In this episode we have the pleasure of sitting under the kingdom canopy with Michael Cowley as he leads us in the Word of Life! Michael is ministers from - BREATH /// 🗣️ 🌬️ 💨 Prepare! For In a King’s tomb there was One miraculous breath for whosoever. And so within our hearts He lays as always was - is and will be. … from Moses to revelation! With a key emphasis in - 2 Peter 1:3-5: “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,”

Sanctuary co-founder and lead Pastor Cath Osborne is privileged to share a word for the body that encourages us in our spiritual formation. Ascending and descending….. going up in prayer and communion and coming down with purpose…. We have this embodied reality of HOPE within us which is Jesus Christ. How are we growing in the revelation of Christ within us…. And do we grasp the significance of the community of beloveds around us whom help us to identify with Jesus as we are faithfully transformed into His image…as we were indeed created….Enjoy....

Unstuck and into intimacy with Alan & Bron Kibble | Romans 12:1-2 & Hebrews 10:11-14 We had the pleasure of hearing from Alan & Bron who lead us in the Word for the first time. Are there emotional concepts that we believe about God which are not true? Come and explore how those concepts could be affecting our relationship with the father. We will share how the incorrect emotional concepts that we previously believed can affect our relationship with Him. We will plunge ourselves into the scriptures together and discover how we can fully embrace and believe the love of God that has truly set us all free! Enjoy!

Sowing Kingdom Seeds - everyone is called to the harvest - with Martin & Chris Owen  The Scripture is emphatic in its charge to every generation in the post-cross-era to be anchored in a Great Commission mindset - the mind of Christ! They will explore three powerful keys to kingdom impact: abiding in Jesus, prioritising prayer, and stepping into practical obedience. Drawing from the reality of the boldness of the early church in Acts, we will be challenged to expect Holy Spirit movement in our everyday lives. With group discussion questions and a practical “5-5-5” prayer challenge, this message will equip and inspire us all to intentionally sow seeds of transformation in the lives of those around us. Everyone is called to the harvest.

There are burdens that break you and burdens that build — the difference is the hand from which they were filled. When God lays a weight on your heart, it is never to crush - it is seed pressed into soil, life waiting to burst forth. Nehemiah wept for  his people at their distress… the burden he carried was the Father's will with covenantal purpose. To steward what Heaven has placed in your chest is to hold it with open hands, and trust that the ache is a blueprint, a redemptive plan. And this - to carry each other's burdens is to see what God sees, to know what He's building in and through the lives of one another. Join us from last Sunday as Cath Osborne comes and led us into the treasures of the word of God, drawing us deeply to be filled with discernment and passion for our King! 👑 Enjoy

On Sunday the 17th of May we gathered together for Sanctuary Sunday and had the pleasure of Martin & Chris Owen leading us in the Word. They ministered from - Sowing Kingdom Seeds - everyone is called to the harvest. The Scripture is emphatic in its charge to every generation in the post-cross-era to be anchored in a Great Commission mindset - the mind of Christ! They explored three powerful keys to kingdom impact: abiding in Jesus, prioritising prayer, and stepping into practical obedience. Enjoy!

Being Segulah with Helen Muller this Sunday at Sanctuary. Exodus 19:4–7…………. Before the law. Before the covenant was signed in stone. Before Israel had done a single thing to earn it — God reached down, gathered a ragged, barefoot people and whispered a word over them that would define everything: Segulah. Treasured possession. Not a trophy on a shelf, but a child pressed close to a parent’s chest. This is where the story begins — not with obligation, but with belonging. Not with what we must do, but with who we already are. And still, across every ordinary Tuesday and tired Thursday, that same hand is extended. Not demanding. Not distant. Waiting. Because children don’t attach to their parents through theology. They attach through presence — through shared moments, through showing up, through letting themselves be found. This Sunday, we’re asking a simple question: What does it look like to live like we’re actually His? 😊

Join us for this special message on Easter Sunday from our special friend and fellow burning heart - Herald Isaac, as he invites to the widen our eyes to see more of the revelation of the cross and the fruit it is producing for the kingdom of God all across the earth. Enjoy.

White fire meets black fire On Sunday the 8th of March we had the pleasure of Michael Cowley sharing the word with us. Michael is sharing around the following: The Torah was originally given by our Father as black fire on white fire, with the letters in a continuous, unseparated stream. Black fire is the literal (p'shat) meaning, while white fire represents deeper, hidden, or mystical meanings. To bring this into the light of todays church body, there are three scripture focuses that you can sit in this week leading up to Michael’s sharing: Isaiah 66:7-9, 1 Corinthians 12:19, Matthew 13:8. We encourage you to read these scriptures in the context of their passages to give you a broader picture.

The Lord Sees Differently In a world that often hates, rejects, and pulls us down, how do we keep our hearts steady and our hope alive? Join us as we explore what it truly means to see how the Lord sees. Through the words of Jesus and the apostles, we’ll discover our true identity as new creations who belong to a different kingdom. Janet Dawson will linking in our prophetic word for this sharing. The key scriptures are: John 16:16 & John 8:23 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 | Philippians 3:20. This will be another opportunity to learn to shift your eyes from the world’s view to heaven’s perspective. We look forward to sharing this time with you! 😊

No Turning Back This Sunday we had the pleasure of Esther Cowley bringing the Word. We’ve reached the shore of full surrender— no turning back. Burn the ships. Let every plank of compromise, every oar of half-hearted faith, go up in holy flame. For our God is a consuming fire (Heb 12:29), and He has not called us to drift, but to walk worthy, making the most of every moment (Eph 5:15-16), seasoned with salt, speaking with grace (Col 4:5-6). Count the cost. Leave the crowds. Carry the cross. Christ in you is the hope of glory (Col 1:27), and He is worthy of a life with no retreat. The ships are burning. The smoke rises like incense. Forward is the only direction left. 🔥⛵️No Turning Back. We can’t wait to share this special time with you all.

In this episode we have the pleasure of sitting under the teaching of Cath Osborne as she invites us to listen to the words Jesus speaks from the cross. Cath unpacks what it is to partake in and live from Biblical listening to our Lord and Saviour. This special time together will unpack the journey to the cross and the experience of the cross itself. Be sure to prepare by reading and engaging with the four Gospel accounts of the Cross! The Cross is one of the most special places where spiritual practices flow from and one of the most precious places of learning for the believer! We hope to engage in some examples of spiritual practices as a body which will spur you on and encourage you to stay the course. Enjoy

On Sunday Cath Osborne, co-leader of Sanctuary released a powerful message from Exodus 15! The GENEROSITY of GOD is overwhelming! We see it throughout the whole Word! Fresh from the triumph of Passover’s blood-stained doorposts, the Israelites step into freedom—and their very first month sets the stage for a lifetime of faith. Cath will trace God’s love story through the song of deliverance at the Red Sea, the bitter waters of Marah, and the refreshing oasis of Elim, showing how every stop in the wilderness points us straight to Jesus. One month in the desert… forty years to follow. Come discover what these ancient wells and palms signify and reveal about your own spiritual formation and the generous heart of the Father who leads us home. Put this one on repeat! Enjoy!

Into life is how the gospel is shaped to transform. It is a personal yet deeply communal way of living. Central to the believer growing in maturity is the recognition of confession. Confession is outdated and not needed. The Word of God implores us to readily confess, to become humble and to be empowered through sharing our weaknesses, so that His strength is perfected. In this latest portion from our series 'the heart of others', Pastor James Kenny encourages the body of Christ to take up our cross daily and follow Jesus.
