One of the core beliefs in Christianity is that we are saved by the grace of God. The Apostle Paul reminds the church in his letter to the Romans that we receive this grace through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. However, we often get to a point in our lives where we try to add our own works and create a form of salvation we are “comfortable” with. Philip Shaw brings a timely reminder this week that it is the same grace that saves us that will sustain us for the race if we keep our trust in God. Listen now!

What do you do when you cannot see God at work in your life? There are moments in our lives where we can feel like there is never any positive change, but when we receive Jesus into our hearts, God is always working beneath the surface to transform us into His image. However, we still need to let go of the things Jesus died to set us free from, so we can fully experience the new life in Christ. Phil Saw brings a timely reminder that there is more to God's work in us than meets the eye!

The word of God gives us clear instructions as to which fights to stand our grounds on, and which to flee, but we often forget to do either of those and try to fight in our own strength. Are you engaged in a fight that God has already won for you? Do you need to refocus your mind so that you can win the fights that you should be fighting? Phil Shaw brings the word of God this week and shows us how to pick (and win!) the right fights. Not to be missed!

The Bible tells us that God has good plans for our lives, but it is easy to forget this in difficult times and start questioning whether God really is in control. However, the truth is that God is always working and even though we may not see it and it does not make sense, we need to trust Him because He cares for us. Phil Shaw opens the word of God this week, and encourages us that we can be confident that what God starts, He will bring to completion!

What takes the place of primary importance in your life? Is it family, career, or relationships? Whilst all these things are good, we need to give God the center of our hearts, because that is the only way He can direct our paths. As we close out 2019, Phil Shaw opens the word of God and reminds us that Jesus is looking for those who are ready to fully yield to Him so He can use them to accomplish His perfect will. Not to be missed!

It has been said that whatever we turn to first in our greatest hour of need is what we truly worship. In the story of the centurion asking Jesus to heal his servant in the book of Luke, we see how he placed his faith in Jesus, and not in his own accomplishments or accolades. Are you building your faith on a solid relationship with Jesus, or your achievements and your own strength? Phil Shaw brings the word of God and challenges us examine the foundations of our faith. Listen now!

Our situations in life can sometimes dictate our expectations of God, but in the book of Isaiah, God invites everyone who has a need to receive freely from His hand. God is a good father, and He knows what we need, but we have to ask, and then believe in His word which never fails in order to receive the fulness of what He desires to work in our lives. Is your heart desperate for God to come into your situation and change it? Phil Shaw brings a timely word!

In Acts 19, the Apostle Paul meets a group of believers who had been baptised, but had never heard of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, we can go through our whole Christian walk not even knowing the power of God that is available to us through His Holy Spirit, but as God’s children, He desires for us all to be filled so we can stand out for Him in this world and showcase His glory. Phil Shaw opens the word in the second part of the ‘Transformed’ series and encourages us to walk in the fulness of the Spirit.

Jesus promised to send His Holy Spirit to be our helper and to empower us to lead transformed lives. However, as we see from the book of Acts, it is only when we are completely surrendered to His will that the Spirit moves in great power within us. Phil Shaw brings the word in the first of the 3-part ‘Transformed’ series and reminds us that a transformed life starts with a mind that is continually being renewed by the Holy Spirit. Listen now!

Forgiveness is at the very heart of the Christian message, yet so many of us struggle to let go when others hurt or abuse us and we can end up allowing bitterness into our hearts. Jesus demonstrated perfect love and forgiveness on the cross and He asks us to do the same, so why do we struggle with this concept? Join us this week as Phil Shaw opens the word and shows us that we can learn to forgive because we have been extravagantly forgiven by Jesus. Listen now!
