  Always Present | Pastor Chris Padiath 08.10.2026 39m

  Where is God when He feels far away?In Week 3 of our Above All series, Pastor Chris explores the omnipresence of God through the story of Jonah. Jonah tried to run from God's call, found himself in overwhelming distress and later wrestled with anger, yet God's presence never left him.The same is true for us. God's presence is not dependent on perfect circumstances or perfect behaviour. Even in our lowest moments, we are never abandoned. He remains near and at work in our lives.

  Unity in the Church | Pastor Chris Padiath 08.10.2026 38m

  Church can be messy because people are messy. The Corinthians were spiritually gifted, yet division, pride and immaturity were creating real problems within their community.Launching our new Messy Church series through 1 & 2 Corinthians, Pastor Chris teaches from 1 Corinthians 1 and asks what genuine unity looks like when imperfect people follow Jesus together. Paul confronts quarrelling, boasting and worldly living, then continually redirects the church toward Christ.Unity does not require everyone to get their own way. It requires us to take on the mind of Christ, give God the glory and allow discipleship to keep forming us into His likeness.

  Always the Same | Pastor Chris Padiath 28.09.2026 40m

  Everything around us changes. Our circumstances shift, our plans change and even we change over time. But Scripture reveals a God who remains faithfully and uniquely Himself.In the final week of our Above All series, Pastor Chris teaches from Ephesians 1 and explores what it means that God is immutable. Because His character does not change, we can trust His plan, depend on His promises and live in the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead. Even prayer becomes an act of trust, not an attempt to change God, but an invitation to align ourselves with His will.

  All Powerful | Pastor James Kirimi 16.09.2026 41m

  What does it really mean to believe that God is all-powerful?In Week 2 of our Above All sedries, Hebrews 11 reminds us not to make God small in our hearts. Human ability and modern solutions can be genuine gifts from God, but they were never meant to replace our dependence on Him.Pastor James speaks on how God's power is not measured only by whether we receive the outcome we hoped for. Sometimes He changes the situation. At other times, He gives us the strength to remain faithful within it. Either way, our circumstances do not determine His greatness.
• 
  All Knowing | Pastor Chris Padiath 16.09.2026 42m

  We often try to understand God by shrinking Him down to something we can comprehend. But the God of Scripture is infinitely greater than our human understanding.Launching our new Above All series, Pastor Chris teaches from Psalm 139 and explores what it means that God is all knowing. His knowledge is unlimited, yet deeply personal. He knows what we are facing today, what lies ahead and every detail of the life He created us to live. Because we are fully known by God, we can trust Him with what we cannot see or understand ourselves.
• 
  Praise Psalms | Pastor Kim Davis 03.09.2026 33m

  Why do we praise God, even when we do not feel like praising?As we conclude our Psalms series, Pastor Kim teaches from Psalm 145 and reminds us that praise begins with who God is. He is the great King over creation and our lives, but He is also compassionate and rich in love.Even in seasons where worship feels difficult, the Psalms invite us to remember His character and offer Him what praise we can. We join generations of God’s people who have gone before us, continuing the chorus that closes the book of Psalms: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
• 
  Thanksgiving Psalms | Pastor Kim Davis 24.08.2026 41m

  What happens when we intentionally remember what God has done?In Week 8 of our Psalms series, Pastor Kim explores Psalm 136 and the pattern found throughout Thanksgiving Psalms. We remember how God carried us through past difficulties, tell the story of His faithfulness and respond by giving Him thanks.Thanksgiving is more than feeling grateful. As we recognize God’s provision and mercy, gratitude becomes an active response that gives Him the honour He deserves.
• 
  Pilgrimage Psalms | Pastor Andrew Brown 17.08.2026 36m

  What do we do when we find ourselves somewhere between where we started and where we hoped we would be?In this week of our Psalms series, Pastor Andrew explores Psalm 130 and the Pilgrim Psalms, songs originally sung on the journey toward Jerusalem. They remind us that God is present in the middle, when prayers seem unanswered and the destination still feels far away.As we cry honestly, remember who God is and learn to wait with expectation, even the difficult parts of our journey can shape us into the people God is calling us to become.
• 
  Imprecatory Psalms | Pastor Kim Davis 10.08.2026 33m

  What do we do with biblical prayers that ask God to judge our enemies?In Week 6 of our Psalms series, Pastor Kim explores the difficult language of the Imprecatory Psalms. Rather than ignoring these uncomfortable passages, we can learn from the way the Psalmists brought their pain, anger and desire for justice honestly before God while leaving the outcome completely in His hands.As followers of Jesus, we are called to forgive and love our enemies while trusting God to judge righteously. These Psalms remind us that justice and forgiveness can coexist, and that even our hardest emotions can become prayers when we surrender them to God.
• 
  Repentance Psalms | Pastor Michael Okunlola 04.08.2026 42m

  What does genuine repentance look like?In Week 5 of our Psalms series, Pastor Michael teaches from Psalm 51 and David’s response after being confronted with his sin. Repentance is more than regret or asking God to remove the consequences of our choices. It requires honesty, personal responsibility and a willingness to change direction.Through David’s prayer and the story of the prodigal son, we are reminded that God is merciful and ready to restore those who return to Him with a broken and contrite heart.
• 
  Lament Psalms | Pastor Kim Davis 04.08.2026 40m

  How do we speak to God when we are grieving, angry or overwhelmed by pain?In Week 4 of our Psalms series, Pastor Kim teaches from Psalm 13 and explores the spiritual practice of lament. Speaking from within her own season of grief, she shows us how biblical lament allows us to honestly name our pain while inviting God into it.This message also reminds us that suffering should not be carried alone. As the body of Christ, we are called to weep with those who weep, carry one another’s burdens and help each other move from lament toward renewed trust and praise.
• 
  Historical Psalms | Pastor Joshua Mathew 04.08.2026 45m

  What can history teach us about following God today?In Week 3 of our Psalms series, Pastor Joshua walks through Psalm 78 and shows how the Historical Psalms invite every generation to remember God's faithfulness. As we reflect on His work throughout history, we're encouraged to place our confidence in Him, obey His Word and remain faithful to His covenant.
• 
  Wisdom Psalms | Pastor James Kirimi 04.08.2026 38m

  Continuing our summer series, PSALMS: Songs for Every Season, Pastor James explores Psalm 1 and the theme of wisdom. This message reminds us that knowledge alone cannot transform us. Biblical wisdom is the truth that shapes our identity and changes the way we live. By looking at the meaning of blessing, the relationship between knowledge and wisdom, and Christ as the very wisdom of God, we’re invited to become deeply rooted in Jesus and continually transformed into His likeness.

  In Week 3 of our Halos & Horns series, Pastor Chris teaches from Luke 11:14-26 and builds a biblical framework for understanding demons. This message looks at the reality of Satan and demonic forces, while reminding us that God has no rivals or equals.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to stop living in fear, stay alert, guard our spiritual lives and walk in the authority given to us by Christ.

  Engaging With Angels | Pastor Joshua Mathew 16.06.2026 43m

  In Week 2 of our Halos & Horns series, Pastor Joshua Mathew teaches from Colossians 2:16–19 and Colossians 3:1–4, warning against angel-centered spirituality and reminding us that Christ is enough. Angels are real, but Scripture never calls believers to pray to them, pursue them, or build devotion around them.This message helps us recognize the role of angels, resist unhealthy fascination with supernatural experiences, and refocus our hearts on Jesus. As followers of Christ, our attention, affection, devotion and submission belong to Him alone.Series: Halos & Horns | Date: June 14th 2026
