• AN IMPERFECT DECISION - Alistair McNally 05.07.2026 43mnt

  What do you do when you haven't heard God's voice but you have to move anyway? Alistair unpacks the difference between faith as motivation and faith as something birthed in hope, built on the concrete character of God. You don't need a perfect decision. You just need to trust His character before you understand His plan, bring your doubts to Him instead of away from Him, and remember that His silence is not His absence.
• IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO - Chris Mendez 05.07.2026 49mnt

  Twelve spies. One promised land. Two completely different reports. Chris Mendez unpacks the story of Caleb and Joshua and shows us that the problem is never what we are facing. It is how we are interpreting what we are facing. Win the battle of perspective, step into the power of agreement, and cultivate a different spirit. Because when we align ourselves with God, there is no telling what He can do.
• GOOD ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH - Alistair McNally 28.06.2026 32mnt

  Good is not good enough. Alistair unpacks the story of the rich young ruler and asks a question that cuts deeper than most of us want to go.. are we building our lives on goodness, or on God? There's a difference between being a good person and being a godly one. And that difference is everything when it comes to reaching a city that needs Jesus.

• RADICAL GENEROSITY - Phil Dooley 21.06.2026 49mnt

  Ps Phil reminded us that radical generosity is an invitation to participate in a bigger world.

Two messages, one heart: keep talking to God, and be the church for someone else.
• LIVE SENT - Jayden De Zilwa 14.06.2026 37mnt

• ROOF OVER RULES - Alistair McNally 09.06.2026 43mnt

  Are we willing to break through obstacles to bring people to Jesus, or are we letting religious protocol stand in the way? Alistair unpacks the powerful story of the paralyzed man in Mark 2, highlighting the bold faith of the four friends who tore through a ceiling to get their friend to the feet of Christ. He challenges us with three vital mandates for the modern church: carry the burdens of others, create access to Jesus, and always choose people over protocol. It’s time to step out of comfortable Christianity, turn our personal scars into a powerful testimony, and become the true hands and feet of Jesus to our city.
• DON'T SWAP THE BANQUET FOR A BARGAIN BUCKET - Alistair McNally 09.06.2026 39mnt

  Are we feasting on God’s best or settling for spiritual fast food? Alistair unpacks three major traps found in Luke 14: our comfort, our convenience, and our compromises. He challenges us to step out of comfortable Christianity and stop treating Jesus as an optional add-on to our lives. We cannot let momentary distractions destroy our eternal destiny. It's time to stop swapping the banquet for a bargain bucket, deepen our roots, and take the gospel to the streets.
• I STILL LOVE THE CHURCH - Lucinda Dooley 02.06.2026 42mnt

  Have we given up on the church, or do we still see its unstoppable power? Today, we dive into the beautiful, messy, and enduring reality of God’s house. Even in the face of disappointment, Jesus is still building His church, and it's far greater than an institution—it's a family. You cannot fulfill the full purpose of God if you aren't connected to the body. It’s time to let go of past hurts, embrace the tension that creates beautiful music together, and fall in love with the church all over again.
• A RADICAL MOVE OF GOD- Jasmine Johnson 02.06.2026 38mnt

  What do you do when the situation looks completely dead? Jasmine unpacks Ezekiel 37 to show us how God breathes life into our driest valleys through holy conversations, holy confessions, and holy collaboration. She challenges us to move from passive observation to active partnership with the Holy Spirit. Words have power, and our impossible situations are just waiting for a life-giving prophecy. It’s time to start speaking truth and see a radical move of God in our families, workplaces, and cities.

• THE MIRACLE OF PENTECOST - Lee Burns 26.05.2026 40mnt

  Are we just seeking a spiritual experience, or are we actually living on mission? Lee Burns unpacks the true purpose of Pentecost, challenging us to embrace two distinct moves of the Holy Spirit: the miracle of everyday benevolence and the miracle of supernatural power. He reminds us that the Spirit's empowerment isn't meant to stay in the upper room—it is meant to flow out to a hurting world. “If God can get it to us, the Holy Spirit will get it through us.” It’s time to shift from self-preservation to radical generosity, step out in faith, and become the miracle someone else has been praying for.
• THE DAY OF PENTECOST - Mike Baumgartner 26.05.2026 37mnt

  Are we letting the Holy Spirit flow through our lives, or just building pretty, empty riverbanks? Mike unpacks three defining snapshots of Pentecost in Acts 2: the inclusiveness, the authority, and the accessibility of the Spirit. He challenges us to move from passive belief to active surrender. Just because God's power is available doesn't mean it's automatic. It's time to step out in faith, receive His divine empowerment, and let the river run again.

• BECOMING A PEOPLE OF PEACE - Phil Dooley 19.05.2026 50mnt

  Are we living as carriers of true peace, or just trying to manage our anxiety in a chaotic world? In this message, Senior Pastor Phil Dooley unpacks the profound meaning behind Jesus' greeting, Shalom Elohim in John 20, exploring the crucial difference between temporary worldly peace and permanent Godly peace. He challenges us to stop equating worry with caring, and to move from a life of exhausted self-reliance to one of deep trust. Anxiety says it all depends on us, but true peace reminds us that God is the source. It's time to release control, normalize calm, and become a people of peace.
• WHO ARE YOU? - Richard Vanderkolk 13.05.2026 39mnt

  Who are you, really? Richard Vanderkolk unpacks how easily we mislabel ourselves based on our past, our pain, or our performance. He challenges us to ditch the endless pursuit of worldly acceptance and root our identity entirely in who God says we are. "No matter how high we climb this hierarchy, we can never reach who we are in Christ." It's time to tear off the world's old labels and live fully from our unshakable identity as co-heirs with Christ.
• MIRACLES - Sloane Simpson 13.05.2026 36mnt

  Are we sitting on the sidelines while God moves, or are we daring to jump in? Sloane unpacks the healing of the lame man in Acts 3, revealing that miracles are more than just moments, they are signposts. He challenges us to see how every miracle points upward to Jesus, forward to a restored world, and inward to the deep transformation of our hearts. Don't let past disappointment dictate your future opportunity. It's time to leave the skepticism behind, get out of our seats, and expect the miraculous.
