Fancy going a little deeper? Join Nick for an extended edition of Extra Slice as we continue our journey through the book of Acts.

Picking up on Keith and Carmen's Sunday sermons, Nick explores the remarkable growth of the early Church, the importance of Antioch and the wonderful example of Barnabas – a man whose encouragement helped others find the courage to step out in faith.

Along the way, Nick digs into some fascinating questions. What does biblical prophecy really mean? How do encouragement and teaching work together? And why does God sometimes rescue people from suffering while others, equally faithful, face tragedy?

From the spread of the Gospel to Peter's miraculous escape from prison, there's plenty to explore, reflect on and perhaps even wrestle with.

So settle down with a cuppa and join Nick for a longer Extra Slice!

Short on time? There's also a 7-minute Home Group edition available, with questions for discussion and personal reflection.

In this week's sermon, Keith Powell explores Acts 11:19–26 and Acts 13:1–3, looking at the extraordinary growth of the early Church, the power of the Holy Spirit and the inspiring example of Barnabas – the 'Son of Encouragement'.

Keith reminds us that we don't need to be extraordinary people to make a difference. God calls each of us to share His love, encourage others and be willing to follow wherever He leads.

With stories from our Big Weekend, a few laughs and some thought-provoking challenges, Keith asks a simple but powerful question:

Who might God be asking you to encourage today?

This week on Extra Slice, Nick continues our journey through Acts, digging deeper into Acts 10 and the extraordinary story of Peter and Cornelius.

What happens when God asks us to cross boundaries that feel deeply ingrained? Nick explores Peter’s vision, the cultural barriers between Jews and Gentiles, and the moment Peter begins to grasp just how wide the good news of Jesus really is.

We also think about those who might believe, pray or have a sense of God but remain on the edges of church life; what it means to shape our everyday lives around our Christian identity; and why Peter’s declaration that “God shows no partiality” is such a significant moment.

And ultimately, it comes back to the heart of the gospel: Jesus is Lord.

If Jesus really is Lord of all, what does that mean for the way we spend our time, our money and our energy — and the way we live the life God has given us?

What happens when God starts breaking down the boundaries of who we think belongs?

In Acts 10, Peter finds himself in the home of Cornelius — a Roman centurion and someone he would never have expected to be part of God’s story.

But the message is clear: God has no favourites.

This week, Nick explores a story of unexpected welcome, the movement of the Holy Spirit, and a Gospel that reaches beyond the people and places we might expect.

Wherever you’ve come from, wherever you’ve been, whatever you’ve done — there is a place for you.

Paul’s encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus is one of the most dramatic stories in the Bible — but is it really the model for how everyone becomes a Christian?

In this week’s Extra Slice, Nick digs deeper into Acts 9, exploring Paul’s calling, the often-misunderstood Saul/Paul name change, what it means to be truly connected to Christ, and the wonderfully simple faithfulness of Ananias.

Not everyone has a dramatic “Damascus Road” moment — and that doesn’t make anyone a second-class Christian. Sometimes faith grows through years of faithful people praying, encouraging, teaching and simply being there.

Perhaps our calling isn’t to manufacture dramatic encounters with God, but simply to be ready to say: “I’ll go where you lead me, Lord.”

Saul sets out for Damascus determined to arrest followers of Jesus. But an encounter on the road changes everything.

In this week’s Sunday Sermon from Acts 9, Rob explores Saul’s extraordinary transformation, the courage of Ananias, and those two remarkable words: “Brother Saul.”

What really defines us — our past, our successes, our failures, what other people think of us… or who Jesus says we are?

As we celebrate Harvest, we’re reminded that grace, identity and belonging aren’t things we achieve. They are gifts we receive.
