John 4: 1 - 42. What's your story? Do you have one? The Samaritan woman's testimony (story) saved and transformed lives in the town of Sychar. That power is in you - Jesus lives in you, the Holy Spirit lives in and guides you, and you are a bold man and woman of God! When your story is told, will Jesus be at its centre?

EACH ONE BRING ONE! A personal invite goes a long way to opening door for people to encounter jesus. As we shine our light in a dark world we discover the power of a positive invite . In this message we receive practical steps and opportunities to shine by taking an invite to a neighbour! Lets pray to God for a great return on these efforts!!

Hospitality is such a gift and so important that elders and deacons must have this gift to be appointed. For the saints God requires us to show hospitality to strangers i.e. those not yet in the house of God. This week we look at the power of hospitality to be a table for the lost, a door to bring reconciliation, a place for the broken and a place for the presence of Jesus!

Hope in a Hopeless world: This message points us to God... who is hope! When things seem lost and all hope is gone Romans 15:13 is a great verse to fix our eyes on God in tough times as he is our Hope. a Game changer when applied!

We're called to have the mind of Christ but in order to do so we have a personal responsibility and accountability to apply the truth of God's word in partnership with the Holy Spirit. To change our minds and make different choices. Our personal pursuance of a healthy mind has an impact on the Body of Christ and how we can become of One Mind despite our differences. So let's look at how we apply t...

Every Church must be known as a House of Prayer (Matthew 21: 13). There is a time to pray alone, and other times we are called to come together and be ONE in prayer. The early church often met and prayed as one. Why not listen, as Thabani shares the importance of praying together - Matthew 18: 19 - 20

In 1 Timothy 4:14, Paul instructs Timothy not to neglect his gift. Whether it's through fear, discouragement or ignorance, we need to be aware of the impact that neglecting our gift can have on others not just us. He has given us both natural and supernatural gifts to be used for His glory. But it's when we know the gift giver that we value the gift all the more. This morning's message encourages...

Holding the mystery of the faith is not for the esoteric (not only for the elders, bishops or deacons), it is for us all. This mystery was solved 2,000 years ago. Listen to the message as we consider what the Bible says on the mystery solved!

Sharing our faith is sharing our story and His story where they collided in you and I accepting Jesus as our Lord and Saviour... But this great message is not just for us! In this week's preach, we look at how we can effectively share this message as encouraged to do so in 1 Tim 2!

Matt Rees opens this new series for us as we look at 1 Timothy starting with chapter 1. Matt looks at who Timothy was and what we can learn from his calling and ministry.
