Join Pastor Jason Heron as he dives into John 13, where Jesus humbles Himself to wash His disciples' feet. In this episode, we explore the profound meaning behind this act of service and love. Jesus shows us that true greatness lies in humility, that leadership is expressed through servanthood, and that we, too, are called to “wash each other's feet” in our everyday lives.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Lynda addresses the painful emotions of feeling excluded, ignored, or not invited. Drawing from John 18:15-18, where Peter stood outside during Jesus’ trial, she connects this moment to the personal experience of being left out of a group or activity, and the emotional toll it takes—feeling depressed, angry, or upset.

Pastor Lynda reminds us that while the world reacts to exclusion in certain ways, as believers, we are called to respond as Jesus would. The key is to fix our eyes on Jesus and allow His peace to fill our hearts. By worshiping Him, declaring the Word of God over our lives, and remembering that we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), we can rise above the hurt.

She also encourages listeners to meditate on Romans 12:2, which calls us to be transformed by renewing our minds. Through this, we can take feelings of exclusion and turn them around for God’s glory, choosing to respond in faith rather than bitterness.

Join Pastor Lynda for an encouraging message on how to handle rejection in a Christ-centered way, finding peace and purpose even when left out.

No matter how deep the darkness, Jesus has the power to bring light and life, just as He did for Lazarus—and will do again at His return.

In this insightful sermon, Pastor Michael Olivier explores the theme "Growing in All Circumstances," encouraging listeners not to let life's difficulties derail their faith but to grow through them by seeking God and His purpose in every situation.

The Giant of Circumstances:

Pastor Michael discusses how daily circumstances, whether big or small, can stir emotions like frustration, anger, and fear. Drawing from James 1:2-4, he challenges us to decide whether these challenges will dictate our faith or help us grow through them.

Remind Yourself That God is With You: Referencing Hebrews 13:5 and Romans 8:31-32, Pastor Michael emphasises that no matter the situation, God is always by our side, guiding and strengthening us.

Keep Your Eyes on God as Your Source: He encourages us to look to God as our provider, citing Deuteronomy 2:7 and Philippians 4:19, reminding us that God will supply all our needs in any circumstance.

Submit Yourself to God's Ways: Drawing from Romans 8:28-29 and Psalm 19:14, Pastor Michael calls for trust in God's higher plan, urging us to submit to His will and grow in character through life's trials.

Join Pastor Michael Olivier as he teaches how to remain steadfast in faith and grow through all circumstances by leaning on God's presence, provision, and purpose.

In this sermon, Pastor Jason dives deep into the powerful story of David and Goliath, found in 1 Samuel 17. We often see Goliath as the obvious enemy, but Pastor Jason challenges us to consider a different giant—the giant of fear. He explains how fear, like the one that gripped the hearts of the Israelites, can grow so big that it prevents us from fulfilling God’s purpose in our lives.

Drawing from David’s example, Pastor Jason reminds us that fear isn’t always a bad thing. Fear can be a natural response that helps us process danger and stay alert. However, when fear overwhelms us to the point where we stop moving forward or enjoying life, it becomes unhealthy. The real enemy isn’t external circumstances but the internal battle we face against our own fear.

David’s victory wasn’t just over Goliath but over the fear that crippled everyone else. Pastor Jason encourages listeners to adopt David’s mindset of faith, trusting fully in God, and recognising that God is far bigger than any challenge we face. The key to slaying the giant of fear is to strengthen our faith, which comes by hearing and meditating on God’s Word.

Join us as we learn how to conquer fear and step boldly into the purpose God has for our lives!

Pray:

In this insightful sermon, Worship Director Donna Akodu delves into the power of persistent prayer, drawing from Matthew 7:7-8 and Luke 18:1-8. She emphasises that effective prayer is marked by persistence, highlighting that we should keep asking, seeking, and knocking as Jesus taught.

Key Highlights:

Effective Prayer is Persistent Prayer: Donna references theologian Clement of Alexandria, who stressed the importance of unceasing pursuit in prayer. Persistence in prayer not only leads to finding but also to marvelling, reigning, and ultimately resting in God's will.

Persistence Leads to Faith: Through the parable of the persistent widow, Donna illustrates how small prayers are often answered quickly, while larger requests may take time. The widow's unwavering persistence, despite being powerless in her society, led to her faith growing and eventually to the judge taking action on her behalf.

Persistence Leads to Purpose: Persistence isn't just about the immediate answer; it's about staying true to the purpose behind the prayer. Like the widow who sought justice, we must continue to pursue our God-given purpose, even in the face of opposition, as encouraged in Galatians 6:9.

Persistence Through Process: Donna reminds us that the journey of persistence in prayer shapes us and prepares us for the outcome. It's not just about getting what we ask for but about the transformation that occurs as we persist through the process.

Join Donna Akodu in this powerful sermon as she encourages us to remain steadfast in prayer, trusting that persistence will lead to faith, purpose, and divine outcomes.

In this enlightening sermon, Pastor Michael Olivier delves into the theme "The Power of The Promise," emphasising the crucial role of God's promises in our lives, as described in Hebrews 6.

Key Highlights:

Anchor for Our Souls: God's promises and the hope they bring are likened to a trustworthy anchor for our souls, providing stability and preventing us from drifting away during life's storms.

Gift of Grace: These promises are a generous provision of God's grace, not something we earn or deserve. They are gifts that reinforce our faith and dependence on God.

Reality Check: Recognising our need for God's help is essential; believing we don't need it is delusional. God's promises remind us of our reliance on Him.

Knowing God's Will: God's promises also guide us in understanding His will. 1 John 5:14 assures us that He hears our prayers when we ask according to His will.

Childlike Faith: The appropriate response to God's promises is with childlike faith, trusting wholeheartedly in His word and provision.

Join Pastor Michael Olivier in this sermon as he explores the profound impact of God's promises on our spiritual journey, teaching us to embrace them with faith and gratitude.

In this insightful sermon, Pastor Jason Heron draws lessons from 1 Samuel 14:6-7, focusing on the themes of faith, trust, and unity in the face of adversity. The story of Jonathan and his armour-bearer highlights the importance of relying on God and supporting one another in pursuit of a common goal.

Key Highlights:

Jonathan Had Faith in God: Despite being outnumbered, Jonathan believed that if God was involved, victory was assured. Faith is described as the "currency" in this spiritual journey, underscoring the importance of trusting God completely.

Armour-Bearer Trusted Jonathan: The armour-bearer exemplifies trust by supporting Jonathan's bold actions. This relationship shows the power of acting on God's character and the dangers of inaction due to fear.

Jonathan Had Faith in His Armour-Bearer: Jonathan's reliance on his armour-bearer highlights the necessity of teamwork and mutual trust. It underscores that success often requires collaboration and support from others.

Encouragement and Support: The armour-bearer's role included encouraging Jonathan, showing the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive people who uplift and motivate.

Willingness to Serve: The armour-bearer's readiness to serve Jonathan's vision, even without seeking recognition, teaches a lesson in humility and dedication.

Dependability: The importance of being reliable and following through on commitments is emphasised, as the armour-bearer consistently supported Jonathan.

Protection and Loyalty: The armour-bearer's loyalty and protection of Jonathan highlight the value of having trustworthy allies who safeguard us from unexpected challenges.
