The Real Christmas (Mike Shuter)

In The Real Christmas, Mike takes us beyond the seasonal noise to rediscover the historical, prophetic, and life-changing truth at the heart of Christmas. Drawing from the nativity account in Luke 1–2 and the astonishing number of Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in Jesus, he shows why the story of a virgin birth, visiting shepherds, and searching wise men is far more than myth or tradition—it’s evidence that God Himself has entered human history. Mike explains why the Christian message stands up to scrutiny, why Jesus is the long-promised Messiah, and how every one of us is invited to respond.

The Miracle of Christmas (Benj Lyon)

In our Christmas message from Leamington Spa, The Miracle of Christmas, Benj explores why Christmas is a season that awakens our longing for miracles - and shows us the greatest miracle of all. Through stories, and Scripture from Luke 1, he reflects on everyday miracles, the wonder of childbirth, and the astonishing births of both John the Baptist and Jesus. Benj highlights the angel Gabriel’s declaration that “nothing…is impossible with God,” revealing that beyond snow-day coincidences or heart-warming movie moments, the true miracle of Christmas is that Jesus (God with us) came so we could be born again into new life.

Pursuing Presence (Sharon Chapman)

In this message, Sharon traces the extraordinary journey of Moses through Exodus 3, 33 & 34, showing what it means to be a people who refuse to go any further without the presence of God. Through Moses’ hunger for intimacy, his bold “If your presence does not go with us, do not send us,” and his persistent cry to see God’s glory, Sharon unpacks a powerful call to seek purity, prayer, and perseverance in our own lives. She shares her personal testimony of being baptised in the Holy Spirit, encourages us to pitch our own “tent of meeting,” and paints a beautiful picture of God’s people preparing a dwelling place for Him with joyful overflow—just as Israel did in the building of the tabernacle. A stirring and faith-filled message inviting us to pursue God’s presence personally and corporately.

Light from Heaven (Hilary Dalziel)

In Light from Heaven, Hilary Dalziel takes us into Luke 1 to explore the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth—ordinary, faithful people whom God chooses to use in extraordinary ways. Through angelic encounters, long-awaited answers to prayer, and prophetic revelation, Hilary shows how God brings light into places of disappointment, delay, and unbelief. Zechariah’s journey from doubt to Spirit-filled praise reveals a God who is gracious, who hears our deepest prayers, and who prepares the way for His salvation in Jesus, the “morning light from heaven” that breaks into our darkness and leads us in the path of peace. A hope-filled, faith-building message for all who are learning to trust God’s perfect timing.

Build: Discipleship (Bolade Onilari)

In this message, Bolade explores what it truly means to follow Jesus, drawing on scriptures such as the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), John 8:31, and Luke 9:23–26. Bolade highlights that discipleship is a lifelong journey of abiding in the Word, imitating Christ, embracing community, learning from one another, and submitting to the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Using biblical examples from both Testaments - Moses and Joshua, Elijah and Elisha, Paul and Timothy - he shows that discipleship is relational, costly, and deeply rewarding, producing righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
