Sam continue our Rhythm of Renewal series, the theme of WORSHIP as part of our Rhythm of Renewal series, and exploring the practice of daily devotion. As a church, we want to be intentional about how we engage with worship both in our gathered settings and in the scattered rhythms of everyday life. Worship interrupts our routines. It inconveniences our comfort. It recentres us, reminding us of wha...

This week Ade continues with EMPOWER, asking what it looks like to live as a blessing. The Hebrew word for blessing (Barak) means “to empower to strength.” As followers of Jesus, we are invited to pass on God’s blessing to others through words of affirmation, acts of kindness, compassion and tangible gifts. These everyday moments can become sacred expressions of God’s love.

As we continue our Rhythm of Renewal teaching series, we’re seeking to establish a shared rule of life shaped around seven core practices that help us pursue Jesus as a community. This week Terri unpacks the next theme of NEIGHBOUR'ing, exploring what it means to live as people who are sent. We are called to carry the hope of Jesus into the places we live, work, play and learn. This mission is...

As we continue our Rhythm of Renewal teaching series, we’re seeking to establish a shared rule of life shaped around seven core practices that help us pursue Jesus as a community. This week’s theme is EAT — the practice of hospitality. Eating together has been a central Christian practice since the very beginning of our movement. From the early church to today, the table has been a place of fellow...

Paul kicks off our brand-new sermon series: Rhythm of Renewal. Together we’re seeking to establish a shared rule of life shaped around seven core practices that help us pursue Jesus as a community. This week’s practice is READ making space to regularly open the Scriptures and let God’s Word shape our lives. To accompany the series, we’ve created the Rhythm of Renewal booklet to help you journey wi...

In the final part of our  Vision Series: A Church for the City , we explored what it means to be generous towards our city and launched the For the City Fund — a shared resource to bless Milton Keynes and respond to real needs. Listen in as we unpack biblical generosity and how it shapes us as a church for our city.

In Part 2 of our Vision Series, we explore what it means to be a church that serves the city. Drawing from John 13, where Jesus washes His disciples’ feet and calls them to do the same, we unpack how this posture of humility and service shapes who we are and how we live. Join us as we reflect on how following Jesus’ example leads us beyond ourselves — to love and serve our city in practical and sa...

In this episode we kicks off our new Visions Series, A Church for the City where we’re exploring who we are called to be and what God is inviting us to do. In Part 1, we look at what it means to be a church that is for the city, a people shaped not just by what happens inside our walls, but by the needs, hopes, and flourishing of the place we call home.

Paul brings our series to a close by looking at Peter’s restoration in John 21. After the pain of denial, Jesus meets Peter on the shore with grace, forgiveness, and a renewal of his calling. This passage reminds us that failure is never final with Jesus, and just as Peter was recommissioned, we too are invited into a renewed life of discipleship, no matter our past mistakes.

Part three in series exploring the life of Peter, this week’s message takes us into one of the most sobering and human moments in his journey, Peter’s denial of Jesus. We trace the events of that night: Peter’s bold promises, Jesus’ sobering prediction, and the crushing reality of the rooster’s crow. Yet in the midst of denial the gaze of hope is to be found.

Steve continues our series exploring the life of Peter, turning to Matthew 14, where the disciples witness Jesus walking on water — and Peter boldly steps out of the boat to meet Him. As we reflect on this powerful moment, we’re reminded that the adventure of following Jesus is marked by risk, as we step into the unknown and reach for the greatest prize of all: Jesus Himself.

Steve started our new series looking at the life of Peter, starting in Luke 5: 1-11 and the moment Peter first encountered Jesus. Peter’s journey begins not in the synagogue, but in his fishing boat, tired, empty-handed, and unaware that his life is about to change. Jesus doesn’t wait for him to be “ready” or choose him because he was the 'best". Instead He steps on to Peter’s boat at what seems t...

Paul wraps up our Colossians series looking at some of the Apostle Paul’s closing words, covering husbands and wives, parents and children, slaves and masters. On the surface, these verses can feel challenging, but when read in context, we’ll see how Paul is actually subverting the narrative of the Empire and calling the early church into a radically different way of living.

Steve looks at Colossians 3:1–17 and our call to live in light of our new identity in Christ by turning away from our old way of life and embracing a transformed life. Looking at Paul's metaphor of clothing to describe this change and how we are to “take off” the old self and “put on” the new self.

Tammy dives into chapter 2 in our Colossians, reminding us that we don’t need to add anything to our faith to find significance, acceptance or security, and how our identity is found in Christ alone — not in anything else. 

Paul continues our Colossians series, in chapter 1: 15-22, exploring the theme of Christ's supremacy, in a culture that said "Caesar is Lord" 

Steve launches into our new teaching series in Paul's Letter to the Colossians. In this episode we explore the idea of finding hope in the midst of a the prevailing Empire.
