Following Jesus isn’t always easy – and Jesus never said it would be. In this message, John explores how the Holy Spirit is our Advocate: the one who empowers us to tell the story of Jesus, and stands with us when that story is costly. Drawing from John 15–16, we’re reminded that we are never alone – God is with us and for us, even in the storm.

What we do from Monday to Saturday matters deeply to God. In this message, John explores how the Spirit empowers us in our daily lives — not just in church, but in school, at work, and at home. Looking at Exodus 31, Genesis 12 and Colossians 3, we’re invited to see our everyday activity as a place where God works in us, through us, and is blessed by us.

Looking at Galatians 5:16–25, John invites us to consider who is at the controls of our lives — the desires of the flesh or the desires of the Spirit — and how we can walk in step with the one who leads us into Christlikeness.

As we continue our series on the Holy Spirit, Steve explores how the Spirit brings new birth and salvation. Looking at Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus in John 3:1–8, we’re reminded that it’s only by God’s Spirit that we are born again — invited into his Kingdom, and into a life shaped by his presence and power.

As we celebrate Pentecost, John explores how the Spirit is God’s empowering presence with us: power to live for Jesus, and presence so we’re never alone. Reflecting on Acts 2:1-21, this message unpacks what it means for the church today to be filled with the Spirit.
