Pastor Mark Wiltshire begins this new series by looking at the difference between strength and courage. Strength is the ability to persist. Courage is the ability to start again, to face danger, difficulty or pain despite fear.

Guest speaker Gary Rucci introduces our new series - Strength and Courage. God's ways are always higher to ours. He is looking to shape our perspective towards bigger thoughts and bigger ways. Are you willing to allow God to confront your perspective?

Pastor Mark Wiltshire explores the reasons for the death and resurrection of Jesus and the benefits we receive from now to eternity.

Pastor Mark Wiltshire opens up Easter with a message that exposes the humanity of Jesus and the decisions he made in the week leading to his execution and resurrection. ‘Making a Personal Stand’ considers the journey of intentionality, obedience and visibility that Jesus committed himself to walking in those final few days.

Pastor Mark Wiltshire rounds up this series from the Book of Ruth looking at how Ruth and Boaz were able to rewrite their destiny.

Adam Bird teaches from Ruth 4. Circumstances can be good or bad however our response can always be good. We all have the potential to be our best version, our worst version or any version in between for any given moment. What can we learn from Ruth, Boaz and Naomi about being the best possible version of us no matter what the circumstance.

Deborah Holman brings a great message from Ruth 4: Boaz being a man of integrity positioned himself at the city gate to do what he said he would do. God too, as our kinsman redeemer positioned himself ‎for our salvation and as a result re-positioned us to a place of being seated together with him. Living life from this position will give us a totally different perspective on life.

Pastor Mark Wiltshire teaches from Ruth chapter 3. We can learn so much from the way that Boaz responds to Ruth's request for marriage. Boaz is a man of good character and he knows that within relationships: 1. Integrity attracts 2. Integrity protects 3. Integrity prevails

Adam Bird brings a great message from Ruth chapter 3. Our future needn't be determined by our past choices or present circumstances. We are not entitled to anything but God can redeem our story.

Guest Speaker John Partington brings a great message based around Psalm 91. God makes various promises of things he will do with and for those who love him. An excellent faith building message.

People don't necessarily remember what you say but they always remember how you left them feeling... People respond to kindness. It is not weakness or feminine or about expecting a reward. Naomi recognised that Boaz was a potential 'kinsman redeemer'. God's plan was always to redeem us - our position and our inheritance.

We need to be aware of the source of our provision. God wants us to 'help ourself', recognise His blessings and be 'filled and overflowing'. Like Ruth, we should be obedient to God's word.

It's natural for us to try and move away from a place of discomfort. We would often rather run away than face the issues that we come up against. It is possible to reap in a time of famine (trouble & suffering) - God is waiting for us to come to the place of emptiness (surrender) so that we can move into a time of opportunity.

Everybody wants a better life, right? However, there are so many varied opinions available as to what constitutes a better life and how to get there. In this series, we are studying the book of Ruth and seeing what we can learn from this historical story and finding practical applications for our own life in a modern society.

In order to have a better life we need to get our desires under control, recognise our source of strength and live a determined life.

As we come to the end of 2014 and look forward to the New Year ahead we can be...'confident of this very thing; that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ'

Mary couldn't see what the future held, and had no real idea what the Angel's visit would mean in the long term. However, looking back we can see God's plan unfolding in a wonderful and perfect way and we can be assured that God has a perfect plan for us and trust that everything that happens falls under his will.

Concentrate on the future, not the past. Don't let what has already happened pull you down. Reach into the future and believe that, in God, you have control over your destiny.

God has already given you the ability to accomplish much. You are equipped with gifts and skills you may not be using to their full potential. This message parallels our own journey with that of Moses as he was transformed from a self-exiled shepherd to the speaker/leader for an entire nation.
