James encourages us not to show favouritism. We should not show judgement to people based on outward appearance, material wealth or any other factor, rather mercy triumphs over judgement. Jesus modelled an alternative to favouritism: love. Passage: James 2:1-13Series: JamesSpeaker: Abby SheardDate: 05.03.26

At the end of the Upper Room discourse, Jesus prays a beautiful prayer for himself, his disciples and future believers. This prayer brings together the big themes of John's gospel: mission, unity, glory and love. It's a model of selfless leadership and secure identity in the face of whatever life brings.Passage: John 17Series: The Upper Room DiscourseSpeaker: Claire WongDate: 03/22/26

Bekah introduces us to our new series, the Upper Room DiscourseSeries: The Upper Room DiscourseSpeaker: Bekah AtkinsDate: 02/22/26

Jesus lovingly invites us to abide in Him, thus making our Lord and Saviour our dwelling place. This is a gentle yet radical call to step out of the world system and enter a living, intimate union with Him. As we abide in Him, we draw from His divine Life and are grafted into His incorruptible Life. In Him we find everything we need for life and godliness, for His Life begins to flow through us. From this place of abiding, our hearts are transformed, our lives bear lasting fruit, and the Father is glorified.Passage: John 15:1-25; John 5:19; Joshua 1:8; Hebrew 12:1-2/6-8; Proverbs 4:23Series: The Upper Room DiscourseSpeaker: Emmanuel MawuenaDate: 03/08/26

On the night before his death, Jesus promises his disciples, and us, the Holy Spirit - the advocate. Through the Holy Spirit we have new nearness with God, new permanence of His presence, new intimacy, and experience His transformative power. Because God makes His home in us we can surrender control, receive His peace and become more like Jesus. Passage: John 14Series: Upper Room DiscourseSpeaker: Gemma RobinsonDate: 03/01/2026
