Pastor Chris continues our Bible Talks in 20 Minutes series, and as we approach the end, we come to the rich and deeply pastoral letter of 1 John.
In this session, Chris gives an insightful look at the book’s structure—its themes of assurance, love, obedience, and what it truly means to live as children of God.

Today we welcome visiting speaker Andy Turnbull, who continues our series in 1 Samuel with a message titled “Glory to God Alone.”
In chapter 4, we step into one of the most sobering moments in Israel’s history: the loss of the Ark, the defeat at the hands of the Philistines, and the tragic reminder that God’s presence cannot be presumed upon. It is a passage that calls us to humility, reverence, and a deeper trust in the holiness of God.
Andy helps us explore what happens when God’s people rely on symbols instead of obedience, and how—even in moments of apparent defeat—God’s glory remains undiminished.

Today we welcome visiting speaker Lewis Allen, who opens up Psalm 27 with an encouraging word of hope and confidence.
Lewis shows how the psalmist can face fear, uncertainty, and opposition with a steady heart — because his trust is in the Lord. And he reminds us that we too can be confident and committed in our walk with God, knowing that Jesus Himself was a man of prayer, fully dependent on His Father.
Join us as we listen to God’s word and learn what it means to seek the Lord, wait on Him, and stand firm in His strength.

📘 Samuel’s Calling — 1 Samuel 3
Today Pastor Chris Haley brings us a sermon titled “Samuel’s Calling”, drawn from 1 Samuel chapter 3.
In this remarkable moment, God calls the young Samuel three times. Samuel hears the voice… but he doesn’t yet recognise God’s voice. It’s a powerful reminder to us: when God speaks, would we recognise Him?
