Do you feel there is no hope for you or someone that you know?

Is anyone too far from the reach of Christ?

Today's message shows that no one is beyond the love of Christ! He goes when others won't, He reaches where others can't and He transforms who others have disregarded!

Psychological research has long proposed the need-to-belong theory which states that belongingness is such a fundamental human motivation that we feel the consequences of not belonging severely.

But why is it that every human seems to lack a genuine sense of belonging?

Join Ian as he answers this question and explains from Ephesians 2:11-22 where we can find true belonging.

Most people speak thousands of words every single day.

How many of those words are effective and useful? How many of them make a positive difference in the lives of others?

God spoke the world into existence. Scripture says that Death and Life are in the power of the tongue. Our words hold great weight.

Today we look at how we can make the best possible use of the words that we speak from the book of Proverbs.

Here is part 2 of our series in Ephesians where Ian shares from Ephesians on:

1. What are we saved for?

2. What are we saved through?

The global climate has a way of making us feel like we are in limbo.

This can lead us to become lethargic or stagnant in our faith.

But the Lord is always at work. Our mission is clear. The battle rages. And we are called to be a part of it.

So from today….

Will you make a heartfelt decision to live all out for the Lord?

Will you choose to follow the commanding officer on the battlefield?

Will you get ready to compete to win the prize?

Will you prepare the land, plant the seed, care for the crops, and work hard making sure the harvest is plentiful?

The time is now!

Positive Before and After stories are always inspiring! It could be an old car that has been completely renewed, a stray animal who is now in perfect health, or a person who has recovered from a terrible accident. But why are we attracted to such stories?

It is because they are all shadows of the ultimate before and after story - the story of salvation.

As we continue in Ephesians today, Pastor Ian challenges us to consider the following:

What do we need to be saved from?

Who are we saved by?

And what are we saved to?

We hope you feel encouraged and inspired as you watch with us today.

Some people find organisation and planning a walk in the park - for others, it seems like the most difficult thing on earth.

What does the bible say about a life of diligence? How can we improve in this area if we are weak? And what is the huge danger we must be aware of when it comes to diligence?

Craig explores passages from the book of Proverbs as well as a story from the life of King Solomon.

Where do you turn during the hardest times in your life? How do you find meaning in the chaos?

Today Ian shares from Ephesians as we look at 4 key ways that we find meaning:

1. God

2. The Hope of His Call

3. The Glorious Riches of His Inheritance

4. His Power

We all need friendships. God has made us that way.

But how do we build GREAT friendships? What prevents us making lasting friendships?
