In this message from Matthew 22, Ps. Alan unpacks the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, where Jesus reveals the heart of God’s invitation to His kingdom. While many are invited, few are chosen, not because the invitation is limited, but because the response is lacking. In a world content with surface religion and self-made righteousness, Jesus calls us to be clothed in what only He can provide. Discover how true discipleship means accepting God’s invitation, receiving His righteousness, and living ready for the King’s celebration.
In this message from Matthew 23:1-12, Ps. Brian Somerville explores how Jesus redefined leadership through love, humility, and service. While the Pharisees sought position, praise, and public recognition, Jesus modelled a kingdom way, one that leads through surrender, not status. Where religion exalted pride, Jesus elevated people; where leaders demanded honour, He chose to serve. Discover how true leadership flows from love, valuing dignity over dominance, compassion over control, and destiny over the desire for approval. Learn what it means to lead from love, following the One who humbled Himself to lift others higher.
In this message from Matthew 21:12–22, we explore how Jesus confronted nominal religion and revealed that radical faith is the new normal in His kingdom. Where the temple had traded God’s presence for profit, the priests restrained praise, and Israel rejected its purpose, Jesus calls us back to authentic worship, surrendered praise, and true kingdom purpose. Discover how radical faith means choosing the Person over the place, praise over preferences, and purpose over personal comfort.
This week, pastor Brian shares a powerful message from Matthew 20:29–34.
In this passage, the blind men refuse to let the crowd silence them and their persistence brings them face to face with Jesus.
Pastor Brian reminds us that the crowds follow Jesus, not the other way around. In the same way, we must not let external voices of opinion or internal voices of fear and anxiety control us. Instead, we fix our focus on Jesus.
Ps. Sean Booth unpacks why God values obedience more than sacrifice. Through the story of the wealthy young man and Samuel’s words, we’re reminded that true discipleship isn’t about good works, but full surrender to Christ. Obedience may cost us, but it leads to freedom and eternal life.
Ps. Sean dives into Matthew 18 to remind us that Jesus sees each of us as the one that matters. Just like a shepherd leaving the 99 to find the one wandering sheep, God pursues us personally, tenderly, and relentlessly. This message will encourage you to see yourself through God’s eyes, embrace His pursuit, and understand the value He places on every lost soul.
Have you ever thought of asking yourself the question, What is the purpose of the church?
Lead Pastor, Sean Booth, takes a step back and asks these 3 questions;
1. What Is The Purpose Of The Local Church?
2. Why Is There A Need For The Local Church?
3. Why Become Part of The Local Church?
If you interested in what the bible has to say about these 3 questions, come and find out by hearing a great message from Ps.Sean Booth.
The bible tells us in 2nd Peter chapter 1, that God has already given us all we need. As Christians, many of us know about this verse, but we don't know this verse. In a world that teaches us to get more and tells us we don't have enough, does this promise from God still stand?
Give this sermon a listen to find out.
Life is full of uncertainty, fear, and moments that can shake us to the core. But in John 14, Jesus reminds us: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” In this message, we’ll discover how to find peace that goes beyond circumstance and a hope that cannot be shaken, because our confidence is in Christ alone.
They say it’s not what you know, but who you know. In this week’s message, Ps. Brian unpacks the power of relationships, divine connections, and how knowing the right Person, Jesus, can change everything."
Pastor Alan Fay unpacks a moment in Acts where Paul, on trial for his faith, is accused of being “out of his mind.” Alan challenges listeners with a bold truth: to truly believe and live out the gospel may look crazy to the world but it’s even crazier not to. Discover why following Jesus requires a radical shift in thinking and why the so-called “foolishness” of the gospel is actually the wisest choice you can make.
In this message from Isaiah 43, Ps. Brian Somerville speaks to the moments when staying stuck is no longer an option. God is doing a new thing, but to see it, you have to let go of what was. It’s not just about moving forward; it’s about trusting that what’s ahead is greater than what’s behind. It’s time to move on.
In this message by Matthew Craig, we dive into the story of Gideon and the Midianites, a powerful reminder that victory doesn’t come from our strength, but God’s. When the odds are stacked against you, God often shows up in unexpected ways to prove His power. Your weakness might just be the setup for His glory.
In this timely message, Ps. Brian Somerville unpacks a pivotal moment from the Gospel of Matthew, what he calls a Messiah Moment. It’s the kind of moment that shifts everything, where revelation meets response.
In this stirring message, Ps. Brian Somerville. challenges the difference between religion and relationship. Drawing from the Gospel of Matthew, we confront the traditions that often get in the way of true transformation. It’s not about performance, it’s about presence. Sometimes, losing your religion is exactly what it takes to find Jesus.
In this powerful message from Matthew 14, Ps. Sean Booth explores a question many overlook: How does Peter get back onto the boat? Through Peter’s story, we discover a deeper truth: failure doesn’t disqualify you from walking again. Whether you've stumbled, sunk, or strayed, God still calls you to rise. This is your moment. This is your time to walk again.
In this episode, Ps. Patrick delves into chapter 14 in the book of Matthew and focuses on Peter and Jesus walking on water.
Planted people produce fruit. Psalm 92:13 "Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish." The kingdom of God will nourish your soul, but you need to be planted and rooted.
We often prioritise our schedule(what we think needs to be done rather than scheduling our priorities. Rest is a priority, and God desires you to experience rest.

You may not be tired but you might be weary, and many of us don't realise that our well is drying up, but we have good news. Jesus calls us who are weary just as we are and wants to fill up that well.
