An Easter Sunday message on life and hope.

Following the way of Jesus is both the cross and empty grave.

Tom kicks off our new Easter teaching series, exploring Luke 9 and the key moment where Jesus’ life and ministry turns toward Jerusalem and the events of Holy Week. In this first week, we explore what the Way of Jesus might mean for us as we look to live lives shaped by His.

Jon continues in part two of our vision talks on how we are called to be a people of wide and generous impact for God's kingdom across our city.

Against the wild backdrop of a chaotic and crazy world, we are simultaneously seeing the start of an extraordinarily move of God. What kind of people is Jesus forming us into for a time such as this.

Juliet spoke on Baptism Sunday about what it means to be alive in Christ, using Romans 6.

Tom Teaches us to rediscover the "unbreakable link" between our physical bodies and our spiritual lives as we explore the forgotten practice of fasting. Join us as we learn how denying the body to feed the soul can unlock a new dimension of intimacy, holiness, and breakthrough in our walk with Jesus.

As we conclude our series on the Lords Prayer and head into Lent, Meg James unpacks the practice of fasting for our 6PM gathering, giving us four reasons to fast: To worship God, to amplify our prayers, to grow in holiness and to transform our community.

Trials serve as a revelatory testing ground that exposes whether our hearts are shaped by God’s kingdom or by our own impulsive desires. Rather than relying on fragile willpower, this prayer acknowledges our limits and surrenders our inner cravings to God's protective, saving presence.

In the fourth week in the series 'Teach us to pray' we look at the two lines at the very heart of the Lord's Prayer; forgiveness. We explored firstly the shape of forgiveness in Scripture, what forgiveness looks like, and finally at practically how we do it.

When we pray "give us today our daily bread" Jesus is actually inviting us to ask for more of him. What are the things we need to put down in order to make space fore God to be God?

In the second instalment of our series on the Lord’s Prayer, we look at what it means to have an identity and purpose aligned with the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

Jon introduces our new talk series, Teach Us To Pray, where we'll be using The Lord's Prayer to become kingdom people, bringing our inner and outer worlds into sync with God’s wills and ways. In this first talk, Jon shows us that God is both close and intimate (“Father”) and exalted beyond comprehension (“in heaven”). Prayer begins with a relationship rather than a request, a relationship that is...

Sam kicked off the new year helping us look at the Love God and how God is Love, He reveals His love and His love changes us.

In the next part of our journey through Advent, Chris takes us through the story of Simeon, who had been waiting in eager anticipation for the consolation of his people in the Messiah. Through his example, we see how we can move from a platform mentality where our desires are shaped around us, to a pillars mentality, where our lives become about more than just ourselves - even through the hardest...

Katy reflects on the kind of Joy on offer at Christmas; not a fleeting feeling, but a gift of hope that lasts forever.

In the final part of our Seven Letters series, Jon preaches from Revelation 3:14-22 on the letter to Laodicea. We learn that with Jesus, complete transformation is possible and when he knocks, we just have to answer the door and let him in.

At our baptism celebration, Emily shared what it means to step into the new life that is on offer to each of us when we choose to follow Jesus.

Jon shares a short reflection on how living with a kingdom perspective leads to a life of faith over fear.

Sam preaches on the letters to Thyatira and Sardis, from Revelation 2:18-3:6. Through this passage we see that Jesus desires a church both active in good deeds and wholly devoted to Him in undivided worship and love.

Katy unpacks the letters to the churches in Smyrna and Pergamum. Jesus writes to the churches under the crushing pressure of pain and culture. As we read these letters we encounter His grace; Jesus provides what he commands.

Emily speaks from Revelation 2:1-7 on the letter to Ephesus. The church has forgotten their first love, Jesus himself, and the letter reminds us that the church exists primarily to love Jesus and we should be with Him before we become like Him and do what He did.

Tom introduces us to the book of Revelation as we head into a series on the seven letters to the churches. The opening scene in Revelation; John’s Vision of Jesus, is a vision that should captivate and transform us.
