Guest speaker Ben Dainton askes us to to ask God the courageous questions. Fear tells us to stay in the boat, but this message asks what it might look like to take a courageous step of faith. Walking through Matthew 14:22–33, the speaker looks at Peter stepping onto the water and challenges us to ask God the courageous questions we often avoid—then choose obedience when fear kicks in.

It’s a reminder that courage usually isn’t one huge leap. More often, it’s a small step: starting the conversation, surrendering control, sharing your faith, saying no to sin, or simply asking God, “What do you want from me?”

In this message, Andrew explores spiritual warfare, the subtle ways things can pull us away from Jesus, and what it means to stand firm in Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 2:4–6 and Ephesians 6:10–11, the speaker unpacks the idea that we don’t fight for our identity—we stand from the identity God has already given us, as forgiven, adopted, made new, and seated with Christ.

It’s a strong reminder to recognise the things that quietly enslave us, return to Jesus quickly when we get pulled off course, and remember who we are—and whose we are.

Graeme looks at Acts 16:13–34 and the “midnight” moments when life feels darkest and most uncertain. Through Paul and Silas, he explores what it looks like to surrender to God’s direction, stay connected to Him in prayer, and keep your focus on Jesus when everything falls apart.

It’s a challenge to see people through heaven’s eyes, trust God when the breakthrough hasn’t come yet, and remember that the darkest hour can become the place where God moves in powerful ways.

Pastor Graeme unpacks Jesus’ parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1–13 and asks a pretty direct question: are we actually ready for the King to return, or are we just looking the part? He challenges the difference between religious performance and a real, life-changing relationship with Jesus, pointing us back to grace, the Holy Spirit, and what Christ has already done for us.

This is a wake-up call to stop relying on appearances and get serious about knowing Jesus while there is still time. The bridegroom is coming, and none of us knows the day or the hour.

Michael Keefe from Compassion joins us as a guest speaker looking at Matthew 22:35–40 and the connection Jesus makes between loving God and loving our neighbour. He challenges the idea that worship and justice can be separated, showing how genuine devotion to God should naturally overflow into compassion, generosity, and practical love for people who are vulnerable or struggling.

It’s a reminder that following Jesus isn’t just about what happens on Sunday. Our worship should shape how we live on Monday—and when worship and justice meet, people get to see something of Jesus.

This week, guest speaker Chris Luthy looks at Acts 16:6–10 and what it means when the door seems shut. Sometimes the timing isn’t right, and we’re called to pray, wait, and trust that God is doing far more than we can see. But other doors are already open—and the challenge is to notice them, step out in faith, and actually share the good news of Jesus.

It’s a practical reminder that mission isn’t about having everything figured out. We trust that God is in control, look for the people he’s already preparing, and obey when the opportunity comes.

In this message, Andrew walks through John 4 and the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well, showing how Jesus meets her right in the middle of her questions, pain, and longing. He explores Jesus’ promise of “living water” and the deeper truth that the good things in life—family, work, food, success, and relationships—can be gifts from God without being able to carry the weight of our deepest desires.

It’s a reminder that the restlessness we feel isn’t always something to get rid of. Sometimes it points us back to the one we were actually looking for all along. Jesus offers more than another well to draw from—he offers life that becomes a spring within us.

Andrew walks through Genesis 16 and the messy story of Hagar, Abram, and Sarai, showing how the Bible refuses to hide the failures of real people. At the centre is Hagar’s discovery that God sees her—not just the surface, but the pain, confusion, and reality underneath.

It’s an honest look at suffering, trust, and why God’s presence is not a consolation prize, but often the greatest gift he gives us.

Andrew walks through Genesis 26 and the story of Isaac’s wells, showing how faith and fear can sit side by side in the same person. Isaac trusts God in a famine, yet still acts out of fear when pressure hits close to home.

It’s a grounded look at God’s blessing in the middle of opposition, and the way we live with the first fruits of God’s promises while still longing for the fullness to come. This message doesn’t pretend faith makes life easy, but it does remind us that God is still with us in the tension.

Andrew looks at the big question we all hit at some point: how do we know what to do when we don’t know what to do? Drawing from Revelation 6, Acts 16, Ruth, James 1:5, and Proverbs 3:5–6, he talks about fear, uncertainty, and the way God guides us through decisions.

It’s a grounded message about learning to pause, pray, seek wisdom, name what matters most, and then actually take the next step. Not with perfect certainty, but with the deep confidence that God is with us.
