Today is Vision Sunday 2026 for the whole of Family Church. Ps Steu speaks about the Mission and Vision of the church and introduces the six Family Church Values which will be expounded during the following weeks...We Value PeopleWe Value New lifeWe Value Relationship with GodWe Value Church FamilyWe Value GatheringWe Value CommissioningEach of these is represented by a part of the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15) - a central Christian teaching on God's unconditional love and forgiveness. All Family Church congregations heard this message and everyone received a booklet entitled Reach, Grow, Empower, explaining these values. Please refer to www.family.church for further details.

In the final part of our The Story of My Life series, we take time to reflect on the final chapter of life, recognizing that while our story may end on earth, it continues in eternity. Through this message, our hope is that you will journey from fear, ignorance and presumption to a place of hope, knowledge, and certainty as we consider the question: 'What happens when I die?'

In the sixth part of our The Story of My Life series, Nimi reflects on how joy isn't something we force, but rather something that grows as we walk through life with Jesus.

In the fifth part of our series, The Story of My Life, Leroy shares on the topic of doubt. Listen and learn how doubt, when managed correctly, can actually lead to a stronger faith in the God who carries us through every season of our lives.

Continuing our series, The Story of My Life, we take time to reflect on the reality that pain is an unavoidable part of life. In this message of hope, Steve explores how the presence of pain does not mean the absence of God and asks an important question: when pain arrives, where will you turn?

In the third part of our series, The Story of My Life, Steve explores how we can build healthy relationships with the people who become part of our story. We learn how receiving God's unconditional love can heal the hurts of our past and set us up for a better future, one where love is a choice we intentionally make.

Continuing in our series, The Story of My Life, Taffie speaks about moments of hope in our lives. Listen in as she helps us understand that hope is not merely positive thinking or optimism, but a confident expectation rooted in the character and promises of God.

Listen in as we launch a brand-new series, The Story of My Life. In this message, we explore our beginnings and how truly understanding who is authoring our story can transform the way we see our identity and purpose.

Listen in as we take time to 'Pause for Thought' and reflect on all that God has been speaking and doing through this year's teaching.

As we wrap up our Jonah series, we turn our attention to chapters 3 and 4 of this ancient text. At first glance, these chapters may seem unusual, but they reveal valuable insights. By looking closely at where Jonah went wrong, we discover just how much we can learn for ourselves.

Jonah 3:1 is such an encouraging verse: 'The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time.' It's a powerful reminder that God doesn't give up on us. He redirects, He restores, and He invites us to rise and try again. Give this message a listen, and be inspired to Go Again!”

As we continue our journey through the book of Jonah, we're reminded that prayer and repentance open the door to restoration. God didn't give up on Jonah, and He'll never give up on you!

We're starting a brand-new series on the Old Testament book of Jonah. Listen in as we start exploring the lessons we can learn from this reluctant prophet. In the first part of this series, we examine the consequences of disobedience and ask ourselves the hard-hitting question: 'In what area of my life am i running from the word of God?'

On Mission Sunday, we heard from three people who went on mission trips in 2025. Listen in as they share their highlights, how the experience stretched them, and why they would encourage everyone to get involved in mission.

As we wrap up our series Life Is a Garden, Mark shares about the financial aspect of our lives and how the principle of sowing and reaping applies there, too.

As we continue our series, Life Is a Garden, we turn our attention to two key seeds we are constantly sowing into our lives: our thoughts and our words. Could it be that by changing the way we think and speak, we might uproot some weeds and cultivate a more fruitful, abundant life?

As we begin our new three-part series, Life Is a Garden, we ask important questions about what it takes to cultivate a fruitful and abundant life. In doing so, we discover that it requires intentionality, consistency, and time.

One of the aspects of the Christian life that the early church devoted themselves to was prayer. Listen in as Taffie explains how this remains so vital for us today in 2025!

The early church didn't fear or resist change; they embraced it! As a result, God used moments of change and transition to continue to multiply them. In this message, Steve talks about change in Family Church, and how in our individual lives God will often use the vehicle of change to get us from where we are to where He wants us to be!

As we continue in our 'A growing Church' message series, Steve shares why you need people, and why people need you!

Join us for a brand new teaching series, as we continue in our 'Magnify and Multiply' theme. This new series is all about 'A growing Church'. We take a deep dive into Acts 2:42-47, and begin the series by looking at what it actually means to be 'devoted to Apostolic teaching.'

Ps Andy provides an introduction to a new series of messages entitled 'A Growing Church', explaining how this fits within our overall theme of magnify & multiply for this year.

In this message, Steve shares from the account of the widow in 1 Kings 17, and encourages us not to let the miraculous become mundane!

In this message, Leroy takes us through the story of the miraculous catch found in Luke 5, sharing how obedience opens the door to the miraculous and how encountering Jesus in the miraculous will always lead to a humble discovery of your purpose!

As we continue our series looking at multiplication by miracles, Nimi speaks from 2 Kings 4 and shares what we can learn from the widow's miracle. God is interested in the situations we go through, and therefore, we shouldn't allow any situation to swallow our voice; rather, we should cry out to Him. And when He gives us an instruction about our situation, our duty is to prepare in faith for what He will do and obey even when it doesn't make sense.

As we begin a brand new teaching series, Steve looks at the extraordinary account of thousands being fed by five loaves and two fish, and reminds us that we serve a supernatural God who can take what we offer to Him and multiply it abundantly!

Join us for a 'Global Sunday' Q&A!

Listen in as Steve interviews Gerard and Brenda about their life story, how they found faith, and the difference it has made in their lives.

As we conclude our series, 'Growing God's Family', we look at what it means for us to be ambassadors, salt & light, and how reaching people with the message begins with us living out the message.

As we continue in our series, 'Growing God's Family', we look at how reaching the world begins with reaching our world, starting with our family.

Using her personal testimony, Taffie looks at the tension between being obedient to what God is asking, whilst also waiting for what He has spoken over your life. In the waiting, though it may not always make sense, it's time to be obedient, learning to trust, seek, and be in awe of God while remaining faithful in serving God's family.

As we begin a brand new series looking at multiplication in the context of seeing people saved, Steve shares on the importance of one, and how God wants a big family!

One week on from Ressurection Sunday, we ask the question: 'what now'? In doing so, we learn that we have a message to share with others about the power of the cross! That the cross of Jesus reveals the heart of God, breaks the power of darkness, draws all people, and produces multiplication.

As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, we take a look at the powerful and life-changing truth that we've been rescued from the darkness of the tomb and brought into the light of God's kingdom!

As we move onto the second part of our 2025 theme 'Magnify & Multiply', Steve introduces the concept of multiplication and looks at how faith, patience, and obedience are all keys to us experiencing God's multiplication in our lives!

How does Church become 'Home'? In this message, we look at how growing our understanding of Revelation, Responsibility & Relationship could make all the difference!

As we conclude our teaching series on 'The Word', Nimi shares on submission and obedience to, and declaration of, God's word!

Nimi moves on in our series to start talking about the application of the Word of God and how knowing the Word and applying the authority of the Word can position us for victory and freedom!

In Part 3 of our series on the Word of God, we look at why the condition of our heart is so important when reading the Bible and what Jesus has to say about being 'good soil'.

As we continue in our series on the Word of God, Daphine answers the question 'What is truth?', and in doing so shows us how the real truth will set us free!

As we conclude our 3-part series on worship, we hear from a few people on how worship is far more than a song!

As we continue in our 3-part series on worship, Taffie shares on the important question - Who do we Worship?

We're kicking off our focus on 'Magnify' and 'Multiply' by preaching a 3-part series on Worship. We begin this series by exploring the fundamental question - What is Worship? Listen in, as we are reminded that we are all worshippers and that true worship isn't about our activity!

Having shared the Family Church vision for 2025 last Sunday, we take time to unpack what it means for us in the Havant congregation, and how YOU can get involved!

Ps Andy delivers a keynote message today regarding vision for the whole of Family Church during 2025. He explains how important it is for us to have a vision (Proverbs 29:18, Where there is no vision, the people perish) and thanks all those who have contributed in any way to the outworking of the church vision the previous year. Ps Andy then concentrates his message around two words the Lord gave him, namely Magnify and Multiply. With reference to a myriad of scriptures he explains the vision for all of the Family Church congregations tying this in with God's Word.
