Life is full of choices—some small and simple, others big and life-changing. In those tough moments, making the right decision can feel overwhelming. All throughout the Bible, people came to Jesus for guidance, asking Him questions and seeking His wisdom. He was the perfect counsellor. But Jesus knew His time on earth was short, so out of His deep love for us, He made sure we wouldn’t be left on o...

The sending out of the apostles from Antioch in Acts ch 13, empowered for the first great missionary journey, is a wonderful example of what can happen when the Holy Spirit is leading and directing things.  But what was it that made this church and its leaders ready to be entrusted with such a great commission?  The answers are found in Acts ch 11, which describes the roots and foundations of this...

As we continue in our Extra-Ordinary series this week Mike dives into the powerful relationship between the Holy Spirit and Scripture. We explore how the Spirit works through the Word, guiding us in understanding and discerning God’s voice for both general and specific situations. We look at the importance of Scripture as both a foundational anchor and a filter to help us hear the Spirit clearly i...

Peace—it’s something we all need. For some, it’s about finding peace for the first time; for others, it’s about returning to it. In today’s world, peace is needed in every area of our lives. But here’s the good news: peace isn’t just something you find when life is easy. It can show up right in the middle of your struggles, in the midst of your stressful days. In this message Ovi shares about how...

Our daily invitation from The Lord is to Lay Down, Be Still and Stand Strong. Being empty of everything else enables us to be full of the Holy Spirit and His extraordinary life and power overflows from within us!

Today we consider how God was present with people at the beginning, breathing life into Adam and walking with them in the garden. Today, God is primarily present with His people by His Holy Spirit, freely given to every believer. This gift is to be received in order that we can enjoy His presence.

In this message we start to explore the Person of the Holy Spirit, by considering Him as our Closest Friend and our Comforter.  

Listen back to Stephen's message from Market Harborough on Sunday 2nd February. He speaks about the person of the Holy Spirit and how important it is to be baptised in the Holy Spirit. 

In the second part of these introductory messages we consider some choices, actions and habits that will play an essential part in helping us stay full of the Holy Spirit.  In it all, we are reminded that life in the Spirit is a day-by-day relationship, and that He wants us to draw close to Him and know Him as our Greatest Friend.

As we start a new year, we take a fresh look at the great need for Jesus's church to be filled with His Spirit.  In part 1 of these introductory messages, we see that everything that ultimately matters begins with a move of the Spirit, and we explore what that meant for the ministry for Jesus and for the mission of the early church.  And in the stories of two lame men miraculously healed (Mark 2 a...

Our culture has three words: me, me, me! But are these the words that people who know God, who have seen his goodness and who can experience relationship with Him want to be defined by? What are the three words that we might choose to define us?

Christmas is a Christian celebration. Whatever society might think it is, at the core it is a festival about the word becoming flesh - a beautiful truth! Christmas is ours, so how should we celebrate it? In this message Mike and Lisa share 10 simple ways that we can see Christmas as ours; cutting through all the noise of this time of year, brushing off the pressure and expectations and simply cele...

We are all part of the body and we all have a function, a God-given ability and a part to play. 1 Corinthians 12 talks about some of these things and in this message Stephen unpacks them for us; he shares about how we can prepare to share and how the body is strengthened when we all contribute. This message is part of our 'Gather' series. 

During Jesus' baptism, God the father declares “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased”. Do you know that we are also children of God? When we give our life to Jesus and ask him to be our Lord and Saviour we become children of God. The enemy will always try to make you question if you are really saved, if God really loves you, if he really listens when you pray... He is fighting t...

As we conclude our three-part series, this time we consider our purpose and identity as God’s image-bearers. God created mankind, as male and female to reflect His nature, in similar and in differing ways from each other. Not only to enjoy a complimentary partnership with each other, but to relate to each other through Him, thus enjoying the joy of trinity!  

Continuing our series, Gather, we arrive at 1 Corinthians 13 and consider Paul’s encouragement to put things in order and love one another with priority, purpose and power!

As we continue our three-part series exploring how and why we’re made in God’s image (Ge 1:26), in this second part we explore the heavenly culture created by the relationships between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, including how their distinction determines their roles. 

In this message, Arne encourages us to understand that as Christians we belong to Christ, that He has filled us with His Holy Spirit, and that we are His body here on earth. As the salt of the earth and the light of the world, we are here to carry out the plan God has for us as the mouth and hands of Jesus to those around us.

As we begin the first in a three-part series exploring how and why we’re made in God’s image (Ge 1:26), we start our journey with an understanding of who God is, in Himself. He is One (De 6:4) and yet He is also three Persons (Mt 3:16-17). In this message we consider God’s triune nature seen through the Scriptures, the three essential pillars of trinitarian truth, and why this matters if we’re to...

Tim and Holly share about what it means to be known by God, loved as his own, and the purpose, identity and security this brings.

David continues in our Gather series in 1 Corinthians 11-14, this time looking at how the heavenly realms impact and influence the way we gather together. 

In today’s message we consider 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 and the powerful way in which we are called to gather to share in the Lord’s Supper. We gather within God's holy, magnificent New Covenant, together. We gather honouring the Body of Christ - recognising the high value of who each one of us is in Christ. We gather worthily - repenting and restoring so that together we enjoy the liberating, signi...

Listen again to this message from Market Harborough as we start a new short series in 1 Corinthians focussing on how we gather.

Tim takes shows us how David, as a boy and a king, knew that his God and our God, is the God of the impossible.

In this message we spend some time considering the hallmarks of Biblical leadership, from the pattern set by Jesus before entrusting His continued work to His disciples (Mt 28:18-20). We also explore the gifts He gave from His ministry, when His returned to the Father (Eph 4:7-16), to equip all of us in the body of Christ to grow up into all we’re called to be, so that His body ‘builds itself up i...
