Devotional: Psalm 91 | Andrew Flaxman | FHL Church

In this devotional, Andrew Flaxman takes us through Psalm 91, a beautiful reminder of what it means to dwell in the presence of God and find our refuge in Him.

In seasons of uncertainty, fear or difficulty, Psalm 91 draws our attention back to the faithfulness of God. He is our shelter, our refuge and the One in whom we can place our trust.

This devotional encourages us not simply to visit the presence of God when we need Him, but to make our home there to dwell in the shelter of the Most High and learn to rest under His covering.

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” — Psalm 91:1

**In Partnership with the Creator | Jillie Flaxman | FHL Church**

In this message, Jillie Flaxman explores Genesis 2:15 and the invitation we have to live and work in partnership with our Creator.

From the very beginning, God placed humanity in the garden not simply to enjoy what He had made, but to work it and take care of it. We were created to cultivate, steward and bring life to what God has placed in our hands.

This message invites us to see our everyday work, creativity, relationships and responsibilities differently, not as separate from our faith, but as places where we can partner with God and participate in what He is doing in the world.

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Genesis 2:15

Pentecost Sunday | Pastor Andrew Flaxman

On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Andrew Flaxman takes us to Acts 2:1 and the moment the disciples were gathered together in one place when the promised Holy Spirit came upon them.

Pentecost reminds us that the Holy Spirit was not given simply for a moment in history, but to empower the Church to live, witness and carry the presence of Jesus into the world.

This message invites us to rediscover the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, to make room for Him in our lives, and to remember that we were never called to follow Jesus in our own strength.

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.” — Acts 2:1

Practicing the Way: Service | Andrew Flaxman

Continuing our Practicing the Way series, Andrew Flaxman unpacks the practice of SERVICE and what it looks like to follow the example of Jesus in laying down our lives for others.

Following on from ANZAC Day the day before, this message reflects on the powerful example of sacrifice and service we see in those who have gone before us, and brings it back to the way of Jesus.

Service isn’t simply something we do, it is part of who we are becoming as followers of Christ. Jesus modelled a life of humility, sacrifice and putting others before Himself, inviting us to do the same in the ordinary places of our everyday lives.

A message encouraging us to ask: "What does it look like for me to take the posture of a servant and practise the way of Jesus?"

A New Command I Give You: Love One Another | Pastor Chris Brown

In this message, guest speaker Pastor Chris Brown from 101 Church shares on the new command Jesus gave His disciples: “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

Jesus didn’t simply call us to love, He showed us what love looks like. A love that is sacrificial, intentional and recognisable to the world around us.

As followers of Jesus, the way we love one another is one of the greatest demonstrations of who He is. This message encourages us to look again at the way Jesus loves and allow that same love to shape our relationships, our church and the way we live.

John 13:34–35

In this episode, we celebrate the ordination of great pastors rising within the FHL community—leaders formed in the pioneer spirit of Nehemiah. Just as Nehemiah rebuilt the walls with a tool in one hand and a sword in the other, these pastors step into their callings ready to build, protect, pray, and persevere. We explore what it means to lead in a season that feels like a new pioneer age: carving new paths, strengthening the weak places, and advancing God’s kingdom with courage and conviction. Join us as we honor the builders, the warriors, and the shepherds God is raising up for such a time as this.

-Pastor Phil Oldfield

In this episode, we explore the surprising way Scripture weaves suffering and joy together as instruments of God’s transforming grace. From the deep roots of the cedars of Lebanon to Paul’s powerful words in Romans 5, we discover how trials shape endurance, endurance forms character, and character blossoms into unshakable hope. Join us as we unpack how God meets us in distress, strengthens us through adversity, and teaches us to rejoice even in the hardest seasons—because His love is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

In this episode, we explore the tension between our expectations of church and the reality of God’s work in community, drawing inspiration from the early church in Acts. Many of us hope for a “perfect,” always-blessed, thriving church—but how can we respond when reality falls short of that ideal? Together, we’ll reflect on how the early believers navigated their expectations, built authentic relationships, and embraced kindness toward one another. Join us as we discuss practical ways to cultivate generosity, patience, and grace in our own faith communities, learning to approach church life with hearts that are as open as they are hopeful.

// Pastor Jesse

In this episode, we dive into Joshua 1 and explore what it truly means to serve the Lord with wholehearted devotion. As Joshua steps into a new season of leadership, God calls him—and us—to courage, obedience, and faithfulness. We’ll unpack practical ways to live out that call in our daily lives, embracing God’s promises while trusting Him to guide our steps. Join us as we reflect on how wholehearted service transforms not just our actions, but our hearts, as we follow God faithfully in every season.
