Our words have an enormous impact on our lives and those around us, hugely powerful in shaping the "sound" of our lives. What do you want people to hear when they listen to your life? What do you want to be known for? Will your sound be one that points people to God?

William Paul Young, author of The Shack, speaks with raw honesty about the breathtaking depths of God's love and acceptance that brought him out of the debilitating grip of shame and into a life of love and wholeness.

It's vital to erect guard rails around our hearts because an unguarded heart can overpower our most guarded behaviour.

If there’s one area of life we can stray off course it’s with our money. If we don’t live carefully we can find ourselves in a place where we don’t just have money but money has us. That’s why it’s essential to establish guard rails with our finances. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Matthew 6:22-30

Guard rails keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas. If there's one area in which personal guard rails are most needed but also most resisted, it's in our relationships. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Have you ever met someone that later you wish you had never met? Some of our biggest regrets in life involve people, because people have the power to take us off course. That’s why we need guardrails in our friendships. Reading: Proverbs 13:20 Speaker: Emily Hopkins

Guard rails. They’re everywhere but they don’t get much attention… until somebody hits one. Ever wonder what it would be like to have guard rails in certain areas of your life? Parenting. Friendships. Finances. They sound restrictive but what if the true freedom they bring makes life better?

Excitement was in the room as we heard from Kristyn Haddon on Mother’s Day 2018. Kristyn shared the significance of how women have always been among Jesus’ disciples and are part of His movement of making disciples. Speaker: Kristyn Haddon Reading: Luke 8:1-3; Matthew 28:18-20

They are constantly a point of confusion, even contention amongst Christians. They were back then. They are today. What are 'Spiritual Gifts' and how does the Holy Spirit use them for the purposes of blessing the church and world around us? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11

Do you know what it’s like to be filled with joy? Do you experience genuine peace regardless of your life circumstances? Do you consistently respond with kindness no matter what you receive from others? Who Does? Yet, we sometimes get caught up in everything that God wants us to do, that we lose sight of who God wants us to be. Do you know the difference? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Galatians 5:16-26

Did you ever have someone say "don't do that, you know better"? In this message we'll see that Christians have the freedom to do "whatever the heck we want"… and yet, should we? Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: Romans 8:12-17

Christianity is not a set of rules or regulations, it's a power that changes you from the inside out. Speaker: Emily Hopkins Reading: Romans 8:1-11

What if what was missing in your spiritual life was not something, but someone? It's too easy to reduce Christianity to a set of rules or routines. It's more exciting than that! In this new series, we'll take a look at the guy behind the guy of Christianity - the Holy Spirit. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: John 14: 16-26

We get it. Easter is a time where many Christians will go on about some guy who was raised from the dead. Yet what if it was true? This year we want to invite you back. Not back to church. Not back to religion. Back to wonder again. Maybe even to believe again.

Speaker: Sam Haddon

Did you know that Jesus the King, arrived into Jerusalem on a donkey? Have you ever found yourself in the midst of an expectation gap? Hear more about it - as Emily Hopkins discusses John Chapter 12, and the mysterious way that Jesus explodes our exceptions. Reading: John 12: 12-19 Speaker: Emily Hopkins

Former Senior Pastor Graham Agnew joins us to share about the unique power available to us, in Jesus Christ. Speaker: Graham Agnew Reading: Acts1: 1-8

Life is full of surprises – some good, some not so good. But each unexpected event that comes our way is actually a divine opportunity. In this instalment of the DNA of Faith, we’ll discover the role that pivotal moments play in the development of our confidence in God. Speaker: Sam Haddon Reading: John 11.1-7, 21-26, 38-45, 48-50, 53

If you have ever volunteered to do something for which you felt totally unqualified, then you already know what an experience like that can do for your faith. One DNA building block of Faith is personal service. In this message we will explore the relationship between our faith and our service to others. Reading: Matthew 14:13-31 Speaker: Sam Haddon

Disciplines are those things we are supposed to do but don’t always want to. Any athlete, artist or musician will tell you that discipline is essential to all growth or development. No one get’s better in these areas with out persistent practice. The same is true with our faith – we don’t grow without persistent practice – we don’t grow without doing those things we know we are supposed to do but don’t always want to. Reading: Matthew 6:1-8 Speaker: Emily Hopkins
