It’s easy to look at life and see a list of problems. It’s much harder to believe things can actually change.In this talk, Archie Coates looks at Numbers 13 and the story of the Promised Land. He explores why two people can look at the same situation and see two completely different realities. Instead of focusing on the barriers, this conversation invites us to see what’s possible with God. Join us Sundays at 11am + 6pm.Doors open 30mins before for ☕️.https://www.facebook.com/blackpool.church/https://www.instagram.com/blackpool.church/ https://www.tiktok.com/@blackpool.church/#blackpoolchurch #Hope #Faith #BlackpoolChurch

Picking a path is exhausting. We’re terrified of missing out or wasting years on the wrong thing. It's enough to make anyone feel stuck.In this talk from our series, "One Last Thing", Tom looks at John 14. He explains what Jesus meant by calling himself "The Way." It turns out Jesus isn’t interested in giving us a kit list or a GPS coordinate. He offers something else entirely. Following him doesn't mean life gets easy or that the headlines change overnight. It means we have a companion who shows up in our messiest, weakest moments.Instead of guessing your way through life, this conversation invites us to trust the person who actually knows the road. Whether you’re feeling confident in your direction or totally stranded, this talk is for you.#Direction #DecisionFatigue #Jesus #BlackpoolChurchJoin us Sundays at 11am + 6pm, doors open 30mins before for ☕️Find us on Socials:https://www.instagram.com/blackpool.church/https://www.facebook.com/Blackpool.Church/https://www.tiktok.com/@blackpool.church

Love is usually sold as a warm blanket or a romantic dinner. We want the French cheese and the chocolate mousse. But real love is often gritty, strange, and deeply inconvenient. It’s the kind of love that gets on the floor to wash dirty feet.In this talk from our One Last Thing series, Andy Dykes explores John 13. He looks at how Jesus used his final moments to do something completely bizarre. It wasn't about being nice. It was about being uncomfortably close.Instead of staying safe in our comfort zones, this conversation invites us to open every door of our lives to God. Even the messy parts we try to hide.CONTENT NOTE: This episode includes a brief mention of pregnancy loss and miscarriage.PRODUCTION NOTE: This was episode was recorded on Simple Sunday, which marks the first week of Lent.

Ever feel like you’re trying to describe a a colour that doesn’t exist? Most of us feel that way when we talk about the Trinity. In this talk from our What We Believe series, Sam explores how God reveals himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Instead of getting lost in confusing jargon, this conversation invites us to see how God’s nature changes the way we actually live and pray. We stop seeing an angry judge and start seeing a unified God who is completely for us.

None of us enjoy the feeling of having our mistakes brought into the light; we’d much rather point out everyone else’s faults than face our own. Yet, beneath that discomfort is a deeper longing to be truly known and still fully loved, without the weight of past "conflict" holding us back.In this talk from our We Believe series, we explore the "Theories of Atonement", the different ways the cross actually works to mend our relationship with God. Instead of hiding in shame or trying to "fix" ourselves, this conversation invites us to step into the freedom of being set right through a love that was proven by sacrifice.Join us Sundays at 11am + 6pm, doors open 30mins before for ☕️Find us on Socials@blackpool.church | blackpool.church

What if being almost right about Jesus isn’t enough?In the debut talk of our "We Believe" series, Tom explores one of the most important and hope-filled truths of the Christian faith: Jesus is fully God and fully human. Not half and half. Not pretending. Not distant. Fully present with us and fully powerful.This isn’t just niche theology for textbooks, its hope for our darkest moments, wherever you are in your faith journey.Join us Sundays at 11am + 6pm, doors open 30mins before for ☕️Find us on Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/blackpool.church/https://www.facebook.com/Blackpool.Church/

Simplicity isn't about owning less for the sake of it. If your life feels full but your spirit feels tired, this conversation is an invitation to slow down and make room for what truly lasts. Closing our Interpersonal Trainer series, we explore the spiritual practice of simplicity through the story of Mary and martha in Luke 10. Eloise challenges the the cluttered pace of modern life and invites us to consider how distraction, hurry, and excess might be drowning out God's voice.Join us Sundays at 11am + 6pm, doors open 30mins before for ☕️Find us on Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/blackpool.church/https://www.facebook.com/Blackpool.Church/

Truth can feel uncomfortable, but it’s also where healing begins. we often live inside small lies that slowly shape our hearts, our relationships, and our faith.Drawing from Matthew 7, Andy invites us to become people of truth, not just in what we say to others, but in what we allow God to say to us. When we stop minimising our sin, stop writing ourselves off, and stop pretending we’re okay, we make room for grace, growth, and real connection with God.Join us Sundays at 11am + 6pm, doors open 30mins before for ☕️Find us on Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/blackpool.church/https://www.facebook.com/Blackpool.Church/

Consistency doesn't come naturally to most of us... but it might be the secret weapon we're looking for.If you've ever started strong and given up quickly, this episode is an encouragement to take one small step and not give up. In the second talk in our Interpersonal Trainer series, we explore why consistency is good for you, good for others and has eternal consequences. Drawing from Psalm 1 and the words of Jesus, Heather looks at how small, repeatable habits shape our faith, character and the people around us.

Gratitude isn't just something for when life is going well. It's something we choose even if it's all going wrong. The first talk in our Interpersonal Trainer series, Andy explores Psalm 100 and challenges the idea of "counting our blessings" as a mindset. Instead inviting. us to choose gratitude as a posture, even before the results come in, before emotions catch up, and even when life feels unresolved. Whether you're feeling thankful, struggling to feel it, or unsure where to begin, this talk is for you.Join us Sundays at 11am + 6pm, doors open 30mins before for ☕️Find us on Socials @blackpool.church | blackpool.church/visit

Ever feel like you’re on the outside looking in? Shame has a way of isolating us, making us feel "unclean" or unworthy of love. We hide our true selves because we’re afraid that if people really knew us, they’d walk away.In this talk from the finale of our launch series, Sam DH explores the powerful moment Jesus touches a leper. Instead of recoiling from our mess, this conversation invites us to experience a God who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to restore us.Whether you are lonely, ashamed, or just need a fresh start, this talk is for you.#Shame #Restoration #BlackpoolChurch #Love

We all have storms we can't control. Sometimes that storm is inside us, a chaotic mix of shame, anger, or addiction that makes us feel isolated and misunderstood. We try to chain it up, but it keeps breaking loose.In this talk from our launch of The Six, Rachel Gardner explores the encounter between Jesus and the Gerasene demoniac. Instead of avoiding the mess, this conversation invites us to see a Jesus who crosses the storm just to find the one person everyone else gave up on.Whether you feel out of control or unseen in your pain, this talk is for you.#Hope #BlackpoolChurch #Healing

Do you feel like your story is already written? Maybe you’ve labelled yourself as "the anxious one," "the failure," or "the one who always messes up." It’s easy to let our past mistakes or current struggles become our permanent identity.In this talk from our launch of The Six, Bishop Jill explores how God interrupts our lives to rewrite the headlines we speak over ourselves. Instead of accepting a narrative of fear or defeat, this conversation invites us to step into the freedom of a new name.Whether you are stuck in the past or fearful of the future, this talk is for you.#Identity #Freedom #BlackpoolChurch #NewBeginnings

Feel like you're constantly running on fumes? You’re not alone. Most of us live life with the "fuel light" on, hoping we can make it just a few more miles before everything breaks down.In this talk from our launch of The Six, Dan Belcher explores the feeding of the 5,000 and what happens when we bring our "not enough" to Jesus. Instead of asking you to do more with less, this conversation invites us to see how God multiplies what we surrender. Whether you are exhausted, overwhelmed, or just hungry for something real, this talk is for you.#Burnout #Miracles #BlackpoolChurch #Jesus #Don'tLimitGodWithYourSmallThinking

We all face giants. Whether it’s anxiety, debt, or a relationship that’s falling apart, sometimes the obstacles in front of us feel impossible to overcome. We feel small, ill-equipped, and ready to give up.In this talk from our launch of The Six, Ben Woodfield explores the story of David. Instead of just "trying harder," this conversation invites us to see that the battle isn't actually ours to win. It’s about who is fighting for us.Whether you are facing a massive challenge or just feeling worn down by life, this talk is for you.#DavidAndGoliath #OvercomingAnxiety #BlackpoolChurch #Faith #theSIX
