Following Jesus Means Letting Him In – Shannon Cocker
3w ago00:35:59Tap to summarizeSalvation happens when we open the front door. Transformation is the courage to open the rest of the house.In this message, Shannon looks at two incredible encounters with the exact same Jesus. The rich young ruler kept his comfort and walked away sad. Zacchaeus gladly surrendered his hiding place and found absolute joy. Jesus is far more interested in what has you than what you have. He is gently knocking on your inner rooms today. Take a quiet moment to ask the Holy Spirit which closed door you are standing behind and gently invite Him inside.

Follow Me Into The Kingdom – Andrea Cocker
4w ago00:44:05Tap to summarizeWhen Jesus announced that the Kingdom of God had come near, He extended a radical invitation to stop pushing heaven away and start experiencing His reign right here on earth. His kingdom is where we truly thrive, find true abundance, and discover lasting fulfilment. Yet, stepping into it requires us to lay down our personal preferences and choose to build our lives on the unshakable bedrock of His truth.In this week's message, Andrea invites us to lay down our own agendas and submit to God's rule, and live in His kingdom.

Follow Me Into Truth – Shannon Cocker
Jun 1500:32:07Tap to summarizeJesus is not a way. He is the way.Jesus is not one possible interpretation of truth among many. He is truth itself.Jesus does not merely offer a better version of life. Life in its fullness is found in Him.“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6 (NIV)Notice how He does not simply say, “I know the truth.” His offer is not, “I will explain the truth,” or even, “I will show you the truth.” He says, “I am the truth.”Truth, then, is not merely an idea to understand. Truth has a name. Truth can be known. Truth can be followed.That’s the essence of following Jesus. His invitation to “follow me” is also an invitation to follow Him into truth.

Follow Jesus, He Will Make You Clean – Andrea Cocker
Jun 800:43:34Tap to summarizeHave you ever noticed how easy it is to believe God's grace for other people but completely struggle to receive it for yourself? Many of us carry a quiet, ungodly belief that tells us we need to clean ourselves up before we can approach God. We try to distract Jesus by bringing Him all the shiny things in our lives. We show Him the parts we have put together while hiding our deepest, most shameful struggles over in the dark. We sit in isolation, punishing ourselves a little bit, believing that if we wait long enough and try harder, He might eventually calm down and accept us back into His presence.We have been taught a very dangerous half truth that a holy God will not tolerate sin in His presence. But the reality we see all through scripture teaches us a much faster way back into a right relationship with our Father. From Isaiah standing terrified in the temple with unclean lips to the isolated leper begging to be made clean, we see a Saviour who is not threatened or contaminated by our mess. Jesus passionately moves toward the exact places we want to hide. His holiness is contagious. When we step out from under the old covenant mindset of striving and waiting, we discover that coming to Him with our unedited reality is actually the very place we get burned pure.Come out of hiding, posture your heart to receive His spirit, and step fully into the freedom of being held by a Saviour who is entirely willing to make you clean.

Follow Me Into Freedom And Grace (Part 3) – Shannon Cocker
Jun 100:38:44Tap to summarizeGrace means you don’t have to prove yourself to God. So what do we do with good works? In this message Shannon unpacks “dead works” with practical clarity: routines without faith, presumption without fresh direction, and service driven by “should.” The invitation is into works that flow from identity, calling, and grace-fuelled freedom.

Following Failure – Andrea Cocker
May 2500:47:27Tap to summarizeFailure is real. Uncomfortably real. But it is not the end.This message looks at Peter’s story, the garden of Gethsemane, and the power of Pentecost to remind us that Jesus does not ignore our failures, but He does not leave us stuck in them either. There is grace to repent, receive forgiveness, be filled again, and step into the future God still has for us.

Follow Me Into Freedom And Grace (Part 2) – Shannon Cocker
May 1800:38:03Tap to summarizeOn Sunday Shannon continued the message of grace and what it actually means for our relationship with sin. One of the big questions Paul asks in Romans 6 is this: if grace is truly free, then does it matter how we live?And Paul’s answer is clear. By no means.Grace is not permission to stay stuck. Grace changes who we are.

Follow Me Into Freedom And Grace (Part 1) – Shannon Cocker
May 1100:32:49Tap to summarizeWe are no longer under law, but under grace—but what does that actually mean for our daily walk with God?In this message, Shannon explores the journey many Christian's experience where we are first born again, we experience a "wonderful freedom" a lightness where the weight of sin, shame, and guilt is suddenly lifted. But for many of us, that freedom is quickly replaced by modern Christian checklists. We start loading up on religious expectations. How much we pray, how we serve, and how we give. Until that initial freedom turns into a heavy burden of performance. You are hidden in Christ and clothed in His righteousness. On your worst day, you cannot diminish the Father's love for you, and on your best day, you cannot add to it. Grace is a gift to be received, again and again.

Belong, Follow, Become. – Stuart Allan
May 400:26:55Tap to summarizeJesus doesn't invite us into a system or a methodology; He invites us into a relationship.In this message, Stuart illustrates the radical difference between a servant and a son. Whether it’s the story of Zacchaeus or the calling of the first disciples, we see a consistent pattern: Jesus initiates, He accepts us exactly as we are, and that acceptance becomes the engine for true transformation.Stop trying to qualify yourself and start living from a place of belonging. The invitation is open: Come, follow Me.

An Invitation Into A Personal Relationship – Shannon Cocker
Apr 2700:34:10Tap to summarizeWhat did Jesus really mean when he said, "Follow Me"?In this message, Shannon explores the radical and countercultural nature of Jesus's invitation. Unlike the rabbis of the first century, Jesus didn't wait for elite scholars to apply to his theological school. Instead, he walked right up to everyday workers and invited them into a relationship, rather than a strict ideology or a religion.Jesus pursues us directly and desires intimacy and connection over our performance. Our goal is simply to draw closer to Him.
