5th April 2026 - Ben O'ReillyEaster is not just meant to move us for a moment. It is meant to change us forever. In this Easter Sunday message from 2 Corinthians 5:13–21, Ben explores what it means that Jesus not only died for all, but was raised again, so that all who live would no longer live for themselves, but for him. Because of the cross and the empty tomb, our debt is cleared, the way t...

3rd April 2026 - Ben O'ReillyGood Friday is not just moving. It is compelling. In this message from 2 Corinthians 5:13–15, we reflect on the love of Christ shown at the cross, a love so great that Jesus did for us what we could never do for ourselves. He paid the debt of sin, made rescue possible, and opened the way into a new life marked by freedom in him. This message explores why Jesus had...

29th March 2026In these segments from our Palm Sunday kids service, we explore how Jesus showed us that he has power like no other. We see a dramatic monologue recounting how Jesus healed a widow's son and brought him back to life. We hear how Jesus' power can impact our lives today, and are encouraged to take that truth with us into the situations we are facing.

22nd March 2026 - Ben O'ReillyBen preached from Esther 9 and explored the festival of Purim, the practice God’s people adopted to remember the great reversal he brought about for them. In this message, we are reminded that faith is not sustained only by fresh emotion or present clarity. It is also strengthened as we remember what God has already done. Whether through dramatic turning points, q...

15th March 2026 - Shelby O'ReillyIn this message from Esther 5 and 6, Shelby explores what true courage really looks like. In a world that tells us to live with “main character energy” and take control of our own story, Esther shows us a better way. Her courage is not loud, self-driven, or controlling. It is humble, patient, discerning, and surrendered to God. As the story turns in an unexpect...

8th March 2026 - Christine DaymonWhen faith becomes comfortable or passive, it can be easy to lose sight of what God is doing. In this message from Esther 4, Christine explores how God remains faithful even when His people drift, calling them back to humility, prayer, and obedience. Through Mordecai’s challenge to Esther, we are reminded that God is still at work behind the scenes and invites us t...

1st March 2026 - Ben O'ReillyWhen life feels ordinary or God seems quiet, it can be hard to see what He is doing. In this first message from our series in Esther, we explore how God is often already at work behind the scenes, shaping our lives through everyday circumstances and preparing us for moments we cannot yet see.

22nd February 2026 - Ben O'ReillyWe explore how God grows and strengthens us through one another, and why meeting together isn’t just tradition, but essential to our life in Christ. Through a simple illustration of how a bundle of sticks is stronger together, and a practical moment of shared encouragement, we’re reminded that following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. We need each o...

15th February 2026 - Shelby O'Reilly Baptism has always been part of the life of the church, but it’s worth asking why. Looking at Romans 6 and Acts 2, we see that baptism tells a story. It reflects Jesus’ death and resurrection, and it symbolises our own turning from the old life and stepping into new life with him. The water itself isn’t magical. It is a visible expression of something God h...

8th February 2026 - Ben O'ReillyMoney can be personal, emotional, and sometimes uncomfortable to talk about in church. But generosity is about far more than a transactional act or a religious obligation. In this message, we explore how giving is a spiritual practice that gently shapes our hearts and teaches us what it means to trust God. Rather than pressure or obligation, tithing is framed as...

1st February 2026 - Ben O'ReillyWhy do Christians take communion — and what does it really mean? In this sermon from Why We Do What We Do, we explore communion as a meal of remembrance, confession, and hope. Tracing its roots from the Passover to the Last Supper, this message invites us to see communion not as empty ritual, but as a grace-filled moment that tells the truth about us, the truth...

25th January 2026 - Ben O'ReillyIn this message, we reflect on our own stories and consider how God has been present through the moments that have shaped us. We explore how God works in ordinary experiences, difficult seasons, and unfinished chapters of life, and how patterns of growth and faithfulness often become clearer when we look back. This sermon is about recognising where God has been...

18th January 2026 - Shelby O'ReillyWhat happens when faith feels dry, distant, or worn out? In this message, Shelby shares her personal story of growing up in church, walking away from faith during a season of burnout and disappointment, and discovering how God patiently meets us again. Anchored in Jeremiah 17 and the story of Lydia in Acts 16, this sermon explores the idea of “riverbank momen...

4th January 2026 - Rod VardyScripture: Jeremiah 1:4-19; 11:18-19; 12:1-5; 29:11-14What does it mean to stay faithful when life becomes hard?

Through biblical reflection and personal stories of faith, mission, and perseve...

28th December 2025 - Shelby O'ReillyScripture: Mark 8:34-9:1In this sermon from Mark 8:34 to 9:1, Jesus asks a confronting question that cuts beneath belief and straight into commitment. Through a relatable story, rich biblical reflection, and Jesus’ words about denying ourselves and taking up our cross, we are invited to examine the lenses we use to measure our lives. Comfort, security, succe...

21st December 2025 - Shelby O'ReillyScripture: Psalm 73Series: Missing Peace? In this Christmas message from Psalm 73, we explore the tension between faith and suffering, especially when it feels like others are thriving while we are struggling. The psalmist’s honest journey reveals how pain can lead to envy, bitterness, and doubt, but also how everything changes when we step into God’s presen...

In a world filled with conflict, uncertainty, and anxiety, Scripture reminds us not to be surprised, but to be expectant.

30th November 2025 - Shelby O'Reilly Scripture: Acts 2:42-47 This week, Pastor Shelby led our all-ages Community Sunday with a creative look at what the Bible says actually makes a church. Starting with a fun drawing exercise with the kids, we explored Acts 2:42–47 and discovered that the heart of the church isn’t a building. It’s people learning together, praying together, giving generously,...

16th November 2025 - Steve IngramScripture: Ecclesiastes 7Guest speaker Steve Ingram shares at the Commissioning of Ben and Shelby O'Reilly. In seasons of change, we often long for straight lines, simple answers, and predictable outcomes.
