God’s House is built with Living Stones (1 Pe 2:5), each carefully selected and put in place by the Holy Spirit. In Part 1 we consider how the Holy Spirit shapes each stone - that great work of the Spirit in the Sanctification of believers, shaping us into the likeness of Christ (Ro 8:29). We’ll also discuss how our new birth into God’s kingdom, restores God’s original design for His tripartite humanity, by which our spirits are promoted to the driving seat of our lives (the proper seat for righteous decision making!). Through His work of Sanctification, the Spirit helps us to bring our souls and bodies into line with God’s restored special arrangement within us (Ro 12:1-2). In Part 2 we’ll consider what unique aspects of ourselves are preserved, in the process of the Spirit making us more like Jesus, and how they might diversely and richly display God’s glory.

Knowledge & Understanding

God wants us to receive revelation! In fact the word says that He wants us to be continually receiving revelation. To understand the great mysteries of the word, to be empowered and to ultimately become more and more like Him. This morning we look at 5 keys and challenges to attain this goal here are the Five Challenges - that will develop revelation! People, books, experience, observation & thinking and pondering.
This is Us! Pt.4 - The Story of Our Church
August 13, 2023 • David Lyon
In the latest instalment of our THIS IS US series, we take a look at the history of our church over the years. We highlight important moments and events along the way that have shaped our vision and values, helped us establish our foundations, and taken us from two small house groups to a thriving apostolic base and family of churches in the UK and overseas. In it all we honour God for His goodness and faithfulness to everyone who’s been part of our story.
The Cornerstone
August 6, 2023 • Benj Lyon • Ephesians 2:19–22
Towards the end of Ephesians 2 we read some familiar verses that describe Jesus as the cornerstone. In this message we unpack what this means and go through verses 19-22 phrase-by-phrase. We see how Jesus the Cornerstone is placed at the very centre of both the church and our lives individually, providing a strong and stable foundation that everything else can line up to.
