How much do you like waiting? Not many of us do. It seems like a waste of time. It can seem pointless and sometimes even feel cruel. Yet in this story, there is a lot of waiting. And it is in a pretty serious time for all concerned. Come and explore with us, how Jesus can meet us in the waiting. Rebecca opens this story up and points us beyond the situations we face. Check it out.

Was this man born blind because he sinned? Or was it because of his parents' sin? This was the thinking of the day - and can still be today. The question is: how does Jesus respond? Peter explores this idea in this message and how we need to look out for bad signs, as they can lead to spiritual blindness. Yet what we want is true spiritual sight. Join us as we look at this passage.

We find Jesus here healing a man in Jerusalem healing a man who had been paralysed for 38 years. It is a powerful story as we look at the 7 Signs of Jesus in the book of John. John 5:1-18. This story raises some interesting and provoking questions. Come with us as Ross takes us through this story.

What comes first? Seeing or believing? This incredible story of Jesus healing an official's son, found in John 4:46-54, is such a powerful story of faith. Rebecca explores the question of when believing starts as she goes through this story and explores what this sign says about Jesus.

Is Christianity an individual faith or a community based faith? Does what I do effect others or not? We can easily be swept into the thought that our faith life is only a personal journey but what we do does affect others. Peter looks at the passage of Paul talking about the roles in the body in 1 Corinthians 12 and reimagines it in a new light. He speaks from his own experiences and gives a picture of the Holy Spirit working in and through believers.

Transformation and change are key to life and faith. We like the idea of that, but struggle of the reality of that process in our lives. Peter takes us through 2 Corinthians 3 and this great passage and challenge of the Spirit's work in us for transformation and new life. Join us as we continue our "All Fired Up" series looking at what it means to live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Fear is something that all people feel at some point in their lives. It can control us and it can consume us. Fear has such a powerful hold over our lives and yet we desperately want to escape its grasp on us. What does God have to say abou fear? How can the Holy Spirit help? Rebecca explores this as we continue our "All Fired Up" series looking at how we live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The sound of a life all fired up, sounds so inviting and engaging. It gives a sense of significance and purpose to our lives. The picture of fire is one that often associated with the Holy Spirit. A life lived and sold out to the power of the Holy Spirit is certainly one that is all fired up. In this episode, Peter explores Romans 8 and how to live a life empowered and surrendered to the Holy Spirit and how that leads to a life of freedom, life and peace.

Is it ok to have doubts? Does that work against faith or does it actually make your faith stronger? In this message, Peter explores the character of Thomas when he encounters the resurrected Jesus. Let's see how Jesus deals with Thomas' struggles and doubts and how Jesus deals with us in our own journey.

As we celebrate the victory of Jesus on Easter Sunday, Rodney shares with us a few encounters of the disciples with the risen Jesus. He encourages us to look at the power, strength and peace that can be found in the Unshakable Love of Jesus.

In today's message, Wendy shares with us on Good Friday the Unshakable Love of Jesus. We explore how this was a costly and precious gift of God towards us.

On this Palm Sunday, Ross takes us to that original day as Jesus rides into Jerusalem, giving us a perspective of this from the history and Jewish people of the day. Just like in that time, the challenge for us today is to consider who this Jesus is to us.

There would be no argument about prayer being vital for the person who is following the way of Jesus. It was such a key part of who he was and what he did. Rebecca takes us through the importance of prayer and challenges some of the ideas or ways we approach prayer in our own lives. Come join us in this pursuit of God in this way.

We have been exploring following Jesus as our way of life. This is who we are and what we do. This episode we look at what is most important to know about evangelism. Though it sounds scary it is amazing how our own experiences can make sharing our story with God seem not so hard. We also hear from 2 others as they share their stories of God working in their life.

"We're on a mission from God!" Have you ever wondered what God's mission really looks like? Does he want you to be part of it? Peter explores the idea of God's mission in the world and how it lives at the very core of who he is and how he operates. Hear how you can be part of that mission too.
