In this message, Andy Kroussoratsky reflects on our deep desire to control outcomes—especially in seasons of uncertainty—and how fear can quietly push us to take matters into our own hands. Drawing from the story of King Saul and Jesus’ words in Matthew 6, Andy contrasts a life driven by anxiety and control with a life shaped by trust and surrender. While worry tempts us to grasp for certainty, Jesus invites us to seek God’s kingdom first, trusting that He knows our needs and is sovereign over our lives. Rather than striving to manage every detail, we’re called to take faithful steps, release control, and place our confidence in a God who is both loving and faithful. The invitation for this season is simple yet challenging: let it be a summer of surrender.

In this message, Andy Kroussoratsky reflects on Jesus’ words in John 6, where He declares Himself the Bread of Life. After feeding the crowd, Jesus challenges their motives—revealing how easily we come to Him for what He can do, rather than for who He is. Andy invites us to consider the deeper hunger beneath our surface needs and reminds us that true life and lasting satisfaction aren’t found in provision alone, but in believing in and abiding with Jesus Himself.

In this Christmas Day message, Mark Sayers reflects on how the birth of Jesus only makes full sense when we see it stretched across time—rooted in God’s promises of the past and opening toward God’s future for us. Drawing from John’s cosmic vision of Christ as the Word who holds all things together, and Luke’s earthy scene of a baby in a manger, Mark reminds us that Christmas is where eternity enters time, quietly and personally. Jesus doesn’t come as an idea or force, but as a child who dwells with us—present in our joy, our grief, and the unseen moments of our lives. Even when we can’t recognise what God is doing, He is still at work, often hidden and slow. And just as the manger held immense possibility, so too does our future in Christ: God is not finished yet. The good news of Christmas is this—Jesus loves you, He is close to you, He is at work in your life, and His story with you is still unfolding.
