  The Waiting Room - week 2 | Waiting for Peace 09.11.2026 26m

  In the midst of life’s storms, uncertainty and anxiety can easily rob us of our peace, leaving us wondering where God is and whether he really cares. Through Mark’s account of Jesus calming the storm, we discover that even when we cannot see what lies ahead, we can trust the One who does. Jesus’ presence doesn’t mean we’ll never face difficult circumstances, but it does mean we never face them alone. Sometimes he calms the storm around us; sometimes he brings peace within us as we journey through it. Ultimately, the greatest answer to our waiting isn’t always a change in our circumstances, but discovering who Jesus is and trusting the One who has the final word. Speaker: Stuart Blount

  The Waiting Room - week 1 | Waiting for Change 03.11.2026 33m

  When we wait for circumstances or other people to change, we can become stuck, allowing our struggles to define us. Real change often means letting go of what feels familiar and taking responsibility for the next step. We may not be able to control our circumstances or change the past, but we can choose how we respond today. Speaker: Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

  What if you're here for a reason? 26.10.2026 27m

  While we can’t always choose our circumstances, we can choose how we respond. Even when we feel overwhelmed, exhausted or unsure of what lies ahead, we can trust God for the strength to take the next step. We don’t need to solve every problem or have the whole journey mapped out; we simply need to keep doing the next right thing. So, what if you’re where you are for a reason? Who needs you to show up, where do you need courage, and what step could you take this week to make a difference? Speaker: Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock.

  People are more open to Jesus than you think 20.10.2026 32m

  Church should never be an exclusive club, but a place where people can encounter Jesus. Christmas provides a unique opportunity to invite friends and family to discover the hope, meaning and life that Jesus offers. Through Lifecentral’s Christmas events, we want to build trust, encourage people to explore faith and create opportunities for them to encounter Jesus in a way that could change their lives. Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock

  Keep The Change | Above & Beyond 12.10.2026 30m

  For Above and Beyond Sunday, we explore how generosity helps us “keep the change” God brings into our lives. Generosity isn’t simply about what we feel but what we choose to do, even when it costs us. As we give, we can see our lives and the lives of others changed, turning what we have into something with lasting, eternal impact. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
• 
  If God is real - what would you do? 05.10.2026 22m

  What if God is real? How might that possibility change the way we live? Through the story of Peter, we see that we don’t have to begin with certainty—we can begin with curiosity. When Peter encountered Jesus, his view of God, himself and his future changed, leading him to trust Jesus and follow him. Baptism is a declaration that we’ve encountered Jesus, believe he is real, and are choosing to follow him—not because we have all the answers, but because we’re ready to take the next step into a new way of living. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

  What Fills Our Soul? | Ben Synder - Cedar Creek Church, OH 28.09.2026 35m

  What Fills Our Soul? Sometimes when our faith feels dry, we think we need to know more—but Jesus reminds us that we’re nourished not just by information, but by participation. As we step out of being consumers and become contributors, joining God in making an eternal difference, something comes alive in us too. We don’t have to have all the answers or do it all; we simply need to be faithful with the people God puts in front of us. Because when we move from “What can I get?” to “Where can I give?”, we discover a life that overflows with purpose and joy. Speaker - Ben Snyder - Lead Pastor, Cedar Creek Church, Toledo OH.

  Ghosting God - week 3 | How do I follow a God who loves the people I don't 21.09.2026 30m

  What happens when God’s grace is given to people we don’t think deserve it? In week three of Ghosting God, Leon Evans explores Jonah’s struggle with God’s compassion towards Nineveh — a people Jonah believed deserved justice, not mercy. Jonah was happy to receive a second chance from God, but angry when that same grace was extended to others. His story challenges us to consider who our “Nineveh” might be, where we’re running from the things God wants to reveal in us, and whether we can know God’s will without sharing God’s heart. The question isn’t whether Jonah changed — the story leaves that unanswered. The question is whether we will change: will we receive God’s grace and extend that same grace to others, even those we struggle to love? Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

  Ghosting God - week 2 | When rock bottom isn't the end 14.09.2026 30m

  Sometimes God doesn’t rescue us immediately because He’s doing something deeper in us. Rock bottom may not be where God’s story ends; it may be where we discover a fresh purpose and a new fragrance for our lives. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
• 
  Ghosting God - week 1 | What are you running from? 07.09.2026 30m

  In week one of Ghosting God, we explore the story of Jonah and what happens when we run from God instead of responding to him. Jonah’s story reminds us that ignoring God can take us further from where he wants us to be, but even when we run, God never stops moving towards us. Whatever storm we’re facing, the invitation is simple: stop running, turn towards God, and trust him with the next step. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

  The Songs We Sing - week 6 | God I'm Just Grateful 01.09.2026 34m

  The vastness of creation reminds us that although we are incredibly small, we are far from insignificant because the God who created the universe keeps us on His mind, knows us, sees us and cares deeply for us. Whether we are in seasons of joy or struggle, worship reminds us of what remains true: God is bigger than we can comprehend, and He has given us everything through Jesus. Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock

  The Songs We Sing - week 5 | Caught in a Storm 25.08.2026 36m

  Life doesn’t always go to plan, and sometimes the unexpected storms we face can shake everything we thought was secure. However faith isn’t about controlling the outcome or pretending we have no questions; it’s about trusting the person of Jesus, knowing that He can calm the storm around us, or sometimes bring peace within us even when circumstances remain unchanged. Ultimately, the invitation is to build our lives on Christ as our firm foundation, because when everything else is shaken, He remains constant. Speaker - Jayne Sargeant
• 
  The Songs We Sing - week 4 | The Ultimate Name Drop 17.08.2026 35m

  Why do Christians sing so much about the name of Jesus? In the Bible, a name represents identity, character and authority—not just a label. While people often "name drop" to borrow influence, Jesus' name stands above every other because it reveals who He is and what He came to do. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
• 
  The Songs We Sing - week 3 | Is God Good? 10.08.2026 27m

  Our confidence in God's goodness is not based on an easy life but on His unchanging character. God's goodness is revealed through His patient mercy towards humanity, His unseen protection over our lives, and His faithful presence. Even in suffering and uncertainty, God remains good—not because life is always good, but because He is. Speaker - Stuart Blount
• 
  The Songs We Sing - week 2 | Death to Life 03.08.2026 1h 19m

  Laura unpacks why Christians sing lyrics about graves, dry bones, resurrection and death, explaining that these songs are rooted in the central story of the Bible rather than strange religious imagery. They are reminders that Jesus continues to restore relationships, renew hope, heal brokenness and breathe life into every place we invite Him, calling us to live as people who carry His life and love into the world. Speaker - Laura Hancock
• 
  The Songs We Sing - week 1 | Why Do We Sing? 28.07.2026 30m

  We often sing words without fully understanding them, however we're invited to discover the rich truths behind the songs we sing; allowing biblical truths and theology to shape our faith through songs of praise, declaration and testimony. Worship transforms us, reminding us of our identity and renewing our hope even in difficult circumstances, just as songs sustained believers throughout history. Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock
• 
  Where do you belong? 23.07.2026 14m

  Our true identity isn't found in our achievements, labels or the opinions of others, but in belonging to Jesus, who calls us by name. From that identity flows a God-given purpose—to know God and make Him known—rather than simply existing or chasing success. Following Jesus gives us an eternal hope that reaches beyond our failures, fears and even death itself. We are made for more. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
• 
  Then God - week 5 | When life feels unbearable 06.07.2026 32m

  Whatever situations we may find ourselves in today, and how unbearable it might feel, God knows exactly where we are and still comes close, speaking hope, restoring perspective, and inviting us to listen for His voice that changes everything. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
• 
  Then God - week 4 | Waiting is Never Easy 29.06.2026 29m

  While we often focus on the breakthrough, we rarely talk about the waiting in between—the silence of Saturday before the joy of Sunday. In those seasons of uncertainty, grief, and unanswered questions, we are called to be honest with God, keep showing up, trust Him when we don't understand, remain patient as He works in the margins, and listen carefully for His voice. Speaker - Executive Pastor, Andy Hancock

  Then God - week 3 | The loudest voice wins 22.06.2026 24m

  The loudest voice in our lives ultimately shapes the direction of our lives—not necessarily the loudest in volume, but the loudest in influence. We are challenged to recognise the voices shaping our thinking, adjust the volume by giving God’s voice the microphone, and use our own words to bring encouragement, hope, and freedom to others. Ultimately, God’s promise, “I will be with you,” becomes the loudest voice of all—a reminder that even when others have abandoned, rejected, or hurt us, God never leaves, and His presence is enough to overcome every fear. Speaker - Lead Pastor, Leon Evans
