This week in our God’s Book series we moved into one of the most confusing subjects in the Bible Do miracles and exorcisms really happen? For many people, this is where Christianity starts to feel a bit wierd. Miracles? Healing? Demons? Surely that belongs in the ancient world? And yet when you open the New Testament, you quickly realise that miracles are not sitting quietly at the edges of the story. They are everywhere. Jesus heals the sick. He calms storms. He drives out e

This week in our God’s Book series we explored one of the most sensitive and confusing topics in our culture today. You can watch the message here -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf6ZAGHtnCc What does the Bible actually say about sex? And the reality is… we are all coming into this conversation from different places. Some of us carry shame from legalistic church culture. Some of us carry wounds from sexual brokenness or abuse. Some of us carry regret. Some of us carry confus

This Sunday in our God’s Book series we’re stepping into one of the deepest and hardest questions human beings ask: Why does God allow suffering? We all struggle with this one and we walk through life with so much suffereing going on. And one of the surprising things about the Bible is that it does not avoid suffering at all! The Bible is brutally honest about grief, trauma, injustice, confusion, and pain. In fact, huge sections of Scripture were written by people living thro

This week in our God’s Book series, we come to what may be one of the hardest questions in the whole Bible. Why is there so much violence in the Old Testament? And more specifically: Does God condone warfare and violence? This is not an easy topic. For me personally and for many people, the stories of conquest in Joshua are some of the most difficult parts of Scripture. So this week, we are not going to pretend that it isn’t there. We are going to lean in really carefully and

Strange Laws, Customs… and Slavery? This week in our God’s Book series, we move into one of the places where many people get stuck. Because if you’ve ever tried to read the Bible from the beginning…this is often where it starts to feel confusing. A whole bunch of laws. Rules. Strange customs. And then…stuff about slavery. And the question that naturally comes up is If God is good… why are these things in the Bible at all? Rather than avoiding that question, we’re going to di

Creation: Can we take Genesis seriously in a scientific age? This Sunday as we dig into the first tough topic of our brand new series called God’s Book . And we’re beginning right at the start in Genesis. But before we even get there on Sunday, we’d love you to begin engaging with this topic during the week, if you want to go deeper and GROW in your reading of scripture and understanding of this amazing Book we have been given then this is a great place for you to start. For

Hey everyone, We’re now stepping into Week 6 of Lent. Wow, thats gone fast. We’re coming into the final stretch now. Easter is just around the corner. Over the past few weeks we’ve been building rhythms, putting reps in, practicing the ways of Jesus; prayer, fasting, encouragement, hidden obedience, praying for others, speaking about our faith. And hopefully, even if it’s been slow, something has been forming in you and you are spotting some growth. I have loved hearing from

Hey everyone, We’re now moving into Week 5 of Lent together. Firstly, well done for staying in it. By this point the novelty has probably worn off a little and the disciplines can begin to feel like actual work. That’s normal. Growth usually feels like that. A couple of people have also shared with me that, they have felt some spiritural opposition. Again thats normal, when we start stepping forwards with Jesus, the enemy doesn't like it. But you do need to decide how you re

Hey everyone, Wow, we're now stepping into Week 4 of Lent. I'd love to hear more about how you are getting on? Are you starting to see some signs of growth? Are you frustrated that you haven't been able to get into the rhythm that you had wanted to? Let me know where you are at. Today is Monday, so we begin the week again with fasting (if you are medically able). When hunger comes, remember: it's not just something to just push through. Let it become a prayer. Let your body

Hey everyone, We’re now stepping into Week 3 of Lent. Well done team lent! By this point, some of you will be getting into the rhythm of it. Others may be feeling frustrated. That’s normal. Growth isn’t instant. It happens quietly, steadily, as we keep putting the spiritural reps in. Today is Monday, so as you fast (if you’re able), remember: hunger is prayer. Let your body join your spirit again in saying, “You matter more, God.”Here is a prayer for your fasting that I praye

Hello Team LENT!! We’re now stepping into Week 2 of Lent and it's our first full week. Some of you will feel like the rhythm is flowing. Others may feel like it’s been messy, inconsistent, or harder than expected. That’s normal. Lent isn’t about a perfect run so no matter how week 1 has gone, pick up today fresh and seek Jesus! Today is also our first Monday of fasting. Remember as hunger comes, let it become prayer. Let your body join your spirit in saying, “You matter m

Each Monday through Lent, we’re fasting together. For some of you, that may feel natural. For others, it feels intimidating. And for quite a few, there are just a bunch of questions and misconceptions swirling around your heads. Is fasting just about getting more time to pray? Is it about twisting God’s arm into acting? Does it even “do” anything, is there any point to it? So I’d love to give you an introduction to fasting! Because its powerful, biblical and I think its impor

Tomorrow we begin Lent together. As a church this year, we’ve been talking a lot about growth; being built up, maturing in Christ, stepping into more of what God has for us. And I genuinely believe He has growth for you in this season. For centuries, the church has used Lent as a focused period to go deeper into the stuff of Jesus. Not to earn anything. Not to impress anyone. But to push in. To create space. To grow spiritually. None of us have yet reached “the full measure o
