    Who is the Holy Spirit?

    We talk about God as Father and Son, but when it comes to the Holy Spirit, many of us feel like we’ve stepped into mystery. Is the Spirit comforting, confusing, powerful, or all three? In this new series, we’ll explore the Holy Spirit in the middle of the strangeness, and discover that the mystery may be more beautiful than we think

    His Will, His Way

    What do you do when God seems silent, when the answer is delayed, and when the waiting becomes painful? In John 11, Mary and Martha ask the questions so many of us know all too well: Why didn’t Jesus come sooner? Does he really care? Is he still able to do anything now? This sermon explores Lazarus’s story, where the delay is real, the grief is deep, and yet Jesus shows that his will, his way, and his timing are still worth trusting.

    Mocked as a Criminal, Crowned as King

    Walk through Matthew 27:32–54 and discover how a Roman execution, a sarcastic sign, and a centurion’s terrified confession reveal Jesus as the true King and Son of God, calling each of us to decide where we stand.

    Peace filled Dependency

    What do you do when you’ve done everything you can, and still nothing changes? In this sermon, we explore the heavy tension of waiting, the frustration of feeling powerless, and the dangerous pull of discontentment. Looking at Philippians 4:10–13, we follow Paul into prison and discover the secret he learned: not escape, not control, but contentment through Christ’s strength...

    When fear takes over

    What do you do when anxiety gets loud and life feels like a storm you cannot control? This talk from the Peace series looks at Mark 4:35–41 and explores how Jesus meets us in fearful moments with presence, power and peace.

    God meets us in the silence

    What do you do when life feels too heavy to carry? In this message, we look at Elijah in 1 Kings 19 and discover that even faithful people can feel exhausted, afraid, and overwhelmed — and that God meets us there with care, not condemnation. If you have ever felt like you are not ok, this talk is a reminder that you are not alone and that one honest step can be the beginning of healing.

    The view from here

    When life feels like it’s spiralling and the view from here is confusing or painful, has Jesus lost control? In this message we follow Jesus from Gethsemane to his trial and discover a bigger perspective: he is still sovereign, even when we’ve lost sight.

    The God who gets you

    What do you do when life feels overwhelming, your prayers seem unanswered, and God feels distant? In this talk we walk with Jesus into Gethsemane – his safe place, his anxiety, his loneliness, his unanswered plea – and discover a God who doesn’t just understand our pain from a distance but has lived it from the inside. This message will help you see that Jesus is vulnerable, relatable and approachable, and invite you to bring your own cup of sorrow to the One who has already drunk it for you.

    This is what true greatness looks like

    The greatest person in the room is the one on their knees with a towel! In this talk we explore the night Jesus mixed a sacred meal with dirty feet, and why that simple act still has the power to unsettle, comfort and completely reframe what a ‘great life’ looks like.
