Part 9 - Dealing with Image Obsession

Tom Scrivens takes us into Acts chapter 5, where the early church faces one of its most sobering moments with the tragic story of Ananias and Sapphira. In a church marked by rapid growth and radical generosity a hidden danger emerges: the desire for cultivating image over integrity. This passage confronts us with the seriousness of hypocrisy, the reality that God cannot be deceived, and the call to live before him in the right kind of fear. Far from being a passage for us to avoid, this scripture helps us rediscover the transforming power of living honestly before God.

Tom Scrivens takes us through Acts 4:32–37, where we are introduced to Barnabas, nicknamed "the Son of Encouragement".

Part 7 - A Church Courageous Under Fire

In this message from Acts chapter 4, Tomi Oyebadejo shows us why the apostles don’t back down when they are arrested for preaching Jesus. When proclaimed, the good news always provokes a response: acceptance, ambivalence, or outright adversity. But why do we speak about Jesus at all? Because we naturally talk about what we love.

Part 4 - A Devoted Church

This week Tom Scrivens continues our series in the book of Acts. In a culture that tells us to follow our own path and trust our own instincts, this message gets to the heart of why we’re not meant to do life alone, focusing on the importance of regularly coming back to the truth, the danger of isolation and how devotion to fellowship with other Christians can carry us through the highs and lows of life. At a time where we are launching Hubs this is an invitation into deeper, life-giving community.

Part 2 - A Church Filled with the Spirit

This week Peter Vincent takes us further into the book of Acts as we see that the promised Holy Spirit comes upon those first disciples, empowering them to be witnesses of all that Jesus has done for them. The filling of the Holy Spirit is something for us all to ask God for. And after that filling, we go on praying for more of the Spirit’s power in our lives day to day to empower us, to gift us and to remind us of the love of God.
