The condition of our hearts can help or hinder God’s plans. In this new series, Pastor Pete unpacks the parable of the Sower and the importance of having receptive hearts to allow God’s Word to grow in our lives.

As we prepare to relaunch into our communities, Dave Holden brings us a very timely message to remind us of God’s faithfulness. God has carried us in the past, He is carrying us now and He will continue to carry us tomorrow. Changes happen, but we can face the future with confidence because underneath us are His everlasting arms.

In Part 3 of this series, Pastor Pete identifies the voices of opposition that often come our way when we obey God’s call to the vision He planted in us. Pastor Pete also encourages us to stand firm like Nehemiah did, and not let those voices stop us from doing God’s work, for He is with us.

Ever felt daunted by a seemingly impossible task? In Part 2 of this series, Pastor Paul looks at Nehemiah and the people who worked together to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Each of us has a part to play and when we serve together, we too can fulfill God’s purposes for us and for our communities.

Will you risk your life, your reputation, and your comfort for God’s purpose? In Part 1 of this new series, Pastor Pete looks at the life of Nehemiah who understood the needs of his fellow Jews and willingly left the security of his job to step out on a God-given passion.

This Easter, we remember Mary Magdalene’s devotion to Jesus. She was the last at the Cross, and the first at the tomb – and as a result, the first to witness the resurrected Christ, the first to see and to hear Him, and the one chosen to announce the good news to His apostles.

Sin is mankind substituting himself for God. Salvation is God substituting Himself for us. Like Barabbas, we too deserve the death sentence, without any hope of self-salvation. And like Barabbas, we too can be set free because Jesus has taken our place on the Cross.

Despite the Jewish leaders’ claim to the contrary, Pilate found no guilt in Jesus. Yet, he still allowed Him to be crucified to appease them. Pilate’s dilemma is every man’s dilemma after an encounter with Jesus - would we follow the crowd, or would we choose to submit and declare Him Lord?

In this message, Pastor Pete compares and contrasts two of Jesus’ disciples – Peter and Judas. They were both followers of Jesus, but Judas’ life ended in despair, while Peter became one of the founding fathers of the Christian Church. What can we learn from them, so our life does not end like Judas’?

As followers of Christ, the only things we can give Him that He doesn’t already have are our free will, love and adoration. In Part 1 of this ‘Encounters with Jesus’ series, Pastor Pete gives us an insightful reminder of what true, extravagant worship really means.
