Prayer before plans (Nehemiah 1)

Prayer before plans (Nehemiah 1)

We’ve started a new series on leadership; drawing from the book of Nehemiah. What do we do when troubles come our way? Jono shows us the steps Nehemiah takes and how we can find greater peace and confidence in our heavenly Father when we pray before making plans. Speaker: Jono Simpson Bible reading: Nehemiah 1:1-11

Trouser-pocket evangelism

Today’s message is brought to us by Reverend Sheila Perkins a long standing friend and spiritual mentor to the Simpson household Sheila walks us through Jesus’ commandment to “make disciples of all nations” and how that may not necessarily mean grand missionary journeys to far off countries. Rather we are called to simply make disciples in all areas of our lives, bringing the gospel to everyone we meet. This, as Sheila explains, can be the greatest and most exciting adventure. Speaker: Reverend Sheila Perkins Bible reading: Matthew 28:16-20

How to live a life of impact

On this Pentecost Sunday we remember the moment ordinary people were transformed into a movement that changed the world. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the disciples discovered a new power source for life — one that filled them with courage, joy, generosity and purpose — and the same invitation is still open to us today. Speaker: Lucy Simpson Bible reading: Acts 2:1-21 and 42-47

A church that goes beyond themselves

Today's message is brought to us by Eileen Poore. She takes us through the story of the sending of Paul and Barnabus and their first recorded instance of opposition to the gospel. Eileen lays out for us the three ways that we as the people of God can go beyond ourselves to support mission and the spread of the gospel. Speaker: Eileen Poore Bible reading: Acts 12:25-13:12

A church that serves

Drawing on the Easter story and the early church in Acts, Christine explores how faith isn’t separate from everyday struggles but shapes how we listen, serve, and care for one another. Ultimately, it’s a call to live with child-like faith, growing in unity, honesty, and service as a community transformed by Jesus. Speaker: Christine McCutchion Bible reading: Matthew 18:1-5
