'We must face reality, but not get stuck in it'

Adam takes us back to the new years word from 2021, and how we must return to the root of what it means to rest...

Maybe God cares more that we make space to create with Him, than what we actually create...

'The whole point of the cross was that you were always welcomed home, and the door to love would always be open.'

What do you need in a dark, tight space? 'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path'

"In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength." - Isaiah 30:15

Adam begins with a huge thank you for our journey as a family, and then leads us to a key question about the position of our hands and hearts...

'I am not worthy to be called your son' - can you relate? Anca reminds us that no matter how we feel, His arms are always our true home.

'Maybe our definition or repentance needs adjusting. Maybe it simply means to come back home. Back to our original position in the arms of the Father.'

Paul shares on Ahab and Elijah, and a book from 2001 that directed a church through the pandemic 20 years later. Samantha and Anne follow with testimonies of transformation and a prompt from God.

Recovery or rest? They're not the same thing. Choose your 'hard'.

A host of our church family share the reality and importance of carrying what we carry to the nations we transform through heart and spirit. Paul has been sowing his life into these relationships and nations for 30 years, and will continue to do so. We are invited to continue too! Note: We are aware the translation for Cristiana's 5 minute video is missing and we will resolve this if possible.

Repentance is about allowing yourself to be FOUND

Can you accept that you're accepted?

Truth and Paradox. Anca digs down to the questions behind our quandaries when our thoughts and feelings fight each other...

The BIG key we miss in the parable of the bridesmaids...

A wedding album, a ticket office, and £1 million buried in your back garden. What does it mean to be saved, and what doesn't it mean?

Ever had two battling thoughts or feelings, and you don't know which one is right, and which is wrong? Opposite, polarised, paradox. What if there's a way to find peace in BOTH. What if we can have the storm AND sleep?

A place beyond earning, deserving, rewarding... Do we often leave home?

He has moved in to your house. Have you unpacked?
