What happens when God moves you out of your comfort zone?
This week, we continue our journey through Acts as persecution scatters the early church beyond the walls of Jerusalem and to unexpected places. What seemed like a fatal setback became part of God's plan to take the good news of Jesus to everyone.
As Philip arrives in Samaria, we see a powerful contrast between a life filled with the Holy Spirit and a life focused on self-promotion.Looking beneath the surface, we spot the difference between the works of the Holy Spirit and the works of man. We explore what it means to truly testify about Jesus, why the Holy Spirit always points people towards Christ, and why God's gift can never be earned, bought, or manipulated.
Join us as we consider how pressure reveals what's really inside us, how God works through unexpected circumstances, and how the gospel was never meant to stay contained.

Who do you hold in your heart?
Join us this week as we dive into what it means to hold those you love in your heart and how Jesus bears our names in his scars and carries us in prayer.
We discover the significance of the names of the sons of Israel being written on precious stones on the heart of the priest, what this means for us today, and how we can follow the example of Exodus 28 by carrying those we love before God in a way that is truly loving and has a lasting impact.
Join us this week as we ask if praying for someone consistently is truly loving and something worth doing?

'Water into wine' - Joel Singleton - 20th September 2026
Join us as we dive into the first miracle Jesus performs in the Gospel of John.
At a wedding in Cana, Jesus steps into a moment of embarrassment and quietly reveals God's heart. The phrase 'On the third day' is used in Scripture again and again and is associated with themes of rescue, renewal, and new life. The writer makes clear it is on the third day that Jesus turns water into wine.
This week we reflect on the God who brings life, who is more concerned about meeting us where we are, not in the extraordinary but at tables. We can transport ourselves into the story; we can sit with the six stone jars, symbols of our effort, our repetition, our lives of longing and watch as Jesus transforms and fills them to the brim with new life.
We consider the servants who obeyed without understanding, who carried the miracle in their hands before they ever saw it with their eyes. And we ask what it means for us to do the same: to fill what He asks us to fill, to trust what we cannot yet see, and to carry His life into the places He sends us.
We turn our attention to Jesus, the One who reveals God’s glory, who pours out His life like wine so that we can receive his life This is a story of transformation, of grace overflowing, and of a Saviour who still meets us in the ordinary.
