Daily Bread

January 4, 2026 • Christopher Alton

In this message, Christopher Alton calls the church to begin the new year by establishing a healthy, life-giving rhythm of daily dependence on God. Teaching from Matthew 6:9–13, John 6:47–51, Luke 22:19–20, and Ephesians 4:32, Christopher explores the deep spiritual meaning of Jesus as the bread of heaven and the power of the covenant meal—bread and wine—as a proclamation of Christ’s death, resurrection, forgiveness, and freedom. With pastoral depth and clarity, he challenges listeners to draw daily sustenance from Christ alone, to live free from condemnation and unforgiveness, and to offer their whole lives fully to Jesus. This is a foundational message inviting us to feed on God’s Word, walk in forgiveness, and live each day sustained by the life of Christ

Ready, Steady, Go

January 4, 2026 • Hilary Dalziel

In Ready, Steady, Go, Hilary opens the new year with a faith-filled call to listen, trust, and respond to God’s leading. Drawing from the journey of the wise men and the flight to Egypt in Matthew 2:11–15, alongside wisdom from Proverbs 4:26, 1 Timothy 4:15–16, and the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20, Hilary challenges us to be a people who are ready to hear God’s voice, steady in prayer, Scripture, and community, and willing to go wherever He leads. Through biblical insight, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, this message invites us to embrace change, heed God’s warnings, and step courageously into a year of spiritual growth, obedience, and mission—trusting God both in the waiting and in the going.

Make The Most of The Time

January 4, 2026 • Ovi Vlaicu

In this message, Ovi opens the new year with a timely and practical challenge to live wisely and intentionally as followers of Jesus. Teaching from Ephesians 5:15–21, Ovi reminds us that while life is filled with distractions and difficulties, we are called to walk wisely, redeem the time, and live under the leading of the Holy Spirit. Reflecting on God’s faithfulness in the past year and casting vision for the year ahead, this message encourages believers to prioritise their relationship with God, resist patterns that lead to reckless living, cultivate gratitude, and shape daily life around worship, thankfulness, and obedience.

The Greatest Gift

December 21, 2025 • Phil Chapman

In The Greatest Gift, Phil reflects on the meaning of Christmas through the lens of giving, showing that the greatest gift ever offered was not something wrapped under a tree, but God giving Himself in the person of Jesus. Drawing on John 3:16–21 and Jesus’ own words in John 12:44–47, Phil explains how Jesus came as light into a dark world—not to condemn, but to save. Phil invites us to consider the true purpose of Christmas: receiving God’s gift of forgiveness, new life, and lasting hope by choosing Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

The Miracle of Small Beginnings

December 14, 2025 • Ovi Vlaicu

In this message, Ovi explores how God delights in starting extraordinary works through ordinary, humble beginnings. Rooted in the Christmas story, Ovi draws from Micah 5:2, Luke 2, and Zechariah 4:10 to show how God chose a small town, a simple manger, and overlooked shepherds to bring salvation to the world. With warmth, faith, and practical encouragement, this message reminds us that God is not limited by small places, modest resources, or quiet faith. Instead, He uses what we offer—however small—to bring about powerful transformation. This is a hope-filled message inviting us to trust God with the small beginnings in our own lives and believe that He is still working miracles today.

The Miracle of Christmas

December 14, 2025 • William Lyon

In The Miracle of Christmas, William explores the many miracles woven through the Christmas story and shows how they all point to one life-changing truth: nothing is impossible with God. Drawing from Luke 1–2, the prophecies of Isaiah and Micah, and the angel Gabriel’s declaration to Mary, William traces how God orchestrated centuries of promise, prophecy, and divine intervention to bring Jesus—the Saviour—into the world. Through personal testimony and a powerful modern story of transformation, he reveals that Christmas is not just about a miraculous birth long ago, but about the miracle God wants to do in us today: forgiveness, new life, and eternal hope through faith in Jesus Christ.

Light in the Darkness

December 14, 2025 • Pete Stirrup

In Light in the Darkness, Pete Stirrup traces the powerful biblical theme of light from Genesis 1 to Revelation 21, showing how God’s light shines into a broken world and can never be overcome by darkness. Drawing on prophecies from Isaiah 7 & 9, the words of Jesus in Matthew 5 and John 8, and reflections from John 1 and 1 John, Pete unpacks how Jesus is the light of the world—bringing hope, forgiveness, and direction into places of fear, pain, and uncertainty. He reminds us that those who follow Christ now carry that same light, called to shine it through love, community, and compassion.

The Real Christmas

December 7, 2025 • 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

December 7, 2025 • Benj Lyon • Luke 1

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

November 30, 2025 • Sharon Chapman • Exodus 3, Exodus 33—34

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

November 30, 2025 • 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

November 30, 2025 • 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.

The Spirit & Me (Pt 5) - My Catalyst

November 23, 2025 • Christopher Alton

In this final message, we explore the Holy Spirit as the catalyst of our lives—the One who alone brings healthy, lasting change. Though life shifts and sin distorts, the Spirit convicts, frees, and reshapes us from within, producing what our willpower never could. And His work in us inevitably overflows through us: transformed people become instruments of transformation in God’s wider purposes. So, the question remains—are we waiting for things around us to change, or will we surrender to God’s grace, His empowering presence for true change?

Extraordinary Gifts

November 23, 2025 • Mike Shuter

In this message Mike teaches from 1 Corinthians 12 to help us understand the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit and how God manifests His power through His people for the good of the church and the impact of the world. Walking through the nine gifts (wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, prophecy, discernment, tongues, and interpretation) Mike explains what each one looks like in practice, why they’re given, and how they all point unmistakably to Jesus. With real-life examples, clear biblical teaching, and a call to “eagerly desire” these gifts, this message stirs faith for a Spirit-filled church that moves in love, power, and bold witness.
