  1. The Sword and The Word | Ps Rachel Baker

    6D AGO

    The Sword and The Word | Ps Rachel Baker

    In this Week 2 PM message of Becoming: Navigating Your Journey of Faith, Ps Rachel Baker unpacks what it really means to discover eternal truth. With honesty, humour, and powerful personal stories, she explores how Scripture is more than information to memorize. It is a gift from God meant to shape, equip, and transform us. Rachel walks through the difference between knowing the written word and knowing Jesus, the Word made flesh. She explains how the Bible becomes like a sword in our hands, not to wound others, but to defend against lies and cut away what holds us back. Drawing from her own journey through fear, doubt, and hitting the wall, she shares how verses planted in childhood became lifelines when life felt dark and overwhelming. This message is both practical and deeply encouraging. It challenges us to move beyond collecting knowledge and instead allow God’s truth to renew our minds and anchor our identity in His love. If you have ever wondered how Scripture fits into real life, this episode will help you see it in a whole new way.

  2. Discovering Eternal Truth | Ps Sue Irwin

    Discovering Eternal Truth | Ps Sue Irwin

    In this second week of Becoming: Navigating Your Journey of Faith, Ps Sue Irwin takes us deeper into what it really means to grow spiritually. After the initial encounter with God, what comes next? Sue explains that faith is not just about a powerful experience or learning to serve. It is about allowing God’s truth to reshape the way we think. Drawing from Joshua, Psalm 23, and the temptation of Jesus, she shows why knowing Scripture is not about winning arguments or appearing spiritual. It is about renewing the mind. When we learn to meditate on God’s Word and invite the Holy Spirit to help us understand it, we begin to think differently. We stop being shaped by fear, comparison, and pride, and start living from trust, courage, and love. Sue also warns of the subtle trap of legalism and reminds us that the goal is not knowledge alone, but becoming like Christ. This message is a practical and powerful invitation to build your life on solid ground and allow God’s truth to form you from the inside out.

    Navigating Your Journey of Faith | Ps Sue Irwin

    In this opening message of our new series called Becoming: Navigating Your Journey of Faith, Ps Sue Irwin invites us to step back and reflect on the journey of faith we are all on. Rather than seeing faith as a checklist of right beliefs or good behaviour, Sue reframes it as a lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus. It is less about what we do and more about who we are becoming along the way. Through Scripture, personal stories, and the moving testimony of someone walking through grief, Sue explores how faith grows through experience, truth, service, and seasons of struggle. She reminds us that every believer will face moments where faith is tested, expectations are challenged, and easy formulas no longer work. These moments are not failures but invitations to deeper trust and transformation. This message is an encouraging starting point for anyone questioning where they are in their faith or wondering what the goal of following Jesus really is. It offers clarity, hope, and a fresh vision for navigating the journey with honesty, courage, and grace.

    Jesus Is Your Future | Asher Morrison

    In this final message of the Anxious for Nothing series, Asher Morrison brings the conversation to a powerful and hope filled close. With warmth, honesty, and insight, he helps us understand what anxiety is really pointing to beneath the surface. Fear is not random. It often reveals what we believe about our future, our worth, and our ability to cope with what lies ahead. Drawing from Philippians and his own experiences, Asher explains how anxiety can be like being winded. It alerts us that something deeper is going on. Rather than shaming us for feeling anxious, this message gently invites us to listen to what our fears are telling us and to bring them into the light of who Jesus is. Asher walks through some of the most common fears people carry, including loneliness, failure, suffering, and uncertainty about the future, and shows how Jesus speaks directly into each one. This episode offers reassurance, clarity, and deep encouragement. If anxiety has been shaping your thoughts or limiting your hope, this message reminds you that your future is not unknown. Your future is Jesus.

    Finding Peace When Anxiety Hits | John Crawford

    In this deeply honest and practical message, John Crawford speaks from lived experience about anxiety, fear, and the quiet weight many people carry every day. With vulnerability and wisdom, he reminds us that anxiety is not a failure of faith and it is not something to be ashamed of. It is part of living in a broken world, and it is something God cares deeply about. Drawing from Philippians 4, John unpacks what it really means to be anxious for nothing. Not by denying our struggles, but by learning how to respond when anxiety shows up. Through powerful stories, including moments from his own life, he explains the difference between happiness and joy, and why peace is rooted in relationship with God rather than circumstances. This message offers practical, biblical steps for anyone who feels overwhelmed, restless, or stuck in cycles of worry. It gently leads listeners toward praise, prayer, and a renewed focus on God’s love. If anxiety has been shaping your thoughts or stealing your peace, this episode offers hope, clarity, and a way forward grounded in grace.

  6. Safeguarding Your Faith | Ps Sue Irwin

    JAN 18

    Safeguarding Your Faith | Ps Sue Irwin

    In this powerful and practical message, Ps Sue Irwin speaks directly to one of the quiet struggles many believers face: how faith can slowly weaken under pressure, worry, and disappointment. Drawing from Paul’s words in Philippians, she explores what it really means to rejoice in the Lord, not because life is easy, but because God is trustworthy in every circumstance. Sue unpacks how anxiety, fear, and hardship can gradually erode faith if we are not intentional about protecting it. With clarity and compassion, she shows that rejoicing is not denial or forced positivity. It is a conscious decision to place our trust in who God is rather than what we are facing. This kind of rejoicing becomes a safeguard, revealing when our hearts are growing weary and inviting us back to rest in God’s power and love. This message will resonate deeply with anyone feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or spiritually tired. It offers encouragement, wisdom, and practical steps to keep faith strong, hearts soft, and hope anchored in the Lord who holds all things together.

  7. Living From Who You Are | Ps Sue Irwin

    JAN 12

    Living From Who You Are | Ps Sue Irwin

    In this deeply grounding message, Ps Sue Irwin invites us to discover freedom from anxiety by understanding who we really are in Christ. Drawing from Philippians and Ephesians, she unpacks how much of our worry comes from striving to meet our own needs, prove our worth, or gain approval from others. Sue points us to Jesus as the ultimate example. Fully secure in the love of the Father, Jesus lived a life of humility and service, not out of fear or obligation, but from an abundance of love. This same invitation is offered to us. When we stop trying to earn love and instead receive God’s mercy, our mindset begins to change and so do our relationships. This message speaks with compassion to those carrying fear, shame, rejection, or past wounds. It gently challenges listeners to let go of control, surrender anxious striving, and live from the deep assurance of being loved by God. If you long for peace that reaches beyond circumstances, this episode offers wisdom, hope, and a path toward lasting freedom.

    JAN 5

    Anxious For Nothing | Ps Sue Irwin

    As we begin a new year, Ps Sue Irwin opens this series with a hopeful and practical message about living free from anxiety. Drawing from Paul’s letter to the Philippians, she reminds us that an anxious life is not fixed by willpower, positive thinking, or better planning, but by a deeper shift in what we believe about ourselves and about God. Sue gently explores how anxiety is often rooted in identity and misplaced trust, and how peace begins when we learn to live from who we are in Christ rather than striving to become someone through outcomes and achievements. Through Scripture, stories, and clear teaching, she invites us to experience God’s love personally, not just understand it intellectually. This message is a powerful starting point for the year ahead. It offers a fresh perspective on prayer, spiritual growth, and what it really means to be God’s children. If you are carrying worry, feeling overwhelmed, or longing for a steadier sense of peace, this episode sets a grounding and hope filled tone for 2026.
