Have you ever wondered if you’re where God wants you to be? In this message, Jess Hood looks into Esther’s story from chapter 2 to 4, where she’s called to take a bold step "for such a time as this." Though God’s plan will unfold with or without us, He invites us to be part of His story. Join us to ask ourselves how God might be calling us to make a difference right where we are today.

Ever felt like life is just too complicated? Esther’s story shows us that even in the most challenging situations, God is working behind the scenes. She found unexpected favour not by chance but because of a faithful God and her steady trust in Him. Just as Jesus grew in favour with God and people, God invites us to be consistent in faith, no matter what we’re facing. Join us as Tim Lucas opens a conversation about how God might be calling you to trust Him more deeply, right where you are.

In this message from the Ask Anything series, Pastor Tim Lucas explores the question, "Can I Trust the Bible?" Through evidence from history, archaeology, and scripture, he shows how the Bible is reliable and authoritative. Whether you're curious about its origins, accuracy, or relevance today, this sermon provides clear answers to strengthen your faith in God's Word.

How do we become more dependent?

Jesus warns that sometimes even doing things that appear to be the things of God can be misguided and disobedient (Matthew 7:21-23). Trying to work out what it means to be a branch and working hard to become a branch is very different from remaining in the vine. This week, Andrew Mayne reminds us that true obedience – the kind of obedience that Jesus is looking for – begins and ends in love.

Like the leper in Matthew 8:2-3, as we become aware of our ‘uncleanness’ and ask Jesus to make us clean, we hear Him say, “I am willing.” Jesus will clean anyone who comes to Him. Join us this week as Tim Lucas encourages us that there is no other path to spiritual cleanliness than then remaining in Jesus.
