(Ephesians 6:10-17 & John 8:31-32) As we continue exploring the Armor of God, tonight Iain unpacks the important misconception we often have about this armour, as well as what the Belt of Truth means and how we wear it. Join us as we continue to explore how to be prepared and ready to stand firm in the spiritual battle.

(1 Thessalonians 4:13–18) What does Christian hope look like in the middle of grief? As we continue our journey through 1 Thessalonians, Dave explores how heartbreak and hope can coexist, even when loss feels overwhelming. Join us as we consider Paul’s promise of resurrection, the hope of Jesus coming to renew all things, and how we can face grief honestly while learning to carry hope alongside it.

(1 Thessalonians 4:1–12) What does growth look like when it feels slow, ordinary, and unfinished? In this message from our 1 Thessalonians series, we explore Paul’s call to live in a way that pleases God “more and more.” Join us as we consider what it means to grow quietly as we seek to honour God with our whole lives.

In this message, Rupert opens Scripture to explore the reality of spiritual warfare and the hope, protection, and identity found in Christ. Looking at passages including Ephesians 6 and 1 Thessalonians 5, Rupert unpacks the “helmet of salvation” and reminds us that the Christian life is not passive - it is a daily journey of discipleship, perseverance, and learning to stand firm in God’s strength.

(Judges 4:1-24) In the midst of iron chariots and twenty years of cruel oppression, where do we find hope? As we dive into the account of Deborah, Barak, and Jael, we are confronted with a cycle of rebellion and the persistent, merciful rescue of God. Today Naomi explores the tension between our doubts and God’s certain victory. Are we focusing on the enormity of the chaos, or on the God who goes before us? Join us as we look beyond the surface of this history to see how God is still calling us to surrender and reclaim our focus on Him today.

(Numbers 21:4-9) Sometimes the very thing we are most afraid to look at is the very thing we need to face to find healing. In this message, we continue our Desert Pain series by looking at the strange story of the bronze snake on a pole. We explore the human tendency to complain and self-diagnose, the difference between regret and true transformation, and the powerful fulfillment of this story in Jesus Christ. Join us as we learn what it means to glance at our sin but fix our eyes on our Savior.

(Exodus 19, 24 & 32) Relationships are rarely as simple as a romantic comedy; they require work, commitment, and faithfulness through the "ups and downs." In this message, we continue our Desert Pain series by looking at the marriage-like covenant between God and His people. While God rescued Israel from slavery and invited them into a unique relationship, the people struggled with the "wait" and turned back to old ways. Join us as we explore the reality of broken covenants, the pain it causes God, and the ultimate way back through Jesus Christ.

(Matthew 5:43-48) As we come to the end of Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, Si Duke takes the opportunity to unpack a very famous teaching of Jesus' - You have heard it said, love your neighbour but hate your enemy... Today Simon unpacks what this command and call to a different way of living means for us today and challenges us to consider what this kind of love looks like.
