While we often focus on the breakthrough, we rarely talk about the waiting in between—the silence of Saturday before the joy of Sunday. In those seasons of uncertainty, grief, and unanswered questions, we are called to be honest with God, keep showing up, trust Him when we don't understand, remain patient as He works in the margins, and listen carefully for His voice.

Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock

The loudest voice in our lives ultimately shapes the direction of our lives—not necessarily the loudest in volume, but the loudest in influence. We are challenged to recognise the voices shaping our thinking, adjust the volume by giving God’s voice the microphone, and use our own words to bring encouragement, hope, and freedom to others. Ultimately, God’s promise, “I will be with you,” becomes the loudest voice of all—a reminder that even when others have abandoned, rejected, or hurt us, God never leaves, and His presence is enough to overcome every fear. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

Even when life feels confusing, painful, or unfair, God is still at work behind the scenes. When circumstances overwhelm us, or the story unfolding before us is not the one we expected, the key encouragement is that God never stops writing our story. What may feel like a dead end or a reason to walk away could be part of a greater narrative that God is revealing, inviting us to trust Him even when we cannot yet see the outcome.

Speaker - Laura Hancock

Then God remembered... Sometimes the greatest challenge is simply surviving the storm. God never forgets His people, even in seasons that feel silent, difficult or uncertain. Just because we cannot always see God working does not mean He has stopped working, and even after long seasons of silence, God is still faithful to His promises.

Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans.

God often chooses ordinary, fragile people to carry His extraordinary presence. Like a simple paper cup, our weakness and humanity do not disqualify us; they actually reveal God’s power more clearly. We should stop striving to appear impressive and instead allow God’s light and beauty to shine through our everyday lives.

Speaker - Stuart Blount

The greatest gift God gives isn’t a thing, but His presence. We often search for fulfilment in temporary things, while God offers something lasting and life-changing —the gift that keeps on giving, bringing power, purpose and a deeper relationship with God.

Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans.

Guest speaker Lance Witt unpacks the powerful story of Jesus raising Lazarus in John 11, reminding us that miracles are not just about extraordinary events, but about pointing us to the person of Jesus. Through grief, doubt and unanswered questions, we were encouraged that Jesus enters into our pain with compassion, offers eternal hope through His resurrection power, and calls us to trust Him even when life feels uncertain. In a world full of “what ifs”, this message challenged us to live with an “even if” faith — holding onto Jesus because He is the resurrection and the life.

Speaker - Lance Witt, Replenish.

While we naturally limit our love to safe circles, we’re called to expand them to include difficult, different, and even challenging people. Practically, this means starting small in everyday interactions, taking relational risks that stretch us, and ultimately “living loved” by first receiving God’s deep, personal love for us. The result is a visible, transformative love that becomes the true evidence of a life following Jesus.

Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans.

Life can feel full of struggle, weakness and unanswered questions. The Bible reminds us that God does give strength—but not in a simplistic or instant way. Instead, strength is renewed as we “hope” in God, actively recalling His past faithfulness and trusting He will act again. This kind of hopeful, expectant waiting reshapes our perspective, enabling us to exchange our limited strength for His, and to keep going with renewed endurance—even in the midst of difficulty.

Speaker - Gareth Blount, Assistant Pastor.

What we often avoid—disruption, inconvenience, and complexity—may actually be where God does His greatest work. Making room for more people, more faith, and more of what God wants to do will rarely feel neat or comfortable, but mess doesn’t mean mayhem—it can be the very space where transformation happens. The question is: are we willing to embrace the mess, not just for our own breakthrough, but so others can encounter Jesus too?
