Church Is - Week 3 | When The Church Gets Stuck

When biblical replaces Christ-like we have missed it! The Church is a movement - we need to make sure that it doesn't get stuck and becomes just a monument. For the movement to keep on moving we need more contributors than commentators, and the best investment of our time outside of our families is the local church that’s outward facing.

Church Is - Week 2 | When the Church gets it Right

Sometimes church can get a little weird! When the church goes off-track and off-mission, things go wrong; but when the church is on-track and on-mission that’s a totally different story. Can you devote one thing towards Jesus this season?

Church is - Week 1 | When the Church Goes Wrong

Everyone has an opinion about what Church is... Irrelevant? Incomprehensible? Institutional? We believe the Church is unstoppable —an outward facing, multicultural, multi generational, multiplying movement. When we lose sense of this, we lose who we are and who we were meant to be! How can we adopt the tone, posture and approach of Jesus?

Summer Shorts - Week 7 | When We Ignore God

How good are you at ignoring? We all have times when we ignore others, when we just don’t want to hear what they have to say, or we're distracted, or aren’t sure we care about their opinion. This story, heads up, is a bit wild and wacky... but we should all see ourselves in the way Jonah responds and reacts to God.

The Divine Toolbox: Exploring Spiritual Gifts

In this episode of The Lifecentral Podcast, Debs sits down with Laura and Gareth to discuss the topic of spiritual gifts. We ask what is the difference between spiritual gifts and natural talents? How do our individual backgrounds affect our beliefs around this subject? Do we all have a spiritual gift? Where do love and the fruits of the Spirit come in? We round off the episode by looking at how as christians, we fulfil our mandate of helping others to find and follow Jesus in the context of using our spiritual gifts.

Summer Shorts - Week 6 | A Shocking Marriage That Reveals God's Love

Ever feel like you’re being dealt blow after blow by life? Like being punished for something? How many people in our world feel ‘not loved’? ...the hurting, the broken... How do they feel? Like outcasts. Like they don’t belong. But you know what? While we were still a mess and when we’re in the middle of the tunnel of pain, Christ died for us.

Summer Shorts - Week 5 | When Pride Gets In The Way

Sometimes we need a bit of help to SEE. And one thing that stops us seeing or even accepting what we are seeing is PRIDE. We all have moments where we are faced with our pride. How can we deal with it when it rears it’s ugly head?

Summer Shorts - Week 4 | A Better Way To Handle Disappointment

Disappointment is part of the human condition, a part of what it means to be human. Whether you're a believer or not - disappointment will build a wall in your life. Is God a problem-solver? Dream-maker? Desire-fulfiller? Something else? In our disappointment we need to look beyond ourselves...
—Speaker: Lead Pastor, Leon Evans

In conversation with... Margaret Morcom

Where is God in disappointment? Margaret’s story is one of disappointment, sadness and grief, yet through it all she has felt closer and closer to Jesus. How is this even possible? Listen to her story to find out where God is when life deals you punch after punch.

Summer Shorts - Week 3 | Wait for it

Waiting patiently develops character. According to psychologists, patience, it turns out, is a pretty helpful attribute. It’s important that we recognise that before anyone had to wait for anything, God was already waiting for us...
