Pastor Sats Solanki is talking all about how faith gets ready for the future God has promised. Perhaps what God is doing in this season is less about what's happening around us and more about what's happening inside of us. Because new wine requires new wine skins.

Ps Sats is speaking on FAITH. One might (wrongly) assume that the life of a Christian should be relatively problem free. But reading through scripture tells us another story. The good news is that whatever comes our way, that there is a spirit that is greater that lives within. This year has been full of problems but faith is our key to rising above it all.

Today Pastor Sats is talking about LOVE. There is a difference between being loved and receiving love. Everything we do flows from our ability to first receive. When we try to make a difference or bring about change in our world without having truly received, we find our own brokenness can get in the way. Before we can love God (worship) and love others (serve), we must receive his love.

Are we addicted to an unsustainable pace? Jesus describes a different way of life to what many of us seem to experience in John 15 as he talks about abiding. What if we had the ability to slow down, be fully present and yet live a deeply meaningful and fruitful life. What if being a Christian wasn't supposed to be so fast and furious? After all, Jesus is the perfect embodiment of human character and strength as well as profound gifting.

Ps Joel Burden encourages us to forgive, when society is often talking about grudges.

The way that we think matters to God because it defines how we interpret the world around us. From the pain of our past to the expectation of our future - the renewing of our mind is key part of the journey in following Jesus.

Do you know that God isn’t as far from you as life may make it seem?

Pastor Dave sits down with Premier League legend Shola Ameobi to discuss racism within society and the Church and how we can all play a part in being the solution in this day and age.

Let’s not become enamoured with what’s keeping us from moving boldly into all God has for us. Fear. Resignation. Settling for smallness. Retraction.

Tune in to this week’s podcast with Ps Jenny Gilpin as she … Continue reading "Stockholm Syndrome – Jenny Gilpin"

We often draw the limits of our future expectation according to our weakness instead of His greatness. But God wants to open up the possibilities of his incomparable power to work in and through us.

The greatest emergency of our time is a multitude of souls heading towards an eternity without Christ. When we catch the heart of God for humanity, it’s impossible not to want to share his goodness.

Being a follower of Christ is not just about what you have but what you do with what you have. God is calling us to be faithful and fruitful people who add value to the world we live in.

The church is God’s plan to heal division and unite humanity. Jesus didn’t start his new covenant with mankind in a throne room or corridor of power but around a table.

God wants to lift you and your life but it requires you to humble yourself by putting him first.

Doing the right things with the wrong fuel can leave us feeling tired and worn out. The word of God is food that translates into energy to burn and power to do all that we are called to do.

There is a great mission to focus on and vision to live out but the enemy wants to distract us with stuff that takes our attention.

Things of value will never cost nothing to take hold of. Living out the purpose of God requires us to step out from where is convenient but it's worth it.

God's miraculous increase and provision requires us to deal with the issues of our heart. He wants to work with us to bring about the future.
