Prayer is something everyone does — somewhere, somehow, sometime. But many people lack confidence when they pray. In this message from Jason Elsmore we talk about how praying the prayers of Scripture gives us confidence because God’s Word is powerful, promise-filled, permanent, prophetic, and personal.

What if the very thing that feels too heavy for you is the very place God wants to meet you? Susan Elsmore opens up Psalm 103 which reminds us that God is not asking you to carry what only He was designed to carry. You don’t have to strive harder, pretend you’re stronger than you are, or have all the answers — you are invited to trust the God who is compassionate, faithful, and mighty.

Are you living potted, or planted? Tim Lucas share in this message that a potted plant can look healthy for a while, but its growth is limited. A planted tree grows slowly, deeply, and steadily, drawing life from living water and staying strong through storms. The same is true spiritually.

As we step into 2026, we all face the same choice: will we be distracted by worry, or will we dwell in the presence of God? In Psalm 84, the sons of Korah declare that one day in God’s presence is better than a thousand elsewhere. In this message, Jason Elsmore reminds us that we can enjoy God’s presence anywhere, anytime - but we live in a deeply distracted culture.

You can trust a lot of things… until you can’t. In a world of filters, deepfakes, generative AI, and constant opinions, the question gets urgent: what is true?

In this first Sunday of 2026, Andrew Mayne opens Psalm 25 to come back to a simple foundation: God is consistent, good, loving, and present, no matter what the year holds.

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, this message from Derek Peters invites us to reset not our to-do list, but our inner vision. Before change ever shows up in our behaviour, it begins in how we see God, and how we see ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually inferior, distant from God, or stuck in cycles of guilt and effort, this message is for you.

Christmas reminds us that God’s promises are not forgotten — they are fulfilled. In this message, Lauren Lucas reflects on the promise of a King foretold by the prophet Isaiah and revealed in the birth of Jesus. This King is unlike any earthly ruler. He came close, chose to dwell with His people, and invites us to approach Him with confidence. As we consider Jesus’ eternal kingdom, we’re invited to pause, reflect, and ask this question: How am I approaching King Jesus?If you need prayer, we're here for you.

When life leaves us shaken by fear, anxiety, broken promises, sickness, family tensions or financial pressure, can we really trust God to keep His promises? In this sermon, we trace the story of King Ahaz, Israel, Assyria and the coming Messiah, and see how God proves Himself to be a promise-keeping God who gives strength to stand firm in the fight and a word of hope in season. We explore what it means to listen to God’s story, not the story in our head, and how Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection confirm that every promise of God finds its “Yes” in Him.

Lauren Lucas looks at Jonah 4 and the three confronting questions God asks Jonah that expose a misaligned heart:

- Are we more consumed with our own comfort than concerned for God’s kingdom?

- What makes us angry?

- Are we avoiding the conversations God is trying to have with us?

As we explore Jonah’s anger, God’s compassion, and His heart for a whole city, we’re invited to let the Holy Spirit realign our hearts with God’s heart and believe again for revival, reconciliation and a great awakening in our families, our communities and our nation.

Jonah’s story reminds us that God is a God of second chances, that no one is beyond His reach, and that He delights in using imperfect people to share His message. With nothing but eight simple words, Jonah walked into the great city of Nineveh, and God sparked one of the greatest spiritual revivals in Scripture.
