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.

Why moving towards God will offend you - and why that's actually really good news.
Often we speak about the rewards of finding God, but in 2 Kings 5 Naaman shows us the other side of the coin. That the journey to find God can be difficult, disorientating, yet deeply transformative.

Dark skies, a torn veil, angelic visitations.  What does it all mean? As we explore the cosmic events surrounding Easter, we discover that Jesus’ death and resurrection is more than just a physical event - it’s a spiritual one - offering a cure to every aching soul.

In this message, we explore the tension between God's power and our participation.
What is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives? And what part do we have to play to see Him work in and through us?

Who is the King of Glory?
In this episode, Joel explores the powerful questions of Psalm 24—who can stand in God’s presence, and what it really means to open the gates of our lives to Him.
As the Psalm builds towards these questions, we’ll discover why this ancient passage still challenges us today—and why the answer changes everything.

Why did the early church share their possessions so freely?
Acts 4 describes a community where “there were no needy persons among them.” But this wasn’t forced generosity or economic idealism. Something deeper had happened.
In this message we explore how God’s grace transforms the human heart, freeing people from the need to cling to possessions.
When grace reshapes a community, generosity flows naturally—and people are able to both give and receive without shame.

This week Glynn shares with us from John chapter 10, where Jesus declares; I am the good shepherd. 
 
Glynn unpacks the enormous significance of this identity statement. We see that Jesus really is the Son of God; fulfilling the prophesies of David, Isaiah and Ezekiel. That He knows us completely and yet He loves us enough to lay down His life for us. 
 
Finally, an encouragement to be smart sheep; to stay close to the Shepherd and keep the gates locked. 
 
We hope you are blessed by this message. If you’d like to find out more about who we are, head to our website:

In Acts chapter 4, two ordinary men stand before powerful leaders — and somehow, they’re the freest people in the room. Why does their courage create wonder in some… and resistance in others? This episode explores boldness, surrender, and the quiet cost of embracing truth.

One of the big fears around religion is the idea that people who believe they have the truth can become prideful, divisive and even oppressive. 
Tim explores Acts 4, the nature of truth claims in a diverse society, and how the truth of Christ might bring good news.

A husband and wife in a supermarket.A tired man sitting by a well.A conversation that wasn’t supposed to happen.
Today, Mark Greenwood speaks to us on how ordinary interactions can carry extraordinary weight. Why do friendships fade so quickly? What happens when we slow down long enough to really notice people? And why might being yourself matter more than saying the right thing?
