An Example To Follow (Phil Chapman)

An Example To Follow (Phil Chapman)

In this message, Phil explores the profound moment when Jesus, fully aware of his divine authority and identity, humbles himself to wash his disciples' feet at the Last Supper (John 13:1-17). Through this intimate encounter, Phil reveals that Jesus' action demonstrates two powerful truths: a spiritual washing away of sin through the cross, and a practical example of servant-hearted love that Jesus calls his followers to imitate. As you listen, consider: Do I truly know who I am in Christ, and am I willing to follow Jesus' example of humble service to others, trusting in God's promise to bless those who love and serve one another?

The One With The Storm (Benj Lyon)

In this second instalment of Seaside Stories, Benj explores the moment Jesus calms a fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee (Mark 4:35-41), where experienced fishermen find themselves terrified, convinced they're going to drown—until Jesus speaks and everything becomes still. Through this encounter, Benj reveals two essential questions that sustain us when life's storms shake us: Who is Jesus to me in this moment, and what has he said to me? As you listen, be encouraged that Jesus doesn't promise to remove all trouble from our lives, but he promises to be present with us in it, bringing order to chaos and peace that transcends our circumstances.

Restored Not Condemned (Ovi Vlaicu)

In this message, Ovi traces Simon Peter's remarkable journey with Jesus across three pivotal encounters—from the miraculous catch of fish in Luke 5, through Peter's devastating denial in Matthew 26, to his restoration by the sea in John 21—revealing that Jesus meets us not with condemnation but with restoration. Through the profound question "Do you love me?" asked three times over Peter's three denials, Ovi shows how Jesus breaks through our shame, fear, and feelings of unworthiness to call us back to purpose and belonging. As you listen, know that no matter how badly you've failed or how far you've wandered, Jesus is asking you the same question today: if you say yes, your story is not over—restoration is waiting.

The One Who Already Knows (Richard Pemberton)

In this message, Richard unpacks the often-overlooked story in Matthew 17 where Peter encounters Jesus over a simple tax question, and discovers that Jesus is just as glorious in ordinary conversations as he is on the mountain. Through the miracle of the coin in the fish, Richard reveals that Jesus already knows what we're worried about before we ask, sees opportunities where we see problems, and has already provided what we need before we even recognise the need exists. As you listen, be encouraged that the things occupying your thoughts this week have not caught Jesus off guard—he is already at work, already aware, and already providing.

Jesus and the Pharisees (Hilary Dalziel)

In this message, Hilary tackles Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees in Luke 11, where he exposes their hypocrisy—clean on the outside but filthy within, focused on outward rules whilst neglecting the condition of their hearts. With grace and truth, Jesus challenges them directly, not to condemn but to set them free, and warns his disciples (and us) that the same seeds of hypocrisy can creep into our own hearts if we're not careful. As you listen, ask yourself: How does my Monday life compare to my Sunday life, and am I willing to let Jesus expose what's hidden in my heart so that I can experience his forgiveness, grace, and transformation?
