The Book of James: Part 9 - Warnings to the Rich

Lauren opens James 5:1-6 and doesn't soften it — wealth left to rot while workers go underpaid isn't just bad stewardship, it's an offence to a God who hears every unfair wage. From there she turns rebuke into invitation: what does it look like to hold money the way God does? Looking at the early church's generosity in Acts 4, she challenges us to be conduits rather than reservoirs — open-handed rather than hoarding, since what's invested in God's kingdom never rusts or rots. The message closes with a heart check: who do you lift up as you rise, and are you willing to give until it costs you something? Recorded: 05/07/2026 Speaker: Lauren Hart

The Book of James: Part 8 - Planning with God

In this episode, Ciaran looks at James 4:13-17 and what it means to live with God's will in mind. We so often make our plans first and invite God into them afterwards, forgetting how brief and uncertain our lives really are. Drawing on Proverbs 16 and Paul's habit of saying "if the Lord wills", Ciaran reminds us that God wants us to make plans — He simply wants to be part of them. The message also offers practical help for discerning God's will: testing it against Scripture, seeking wise counsel, looking for God's peace, and paying attention to the circumstances around us. Following God's plan isn't always comfortable, and it may cost us things we'd rather keep. But God never asks us to do anything He won't equip us for, and He always makes His plans with us in mind.

The Book of James: Part 7 - Dangers of Wordliness

Join us as Sam brings us a message from James 4, we’re reminded that following Jesus means surrendering our lives, desires, and plans to Him. This passage confronts the lies of the world—chasing money, seeking approval, and pursuing our own truth—and points us back to the freedom, grace, and joy found in Christ. Most importantly, we’re reminded that no matter how far we’ve fallen, God offers us more grace, new mercy, and an invitation to draw near to Him. Recorded: 21/06/2026 Speaker: Sam Twine

The Book of James: Part 6 - Two Kinds of Wisdom

Joshua explores our next section of James and the contrast between earthly wisdom and wisdom that comes from God. This passage challenges us to consider what our lives reveal about the wisdom we are following, reminding us that true wisdom is demonstrated not simply through knowledge or words, but through our actions and character. This message encourages us to examine our motives and ask whether the way we live reflects God's wisdom or the values of the world. Recorded: 14/06/2026 Speaker: Joshua Twine

The Book of James: Part 5 - Taming the Tongue

In this episode, Joel speaks about power of the tongue, and how our words can have a much greater impact than we realise. The message challenges us to think carefully about what we say, recognising that words can either hurt and tear people down or bring encouragement, healing and life. Using practical examples, the Joel looks at how our words should reflect our faith, particularly when we are teaching, leading or influencing others. We are encouraged to pause before speaking and ask whether our words are true, helpful, necessary and kind. Recorded: 31/05/2026 Speaker: Joel Newall

The Book of James: Part 4 - The Sin of Favoritism

In this episode, Brody speaks to us about the sin of favouritism and how we view others. This part of the book of James challenges us not to judge people by their appearance, wealth, or status, but to see them as God sees them—with love and compassion. The message encourages us to humble ourselves, love others as Christ does, and build meaningful relationships that help us grow in faith. Ultimately, it asks us to look beyond what is on the outside and see the heart of those around us. Recorded: 17/05/2026 Speaker: Brody Ramsden

The Book of James: Part 3 - Hearing and Doing the Word

This episode Lauren continues the series exploring James, focusing on the importance of putting God’s Word into action. We’re challenged to listen carefully, control our words, resist gossip and anger, and show genuine faith through how we treat others. James reminds us that hearing the Word isn’t enough—it should transform the way we live. True faith is seen through compassion, kindness, self-control and a willingness to live differently from the world around us. Recorded: 10/05/2026 Speaker: Lauren Hart

The Book of James: Part 2 - Temptation and the Nature of Sin

Continuing our journey through James, this episode explores temptation, where it comes from, and how we can learn to overcome it. Temptation often reveals deeper desires, struggles or areas where we are being pulled away from what God has called us to do. Brody explores how, by recognising the roots of our temptations, we can bring them to God, seek His wisdom and establish healthy boundaries and accountability. The message reminds us that stumbling does not mean failure—God is present in both our victories and our struggles, helping us grow closer to Him. Recorded: 26/04/2026 Speaker: Brody Ramsden

The Book of James: Part 1 - Faith in the middle of trials

Sam begins our new series in James by exploring why God allows us to face trials. Trials test and strengthen our faith, producing perseverance, maturity and a deeper dependence on Jesus. Through the stories of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Peter and Thomas, we see that whether we pass or fail, God can use every trial to grow, restore and transform us. His promises remain, even when we fall short. The invitation is simple: don’t walk through trials alone. Trust Jesus, persevere with Him, and allow Him to use every season to make you more like Him.

Season 2

Barriers to Faith - Sex

Join us for the final installment of our "Barriers to Faith" series as Tom explores how Christians can navigate a culture where sex is everywhere while maintaining a healthy, biblical perspective. We will be challenging the culture's three most common misconceptions and how, like many things, it can become a barrier to faith when it takes God's place in our worship or begins to define our identity.
