Our very own Holly Belshaw brings a challenging and inspiring message on how we teach our kids at Light Church. Drawing from Matthew 19, Proverbs 22, and the Psalms, this preach reframes how we see children - not as future believers, but as present participants in God’s kingdom - while also confronting the depth of our own faith as adults. Holly highlights how the children’s knowledge of God and Scripture may both surprise and convict us, inviting us to grow through practices like scripture memorisation, listening for the Holy Spirit, and engaging with the parts of the Bible we often skip through. This message will hopefully reignite your passion and hunger for the word of God.

Our Pastor Dan Belshaw opens the year with a grounding message from Psalm 131, calling us to a life of trust, surrender, and quiet confidence in God. This message reframes purpose, challenging the pressure to strive, achieve, and prove ourselves. Instead, it invites us into a deeper contentment rooted in humility and daily faithfulness. In a culture driven by ambition and noise, this gathering reminds us that true purpose is formed through obedience, availability, and hope in God. A timely invitation to start the year centred, steady, and anchored in Him.

In the final week of our Advent series Does This Mean Something?, Pastor Dan Belshaw preaches You Promise?, a reflection on God as both promise maker and promise keeper. In this message Dan explores why promises are only as trustworthy as the character behind them. While many things in life promise meaning but fail to deliver, Christmas reveals a faithful God who keeps His word by stepping into history Himself. This message invites us to slow down, trust God’s character, and sit at the feet of Jesus this Christmas.

In week three of our Advent series, Does This Mean Something?, Pastor Dan Belshaw explores the familiar Christmas story and the unexpected responses to Jesus’ birth. From shepherds and wise men to Herod and the household that missed Him, this message invites us to see ourselves in the story and consider our own response. This message reminds us that God steps into humanity offering peace, joy, and the invitation to become children of God today together.

In the second message of our Advent series Does This Mean Something?, Lyndsey Holmes invites us to look at the Christmas story through the eyes of Joseph. Speaking from Matthew 1:18-25, she traces Joseph’s journey from fear to faith as he faces an unexpected future, a divine interruption, and a call to obedience. Through Joseph’s quiet courage and immediate trust, we’re reminded that God is with us in every circumstance - and when we acknowledge Him and let go of control, He transforms our perspective and leads us faithfully forward.

In the first message of our Advent series Does This Mean Something?, Pastor Dan Belshaw encourages us to pause and consider the Christmas story through Mary’s eyes. Speaking from Luke 1:26-38, he highlights the weight of God’s promise, the shock of Gabriel’s announcement, and how easily we overlook what this moment meant for an ordinary girl in an ordinary place. As Mary steps into uncertainty with faith and surrender, we’re reminded that God is faithful to His promises - and He often works out His greatness through the ordinary.

In this week’s message from our series Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World, Pastor Dan Belshaw explores the power of our words in a culture overflowing with noise. Drawing from Proverbs and the teachings of Jesus, “What Are You Saying?” challenges us to slow down, listen to understand, and speak with intention. Our words can nourish or wound, heal or harm - and they reveal what’s happening in our hearts. Join us as we discover how wisdom shapes the way we speak and how the bible actually transforms the voice we carry into the world.

In week six of our series Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World, Pastor Dan Belshaw shares an inspiring message titled “This Changes the Course of Your Life.” Drawing from Proverbs 4:20-27, Dan explores the biblical call to guard our hearts - the deep place where our thoughts, desires, and decisions flow from. Rather than focusing on outward behaviour, this message invites us to return to the source, allowing God to bring deep inner change. Be encouraged to realign your heart and pursue the life God intends for you.

In week 5 of our series Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World, our very own Paul Holmes shares a message titled “I’m So Angry.”
Anger is something we all feel - but how we handle it shapes who we become. Drawing from Proverbs, Paul explores how to choose calm over chaos, understanding over impulse, and strength over reaction. This message invites you to pause, reflect, and discover how God can transform even our anger into something redemptive and life-giving.

In week 4 of our series Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World, three speakers from Light Churchdeliver a message titled "Who Are Your Friends?"
Friendship shapes who we become. In this week’s message, Dave Awde unpacks how walking with the wise transforms our lives, Chiko Chupa explores the beauty of deep, authentic counsel, and our pastor Dan Belshaw challenges us to embrace truth-telling friendships that sharpen our faith. Drawing from Proverbs and the life of Jesus, this conversation invites you to reflect, realign, and rediscover the kind of friendships that lead you closer to wisdom - and closer to Christ.
