In this uplifting Christmas message, Stu Brown invites us to slow down and rediscover what the season is really about. With humour, honesty, and warmth, he challenges the busyness and consumerism that so easily take over December and reminds us that Christmas isn’t just a holiday, it’s the moment heaven came to earth.

Through stories, Scripture, and reflection, Stu explores Jesus’ question to His disciples, “Who do you say I am?” and reminds us that how we answer that changes everything.

Like Simeon and Anna at the temple, we’re called to recognize the true presence of Jesus and respond with praise, even in the middle of life’s messiness.

Whether your Christmas feels joyful or complicated, this message will help you centre your heart on what really matters: the hope, peace, and love that arrived when Christ was born.

In this powerful message, Bev Murrill explores how God uses the challenges, pain, and irritations of life to shape us into something beautiful. Drawing from Jesus’ parable of the pearl of great price, Bev reminds us that true transformation takes time and surrender. Like an oyster forming a pearl around a grain of sand, God covers our pain, pride, and fear with His grace until it shines with His glory.

She challenges us to let go of the “holy grails” we cling to. Our opinions, control, and need to be right and instead pursue the priceless treasure of becoming more like Christ. Real healing comes not from what we hold on to, but from what we release into God’s hands.

This message will inspire you to trust God’s process, find beauty in difficulty, and keep seeking the pearl of great price, Jesus Himself. No matter the cost.

In this encouraging message, John Crawford challenges us to stop living with a “not yet” mindset and start stepping into what God is calling us to do now. We all have good intentions, plans to grow closer to God, change habits, or become better versions of ourselves but too often we get stuck waiting for the perfect time.

Through Scripture and personal stories, John reminds us that God’s kingdom is not a distant dream but something we can experience in our everyday lives when we choose to make Him the centre of everything. The distractions of the world, our possessions, ambitions, and self-focus can easily take our eyes off what really matters.

This message will inspire you to stop delaying growth, confront what’s holding you back, and refocus on the one thing that lasts forever. God’s love and purpose are available now, not someday. The question is, will you let Him in today?

In this heartfelt message, Ps Sue Irwin invites us to see confession not as something to fear, but as a doorway to freedom. Too often we hide what’s really going on inside because we expect judgment or rejection. But God’s heart is not to punish, it is to heal. When we come honestly before Him, we step out of shame and into grace.

Through Scripture and real-life stories, Sue explains how confession is less about listing our mistakes and more about letting light into hidden places. It’s where belief becomes experience, where we discover that God’s mercy is greater than our guilt. She also challenges us to be the kind of friends who can hold another’s honesty without judgment, creating spaces where grace and healing can take root.

This message will encourage you to stop hiding, to trust God’s kindness, and to experience the freedom that comes when we allow His love to make us whole.

In this heartfelt message, Bev Murrill reminds us that every follower of Jesus carries the light of God within themand that light is meant to be shared. Drawing from Psalm 97:11, she explains how light can be sown like seeds, spreading hope and truth wherever we go.

Through touching personal stories, Bev reflects on her late husband legacy of shining God’s light and challenges us to do the same in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Even when the world feels dark, God calls His people to bring light into it. Not because we are perfect, but because His light never runs out.

This message is a powerful encouragement for anyone who feels small or insignificant. One tiny flame can ignite thousands more. The world doesn’t need perfection; it needs people willing to shine. Bev’s words will inspire you to live courageously, sow seeds of light in dark places, and trust that God’s brilliance will shine through you for generations to come.

In this inspiring message, we are invited to look at life through the lens of grace rather than fairness. So often we find ourselves wondering why things happen the way they do or why life doesn’t seem fair. But through the story of Job, we are reminded that God is not building a world based on fairness. He is creating a kingdom built on grace.

Grace is where love is freely given, not earned. It is what transforms hearts, heals relationships, and restores hope. When we stop trying to earn God’s favor and simply receive His love, everything changes.

If you have ever struggled with disappointment, loss, or the feeling that life has been unfair, this message will encourage you to rest in God’s goodness. You will discover that in His kingdom of grace, every moment of pain and every act of love is redeemed for something far greater than fairness could ever offer.

In this inspiring message, we are reminded that generosity isn’t just a nice thing to do, it’s part of God’s design for human flourishing. From the laws of Moses to the life of Jesus and the early church, we see that God hardwired generosity into His plan for healing relationships, communities, and even nations.

Through powerful stories from the streets of Nepal to the villages of Uganda and the everyday generosity happening within our own church we are invited to live with open hands and courageous hearts. True generosity isn’t reckless giving; it’s confidence in who we are and in the God who provides.

This episode challenges us to see generosity as more than a transaction, it’s a transformation. When we live with open hearts and let God’s love flow through us, we become part of His story of renewal, justice, and hope in the world.

In this powerful and heartfelt message, Pastor Sam reminds us that life was never meant to be lived all at once. When we try to carry tomorrow’s worries or dwell on yesterday’s regrets, we miss the beauty of what God is doing right now. Drawing from Scripture, he challenges us to slow down, trust God’s timing, and take life one day at a time.

Through personal stories of faith, forgiveness, and transformation, Sam shares how surrendering control opens the door for peace and freedom. Whether it’s breaking free from anxiety, learning to forgive, or simply choosing gratitude for today, this message will inspire you to live in the moment with God’s strength.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the future or burdened by the past, this episode is a timely reminder that God is in both but He meets you in the now.
