Romans 1:16–17 | Pastor Anthony Watson

The Road Home

Where are you looking for hope?

Through Isaiah’s invitation to “Come” and Paul’s declaration that the gospel is “the power of God for salvation,” we journey along the Romans Road to discover humanity’s greatest need and God’s greatest gift.

This message explores why we all need saving, how Christ has done everything necessary through the cross, and why the invitation to come home is still open to everyone who believes.

The road home doesn’t begin when we get our lives together. It begins when we come to Jesus.

Hebrews 12:1–4 | Guest Speaker: Peter Bartlett

How do we keep following Jesus when life is difficult?

Hebrews 12 reminds us that the Christian life is not a sprint but a race of endurance. Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses and called to lay aside every weight, we’re invited to fix our eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross and now reigns in glory.

Join guest speaker Peter Bartlett from EARS Inc. as he opens God’s Word and encourages us to persevere in faith, keeping our hope firmly anchored in Christ.

John 4:19–26 | Pastor Anthony Watson

Where do we truly meet with God?

In His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, Jesus turns the focus away from sacred places and religious traditions, revealing that the Father is seeking worshippers who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

Join us as we discover how Jesus transforms our understanding of worship, showing that it is no longer centred on a place, but on a Person. Through Christ, every moment of life becomes an opportunity to glorify God.

True worship is a life centred on Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and lived for the glory of the Father.

Psalm 63 | Pastor Anthony Watson

What is the greatest threat to a thriving relationship with God?

Often it isn’t outright rejection of God, but slowly becoming familiar with Him. In Psalm 63, David shows us what wholehearted worship looks like—a heart that longs for God’s presence above everything else, even in the wilderness.

Join us as we explore what it means to behold God with our whole heart, discovering that true worship flows from a deep love for Him, a life surrendered to Him, and the confidence that He alone can truly satisfy.

True worship begins with a heart that seeks God above all else.

Isaiah 6:1–8 | Pastor Anthony Watson

What happens when we truly see God for who He is?

As we begin our Heart of Worship series, we step into Isaiah’s breathtaking vision of the Lord, high and exalted, holy beyond measure, and worthy of all our worship. Discover how beholding God’s holiness transforms our view of ourselves, deepens our understanding of His grace, and calls us to lives of wholehearted surrender.

True worship begins when we behold the holiness of God.

Luke 10:25–37 Pastor Anthony Watson | Sunday 28 June 2026

The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus’ best-known stories, but is there more to it than simply being a good neighbour?

In this message, we look beyond the familiar moral lesson to discover the heart of the gospel. Before Jesus calls us to show mercy, He reveals Himself as the One who comes to us in our brokenness. When we are unable to rescue ourselves, Christ draws near with compassion, healing, and grace.

A message about mercy, salvation, and the Saviour who meets us on the road.

Psalm 145; Luke 11:1-4 Peter Nelson | Sunday 21 June 2026

Habakkuk 3:17-19 Pastor Anthony Watson | Sunday 14 June 2026

What happens when life doesn’t go the way we hoped?

Through the prophet Habakkuk, we explore what it means to trust God when we don’t understand, when circumstances change, when loss comes, and when the future feels uncertain.

A message about faith, perseverance, and discovering that Christ is enough—even if.

Mark 8:27-38 | Pastor Anthony Watson
