In the third week of our series Honest To God, Hols dives into Psalm 42 with a powerful reminder: real strength begins with real honesty. Hols challenges us with the fact that it's probably time to drop the “I’m fine” mask and get honest with God - pain, questions, and all. This message gives us permission to feel, to pause, and to hope again. Whether we're soaring or struggling, we're invited to meet God in the middle of it and praise before the breakthrough.

Paul Holmes opens up our new series Honest to God , where we journey through Psalm 103, reflecting on our tendency to forget God’s goodness in the busyness of life. In this message Paul shares personal stories and biblical truths that remind us of God’s forgiveness, healing, redemption, and sustaining love. It’s an invitation to pause, remember, and respond with gratitude.

This week, our good friend Dan Cronin shared from Joshua 1:1-9, encouraging us to keep stepping forward in faith. We’re not called to stay still - we’re invited into a journey with God, who promises His presence wherever we go. Dan reminded us that strength and courage aren’t about having it all together, but about trusting the One who never leaves us. He challenged us to build our lives on God’s Word - not just hearing it, but letting it shape us from the inside out.

Dan Belshaw preached an Easter Sunday message to close out our Lenten series. It was a message all about trades - is Christianity a 'bad trade'? Or is there something to gain that is beyond what we thought? Check out this message to see! Happy Easter.

Speaking on the final Sunday of Lent, Pastor Dan Belshaw brought a Palm Sunday message from Matthew 21 where Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a humble donkey. Framing it around the idea of our expectations, Dan looked at four parts of this passage and how it confront our often self-centred expectations God. Sometimes we can be so wrapped up in our expectations that we actually miss what God is doing right in front of us. Are you in your own way?

Joining us from North Church in Leeds, Abs Niblock brought us into week five of our series 'FROM___TO'. Speaking from Mark 10, Abs looked at the story of blind Bartimaeus and how he called out for Jesus, Jesus heard him, stopped and healed him. Abs challenged us on how often, just like the crowd did to Bartimaeus, we 'shush' ourselves and stop ourselves from calling out to God. How desperate are we for God to actually show up in our situations and lives? God hears and answers when we call to Him.

Hols Belshaw took us into week 4 of 'FROM__TO', speaking from Mark 8, where Jesus calls His disciples to “carry their cross.” Her message, titled “From Self to Surrender,” explored Jesus’ words: “Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Me.” Hols talked about how we live in a world that constantly focuses on the self, whereas Jesus teaches that true life is only found in surrendering to Him.

Hols reminded us that this isn’t a one-time decision but a daily choice. True freedom comes in letting go. So, what do you need to surrender to God today?

Dan Belshaw took us into week 3 of 'FROM__ TO__' by looking at why humanity is so susceptible to fear and how we can live a life truly free from fear. Are you sick of being fearful? There is a way to be free - God can take us from fear, to peace.

Dan Belshaw brought the second part of our Lent series 'FROM__ TO__', looking at Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. Dan highlighted that true freedom is not found in running from God but in returning to Him. He explained how the younger son sought independence but ended up broken, realising that sin promises freedom yet leads to emptiness. His turning point wasn’t just conviction nor just action, but it was the embrace of the Father who welcomed the undeserving Son back into the family. The older son’s resentment reflected the Pharisees' self-righteousness, missing the joy of God’s redemptive mission. Dan emphasised that Jesus didn’t come for mere moral reform but to bring dead souls to life, calling all to move from lost to found.

Kicking off our brand-new series, FROM__, TO__., Dan Belshaw began with Jesus’ time of testing in the wilderness, found in Matthew 4:1-11. Examining the three temptations of Christ, Dan highlighted how we often face temptation in much the same way - especially when we’re tired and alone. He also tackled the fear many of us have in admitting our struggles, reminding us that within every temptation lies a choice: to choose wisely or unwisely. Temptation isn’t a matter of if, but when it strikes- and it can, and must, be resisted.
