Isaiah 9 speaks of external threats to Israel and the internal corruption of their hearts. These are challenges that mirror the worries and concerns of the world we live in and the darkness in people’s souls today. Pastor Pete shows how the coming of Jesus brings hope. The darkness of our hearts can only be overcome when we connect and stay connected with Him.

Pastor Pete reminds us that God not only sees the future but has already secured it. From Romans 8, he unpacks the golden chain of salvation – those God foreknew, He predestined, called, justified, and glorified. Though glorification is still ahead of us, Scripture speaks of it as already done, assuring us it is guaranteed.

The heart of Pastor Pete’s message is that God saved us to bring us into His family, choosing us to become His children. It emphasises the incredible truth that adoption was always God’s plan A – through Jesus Christ, we are made sons and daughters and co-heirs with Christ.

In this message, Pastor Adedoyin dives into the incredible truth that although humanity’s relationship with God was shattered by sin, Jesus came to restore it fully. Through His perfect life, death, and resurrection, we become a new creation – brought back into God’s presence and freed from the sin that once separated us. As people reconciled to God, we’re invited not only to believe this good news for ourselves, but to share it boldly with others as ambassadors of His love and restoration.

Pastor Pete’s message unpacks the meaning of justification. Through the Cross, Jesus took our guilt, not only declaring us justified, but also crediting us with His righteousness – this is a gift we receive when we place our faith in Him. Our eternal standing is secured, and we are welcomed into heaven not by what we have done, but by what He has done for us.

In Part two of ‘The best news ever’ series, Pastor Paul look at the biblical theme of ‘Redemption’ - what it means, what it looks like and the freedom it brings us.

How can God’s justice and love meet? At the heart of Pastor Pete’s message is that propitiation is the act by which Jesus, through His sacrifice on the Cross, bore God’s righteous anger against sin and evil. In that moment, God’s justice was fully satisfied and His wrath turned away, allowing His love and mercy to be shown towards mankind.

Pastor Jessica highlights the importance of the Apostles’ teaching in the early Church and encourages us to be fully devoted to Jesus, and to be wholehearted in our commitment to His Great Commission and Great Commandment.

Jesus has given us a clear vision to love God, love people and to make disciples. Join us as we unpack this vision – it sets out our destination for the next season. We also include an important finance update from the past year.

In Part 1 of our Vision series, Pastor Pete shares ‘We are City on a Hill’ – a message exploring the meaning behind our name, drawn from Matthew 5, and our calling to shine brightly as a welcoming church. We celebrate how God has worked through us in the last few years, shaping our influence and preparing us for what’s ahead.
