We continue our series, Name Above All Names, looking at some of the names for God in the Bible. This week, we will be looking at Adonai, which is Hebrew for 'Lord' or 'Master'. We'll focus on what that might mean for us today.

We continue our Name Above All Names series, looking at some of the names for God in the Bible.

We continue our Name Above All Names series, looking at some of the names for God in the Bible. In this talk we'll be looking at the names El Shaddai and Jehovah Jireh, two covenantal names we find in Genesis within a few chapters of each other. 

We continue our current series, Name Above All Names, looking at some of the names for God in the Bible. This week, we will look at The Good Shepherd, an image that’s all through scripture, yet what does it mean for us today?

Lilian Dodza is the Regional Vice President and Regional Director at World Vision East Africa, and currently worships at Nairobi Chapel in Kenya. We're excited to have Lilian share some of her story and how we might join with the wider church in looking beyond our own circles, out into the world. 

We kick off our new series, Name Above All Names, looking at God's name 'I AM'.

Before the wind. Before the fire. Before the languages. There was waiting... Listen as we unpack who is the Holy Spirit and what does the Spirit do? We’ll ground ourselves in Acts 2 — not just to understand what happened then, but to ask: How might this speak into our lives now?

As we continue our series, we'll be looking at the power of confession and how to live a life of wholeness and transformation. 

In this talk, we turn to the Letter to the Hebrews. We look at what is tells us about who we are and where we find ourselves, and ask what it looks like to run the race with perseverance, despite difficulties. The passage (Heb 12:1-14 ESV) also offers encouragement and hope, as well as honesty, as we reflect on what this means for our lives.

As we continue our new series, we'll be looking at how we can bring all parts of ourselves into the healing presence of God.

How can we live more fully into the Resurrection story? By allowing the Spirit to transform every aspect of our lives - mind, body, soul and spirit. In this post-Easter series, we will be asking God to heal and renew us so that our lives might bring glory to His name, living out the Easter story with every fibre of our being and letting the resurrection seep into every area of our lives.

We are reflecting on our post-Easter season and suggesting that the resurrection often matters most in times of chaos and confusion. 

Christ is Risen!

This week is Palm Sunday, the day we celebrate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. In this talk, we explore what Palm Sunday means to us.

This week, our Lenten journey explores the theme of humility. In a world where our popularity feels graded by the size of our platform and reach, the example of Jesus shows a different truth at the heart of the universe. 

This Sunday, we continue our Lent journey with the Desert Fathers and Mothers, exploring a counter-intuitive truth: that true wisdom can often look like foolishness to the world. Join us as we consider what it truly means to build our lives on the rock and what that means for church life today.

This Sunday, we will continue our Desert Mothers and Fathers series. We will explore the wilderness as a place of self-denial and unpack the dangers of materialism by focusing on the heavenly treasure Jesus talked about in his most famous sermon.

We continue our Lenten journey using Lectio 365 and 24/7 Prayer’s Desert Mothers and Fathers series. We’ll reflect on the practices of silence and solitude - exploring their relevance for our lives today, along with both the challenges they present and the fruit they can bear.

We join together with other churches around the world for the Lectio 365 and 24-7 Prayer's Desert Mothers and Fathers Lent series. The next forty days of Lent are a time to enter the wilderness with Christ, to push into prayer and deepen our spiritual formation. This talk is an intro to this six-week series leading up to Easter. You can watch the Desert Mothers and Fathers - Wisdom in the Desert v...

This week we wrap up our 'Songs of the Times' series with one final song. We will be looking at the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 and how we find our way home.

We're taking a look at another contemporary song that gets us thinking about the routines of everyday life. We'll explore what it has to say about how we see our work and whether we're really living with purpose. You can watch the Sabrina Carpenter music video of Thumbs here: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAVUl0cAKpo

Jesus told His followers to pay attention to the signs of the times — to notice what was happening beneath the surface of culture. Today, one of the clearest signs of the times isn’t found in headlines; it’s found in our playlists. We’re beginning a new series called Songs of the Times. Each week, we’ll take a modern, secular song that’s resonating in our wider culture and ask what our songs say a...

For our first service of 2026, we take a look at the astonishing outcome when a bunch of fishermen invite Jesus onto their boat.

Listen in as we continue our Unexpected series in the lead up to Christmas.
