Whether you're curious, confused, or excited about biblical prophecy, this conversation will help you understand the issues and model how to talk about them in a Christlike way.

What if serving in church wasn't about guilt, duty, or being endlessly busy – but about love, worship, and living the way you were designed by God?

Strap your seatbelts in — it's about to get interesting.Today, we're diving deep into Revelation 13, one of the most striking and symbolically rich chapters in Scripture.Who — or what — is the Antichrist?In Revelation 13, we see a terrifying vision: a beast rising from the sea, empowered by the dragon, deceiving nations, and demanding worship.

This week we kick off our new 'DNA' series - looking at who we are and how we live. Today we are invited to be a people who praise extravagantly and worship intimately. What is praise and worship? Why do they matter? How do they shape our everyday lives? Dan unpacks the difference between praising God for what He's done and worshipping Him for who He is, calling us to be truly present with God instead of lost in “useless imaginings.” Expect practical helps, Bible anchors, and a heartfelt invitation to surrender.

In this powerful teaching, Dom explores one of the most sobering and significant topics in Scripture: The Tribulation. From Daniel's 70 weeks to Jesus' words in Matthew 24, this message uncovers how prophecy, pressure, and purpose come together in God's plan for the end of the age.You'll discover: • Why the church has moved away from preaching on the end times — and why we need to return to it. • What Jesus meant by “birth pains” and how our world today mirrors those warnings. • The meaning of the Greek word θλῖψις (thlipsis) — tribulation, crushing, pressure — and what it reveals about faith under fire. • How Daniel's prophecy of 70 “sevens” sets the stage for the Great Tribulation. • The two halves of the final 7 years: the mercy of God's witnesses and the justice of His judgment. • And ultimately, how Jesus endured His own tribulation so we could have hope in ours. This isn't a message of fear — it's a message of faith.When the world feels unstable, remember: it's not falling apart… it's falling into place.

Step into the finale of our Inspired series as we trace the Bible's sweeping story—from creation to the coming Banquet—and learn how to live not just by reading the Word but by doing it. From Psalm 119 to Revelation 19, we'll discover how Scripture and the Holy Spirit guide our everyday steps, build resilient lives, and lift our eyes to eternity. Get ready for hope, challenge, and a fresh appetite for God's Word.

This week we were blessed to welcome Dr. Marcia Ogunji, National Children's Director for our movement (ACUK), as our guest speaker.In her powerful message, “Come Up Here,” Dr. Marcia invites us to draw nearer to God — to press into His presence and the throne room where we are equipped to:

When most people think of the book of Revelation, they either avoid it because it feels too confusing… or they obsess over it, trying to decode every headline and every number. But the truth is, Revelation wasn't written to scare us or confuse us—it was written to bless us (Revelation 1:3). In this message, Dom explores: - What apocalyptic literature really means (hint: it's not zombies and destruction). - Why Revelation is first and foremost a revelation of Jesus Christ. - How to approach the symbols and visions without getting lost in speculation. - Why the message of Revelation is ultimately one of hope and victory—because the Lamb wins. - Why the book of Revelation makes Dom more emotional than any other book in the Bible. This sermon kicks off a 7-day challenge to read Revelation aloud—not to solve every puzzle, but to encounter Jesus more clearly and to receive the blessing He promises.

If this is the end, what should I expect? Wars. Famines. Earthquakes. Rumours of wars.Jesus said these things would mark the “beginning of birth pains” before His return (Matthew 24:6–8).In this message, Dom looks at:⚔️ How wars have escalated from swords to nuclear weapons.

In this message, Dom addresses the sadness and heaviness from the last week with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and how Satan cannot stop the church and its message from advancing.  'The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church' - Tertullian.  Hope is alive — because Jesus has already won the victory!

Looking at two important moments in the life of Jacob, we see his journey from deceit to honesty, from letting his identity hold him back to allowing God to giving him a new identity. Through the grace of God, we, like Jacob can advance into our future.

Ready to advance? In this message we explore how renewing our minds (Romans 12) fuels bold faith to expect great things from God and attempt great things for God, with stories from Scripture and real life. Don't leave the same as you arrived—let God transform your thinking and your future today.

Rounding off the 'Summer in the Psalms' series by unpacking Psalm 121.Exploring what it means to ADVANCE with Jesus—personally and together as a church. From funny (and slightly terrifying!) road-trip moments to the real perils of the journey—slipping into sin, running dry under the “sun,” and battles in the mind under the “moon”—we learn to lift our eyes beyond the noisy “hills” and drink from the Living Spring. If you're ready to move from routine to renewal, this message will help you fix your eyes on Jesus, hydrate your soul, and advance!

This is a continuation of the Summer in the Psalms series.Kevin begins by discussing the fact that in the old testament, names carried great meaning. An example he used was 'Jacob' and how the name means to ‘take hold of'. Jacob took hold of many things that was not his such as Esau's birthright.Kevin then discusses example about the significance of our name and God's name.One example is: Psalm 8 starts by saying LORD our Lord, how great is your name? And it is repeated in the final verse. The first Lord was YHWH and the second refers to Adonai, and this points to His position in our life.The three names for God that Kevin focused on are:Jehovah-Jireh - The ProviderJehovah Rapha - The HealerJehovah-Nissi - The Banner

Psalm 139 reminds us that God knows us better than we know ourselves — and still chooses to love us!

Watch now and be encouraged that you are His masterpiece, chosen and worth it!

This is a continuation in the Summer in the Psalms Series.Colin looks at Psalm 139 and talks about things such as identity in God and a prayer of surrender that asks God to search our heart and find anything that is not of Him and then to lead us in His ways.

Get ready for ancient wisdom, real-life stories, and a clear roadmap to a blessed life that actually works today.

This is a continuation in the Summer in the Psalms Series.Phil starts by discussing how Psalm 2 is at the heart of the coronation of an earthly king, such as the king of England. He then highlights how the bible always has many layers and uses an illustration of Russian doll's to show these many layers, while being one story.The parallel of ‘the chosen king' seems to point towards also being the Son of God, though this may have been controversial at the time.Psalm 2 is ultimately about Jesus. This doesn't mean it isn't about david and solomon, but it points to how david and solomon's story ultimately tie in to Jesus.

In this message, we dive into Psalm 139 to discover what it reveals about God, ourselves, and how deeply we're known, loved, and secure in Him.

This is the final part of the Empowered Series. Dom discussed sanctification and uses Hebrews 10:14 as a reference. This challenging message asks the question, if we are not being made holy, then have we been made perfect? The idea that if there is no fruit or evidence of a heart that's been touched by Jesus then you have to question wether you have been made perfect.

This is a continuation of the EMPOWERED series and Beth discusses a prophetic picture that the Lord put on her heart. It touches on an exercise band that needs to be stretched to be used properly and to work properly. You need tension to build momentum. We cant just pursue the slack.Beth also discusses the idea that we can focus on alot of the lack in life but we can miss out on alot of blessings.

Even when you're in the flow of God's will, life can still lead you into a storm. In this message, we explore how storms—like those faced by the disciples, Paul and Captain Sully — don't always mean we've done something wrong, but may be opportunities to deepen trust, build faith, and take our next step. Whether you're navigating uncertainty or clinging to broken pieces, you're not alone—God sees you, sustains you, and still has purpose for you.

This is a continuation of the EMPOWERED series and we talk about how, instead of pursuing Personality, Purpose, Programme, we should pursue His Presence.Personality, Purpose and Programme are all good things but they should be a servant, not a master. 

In this powerful message, we're encouraged to move deeper in our relationship with the Holy Spirit, one step at a time. Drawing from personal reflection, scripture, and Ezekiel's vision, the message reminds us that growth with God is a journey—sometimes bold, sometimes slow—but always forward. Whether you're ankle-deep or fully immersed, the invitation is clear: listen, trust, and take your next step.

This is a continuation of the EMPOWERED series. 

Today's message was a powerful reminder that communion isn't just a ritual—it's a supernatural reset. We examined how the blood of Jesus sets us free, cleans us up, makes us right with God, and opens the door to healing, holiness, and full access to His presence. As we took the bread and the cup, we didn't just remember—we declared victory, freedom, and life in all its fullness!

This is a continuation of the EMPOWERED series. Kevin talks about how Pentacostal churches can be peculiar, and how we should embrace this and allow the Holy Spirit to move within the moments that don't feel so safe, easy or comfortable.

In this message from our Life in the Flow series on the Holy Spirit, we dive into the often-misunderstood topic of holiness. Rather than a distant or exclusive standard, holiness is shown to be both a gift we receive through Jesus and a journey we walk in with the Spirit's help. You'll hear how pursuing holiness isn't about religious performance, but about becoming more sensitized to sin, suffering, and God's passionate heart for a set-apart people.

Pastor Fru explores how embracing the messiness of life—rather than trying to control or eliminate it—creates space for true spiritual growth and soul-deep living. Drawing from Mark 8, she contrasts the tidying and controlling instinct of the self with the surrendered, creative openness of the soul. Jesus doesn't ask us to fix ourselves first—He invites us to follow Him through the tension, trusting that God meets us and fulfils His purposes in the mess.

This is the first part of a series on The Holy Spirit, and Dom talks about Acts 19 where the people of the church didn't know of The Holy Spirit and how the modern church still suffers with the same issue in places.

This is the first part of a series on The Holy Spirit, beginning in Acts 2 to discuss the significance of the apostle waiting up in the upperoom and The Holy Spirit coming upon them.

This Pentecost Sunday, we explored what it means to live in the flow of the Holy Spirit—attuned, obedient, and ready to move wherever God leads. Drawing from Joshua 3 and the miraculous crossing of the Jordan, we were reminded that when God calls us forward, it often looks different than before—but always demands faith. If you're ready to stop playing it safe and step into the new thing God is doing, this message is your invitation to dive in.

Today, Sophie discusses how important forgiveness is for our walk with Jesus and highlights a passage from 1 Peter which says that Jesus set us an example as to how to not retaliate and even blessing the person you're forgiving. This whole concept is so counter cultural but it is integral to thriving as a christian. Forgiveness isn't just for the opposing party, it's for us to let go of the bitterness that can be so present within the unforgiveness.

In this heartfelt message, Adam reflects on loss, hope, and the power of stepping into God's presence with expectation. Drawing from Joshua 3 and Isaiah 43, he calls the church to Dive In... on purpose—to live attuned to the Spirit, ready for the new and extraordinary things God is preparing. It's a stirring encouragement to consecrate ourselves, elevate our faith, and move with God into unknown but amazing territory.

This week's message is about choosing life—making godly decisions in both the big and small moments of our lives. Drawing from Deuteronomy 30, Kevin shares how choosing to live, love, listen to God's voice, and hold fast to Him leads to blessing and deeper relationship with God. Through personal stories and Scripture, we're reminded that love is a choice, obedience brings life, and we're called to walk in daily partnership with the Holy Spirit.

In this powerful and personal message, Aline shares her testimony of God's faithfulness, from unexpected miracles to life-changing revelations about purpose. With passion and humour, she unpacks how we can walk in God's purpose, recognize its enemies, and live a life that glorifies Him through relationship, transformation, love, and trust—even in trials. Be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that what God has placed in you is too good to be kept to yourself.

Today we see how God speaking prophetically changed Pastor Dom's message in a single moment and explored the idea of how not choosing life is actually choosing death.We see that we can take time with God to analyse a problem, where it's rooted and what we can do to uproot these things.
