Neville explains how the resurrection stands at the centre of the Christian faith, changing everything by bringing real hope, certainty, forgiveness of sins, and the promise of personal, bodily li...

This message explores Acts 13 and asks a vital question: what is the church for? Focusing on the start of Paul’s first missionary journey, it highlights the church’s identity as a diverse, Spirit-filled community united under Christ.

This preach explores how God works through both the big gatherings of the church and the small, everyday relationships that shape real discipleship. Drawing from Acts 2 and the example of Priscilla and Aquila, Paul reflects on years of church life, obedience, and church planting, reminding us that growth comes through doing life together. He calls the church to move from spectating to participatin...

This Christmas message explores the “unbelievable” elements of the nativity story - stars, wise men, angels, prophecy, and dreams - and shows how they all point to Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 2, Tobi Ford-Western highlights how God uses both science and the supernatural to lead people from every background to Christ, contrasting the seeking faith of the wise men with the indifference of those who...

In this preach, Matt concludes The Truth series by emphasizing that Jesus himself is the ultimate truth, and that Christians are called to hold fast to the gospel while avoiding distractions from false ideas or societal trends.

This message explores Jesus’ call to worship in spirit and in truth, using His encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. It reminds us that every human being is made for worship, and that our hearts naturally drift toward false gods - identity, success, beauty, power - unless we return to the One we were created for. True worship requires both truth - knowing who God really is, and Spirit -...

The month of November is the time for our Care Campaign and in this powerful message from Isaiah 61, Tim unpacks the good news of Jesus - the one who binds up the brokenhearted, lifts the poor, and restores devastated lives. We explore how Christ’s mission becomes our mission through the Holy Spirit, and how the church is called to reflect His compassion in practical ways.

In this message, Tobi continues The Truth series with a sermon titled “Walking in the Truth.” Drawing from Psalm 86:11, he explores what it truly means to walk with God - through joy, pain, stumbling, standing firm, and even seasons of waiting. With honesty and hope, Tobi reminds us that Jesus not only invites us to walk with Him but has already walked the path before us. Whether you’re running st...

In this message from The Truth series, Tobi Ford-Western unpacks what Jesus meant when He said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). He explores how truth isn’t just an idea or belief - but a person: Jesus Himself. True freedom isn’t found in doing whatever we want, but in knowing Christ, who frees us from sin, addiction, and deception. This sermon calls us to li...

In this message, Matt Simmonds explores what it means for Jesus to be “full of grace and truth” by unpacking John 1. In a world of lies, mistrust, and broken promises, he reminds us that God’s truth is not only objective reality but also relational faithfulness. Through Jesus, we see God’s steadfast love and covenant loyalty revealed - a foundation we can truly build our lives on.

In this message, Matt Carvel explores Jesus’ powerful words, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). In a world searching for wisdom and meaning, he reminds us that true life and lasting peace are found not in philosophy or self-help, but in knowing the person of Jesus. Through His compassion and faithfulness, Jesus offers hope for today and the promise of an eternal home with the Fat...

In this talk, Tobi Ford-Western explores one of the most important questions of faith: Can we trust the Bible? Drawing from John 17:17, he examines historical, textual, prophetic, and eyewitness evidence for the reliability of Scripture, showing how both the Old and New Testaments stand up to scrutiny. Tobi highlights how fulfilled prophecy, extra-biblical sources, and the testimony of the discipl...

This is a powerful reminder that because Christ is alive, everything (our lives, our strugg...

In this sermon, Matt Carvel explores what it means to hold fast to the truth of Jesus in a post-truth culture. Drawing from Philippians 2:12-18, he challenges us to stop defining our own “truth” and instead receive God’s truth through His Word, living as children of God who shine as lights in a crooked and twisted generation. It’s a call to depend daily on Jesus, reject grumbling, and root our liv...

In this preach, Neville Jones looks at the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 17 to show what it means to live by faith when hope feels delayed, disappointment sets in, or mystery surrounds us. He calls us to trust God’s unceasing provision, even when circumstances seem bleak, and to step out in faith, knowing Christ offers abundant life. This is a message of encouragement to keep believing, keep receiving...

In this preach, based on Psalm 130, Matt Simmonds explains that sin is more than a few mistakes - it’s a powerful force that leads to brokenness, guilt, and helplessness, with both temporary and eternal consequences. Yet in the depths of our failure, God offers steadfast love and plentiful redemption through Jesus’ sacrifice, wiping away all sin and granting true freedom. Our awareness of sin is e...
