Sometimes the gospel turns our expectations upside down. In Luke 8:26–39, Jesus calms a storm, restores a man no one else could help and sends him home with a story to tell. Together, we explore the outrageous grace of a God who loves enemies, welcomes unlikely people and brings freedom where hope seems lost. What happens when we stop sanitising who God is and let his power, generosity and goodness reshape our perspective?

As we begin our “Why the Outrage?” series, we explore Luke 8:27–39, where Jesus restores a demon-possessed man’s life, yet the surrounding community responds with fear. It’s a story that brings us closer to our own reactions—especially when a few seconds of scrolling can get us fired up! Together, we consider how our perceptions, missing context and the motives we assume can shape our understanding and fuel our outrage. What might our reactions reveal about our fears, our comfort and our desire to belong? And how can we let Jesus shape our response?

As we trace Isaac's story through famine in Genesis 26, we see that the question is not whether we have enough, but whether we will hear God and respond with what is in our hands. In the first message of Planting Season, we consider small beginnings, planting before conditions are ideal, and trusting God with the outcome. This is not a formula for financial return; it is an invitation to listen, trust and participate.

Baptism is more than a church tradition or an optional extra. As we trace the Bible’s pattern of salvation through water—from creation, Noah and the Exodus to Jesus, Acts 2 and Romans 6—we can see that baptism is both symbol and obedient action. We are saved by grace, not works, yet grace calls us to respond. Baptism declares: the old life is buried, new life is found in Christ, and we belong to Him.

The Bible is a book unlike any other. Can I trust it? And does it really speak to me?

[Doug Parker] Welcome back. We’re kicking off a new series called This Changes Everything and diving into Ephesians. In this episode, Welcome to a New Reality, we unpack what it really means to live "in Christ": chosen, adopted, forgiven, and part of a bigger story that rewrites your past, present, and future. Stick around as we explore how this new identity is your new address.

[Speaker: Doug Parker] Hey friends, this episode takes us into the garden where betrayal, fear, and a surprising act of mercy collide. Watch Judas’ kiss, Peter’s sword, and Jesus’ healing touch unfold into a revolution that wins by love, not force. If something in your life feels dead or finished, stick around as resurrection shifts the whole story, and there’s hope for what feels buried.

[Speaker: Tiana Wotherspoon] This episode unpacks why one powerful moment (think Paul on the road to Damascus) isn’t the finish line. Faith grows in the slow, sometimes uncomfortable work that follows. If you’ve ever wanted results without the process (guilty!), this message is a gentle nudge to bring your real life to God, practice intentionally, and let Him form you day by day.

Hey friends — glad you’re here. In this episode we journey through Isaiah 35, and Jesus’ promise of living water, exploring how God brings steady streams into desert seasons. If life’s felt like a wasteland or you’ve chased mirages that never satisfy, this message gently reminds you that small daily rhythms, honest prayer, and community carve paths to real, lasting renewal. Come and be encouraged.

[Speaker: Ps Doug Parker] Do you feel like you're constantly racing against the clock? Like time owns you? In this message, we look at the concept of Sabbath and explore how trusting God with our time is actually about trusting Him with our lives.

[Speaker: Ps Doug Parker]  What if trust isn’t just the issue—but also the answer? In this message, we look at the subtle ways distrust sneaks in and how true freedom begins when we place the full weight of our lives in God’s hands.
