In this gathering, we hear from Emma that sometimes the greatest act of faith isn't doing something new — it's simply obeying Jesus enough to go again.

Drawing from three moments in Peter's story, Emma takes us from the shoreline of Luke 5, where an exhausted fisherman hears Jesus say "try again," through to the devastating courtyard denial, and finally to one of the most quietly beautiful restoration scenes in all of Scripture — breakfast on the beach in John 21.

We're reminded that returning to our old boats doesn't mean we've lost our faith; it often just means we don't know what to do with our failure. And yet Jesus doesn't wait for us to find him — he shows up at dawn, standing on the shore, already cooking breakfast, already ready to restore.

The challenge Emma leaves us with is honest and practical: identify the area of your life where you've stopped casting your net, stand up, and go again — his way, not yours.

Offence is something every person alive has experienced — and most of us are carrying more of it than we realise. In this message, Sarah Pearce gets honest about the baited trap of offence, what's really driving it, and why the Holy Spirit is the only force strong enough to set us free from it.

Sarah unpacks the Greek root of the word offence — a baited trap — and walks us through how entitlement, misplaced identity, and past wounds are often the real engines behind the resentment we carry.

We look at biblical examples of offence handled badly and handled well, from Absalom's silence to the Syrophoenician woman's refusal to be derailed. The invitation at the end of this message is simple and real: let the Holy Spirit in, release forgiveness, and walk out of the trap today — freer than you walked in.

In this gathering, we hear from Joseph that being part of the church isn't just about showing up — it's about being genuinely prepared for what God has called us to.

Drawing from the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25, Joseph unpacks the sobering reality that all ten were invited:All ten knew the assignment, but only five actually prepared for it.

Using a brilliant real-life story of getting locked out of the Harvest Crusade because he had no shoes, Joseph brings the parable home in a way that's hard to shake — expectation without preparation doesn't get you through the door.

The challenge to us is clear: The door is still open, the time to prepare is now, and that preparation starts with a real, active, on-fire relationship with God — not just the words we sing on a Sunday.
