A calling, not just a comfort
4d ago00:20:25Tap to summarizeThis message explores how the Lord’s Prayer begins not with our needs, but with who God is - our Father, both intimate and holy. Calling Him “Father” isn’t just a comfort; it’s a calling to live in a way that reflects His character and makes His name known.

Transcribe →Living Lives of Faith in Community
1w ago00:34:13Tap to summarizeThrough James we have been exploring what a ‘living faith’ looks like. In this last talk of the series we unpack what a living faith looks like in community, through all the highs and lows of life. And this is through a dependence on God, but not only that, it’s also through a dependence on each other.Passage: James 5:13-20; 2 Corinthians 5:1-5Series: JamesSpeaker: Anna CharlesDate: 07/12/26
Transcribe →Staking the Heart Patiently in the Lord
2w ago00:37:45Tap to summarizeWe live in a world of uncertainty, suffering and injustice in which our adversary, the devil, seeks to undermine our faith in God. Coupled with our own frailties and impatience in a fast-paced world, we are often tempted to waver and lose heart. Just as stakes support weak plants against threats of the wind, rain and the weight of plants' own growth until they reach full potential, James invites us to stake our hearts patiently in the Lord. This is a call to anchor our hearts firmly in God and His promises. With the all-knowing and sufficient God becoming our trust and resting place, God uses all things, including suffering, waiting and inconveniences, to prepare and transform us into His image, advancing His Kingdom as we look forward to His glorious return.

Transcribe →James 5:1-6 - Polluted!
3w ago00:19:37Tap to summarizeIn James 5:1-6, we see one of the harshest warnings in the whole of the New Testament as James warns the early church against a love of money. James exposes three ways wealth can corrupt us: polluted treasures (trusting in temporary riches), polluted relationships (exploiting others for financial gain), and polluted hearts (allowing greed to harden us towards God and people).

Transcribe →Training to the Trellis
4w ago00:24:52Tap to summarizeCertain plants must be trained to a trellis to direct their growth. This passage teaches us to be "trained" to three trellises in our Christian walk: a gracious heart, a trusting heart, and a humble heart.Passage: James 4:11-17Series: JamesSpeaker: Sam NealDate: 06/21/2026
Transcribe →Sunlight
Jun 1500:24:28Tap to summarizeHow does James help us to be “all in Christians”? Passage: James 4:1-10Series: JamesSpeaker: Bekah AtkinsDate: 06/07/26
Transcribe →Soil Improver: Wisdom that enriches your life
Jun 200:24:27Tap to summarizeJames tells us that there are two types of wisdom: one will enrich your life while the other breeds chaos and lies. How can we tell them apart and what can we do to weave godly wisdom into our everyday lives?Passage: James 3:13-18, Proverbs 2:6-11Series: JamesSpeakers: Claire WongDate: 05/31/26
Transcribe →Taming the Tongue
Jun 100:30:02Tap to summarizeIn this sermon we consider how the tongue is hugely powerful, is plumbed into our hearts, and by God's grace, and with the transformative help of the Holy Spirit, can be tamed!Passage: James 3:1-12Series: JamesSpeaker: Adrian HideDate: 05/24/26
Transcribe →Unfurling Leaves
Jun 100:34:13Tap to summarizeJames begins with a mistake people were making and still make – thinking that just believing in God is the same as real living faith. Real living faith changes lives. This real living faith is meant to grow by looking up and doing, looking around and doing and looking in and doing.Passage: James 2:14-26Series: JamesSpeaker: Rich ColbrookDate: 05/17/2026
Transcribe →In a Pot Together
May 1800:23:49Tap to summarizeJames 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: AbbyDate: 05.03.26
