In this message, Pastor Pete examines Genesis 3, describing the fall of man as the saddest moment in history. Shaped by Satan's subtle deception and humanity's gullibility, this event brought sin into the world and helps make sense of its brokenness. At the same time, however, the Fall sets the stage for understanding God's plan of salvation for mankind.
Pastor Pete opens our God Story series with The Origin, a message affirming that God eternally exists and created the universe out of nothing. He emphasizes that mankind matters, as people are made in God's image and are the pinnacle of His creation. He concludes by showing that the story of Genesis, and all of Scripture, ultimately points to Jesus as Lord.

What does it really mean to have a healthy heart? In this message, Pastor Pete reflects on Proverbs 4:23, reminding us that just as physical health depends on a healthy heart, so does our spiritual well-being. Life flows from the inside out and we need to guard our hearts diligently, knowing that everything we do is shaped by what is within.
Ephesians 4:7-10 with Pastor Pete Denham

Romans 12:1-2 with Pastor Pete Denham
How can a person truly gain wisdom? Pastor Pete draws from the book of Proverbs to highlight that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, and is expressed through awe and reverence towards God, a heart filled with love and obedience to Him, and a life lived for Him with humility and courage.
John 1:14-17 with Pastor Pete Denham
John's Gospel opens not with a manger but with a bold declaration – the eternal Word who was with God and was God had stepped into the world. Pastor Pete shows how John, having witnessed Jesus' life, death and resurrection, realised that He was truly God. This message invites us to engage with the great truths of Christmas as John presents them in Chapter 1 – the Word became flesh and the wonder of Jesus' life and mission.

Isaiah 9 speaks of external threats to Israel and the internal corruption of their hearts. These are challenges that mirror the worries and concerns of the world we live in and the darkness in people's souls today. Pastor Pete shows how the coming of Jesus brings hope. The darkness of our hearts can only be overcome when we connect and stay connected with Him.
Pastor Pete reminds us that God not only sees the future but has already secured it. From Romans 8, he unpacks the golden chain of salvation – those God foreknew, He predestined, called, justified, and glorified. Though glorification is still ahead of us, Scripture speaks of it as already done, assuring us it is guaranteed.
The heart of Pastor Pete's message is that God saved us to bring us into His family, choosing us to become His children. It emphasises the incredible truth that adoption was always God's plan A – through Jesus Christ, we are made sons and daughters and co-heirs with Christ.
Pastor Pete's message unpacks the meaning of justification. Through the Cross, Jesus took our guilt, not only declaring us justified, but also crediting us with His righteousness – this is a gift we receive when we place our faith in Him. Our eternal standing is secured, and we are welcomed into heaven not by what we have done, but by what He has done for us.

In this message, Pastor Pete delves into the concept of spiritual warfare and the armor of God, focusing particularly on the shield of faith. We're reminded that our true enemies are not flesh and blood, but spiritual forces that seek to divide and deceive us. The shield of faith isn't just about individual belief, but about our collective allegiance to Christ and unity as believers. This message challenges us to recognize the deceptive arrows of division, prejudice, and self-interest that threaten to fracture our communities. By standing together, with our faith firmly rooted in Jesus, we can extinguish these flaming arrows and present a united front against the powers of darkness. This teaching invites us to reflect on where our true loyalties lie and how we can actively cultivate unity in our churches and communities, even amidst differences.
Ephesians 1:1-2 with Pastor Pete Denham
Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains discussions of sexual abuse and may not be suitable for all audiences. In 1964, Winston Moseley stalked and murdered Kitty Genovese. The case became infamous not only for its brutality but also for the silence of neighbors who heard her cries and did nothing. During his trial, Moseley confessed to other killings, including the murder of 15-year-old Barbara Kralik. But another man, Alvin Mitchell, had already confessed to that crime. Two men. Two confessions. One murder. This episode is not just about Barbara Kralik's death. It is about Alvin Mitchell, who later reinvented himself as a minister and claimed he was a wrongfully convicted man saved by God. Behind that testimony, his children say Alvin was hiding decades of abuse. You will hear from Naomi, one of Alvin's daughters, and Pastor Pete, a prison minister who once worked alongside Alvin. And for the first time, you will hear Alvin himself as I confront him directly. This is a story about the cost of looking away.
