Proverbs 3:5-6 | Matthew 26:36-46

What does it really mean to trust God?

It’s easy to say we trust Him when life is going well. But what about when the future is uncertain, suffering is real, or God’s path seems difficult?

In this message from our Wisdom in Practice series, we explore one of the Bible’s most well-known passages - Proverbs 3:5-6 - and see it lived out perfectly in Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Together we’ll discover that:

* Everyone puts their trust in something.

* We submit to the God whom we know.

* The straight path isn’t always the easy path.

Ultimately, God doesn’t call us to have all the answers - He calls us to trust a trustworthy God.

(1 Thessalonians 5:12-22)

As we conclude Paul's letter to the church in Thessalonica today, there are so many ideas that we could focus on. So many things Paul encourages us to do or not do. Today Megan focuses on 3 of the things that Paul speaks about, the things that speak to the position of our heart and challenge us not to just tick something off a list but to BE.

Join us as we unpack what it means to BE patient, BE joyful & BE thankful.

(Ephesians 6:10-17 & John 8:31-32)

What does Christian hope look like in the middle of grief?

As we continue our journey through 1 Thessalonians, Dave explores how heartbreak and hope can coexist, even when loss feels overwhelming.

Join us as we consider Paul’s promise of resurrection, the hope of Jesus coming to renew all things, and how we can face grief honestly while learning to carry hope alongside it.

(Ephesians 6:10–17; Romans 10:14–15)

What does it mean to be ready for a spiritual battle?

In this message, we explore Paul’s image of the “shoes of the gospel of peace” and why the gospel is both our defence against the enemy’s lies and good news we carry to others.

Join us as we consider how to stand firm, respond with truth, and keep our shoes ready for the people God has placed around us.

(1 Thessalonians 4:1–12)

What does growth look like when it feels slow, ordinary, and unfinished?

What happens to love when the people we care about are suddenly out of reach?

In this message from our 1 Thessalonians series, we explore Paul’s experience of being "orphaned" and separated from a young church facing immense pressure. We unpack the powerful truth that true Christian love doesn't stop when presence becomes impossible.

Join us as Gavin unpacks how to transition from up-close influence to loving at a distance through earnest prayer, active encouragement, and a refusal to become passive.

In this message, Rupert opens Scripture to explore the reality of spiritual warfare and the hope, protection, and identity found in Christ. Looking at passages including Ephesians 6 and 1 Thessalonians 5, Rupert unpacks the “helmet of salvation” and reminds us that the Christian life is not passive - it is a daily journey of discipleship, perseverance, and learning to stand firm in God’s strength.

Love Up Close | 1 Thessalonians 2:1-13

Series: Thessalonians – Faithfulness Under Pressure

What does missional love actually look like up close?

In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul doesn’t mainly remind the church what he taught - he reminds them how he loved. Writing to a young church facing pressure and uncertainty, Paul reflects on a ministry marked by courage, authenticity, vulnerability, and deep spiritual investment.

Love up close creates the conditions where people can encounter the gospel as real.
