Some scriptural principles and practical guidance about God, us and money. 
What does Jesus say about wanting to be rich? What makes us rich in God’s eyes? Why is ‘giving’ so important? 

In a world full of constant notifications, endless scrolling, and never-ending distractions, it's easy to become so busy that we miss what matters most. In this episode, Stan explores the story of Mary and Martha and asks a challenging question: are we making room for Jesus in our lives, while failing to actually give Him our attention?
Stan unpacks how busyness is often more than a packed schedule—it's a condition of the heart. He talks about finding rest in God's presence, making prayer our first response instead of our last resort, and learning to prioritise a relationship with Jesus above everything else.

Where do we turn when something in us needs setting right?
From Isaiah 61, this message explores God’s promise of restoration for wounded, weary, and captive people, and invites us to consider where true help is found.

Man has always sought security, something which we can anchor our identity to. The life of Abraham shows us God's commitment and sacred promise to us.
This story reveals God's heart for relationship with us, based not on our faithfulness but on His. We see how God planned our redemption before we were born, and how we are held by a love that would sacrifice Himself for us. Irrespective of our own efforts.

From global uncertainty to personal struggles, many of us are carrying more anxiety than ever before. In this message, we explore an ancient pathway to peace. Tim shares a powerful personal story, wisdom from the Bible and the power of prayer in the midst of life's chaos.

This week Nick shares with us from Luke 19, exploring two questions:
Firstly, why did Jesus pick Zacchaeus? Secondly, why did he choose that moment to tell people the parable of the minas, and what do both of those reveal about Jesus?
Considering we don’t just have a Lord who encounters us; we have one who equips us right where we are.

In Mark 4, the storm is raging, the boat is filling, and Jesus is asleep. Discover the calm that disturbs His disciples, the dread Jesus Himself feels, and the strange fear that gives birth to peace.
A message on dread, compassion, fear, faith, and the peace of Jesus. 

Terror and Tenderness:
Why God's severity is good news. Acts 5:1-16 
In Acts 5, the story of Ananias and Sapphira confronts us with a side of God we often struggle to receive: His severity.
This message explores how sin twists what is good, why spiritual pretence is so dangerous, and why ultimately the severity of God might actually be good news. 

This week Glynn explores the dramatic contrast between the crowds who welcomed Jesus on Palm Sunday, and those who cried “crucify him” just days later.
It’s a searching look at the danger of shallow faith, the pressure to follow the crowd, and the personal call of Jesus that comes to each of us individually.
This sermon challenges us to ask: Are we just going along with the crowd, or are we willing to stand apart—and go deeper—in our faith?

This week Kevin shares on generosity from the story of Jesus’ anointing in Mark 14. This act of extravagant generosity raises uncomfortable questions—about money, priorities, and what really matters. Why would something so valuable be “wasted”? And what does Jesus’ response reveal about His heart?
As the story unfolds, we’re invited to see generosity in a completely different light—not as obligation, but as something deeper, more personal, and more costly than we might expect.
This talk will challenge how you think about giving, devotion, and what it means to truly respond to who Jesus is.
