What are you living for? In this message, we dive into Philippians 1:12–26, where the Apostle Paul writes from a Roman prison. Instead of complaining about his chains, Paul shows how God uses our hardest seasons and trials to advance the kingdom. Main Verse: Philippians 1:12–26Speaker: Bekka Woodley

This week we begin a brand new teaching series through the book of Philippians called Whatever Happens.Paul writes Philippians from prison, facing uncertainty about what comes next, and yet the letter is filled with joy, hope and confidence in God. Throughout this series, we’ll be looking at what it means to follow Jesus faithfully whatever happens around us and whatever season of life we find ourselves in.In this first message, we look at Philippians 1:1–11. Paul begins by thanking God for the Philippian church and for their partnership in the gospel. He reminds them that the work God has begun in them is not finished, and prays that their love would continue to grow in knowledge, wisdom and discernment.It’s an encouragement to trust that God is still at work in us, to recognise the importance of doing life and faith together, and to keep growing into the people Jesus is calling us to become.Whatever happens, we can have confidence that God has not finished His work.Speaker: Tim HarmsMain Text: Philippians 1:1–11

Joy In The Making

Why is it so easy to lose joy when someone else seems to be doing better than us?In John 3, John the Baptist is confronted with the fact that people are leaving his ministry and going to Jesus instead. It would have been easy for him to become insecure, competitive or resentful. Instead, John responds with remarkable freedom: “He must become greater; I must become less.”This message looks at the danger of comparison, why it has such power over us, and how knowing who we are and what God has called us to can free us from constantly measuring our lives against everyone else.Speaker: Tim HarmsMain Text: John 3

The Thief of Joy

Generosity is an overflow of joy and divine grace, rather than a forced obligation or a heavy burden. True giving, as illustrated by the early Macedonian believers, can thrive even in difficult times when it is fueled by a willing heart that views sharing as a privilege. This radical mindset is anchored in the ultimate model of Jesus Christ, who gave up everything out of love so that others could be enriched. Ultimately, giving flows from a ready and eager heart, focusing on mutual support and helping to meet the needs of others based on what a person realistically has to offer. ﻿Speaker: Tim HarmsMain Text: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15

In this message, Joni takes us through Psalm 16 and the fullness of joy found in God’s presence. David’s words remind us that lasting joy is not found in our circumstances, achievements or possessions, but in knowing God as our refuge, our portion and our hope. Even in uncertainty, we can trust that God is with us, guiding us on the path of life.

We are so thrilled to welcome Sam Poe this morning as he shares a powerful message about navigating stormy seasons and stepping into a greater harvest. Drawing from the story of the early church in Antioch, Sam highlights how God uses cross-cultural connections, diverse communities, and dedicated teams to lay a strong foundation for His kingdom. Just like Antioch, our own cities are beautifully multicultural and deeply in need of the gospel. Join us as we look at how the Holy Spirit builds a diverse family, short-circuits the &#34;superstar syndrome,&#34; and prepares us to be sent out to the nations. We close with a powerful time of prayer, asking God for a fresh outpouring of His rain and revival fire across our communities. Main VerseActs 11:19-32
