Most of us live trying to balance the demands of work with personal responsibilities as well as trying to have fun. But we tend to be left feeling overwhelmed, restless and stressed out. Yet what if God offers us a pattern that enables us to thrive? 

As Christians we are called to live in a way that wins the respect of those outside of the faith. Unfortunately we are often found doing the very things that lose respect.

This message looks at the two things that are needed in the workplace for us to win the respect of those around us.

Culture tells us we should work ethically, not exploitatively. While this is a good thing what if we could work in an even better way? A way where we refuse to exploit people and places, where we are ethical but we take it a step further and are redemptive?

Seeing work within the context of the meta narrative of the Bible helps us see and understand how God uses our everyday work to bring renewal and redemption to his creation. The amazing thing is we can chose to partner with Him in this, and if we do, it helps us find meaning and value no matter what work we do. 

Most people look at work as being either a necessity, something they have to do in order to live, or they make it an idol and define their life by their work. Yet what if there is a third way, a better way to see work. One that helps us bring our best to work no matter what that work is while keeping our work separate from our identity.

This week we conclude our Let there be Light series by exploring what it means for us to go and be people of the light. To bring hope in dark places because after all, if not us - then who?

This week we look at what does it mean for us personally to reflect on our own story within the topic of trauma. Are there areas we might need to bring to the light with trusted and safe people?

Are there behaviours that we continue to show that might be more harmful than helpful to others?

Join us as we prayerfully explore Jesus's invitation for his light to shine in the darkness. 

God's clear desire was for us to live abundant free lives and yet we live in a world riddled with darkness.

This series explores the topic of trauma, our personal needs and our outward responses to others. Whilst also strongly painting a picture of the great hope we have in Jesus, the victorious light Jesus brings to the darkest of situations and the mandate we as the church have been given to be ‘people of the light’.

This series comes with a trigger warning on sensitive and vulnerable topics but we promise to layer in plenty of supports and offerings for the journey you are on. 

The words that make up the Lords prayer are most likely the most repeated words of all time as the prayer is quoted verbatim on so many occasions.

Today we look at how this prayer provides a pattern we can use very time we pray.

Tethered prayers keep us and our faith on track, yet untethered prayers can derail us.

Today we look at how we should tether our prayers and why it is so important that we do so.
