  • Living towards the day: 'Hungering and thirsting for righteousness' (Matthew 5:1-12)
    Apr 26 2026

    Episode 01 | Matt 5:1-12 | Dave Miles | 26/04/2026

    Dave begins a new series on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), beginning with the Beatitudes and focusing on Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.”

    Dave presents righteousness as a new way of living—obedience from the heart that seeks God’s kingdom and will “to the max.”

    This talk explores why believers would crave God’s will, arguing from Ephesians 1 that God’s will and pleasure are one and the same, reflecting the Old Testament concept of God’s “ratzon” (favour/pleasure/will), illustrated in Psalms, Proverbs, and Isaiah 61 as the Messiah’s announcement of the “year of the Lord’s favour.”

    Dave challenges fear-based views of God, frames obedience as entering God’s delight, and addresses spiritual apathy by showing how Jesus awakens desire, using John 4 to reveal misplaced pursuits that don’t satisfy and invite people to living water and true fulfilment.

  • We Belong To The Day: 'A New Heavens & A New Earth' (2 Peter 3)
    Apr 19 2026

    Episode 07 | 2 Peter 3 | David Miles | 19/04/2026

    Dave reflects on 2 Peter 3, explaining that the “day of the Lord” answers scoffers by affirming Jesus’ future return and judgment, delayed not by unfaithfulness but by God’s patience so more may repent during an ongoing global missionary period.

    He argues verse 10 is best translated “the earth and the works in it will be found/exposed,” not “burned up,” based on older Greek manuscripts, reshaping the view that creation will be discarded. “Destroyed” is explained as dissolved and radically transformed, like the world after Noah’s flood, with God pictured as a refiner whose purifying fire yields a new heavens and new earth—this world renewed, not replaced. Implications include the lasting significance of good works, God’s loving judgment that purges evil, and readiness for Christ’s sudden return amid continued gospel expansion worldwide.

  • The Day Rises: 'Before we Finish' (1 Thess 5)
    Apr 12 2026

    Episode 04 | 1 Thess 5 | Tim Small | 12/4/2026

    Tim closes our series on 1 Thessalonians by comparing preparing for “the day of the Lord” to preparing for his wedding, arguing that believers should order their whole lives toward readiness.

    He explains the Old Testament background of the phrase, noting Israel’s mistaken expectation of automatic blessing and Amos’s warning that religious activity without acceptable preparation leads to judgment, though with a promise of restoration.

    From 1 Thessalonians 5, he outlines practical preparation in relationships: honour and submit to church leaders (noting the recent appointment of new elders), live in peace, correct the idle, encourage the disheartened, help the weak with patience, and do not repay wrong for wrong, especially amid persecution. He adds spiritual practices—rejoice, pray, give thanks, test teaching, and abstain from evil—then reassures that God faithfully sanctifies and keeps believers blameless through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

  • Easter Sunday 2026: ‘How Our Hearts Burned’ (Luke 24)
    Apr 6 2026

    Episode 02 | Luke 24 | Stuart Brooking | 5/4/2026

    Have you ever felt the deep disillusionment of a dream that didn’t turn out the way you expected? In this Easter message from Stuart, we walk alongside two downcast disciples on the road to Emmaus. Weighed down by the trauma of the cross, they encounter a "stranger" who connects the dots of history—from the Garden of Eden to the suffering servant of Isaiah. Discover how a two-hour Bible study with the risen Jesus transformed their despair into a burning passion, and how that same resurrection life offers us a new beginning today.

  • Good Friday 2026: 'The Story Of Good Friday' (Luke 22-23)
    Apr 3 2026

    Episode 01 | Luke 22-23 | David Miles | 3/4/2026

    Good Friday is a day marked by deep contrast. It is harrowing and somber, yet it is uniquely rich with the glory of God. In this special gathering, Dave leads us through a devotional reflection on the final hours of Jesus’ life as recorded in Luke 22-23.

    From the dark shadows of the Garden of Gethsemane to the public mockery of the Roman trials, we witness the "power of darkness" seemingly taking control. However, beneath the surface of this tragedy lies the greatest victory in human history. Through the vivid exchange of Jesus for the murderer Barabbas, we see the heart of the Gospel: the Innocent One dying in the place of the guilty.

  • Maundy Thursday 2026: 'A Homily' (Luke 22-23)
    Apr 2 2026

    "Why is this night different to all other nights?" This is the question that has echoed through Jewish households for centuries during the Passover feast. But two thousand years ago, in a quiet upper room and a shadowed garden, that traditional question took on a weight it had never held before.

    In this moving maundy thursday reflection, Toby weaves together the ancient story of Israel’s deliverance with the immediate, harrowing reality of Jesus’ final hours. While the rest of Jerusalem celebrated a God who once came close, Jesus was becoming the God who stayed close—even unto death. Join us as we journey from the flickering candles of the Passover table to the dawn of the crucifixion, discovering how a Lamb led to the slaughter became our ultimate means of life.
