We’re all building something, but what are we building on? This week Mike unpacked the tension we all face between building on the shifting sands the world has to offer or the solid rock that is Jesus.

Ronia Jamera begins our new series "questions jesus asked" by unpacking how we can be about our fathers business.

Why is baptism so important to be mentioned in Jesus’ final instructions in Mathew 28.18-20? Nick Drake explores the inner renewal that happens when we allow God to do a deep clean of our lives.

Kookie Mudere shares a message on the significance of long standing relationships. That although they can be difficult, being committed to one another brings growth.

Tebo Mpanza shares a message on how we can have difficult conversations with one another in a loving way and how that can bring growth to us and those around us.

Meg Lambert shares a message on the power of forgiveness.

Before we can truly love others, we must first receive the love of our Heavenly Father. Our hearts were designed to be fulfilled by Him alone. Without a deep, personal revelation of God’s love, our identity remains incomplete. But when we encounter the Father’s love, we step into our true identity as secure sons and daughters, bringing life, not pain, to the world around us.

Tim shares a message on pentecost, where the Holy Spirit first descended on the disciples of Jesus.

Jesus is clear in Matthew 6 that there’s an expectation that his followers will practice Fasting; and yet so many of us don’t do it regularly. Rachel explores how the physical action of fasting brings about a spiritual reaction.

As followers of Jesus we are in a spiritual battle. We need to be ready and alert to stand strong in the challenges of life. Paul, in his letter to the church in Ephesus gives us so much in how to prepare and clothe ourselves for the battles ahead. Tim looks at the ‘armour of God’ and helps us see how we are to use it to enable us to stand firm.

The gift of tongues is a spiritual gift, given by God, to release us in prayer and worship. When we pray in tongues we are edified and built up. Through this gift we connect with God in prayer and amazingly are drawn into the mysteries of God. In this message, Tim biblically unpacks why we should eagerly desire this spiritual gift and what happens when we pray and sing in tongues.

Throughout our lives, both intentionally and unintentionally, we build up narratives about ourselves. Narratives built very often to answer the big questions: who am I? Am I worthy of being loved? When we come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we discover a beautiful new narrative written over us that we are God’s children, fully known and loved - but it is often hard to live out of that narrative that ‘we are what he has made us’ (Eph 2) and we are ‘delighted in’ (Zeph 3). In Jeremiah 2 we hear the Lord saying, ‘They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.’ How do we allow God to rewrite the narrative over us, leave behind the ‘broken cisterns’ and discover the living water he has for us? Ali unpacks what it might mean to have the narratives rewritten over us and the transformation that can bring in us, in our churches and the communities in which we live.

How do we cultivate resilient worship, praise in the valley? Nick Drake opens up Rev 1 to look at how we can draw from the facts of our faith and our relationship with Christ for our reasons to praise. Praise that doesn’t rely on emotion but intention.

Rachel explores the story of Abigail in 1 Samuel 25 and what we can learn from her remarkable sacrificial courage.

Tim Hughes shares an Easter message on the power of Jesus's resurrection and what the resurrection means for us.

When we think of judgement, we might automatically think of it negatively. But we see from our passage in Mark 14, that God’s judgement in Jesus is really good news and that we are lost without it. The rule and judgement of the Son of Man is the hope for our future, the grace for our past and the peace for our present. As we enter Holy Week and remember the events of the cross and the resurrection, be encouraged by the goodness of God’s judgement.

Tebo shares on how pride can take us away from all God has called us to be, and that living in humility is a way to draw closer to God.

What do you do when God doesn’t do what you expected Him to and you’re left feeling disappointed? Looking at the example of Jesus suffering in Mark 8, we see that when God isn’t meeting our expectations, He is exceeding them, and invites us to trust Him through the process.

When it comes to our treasure and resources Jesus teaches us that our outlook can either be one of abundance or scarcity. How can we become more like Christ, generous in every way; living with an abundance mindset?
