In this conversation, Pastor Adam Smallcombe and fathers from our community discuss their experience as fathers. Given the current climate of injustice that is being fervently fought right now, how do we teach our children accurate history, without causing them to be jaded by our hurts and experiences?

Pastor Adam Smallcombe delivers a message entitled FIX THE FEED, on the INSIGHT of the Holy Spirit. In uncertain times, we might look outside for what will satisfy ourselves. Whether it is our news feed, social media feed, or the food we feed on, we are constantly searching for something more. This is often how we approach the Holy Spirit. As believers, we would be completely missing the mark if we were to get stuck looking for the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, over the application of the Ho...
In the final installment of the FIXED Series, Pastor Keira Smallcombe preached a message called My Faith is FUNCTIONAL. When wondering if our faith is working, Pastor Keira reminds us to keep running laps of faith. For faith only works when we work it out. In response, which testimony do you want? The testimony of one who WATCHES others work their faith and possess their promises? Or the testimony of someone who WORKS their OWN faith, and touches their own promises?”
In the third installment of the FIXED Series, Pastor Adam Smallcombe delivers a powerful word, called My Faith is Firm. It begs the question, what does a firm faith look like? With highs and lows, it can be challenging to see your way through the waves of life. But the series scripture, Hebrews 12:2 advises we "... fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and pioneer of our faith..." And the fact that we have seasons of uncertainty doesn't mean that our faith isn't firm. It's all in how we frame it. Ho...
