Everything God has spoken over you is still possible, and as a church, we must carry those truths forward—loving God, loving people, making disciples, and impacting our city with Spirit-led purpose.

Ash urges the church to remember God’s faithfulness from the past year, carry those “memorial stones” into the future, and embrace its calling as a Spirit-led, worshipful, prayerful altar in the city that reaches the nations with renewed vision and holiness.

George Eybers' sermon teaches that every believer is sent by Jesus into everyday life as His ambassador, called to rebuild and transform the world around them—not just in church, but in the other six days of the week.

Ash teaches that believers must resist the world’s labels and remember who they are in Christ.

Our identity shapes how we live and represent Jesus.

Scripture reminds us we are new creations, God’s children, and His chosen people.

Kim Wheeler teaches that emotions—especially negative ones—are invitations from God into a deeper relationship, not things to hide or control. Confession means telling God the full truth about what we think and feel, and repentance means aligning our thinking with His truth. Negative behaviours are “fruit,” while the real issues lie in the false beliefs at the “root.” Using personal examples and stories from Peter’s encounter with Jesus and Jesus in Gethsemane, she shows how honest confession leads to hearing God’s perspective and responding with “because You say so” or “nevertheless.” The message ends by inviting listeners to name a negative emotion, uncover the false belief behind it, and embrace God’s truth.

Ash calls the church to a fresh, purpose-filled surrender: healthy believers live like Jesus is returning soon—praying, gathering, giving, and sharing the gospel. Using Antioch (Acts 11–13) as a model, he outlines a healthy “base church”: one that looks like the nations, sounds like Jesus, lives by the Spirit, and reaches beyond itself. Practically: evangelism + discipleship, Spirit-led worship, generous mission, and a weekly prayer push (starting Thursday at the Thatch Hall).

Dan’s message, “Why the Church,” anchors in Matthew 16 at Caesarea Philippi: Jesus builds His Church at the very “gates of hell” to push back darkness. We’re (1) a Jesus people, (2) a mission people, (3) a people people (the “one anothers”), and (4) a presence people—nothing without the Holy Spirit.

In this message from John 1:19–51, we explore a simple, relational way to reach the lost: come and see. John the Baptist points to Jesus; the first disciples spend real time with Him. Andrew brings his brother, and Jesus finds Philip, who brings Nathanael—scepticism and all—until a Spirit-led moment opens his heart. Ash calls us to carry the Great Commandment, the Great Commission, and the Great Infilling, trading complacency for availability. Start where trust already exists, invite people into proximity with Jesus, and expect Him to do “greater things.”

The message also explores how business and leadership intersect with the kingdom of God, drawing on examples from Paul Polman of Unilever, the role of Priscilla and Aquila in the early church, and the transformative efforts of leaders in South Africa’s history. From planting small churches to shaping nations, the call is to build together with shared values and a servant heart.

Stuart preaches about the importance of understanding Christ's nature and work in the context of Christian faith. He discusses how a deep comprehension of Christology can lead to a more profound relationship with God and a more effective witness to others. Stark also explores the practical implications of Christological beliefs in everyday Christian living.
