Fear is a natural emotional state in the world today. But fear thrives in the extremes.

So in a world preoccupied by fear, will we live in the extremes? Or will we choose a path that exists in neither extreme, but in a wise balance between them?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us how we can choose to not give in to fear, but instead stay focused on the task at hand

Things are changing. They are more than they have been. But they are also not what they once were. And if we're honest, they may never be that way again.

So what do we do in the gap? How do we worship in the knowledge that things may never be the same again? And what if our 'gap' is not a season, but instead part of a healthy relationship with Jesus?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us that grieving, celebrating, mourning, joy; in fact, all of our emotions are all a part of worshipping our unwaveringly good God.

Life is moving at an incredible pace today. It seems like as soon as we get used to the 'new normal', it changes again. So how do we move forward?

So you want to live a longer life? Go to church.

It's not that simple, but research from Harvard University (amongst others) suggests that "religious community" is one of a few very important parts of 'Flourishing', and that neglecting these things is slowly becoming a health crisis. Is your week improving your health, or causing it to be harmed?

Where will you be this Sunday?

When will we be able to recover what we have lost? To get back to the 'glory days'? Or have we romanticised the glory days into something they never were, therefore setting ourselves an unachievable goal for the future?

Join us this week as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why some of the keys to pressing on into a bright, prosperous future, are acknowledging the past for what it was, and remembering well, so we can press on into the amazing opportunities God has placed in front of us.

"Moving forward, your church needs you, because you are the church" - Nick Barber

We know that different people have different skills and gifts. The apostle Paul tells us that different people bring different gifts to the body. But have we unfairly allocated more value to some gifts than others, thereby ostracising those the body needs?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why all parts of the body of Christ are not only important, but why there is no such thing as a 'less important' part.

In an environment of fear, outrage, offence, and distrust, who are we called to be as followers of Jesus? When it's easier to join in, what does it look like to truly stand out?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shows us what Jesus tells us about how we are not only to act and behave, but also how we show up in our community in the midst of the chaos?

Unity in this world seems to be at an all time low. The 'us' and 'them'. The 'me' vs 'you'. But what does Jesus call us to in this season. Is He on our side?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why it's not about Jesus being on our side. That rather than calling us to fight in His name, He is calling us to love the world in an effort to bring about unity and collaboration in a world that is tearing itself apart.

As we delve into the second half of the book of John, we turn to Jesus and explore both how the passion of Jesus was demonstrated through His own life, but also what that tells us about how Jesus wants us to live our lives.

'Inbetween' seasons are common place today. So when Peter went fishing during his inbetween season, was it ignoring his calling? Or is sometimes 'going fishing' just what Jesus calls us to do?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us why the reset of 'going fishing' can sometimes be the moment when Jesus shows up most amazingly in our lives.

As we delve into the second half of the book of John, we turn to Jesus and explore both how the passion of Jesus was demonstrated through His own life, but also what that tells us about how Jesus wants us to live our lives.

What will it take for your belief to be more active than passive. What are you waiting for before your belief turns into trust?

Join us as Pastor Nick Barber as he shares with us why true belief and trust in who Jesus is leads not only to the hope of a life after death, but also to an active, wholehearted, faithful, blessed life in this season.

Often, context is key. How often do we look at our situation and think 'God must just not be in this'? Can God work during the difficulties and disappointments?

Listen as Pastor Nick Barber shares with us some ways that we can be looking for God's grace during the difficult times. Or how we can move forward knowing that His grace will eventually show through.
