In today's talk, Julian unpacks the story of Nehemiah to explore how God uses burdens, prayer, and passion to spark action.

We all have things that happen in our lives that shape us. The most difficult aspects can define us if we're not careful, but in meeting Jesus, we see that our past is not our destiny. We can be shaped by it, informed by it and learn from it, but we need to be defined by what Jesus has done for us.By Julian Arnold

Hannah shares how Ezra 10 isn't the triumphant ending that we may anticipate once God's people had rebuilt the temple. Disappointment and pain followed. How can we learn from Ezra how to approach disappointment in our own lives?By Hannah Miles

Have you ever wondered what the way to God might be? This week, Libby explores how we might find the way to God.

"Calling is a lifetime of surrender in every stage, and every season." At the Vineyard Leaders’ Gathering 2025, James Rankine explored the nature of calling as a journey of faith, surrender, and courage - not a destination to reach, but a present and ongoing invitation from God.

In Ezra 6, the King of Persia replies to a complaint about what God's people are doing. We are not called to be a holy huddle and hidden away, but to spill over and do something with purpose. This week, Julian takes a look at what we are doing with what we have and how we can use it with purpose to do something effective for the Kingdom of God.…

Dr John Andrews takes us through the simple but powerful lesson of listening and obeying. As we turn to Acts 8, we see Philip being uniquely used by God simply because he listened. How can we listen to God as we follow the prompts of the Holy Spirit?By Dr John Andrews

Any ship that takes a 2-3º change from its course can soon find itself far from the destination it had in mind. So too, we can lose our sense of direction. Simon was a guy in the book of Acts who stayed close to the miracles and gospel preaching of Phillip, yet his heart was aimed in the wrong direction. As we look at Simon's story in Acts 8, we as…

Challenges come in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes, they are practical; other times, they are spiritual; and sometimes, they are both. We never want to over-spiritualise things that are just natural, but as Christians, we can sometimes downplay spirituality. Stephen could see with spiritual eyes Christ in the middle of his pain, we too must see wit…
