You don’t have to reject God to drift from Him—you just have to replace Him. This week, we look at how good things like success, security, or relationships can slowly take centre stage in our lives. The result? A divided heart and a restless soul. Jesus shows us how to re-centre what matters most. (Matthew 6:19–24). Neil shares his thoughts: Anna and Angie are your hosts. NB: the video clip referr...

Why do small issues turn into big problems? In this opening message, we explore how unresolved anger quietly creates distance between us and God—and how what we leave unaddressed can shape our lives more than we realise. If something feels “off” in your relationships or your faith, this could be why. Ephesians 4:25–32

The Bible teaches that the Christian life involves a spiritual battle. Prayer is one of the key ways we stand firm in that battle. In this final message of our series based on the Prayer Course from 24-7 Prayer, Martin and Jen explore the idea of spiritual warfare and the armour of God described in Ephesians 6. Rather than creating fear, the Bible shows that prayer connects us to the strength and...

Is prayer a one-way conversation, or does God still speak today? In this message we explore listening prayer — learning to recognise God’s voice and guidance. The Bible teaches that God speaks primarily through Scripture, but also through the gentle prompting of the Holy Spirit. Looking at Jesus’ words in John 10, we discover that followers of Jesus can learn to recognise the voice of the Good She...

Prayer is often thought of as talking to God — but it also involves learning to be still in God’s presence. In this message we explore contemplative prayer, the practice of slowing down and becoming aware of God’s presence. In a world full of noise, distraction, and hurry, learning to pause before God can be deeply transformative. Looking at Psalm 46 and Jesus’ invitation to abide in Him, we disco...

What happens when we pray and nothing seems to change? What do we do when God seems silent? In this message we tackle one of the hardest questions people face: why does God sometimes seem not to answer prayer? Looking at the story of the apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12, we discover that unanswered prayer is something the Bible speaks about honestly — and that even in silence, God is still present...

Prayer isn’t only about our own needs — it’s also about praying for others. In this message we explore intercession, the practice of bringing the needs of others before God. The Bible calls believers to pray for friends, communities, leaders, and even the world. Looking at 1 Timothy 2, we discover how prayer connects us to God’s mission and grows compassion in our hearts. Part of our series based...

Is it okay to ask God for things? And does prayer really make any difference? In the Lord’s Prayer Jesus teaches us to pray, “Give us today our daily bread.” This shows us that God cares about the everyday details of our lives. In this message we explore petition — bringing our needs and requests to God. Looking at the Lord’s Prayer, we discover that prayer is not about manipulating God but about...

Mary’s life changed in an instant when a sudden “thunderclap” headache revealed a brain bleed doctors couldn’t fully explain. In this episode, she and her husband David share their journey through crisis, recovery, and the incredible support of community and prayer that carried them through.

When we pray, it’s easy to jump straight into our requests. But Jesus teaches us that prayer begins somewhere else — with worship. In this message we explore the power of adoration, the practice of turning our attention toward who God is before asking for anything. Using Psalm 103, we discover how gratitude and praise reshape our perspective and deepen our relationship with God. Part of our series...

Prayer can feel mysterious, intimidating, or even pointless if we’re honest. Why pray if God already knows everything? And what difference does prayer really make? In this opening message of our series based on the Prayer Course from 24-7 Prayer, we explore Jesus’ invitation to prayer and discover that prayer is not a religious performance but a relationship with our heavenly Father. Looking at Lu...
