This message explores the promise and gift of the Holy Spirit from God the Father, as Jesus said in Acts 1:8. It emphasises that the Holy Spirit gives us power to have influence and impact wherever God places us. Therefore, every Christian is called and anointed to take up the mantle of a Missional Church.

Evangelism isn’t just about the words that we say but also the life that we live. The Bible tells us that we are Christ’s ambassadors and Salt and Light, but what does that actually mean for us practically?

You don't have to travel half-way across the world to be a missionary, and you don't need a microphone to tell others about Jesus! Join us for an insightful Q&A that will equip you to tell others about Jesus in a very down-to-earth way.

Why does the beauty and wholeness of Christ's salvation seem so far away? Why are good Christian men and women falling by the wayside? If I'm saved, why don't I feel like everything's ok? Here we look at what true restoration in Christ looks like, and why the four streams of discipleship, counselling, healing and spiritual warfare are so important. (Credit to John Eldredge, Wild at Heart, for teaching on the Four Streams).

This message looks at the wilderness wandering experience of the Israelites in comparison with our modern-day experience as Christians. It looks at 5 reasons (Procrastination, Sin, Past, Unbelief, and Attitude) why, as Christians, we might experience a delay in entering God's promises concerning our lives. Also, in conclusion, it practically suggests 4 key things we can do to prevent or come out of wandering in the wilderness.

God is a generational God! In this message, we look at the invitation of Scripture to not give up, but rather to step up when it comes to passing on the kingdom baton. Listen in, and be inspired about how you can play your part!

In this message, we unpack why Jesus is the TRUE Vine and how we, as the branches, need to remain in him and stay connected to the true Vine so that we can bear good fruit. We also look at the benefits/fruits of remaining in Him.

This teaching explores Jesus as “I AM — the Resurrection and the Life,” calling us to move from belief and recognition of who He is into a lived experience of His promises through faith and obedience. Through the PAR journey — Preparation, Application and Rest — we discover how God prepares us, strengthens us in/for seasons that appear very dry or dead, brings resurrection and life through our obedience, and ultimately leads us into a season of testimony and rest in His goodness.

In John 8:12, Jesus is revealing Himself as The Light of the World, which shows that He is the only Hope in a dark, fallen world. Jesus is encouraging the believers to actively follow Him by turning away from unrighteousness and seeking His presence. To live in the Light, in submission to God’s command, implies that God is always guiding us and that there is assurance of an Eternity in His presence. It also reminds us that God empowers us to reflect His Light and extend God’s love to the world around us, so that many can come to Salvation, only found in Jesus.

Jesus is the eternal, sustaining source of life. His body was given for us, the bread to nourish and sustain our souls. Through lack of a deep desire to feed on the Word of God daily, we will live malnourished Christian lives. Rather than famine, we should feast on His Word and His Goodness. The battle that rages in our minds must be subject to the life-giving Word of God, revealed and understood through the Holy Spirit who lives in us. 3 John 1:2 "May our bodies prosper even as our soul prospers"!

As we begin our brand-new summer series, 'I AM', we explore through this message what Jesus meant when he described himself as both the Gate and the Good Shepherd, and discover what these powerful images mean for our lives in 2026.
