In week one of House of Prayer, Ps Jimmy explores the biblical vision for a praying people, the mystery and struggle of prayer, the battle for our attention, and the subtle danger of believing in God while living as though everything depends on us. Jesus declared, “My house will be called a house of prayer.” But prayer is more than a meeting we attend or a spiritual discipline we occasionally prac...

The grace of God was never meant to stop with us. In Luke 14, Jesus confronts a table full of insiders and turns their attention to those still outside. From Abraham to Israel, the prophets and ultimately Jesus, we see a consistent pattern: God welcomes, blesses and gathers a people so they can become a blessing to others. In this message, Ps Jimmy explores how the grace we have received from God...

In Mark 10, a rich young ruler comes running to Jesus with a question we all wrestle with: what must I do to inherit eternal life? But what begins as a question about what he must do becomes an invitation to surrender. Stephen unpacks the tension between self-sufficiency and dependence on God, asking not simply what we possess, but what possesses us. Through this encounter, we’re reminded that we...

In Luke 5, Jesus steps into Peter’s ordinary world and calls him into something greater. What begins with access to a boat ends with the surrender of an entire life. Ps Jimmy explores the progression of discipleship from access and obedience to trust, calling and surrender - and the invitation of Jesus that still confronts us today; "leave your past behind and Follow Me.” Intro and Outro musi...

What if God's silence isn't absence, His delay isn't rejection, and the season you don't understand isn't evidence that He's stopped working? Through the story of the Emmaus Road, Ps Jimmy explores the mystery of God and how Jesus meets us in disappointment, corrects our perception, awakens hunger and leads us back into faith and mission.

What are you living for, and what do you love most? In Acts 20 and 26, Paul shows us what happens when the Gospel reorders our loves, reshapes our identity, and gives us a vision worth giving our lives to. Even when Paul had a way out, he chose the chains that came with following Jesus and embracing his mission. Intro and Outro music by artist: Cleb - https://open.spotify.com/artist/4HJTTiOIcuQrhM...

In this episode, Ps Jimmy L’Almont continues our  Filled & Sent  series by unpacking Acts 20 where Paul is addressing the elders of Ephesus as he leaves the city and his instruction on how to sustain the move of God that the city has seen through the move of the Holy Spirit. This message is a powerful follow-up to last week’s message from Acts 19. If you haven’t listened to last week’s message...

What happens when the gospel confronts the deepest allegiances of the human heart? In Acts 19, the same move of God produces two radically different responses. Some openly confess their sins, surrender their idols, and honour the name of Jesus. Others defend what they cannot bear to lose, descending into confusion and revolt. This message explores how the gospel still exposes the true object of ou...

Our Saints Young Adults Leader Hannah Fry walks us through what happened that day, and why one encounter with God can change everything, though He's after so much more than a moment. He wants to bring daily transformati...

Stephen Ranno explores the story of Stephen in Acts 6–7, showing how persecution didn't stop the early church, it became the catalyst for the message of Jesus to spread. In a culture of comfort and self-preservation, this message asks what it really looks like to remain faithful when following Jesus comes at a cost.

The miracle in Acts 3 is more than a healing story. It is a picture of what happens when ordinary people, filled with the Holy Spirit, step into a broken world. The Kingdom of God confronts what the world has learned to tolerate, challenges our reduced expectations, and invites us into a new way of living.

This message explores the life-altering reality of the resurrection, not just as an event we celebrate, but a truth that reshapes how we live. Looking at how Jesus restored Peter after His resurrection, we see that failure, shame, and being “stuck” are not the end of the story. Because He is risen, everything changes: we don’t stay stuck, we don’t pray the same, and we don’t carry ourselves the sa...
