Why does God care so much about one lost soul? In this message, guest pastor Chad Fischer takes us through Luke 14 and 15 to reveal God’s heart for a full house. Discover why everyone matters to God, why there’s always reason to celebrate the one, and why we can never grow complacent while the world remains lost. All of us have been called to this mission, and there’s always room for one more. Find out how you can help fill the house.

What does it take for a church, a team, or a family to move forward together? In this message, guest speaker Ps. Rob Ketterling shares about the speed of unity and opens with a powerful testimony of healing. Along the way, you’ll hear how to recognise unity and practical ways to protect it. Whether you lead a team, serve at church, or just want healthier relationships, this episode will challenge you to move at a speed that opens up what God can do through you.

In this message by Pastor Gerard, we dig into Genesis 41 and discover that God's miracles almost always require a human response. Provision requires movement, and sometimes God uses famine, lack, or discomfort to push us out of the comfort zones we'd otherwise never leave. Whether you're waiting on a breakthrough or wondering why things feel harder than they should, this episode will challenge you to see yourself not as a passive bystander, but as a collaborator in what God wants to do — for you and through you, to others. Because how you respond in the waiting season determines whether provision reaches you and whether it flows through you to someone else who needs it too.

What does true discipleship look like? In this episode, Ps. Sean Booth unveils the heart of discipleship through the story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet. It is a picture of humility, service, and identity that still challenges us today. Discover why Jesus was secure enough to take the lowest place, and what it means for us to follow His example at home, at work, and in the way we treat one another.

In this episode, Pastor Patrick Bayo shares about the life of Joseph and how even in the midst of chaos, he was positioned for purpose. While Joseph was in the pit, the prison and the palace, he was Positioned For Purpose. God will use what has been used against us and to harm us for His good and glory. The question Pastor Patrick asks is not whether God has positioned us for purpose. It is how do we remain rooted for and in His purpose.

In this sermon, we continue our Called to Something Larger Than Yourself series by looking at Noah's life and what it means to live a life that bears fruit.  What if your obedience today may be connected to something far bigger, larger than you can currently see?  Tune in to hear what our Lead pastor shares in this truth-filled, impactful message.

What if your life was meant for more than just you? Looking at the story of Samuel, Pastor Sean explores what it means to recognise and respond to the call of God. You are called as someone, called for something, and called to someone. Discover how making space for God, staying sensitive to His voice, and saying yes can lead you into the purpose and mission He has prepared for your life.

In this episode of the Open Arms Podcast, Pastor Patrick shares a message titled “Don’t Leave Without Him.” Looking at Acts 1, he explores why Jesus told the disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit before stepping into their mission. This message is a reminder that God has not called us to live for Christ, become like Christ, or fulfil His purpose in our own strength. We were created to live dependent on the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

Are you tired, weary, or carrying things God never intended you to carry? In today’s message we look at the life of David and what it means to lay our baggage at the feet of the One who can truly carry it.

In today’s message, we explore Psalm 23 and discover what it means to let Jesus be our Good Shepherd. As we navigate a world shaped by stress, worry, success, social media, and pain, we'll see how the Shepherd’s voice leads us to true rest, identity, and peace.

In today’s message, we explore what it truly means to find our identity in Christ. Discover the hope, purpose, and assurance we have through Him, and be encouraged to live confidently in the truth of who God says you are.
