We are honoured to welcome back guest speaker Rob Reimer, who took us into Psalm 63 to explore one of the great rhythms of the Christian life: the theology of process and the theology of encounter. Drawing from David's raw, thirsty pursuit of God in the wilderness, Rob unpacks the three places we meet God on the journey: in the valleys when life breaks us, on the mountaintops when an ordinary day suddenly becomes extraordinary, and in the wilderness when we deliberately set aside space to be alone with Him. Rob calls us to posture ourselves for encounter through passionate pursuit, sacrifice, and remembering who God is. A timely reminder that we keep showing up because one day, God shows up, and everything changes.

Daniel Murton opens Luke 10 to remind us that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few, and to ask whether we actually believe it. Sharing the story of an 18-year-old version of himself belting out "Send Me, I Will Go" in a beat-up Mitsubishi, Daniel unpacks both the why of being sent by Jesus, his call and the practical how: where are you being sent, who to, what with, and who with?

In the final message of our series A Sent People, Mark Sayers turns to Acts 2 and Jesus' staggering promise in John 14:12 that we will do "greater things than these." Drawing on the remarkable story of the Mongolian church, which grew from almost zero believers to over 100,000 through ordinary people under immense pressure. Through three invitations, Mark invites us to recognise that we are living in a moment of unusual openness, and calls us to remember that when ordinary people trust an extraordinary God, the Spirit moves.

On Pentecost Sunday, Mark Sayers brings our series A Sent People to its turning point in Acts 2, the moment the Spirit is poured out and the church is born. But before he unpacks the violent wind and the tongues of fire, Mark takes us back to Peter, who followed at a distance, who denied Jesus around the fire, who wept bitterly. What closes the gap between that broken man and the bold preacher who stands up on Pentecost? Preparation. Mark reminds us that God is always pouring out His Spirit; the real question is what kind of soil He's landing on.

As we approach Pentecost, Mark takes us into Acts 2 to explore one of the great preconditions for the Spirit being poured out, that He falls not on isolated individuals, but on a people gathered together. Drawing a line from the ancient heresy of Gnosticism to the modern, Oprah-flavoured "religion without a name," Mark exposes the enemy's long-running strategy to atomise the church into disconnected spiritual individuals, each chasing a private Pentecost. But the gospel moves in the opposite direction: Jesus descends into flesh, dwells among us, and pours His Spirit onto a community.

Continuing our series A Sent People, Trudi Sayers opens up Acts 2:33 and Philippians 2 to explore the two sides of being "poured out" — the Spirit Jesus pours into us, and the lives we then pour out for others. Trudi reminds us that Jesus did not consider equality with God something to cling to, but took on the very nature of a servant — and calls us to do the same. The good news? God pours His Spirit onto poured-out people. Trudi invites us to bring the fragments of our lives, our weakness, our brokenness, and our yes to the altar — trusting that Christ will make something beautiful out of what we surrender.

Continuing our series A Sent People, Ryan opens up Acts 10 and 11, the moment Peter is jolted out of his comfort zone by a strange vision and an even stranger invitation to walk into a Gentile's home. Through Peter's story, Ryan unpacks five temptations that keep us from saying yes to God: not caring enough, feeling unequipped, fearing being the first one, losing sight of our purpose, and resisting change. Being sent, he reminds us, is never past tense — it's the ongoing posture of God's people. Whether God is stirring something new in you personally or in us as a community, the invitation is the same: Will we be courageous, pliable, and willing to pray, "send me, I'll go"?

In our series, A Sent People, Mark continues in the book of Acts to remind us that purpose alone isn't enough — vision animates us, but perseverance is what carries us. Facing corruption, persecution, and distraction, the early church kept moving, and God turned every obstacle into growth. Drawing from Acts 5 and 6, and sharing a deeply personal story from the early days of Red Church, Mark invites us into a different kind of time — one where suffering is redeemed, weakness becomes strength, and faithful, ordinary steps shape a future we can't yet see.
