22nd July 2026
22nd July 2026 Resources from Sunday Last Sunday Johnny spoke into the Biblical model of prayer called lament. Lament is a deeply personal, vulnerable and transformational form of prayer that arises in response to our disappointments and heartbreaks. Across a lifetime we each will experience and carry all sorts of hurts, griefs, disappointments and injustices. We will, at times, perhaps even have cause to question God or be angered by what we perceive is unanswered prayers. W

15th July 2026 Organised to Intercede! from Travis How often have you responding to becoming aware of a friend's need by saying "I'll be praying for you"? For most of us, I'd imagine the answer is: quite often! In that moment that commitment to pray is a genuine intention, an expression of our care for the person and an outworking of our belief in the power of prayer... ... and yet, skip forward in time and how easy is it to suddenly realise that we neglected to do so?! Not b

8th July 2026 Prayer as First Response from Travis How are your prayer reflexes going this week since Sunday?? On Sunday I encouraged us to be a "prayer first" people, the type of believer who builds an instinctive response of going to God in prayer. As Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones said, always respond to every impulse to pray. For most of us, such responsive prayer-reflexes will develop over time as we intentionally seek to grow in them. Below are some "When-->Then" triggers to he

1st July 2026 The 'Prince of Preachers' on Prayer from Travis As someone who preaches regularly, I find myself feeling in awe of the preaching ministry of Charles Spurgeon. In 1854, at just 19 years of age he became pastor of the New Park Street Chapel and his preaching was immediately so powerful that a new, much (much!) bigger church building had to be constructed! Thousands upon thousands were drawn to hear God speak through Spurgeon each week, with those sermons then tran

24th June 2026 Space for God to Speak "Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10 "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him" - Psalm 37:7 "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me" - Jesus (John 10:27) We love hearing stories of how people are meaningfully engaging with God in prayer and making space to hear his voice. Recently, Sue Solomons shared a great story from one of our connect groups and we thought it too good not to share! Have a

17th June 2026 Have you considered... Last Sunday, many of us took the opportunity to fill out a "Have You Considered...?" card, naming gifts, strengths, and possibilities we see in someone else. This was more than a simple response after a sermon, it was the chance to live into our values as the people of God. In a world that can be quick to overlook, criticise or compare, we are the church - a place where people are seen, encouraged, affirmed, and called forward. Throughout
