This week, we focus on our final core value: Authentic Community. By exploring the crucial role of a lifeboat station, we look at how a healthy, united church functions as a body where every individual is uniquely valued and called to serve. Skip wraps up the series with a powerful challenge, calling us to actively work as dedicated crew members committed to one another rather than remaining passive passengers.

This week, Segun continues with our fourth value: Sharing Christ. He compares Sharing Christ to the searchlight of a lifeboat, emphasising our responsibility to reach out into the world and illuminate the way for those who are lost. Segun identifies three methods for shining our light: demonstrating a Christlike character (life), providing personal testimony (lips), and placing trust in the Lord. He encourages us to move beyond our comfort zones and serve as a guiding light for others.

In the third message of our Lifeboat series, we dive into our next core value: Humbly Serving. We’re shifting our focus from the vessel to the crew—the people on board. The church isn’t a luxury liner for passengers; it’s a rescue boat that requires every hand on deck. Join us as we explore how we are called to use our God-given gifts for the glory of Christ, seeking the lost by faithfully serving His bride.

On the chaotic waters of the sea, even the most advanced and well-equipped lifeboats are useless if their engines run out of fuel. In this episode of our Lifeboat series, we dive into why the Holy Spirit is our true "fuel." Without the Holy Spirit, the church cannot effectively fulfill its calling to serve the community, proclaim Christ, and "rescue" those in need.

From grief in the garden to hope at the empty tomb, Ben ends this Easter series by asking the question: not what we’re looking for, but who.
As Jesus calls Mary by name, He shows He is alive—and He calls each of us to follow Him.
The answer to our emptiness and the brokenness of this world is found in Jesus Christ, so will you listen as he calls your name and follow him?
