In this powerful sermon, Tina Wallis dives into one of her favourite Bible passages, 2 Chronicles 20, where King Jehoshaphat faces an overwhelming enemy army. Tina shares how Jehoshaphat was instructed by God not to fear, for the battle was not his but God's. He was told to position himself, not with weapons, but in praise and worship, trusting that God would fight for him. Through this story, Tina reminds us that sometimes, the most courageous act we can take is to step back and let God lead the battle. She emphasises the importance of obedience, faith, and positioning ourselves in worship, even when the odds seem insurmountable. As Jehoshaphat and his army marched forward with the worshippers leading the way, God set ambushes against their enemies, bringing them to total defeat without a single sword drawn.

This message is a profound reminder that, no matter the battle we face, God is already at work, fighting for us.
In this week's sermon, Pastor Shane delves into the profound impact each of us has on the world around us, often without even realising it. Using the story of Sarah, an Olympic BMX gold medalist, he explores how our everyday actions and attitudes influence others, whether we're aware of it or not. Just as Sarah motivated her fellow elite athletes by simply staying focused in her lane, we too are constantly shaping the atmosphere around us—at home, at work, and in our communities. This message reminds us that while we can't choose whether we influence others, we can decide the kind of influence we will be. Are we the ones who bring energy, encouragement, and a can-do attitude, or do we sap the energy from those around us? With a God-given vision and purpose, we're called to be agents of change, destined for greatness. Join us as we reflect on the importance of vision in our lives and how it drives us through the small, often unnoticed moments, leading to true success and fulfillment. Whether you're feeling lost or unsure of your purpose, this message will challenge and encourage you to step into the greatness God has destined for you.

In this week's sermon, titled "Beaten, not Defeated," Pastor Shane explored the story of Paul and Silas from Acts 16, who were imprisoned and severely beaten, yet remained resilient through their unwavering faith. Despite their dire circumstances, they prayed and sang hymns, resulting in an earthquake that freed all prisoners and led to the jailer's conversion. This message emphasises three key points: life's inevitable hardships, the power of choosing our attitude, and the significant impact our perseverance can have on others. By keeping a positive perspective and staying true to a higher purpose, even in the toughest times, we can bring freedom and hope to those around us. This sermon calls us to maintain a sweet spirit in adversity, trust in God's ultimate plan, and remember that our struggles can lead to greater victories not just for ourselves, but for our entire community.
