Prayer in Every Circumstance // 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Prayer in Every Circumstance // 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Lydia Cruttwell Ever feel like your prayer life has to fit into a rigid, one-size-fits-all box? In this message, we dive into Paul’s famous words in 1 Thessalonians to uncover what it actually means to rejoice, pray, and give thanks continually in our messy, everyday lives. Whether you're a morning person or someone who prays best while chopping onions, discover how to connect with God exactly as you are. Recorded June 14, 2026.

Shameless Audacity // Luke 10-11

What if the key to a deeper relationship with God is simply losing our fear of bothering Him? In this sermon, we look at how the stories of Mary sitting at Jesus' feet and a neighbour banging on a door at midnight invite us to shamelessly seek a God who is already shamelessly pursuing us with the ultimate gift: His Holy Spirit. Recorded June 7, 2026.

Forgiveness - Part 2 - Matthew 18:15-34

In this teaching, we continue in our series on what it actually looks like to walk in the forgiving power of the Holy Spirit, focusing this week on Jesus’ practical blueprint for reconciliation. When we’ve been deeply wronged, the path forward can feel incredibly messy, but his teaching shows us how to navigate that hurt without losing our connection to each other. Join us as we look at how to build a resilient community where restoration isn't just a nice idea, but something we live out every day. Recorded May 31, 2026.

The Holy Spirit: Tragedy and Comedy

Ever feel like you know what to do when it comes to faith, but you have no clue how to actually do it? In this episode, we explore the unexpected joy and "holy laughter" that comes when we finally stop hiding our struggles and receive absurd, life-changing grace by the Holy Spirit. Recorded May 17, 2026.

Forgiveness - Part 1

Continuing our journey through John 20, we dive deep into the transformative intersection of the Holy Spirit’s power and the discipline of forgiveness. This session moves beyond theory to define biblical forgiveness and offers a practical framework for interrogating the emotions that hold us back. Recorded May 10, 2026.

Confession, Repentance and Forgiveness // Genesis 3

We often view our failures through the lens of a "disappointed God," leading us to hide in "locked rooms" of shame and self-protection. This week, we dive into Genesis 3 to discover that God’s response to our sin isn't an angry outburst, but a grieving lament that moves toward us in grace. Join us as we explore how the practice of confession breaks the power of our secrets and invites the Holy Spirit to transform our hiding into healing. Recorded May 3, 2026.

The Resurrected Jesus, The Holy Spirit and Forgiveness

In this week’s teaching, we return to John 20:19-23, where we find the disciples hiding in fear after Jesus’ crucifixion. The resurrected Jesus appears and breathes out the Holy Spirit, but in a surprising move, it’s not with the intention of making all of our dreams come true. Instead, the passage suggests the Holy Spirit empowers us to do the one thing our culture finds nearly impossible: to release others from their debts. In a city where cancel culture and ghosting are the default settings for hurt, Jesus invites us to forgive, to liberate, or simply to leave the room of resentment we’ve so carefully constructed. Re-recorded April 28, 2026.

Encountering the Risen Jesus // John 20:19-22

This week, as we transition into the season of Pentecost, we encounter the disciples barricaded in a locked room of fear, grief, and failure. But then Jesus shows up preaching peace and the good news that locked doors are no obstacle to the Risen Christ who enters our mess, shows us his scars, and offers us 'Divine CPR' through the Holy Spirit. Whether you are ready to rejoice or you’re just barely ready to let Him in, join us as we learn what it means to finally stop holding our breath and receive the exhale of God’s grace. Recorded April 19, 2026.

Turning the Beatitudes into Common Sense // Matthew 5:1-11

We often live by a "common sense" that prioritizes self-protection and accumulation, but in the Beatitudes, Jesus invites us into a radical vision of flourishing where the poor, the mourning, and the persecuted are truly blessed. In this message, we explore why moving from vision to reality is so difficult and how we can begin to unlearn the "empire in our bones." Discover how new heroes, intentional community, and ancient practices can help us build our lives on the rock of the Beatitudes. Recorded April 12, 2026.

The Invitations of Easter Weekend: Lament and Hope // Matthew 27-28

In this message, we explore the Easter narrative in the Gospel of Matthew, looking at how the death and resurrection of Jesus into two essential movements: Lament and Hope. The Cross forces us to face the darkness of our world and our own "Empire" tendencies—the ways we prioritize power over vulnerability. Through the practice of lament, we name the violence, the housing crisis, and our personal shortcomings as "not the way it's supposed to be." But the Resurrection ensures that the darkness doesn't get the last word. It is the "down payment" on a new creation where heaven and earth are reunited. Recorded April 5, 2026.
