they mean for us as Christians today and how each of them can lead us closer to God.

It's a common word that we see in the Bible, but what does it actually mean? This week we explore the holiness of God and His calling for us to find our purpose and identity by being like Him - by being holy.

How many of us go to church? How many of us know how to sing the songs, say the right words, close our eyes and lift our hands? A wise man once said "it's easy to act like a Christian, but it's hard to react like a Christian". Have we made a commitment to following Jesus that goes beyond just the Sunday morning? Or are we just playing church? Have a listen and be challenged.

This week we wrap up our Bible Series by going through a summary of the New Testament timeline and how the arrival of Jesus (the promised king of the Old Testament) changed the course our world forever. Have a listen to see how the Old and New Testament tell the same continuous story of God's love and redemption and how needed it is for our lives today.

Join us this week for a rapid fire summary of the story of the Old Testament (the first half of the bible you have today). We talk about its history, events and writers, and we explore how it fits in with the bigger story that God is trying to tell the world; the story of a loving Father who wants to be reconciled to His children.

The Bible doesn't sugar coat anything; it calls everything out for what it really is. This week we look at the character of King David - a man who God described as being "a man after His own heart". And yet David made such serious mistakes in his life. How do we reconcile these 2 extremes in David (and in us)? Have a listen to this week's message to find out.

Bread? Water? A sword? What do all these thing have in common? They're just some of the ways that God chooses to describe His word (the bible), and they all have very practical applications for us today. Join us this week as we explore these and other examples of what the bible is to us today.

What do you put your trust in? Is it your intellect? Your emotions? Friends and family? Or is it God? This week we explore how our trust in ourselves can often fail us, and what it really means to trust God wholeheartedly with our lives.

This Christmas, we look at how God's plan to save the world and redeem us started with a poor, unmarried teenage girl from the middle nowhere. God's plans can seem crazy and ridiculous to us, but His plans are always perfect and His promises always come true

This week, we reflect on what it means to say that we love Jesus and how that needs to translate in our daily walk.

Do you know or have you ever allowed yourself to think about what Jesus had to endure to take away your sin? This week we re-live the last few hours of Christ's life here in on earth and walk with Him to the cross.

Have you ever wondered whether giving up everything and following Christ was really worth it? Have you ever wished your life was like everyone else in the world? Well, so did Asaph in psalm 73. This week we discuss what it means to follow Christ and why there's nothing more worthwhile.

Who is Jesus, really? This week, we look at the character of Jesus, and how His presence, whether in the depths of sorrow or the height of joy, always leads to a 'wow' moment.

Join us this week for the final part of our journey series, where we talk about the promised land in the Old Testament and the sure hope of God's promise of a home in heaven for those who believe and trust Him today, and how we should live in light of that hope.

Join us this week for the second part of our journey series, where we talk about the time that Israel spent wandering in the desert before reaching the promised land, and how their attitude and actions in that place compare with our day to day lives as Christians walking through the world today.

The book of Jonah talks about a prophet with a task from God He didn't want to do. Jonah was stubborn, hard hearted and judgemental - and the hard reality is that sometimes we are too. Listen to this week's message and learn from Jonah's mistakes.
