As our Shepherd, God leads us along the right paths, so we are living in His will. He also leads us along paths of righteousness to sanctify us and teach us how to live a holy life. God does this for the reputation of His name.
Pastor Yinka brings a powerful word that encourages us to have ‘unreasonable confidence’ in the Lord.

There is a world of difference between helping someone whose body has been broken and someone whose spirit has been broken. In today’s message, Pastor Pete explores three essential ways in which God restores our soul.

Pastor Pete challenges us to be a united, loving and charismatic church too, ready to impact our communities today.
“[T]he Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Pastor Pete’s message today gives us a biblical view of what church leadership is and what it means to be a godly leader.
“[T]he Church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all”. In today’s message, Pastor Pete examines the promises of God that He will build His Church. As followers of Christ, we are not only part of His body, but we also have a part to play in this great plan to build His Church.
The Bible is clear that in the last days, God will pour out His Spirit on all mankind. Pastor Pete’s teaching today unpacks what it means to receive the Holy Spirit.

The Bible tells us that Jesus laid aside His divine privileges to become a servant; He did this to demonstrate His love for us. As followers of Jesus who know His unconditional love, we are called to demonstrate His love too by serving one another.
Jesus loves His church, and to love Jesus is to love His church. Pastor Pete’s message this week is a powerful reminder that how we treat God’s people is how we treat God Himself.
Jesus commands us to love our neighbour as ourselves. Who is our neighbour and how do we love them? Pastor Pete answers these questions by unpacking the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
