Ps Simon Austin. In a world driven by hurry, hustle, and exhaustion, what does it mean to truly rest? Let's unpack the biblical practice of Sabbath — not as a legalistic rule, but as a life-giving rhythm rooted in creation and fulfilled in Christ.

Brian Schick. Brian encourages around the Practice of Generosity. Our God is a generous God, and we should be like Him.

Ps Simon Austin. We continue our teaching focus on the Holy Spirit. We walk through Acts 1:8 and are reminded of the WHAT, WHY and WHERE of the Holy Spirit. We're reminded that Pentecost wasn't just about commotion; it was about a commission. The Spirit fills us not just for ourselves, but for the sake of others.

Ps Simon Austin. During this Pentecost season we paused to reflect on the person, purpose and power of the Holy Spirit. What does it means to welcome the Spirit as our helper, comforter, and breath of life? What does it mean to hunger for more of Him?

Ps Simon Austin. This week we wrapped up our teaching focus on Biblical Hospitality by exploring how the table is a key cog in our faith and community. Jesus is the source — but it's around the table that His love begins to move through us. From Acts 2 to the Emmaus meal, we see that eating together is where community comes alive.

Ps Simon Austin. Our words carry power — to heal or to harm, to build up or to break down. We explore how conversations around the table can either reflect the grace of Jesus or quietly become an enemy of connection.

Ps Simon Austin. This week we explore how exclusion — whether intentional or unintentional — can quietly creep into our relationships, our churches, and even our homes. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we see Jesus redefine what it means to be a neighbour and challenge the boundaries we often build. We ask a simple but confronting question: Who isn't invited to my table?

Ps Simon Austin. This week we explore one of the greatest threats to hospitality and community: offense. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and the words of Jesus, we uncover how offence acts like a trap that can poison relationships, divide families, and block God's grace in our lives. We also chat through some practical strategies to guard against offences when they come.

Ps Simon Austin. On Good Friday, we remember the ultimate act of hospitality—Jesus giving His body and blood so we could have a seat at His table. In this message, we explore the meaning of the Last Supper, the cost of grace, and the invitation still extended to us today.

Ps Simon Austin. This week we look at a surprising dinner Jesus attended in Luke 14—and what it reveals about God's radical hospitality. From religious critique to Kingdom invitation, Jesus flips expectations and shows us that anyone can sit at His table. Whether it's a feast or a few slices of free pizza, our tables can become places where grace is shared and lives are changed.

Ps Simon Austin. We continue our series on Biblical hospitality. Jesus often used meals to show grace, build community, and welcome outsiders. This week we explore how your table can become a place of mission, just like His.

Ps John McDonald. Today special guest Ps John McDonald starts a new series for us on Biblical hospitality. Hospitality is a massive industry! For the Christian, it is much more than that. All of us eat meals all the time, but do we consider the powerful significance of this practice? We start our series by looking at what hospitality looks in the Bible.

Ben Evans. Today we dive into Isaiah's extraordinary vision of God's holiness and his heartfelt response: "Here am I, send me." We explore what it means to embrace God's call — not because we're perfect, but because His grace makes us worthy.

Ps Simon Austin. In this episode, we dive into the heart of discipleship — not as a solo mission, but as a shared journey. Drawing from Acts 8, we explore the powerful story of Philip and the Ethiopian treasurer, uncovering how discipleship starts with Spirit-led people, grows through shared lives, and always points us to Jesus. Who is in your carriage?

Ps Maria Austin. Today we continue to explore how God wants to give us a fresh identity and a God-given destiny.
