The Signs of the Times - Sunday 23rd August 2026 23.08.2026

When the religious leaders of his day come demanding a sign from Jesus, he rebukes them for knowing how to interpret a red sunrise or sunset, but not knowing how to interpret the signs of their times.

Abram is now 99 years old, but God reaffirms His amazing promise to him of countless descendants via his 89-year-old wife, Sarai.

No Greater Love - Sunday 31st May 2026 31.05.2026

Our culture idolises different types of love. But Jesus said there was no greater love than sacrificial love for one’s friends.

Join us this Sunday 31st as Carlie Chapman helps us explore this powerful...
