The Creed begins with God as Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. That’s a radical claim in a world that often feels random and impersonal. If God is Father, then we are not alone. If God is Creator, then our lives are not accidents.

What implications are there for us and the way we live our lives? Join Anna and Stu as they listen to Danny and share their thoughts.

We often think belief is optional or purely intellectual—but in reality, every person lives by a framework of belief. The opening words of the Creed—“I believe”—invite us to step beyond vague spirituality and consciously place our trust somewhere. This isn’t blind faith; it’s a response to a story that claims to make sense of the world, of suffering, and of our own lives.

Join us for this challenging new series.

Abigail - not a well known character but such a wise women. Rev Kerry Evans finishes up the excellent subversive women series and reminds us not only to seek wisdom, but to have the humility to listen to and learn from the wise.

Throughout this series we've seen again and again, at the moments that mattered most, it wasn’t the obvious people who changed the story… it was those willing to step in, speak up, and act.

Do we write people off as not being suitable for a role? Maybe we don't consider them qualified..? Maybe we wrtie ourselves off and think there's no way we can do the things we feel we should.

The story of Deborah and Jael shows us that God uses suprising people - and that includes us.

And there are also some good gory tent peg details...

Miranda opens up the story of Rahab to us. It's a great story (find it in Joshua chapter 2 onwards in the bible if you're interested) and Rahab seems a very unlikely person to be part of God's big story. Have a listen as Miranda helps us consider the part we may be able to play in the same story.

And make sure you hang around to hear Phil and Sue chat about it afterwards. They speak honestly and are a good listen.

The book Phil recommends is A Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers.

You don’t have to reject God to drift from Him—you just have to replace Him.

This week, we look at how good things like success, security, or relationships can slowly take centre stage in our lives. The result? A divided heart and a restless soul. Jesus shows us how to re-centre what matters most.

(Matthew 6:19–24). Neil shares his thoughts: Anna and Angie are your hosts.

Why do small issues turn into big problems?

In this opening message, we explore how unresolved anger quietly creates distance between us and God—and how what we leave unaddressed can shape our lives more than we realise. If something feels “off” in your relationships or your faith, this could be why.

Ephesians 4:25–32
