This is week 3 of our series looking at the minor prophets and today Chris is sharing from the book of Haggai. Are we prepared to consider the ways in which we have been comfortable in our faith and to truly understand the call we have to build the Kingdom of God, to be a part of The Lord's work here on Earth and to see those who are lost, become found?

Today's podcast is 3 of our dads at House church sharing their experience of the Father heart of God. How the Father heart of God has influenced their role as Dad's and also their walk with God the Father.

Our series looking at the writings of the minor prophets seeing how they both challenged God's people and showed the heart of God for His people. Today's episode is from the book of Habakkuk.

This week we are kicking off our new series looking at the writings of the minor prophets seeing how they both challenged God's people and showed the heart of God for His people. This week our focus is on Hosea and the story of restorative love that he both preaches and lives out.

Richard leads us in a Communion Service.

This week we are joined by Paul Reid as he continues in our series 'The Church'.

Lauren spends some time interviewing Adam and Hannah Heather, getting to know them a little better and taking a look at what their journey has been so far before looking ahead at some hopes for the future.

God's mission is to bring his kingdom rule to all creation and has tasked his church with being on mission with Him to share the great hope of the gospel with all humanity. We look at how we, as the church, impact those we meet in a natural, loving way in the power and authority he has given us.

Part four of our look at The Church focuses on the call to be serve reminding us who it is we serve and the reasons He has given us to be servants not spectators in this world.

In part three of our series on The Church we will look at the sometimes controversial topic of money asking how God wants us to handle our money by looking at what He has to say in both the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount.

This week we’re thinking about Community in the Church. Chris opens up Acts 2:42-27 and builds on what Debbie shared last week while looking at how we’re called to Care for one another, Worship together, Eat together and be on Mission together.

As we begin our new series 'The Church' we offer an answer to the two-fold question, 'what is the church and what is its purpose?', by looking at the teachings of Jesus and Paul and the example of the earliest expression of church in Acts 2.

Celebrating the joy of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Some Greek men appeared in Jerusalem and witnessed the events of Holy week. Their request of the disciples is simply 'We would see Jesus' (John 12:21). What exactly did they see and, as we witness the events of Palm Sunday and beyond, will we truly see this Jesus, our Saviour and King?

We round out this series in Galatians by looking at what Paul has to say to the Galatian Christians about how they are to relate to one another in light of what Christ has done and the freedom He has won.

This Mother's Day we are joined by Priscilla Reid who brings an encouraging message.

Chris continues our series in Galatians, highlighting the differences between living in law, in licence and in the Spirit.

In week 6 of our study in Galatians we look at how Paul grounds our freedom in Christ in the reality of who we are using a story from the life of Abraham to drive his point home.

In this fifth instalment of our series in Galatians we expose the lies of the enemy and explore the truth of the Bible about our God given identities.

If we can save ourselves, Christ’s death is pointless. If we know we cannot save ourselves, Christ’s death is everything.” Tim Keller. In Galatians 2, Paul opposes Peter for being a hypocrite and twisting the true Gospel. What is the true Gospel Paul is referring to? Salvation through faith alone. In this message we tackle the themes in this passage and together learn how we can remain steadfast on the truth of the Gospel, that which is freeing and complete.

In Galatians 1 and 2 we see the apostle Paul in Freedom Fighter mode, determined to wrestle for the true freedom we have in the gospel of Christ. We learn together that it is vital to contend for that freedom ourselves: for our own sake, for the sake of our fellow-believers and for the sake of unity in our church; as we together model living in freedom and love to the world.

Paul's deepest concern for the Galatian believers was that they were deserting the gospel he preached to them so this week we will look at what the message of that gospel is, why it was so vital to Paul that those Christians held firm to it and why that still matters today.

This Sunday Debbie begins our series studying through the letter to the Galatians by looking at the background to this group of churches that Paul was writing to.

God calls us to live a life of compassion following the example of Jesus. In today's service we celebrate what we are doing as a church through our compassion ministries and challenge each other to have a heart for the needs around us.

In 1978 Boney M asked, 'how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?'. This week we learn from three friends in Daniel 3 exactly how to 'sing God's praise' in a culture that is both strange and unfriendly.

This Christmas we look at the hope that Christmas brings with its reminder that this world we inhabit is not all there is, there is another world, one we cannot see. Christmas is the time when that world invaded our world as a baby and brought the promise that one day we could be with Him.

Newland shares the impact that holiness not only has on us, but on those around us.

This Sunday moves us into the final section of our series, Holiness and Wholehearted Devotion to God, where we look at the impact of holiness. What difference will people who answer God's call to live holy lives make in the world around them?

How do Spiritual Disciplines help us to live a life that love’s God with all our heart, soul and strength.

This week Chris looked at who the Holy Spirit is and the role he plays in our transformation as we become more like Jesus.

As we enter a new movement in our series on holiness and wholehearted devotion to God we will look at the part we play in this. But we start by reminding ourselves of the transforming grace of God that means we do not have to work to make ourselves right with God. Our 'rightness' comes as a gift of His grace and that same grace will continue to transform us.

We are called to be holy as God is holy but what happens when we get off track through sin, disappointment or hurt? The example of Peter can help us to see a loving God who believes and practices Holy Restoration.

Lauren brings a message around the joy holy conviction can bring us, how we often miss this when we confuse it with condemnation and how it allows us to step into closer relationship with our heavenly father.

This Sunday we continue this study on holiness by looking at the problem we all face when it comes to relating to a holy God, our sin. We ask what sin is, where it has come from and how it impacts the relationship we have with God.

Looking at how as we pursue holiness, continuing to submit ourselves to the will and way of the Lord, we are cultivating a lifestyle of worship. For worship has and always will be the battleground for our hearts affection.

This week we explore how prayer and fasting can orient our lives around what matters most.

Following on from last week where we looked at the holiness of God, this week we ask how then do we respond to the command from this holy God to ‘be holy as I am holy’ (Lev. 11:44-45)?

This Sunday we introduced our theme of holiness and wholehearted devotion to God by asking what it means to say God is holy and how should we respond to such holiness.

Pastor Natalie spoke on the "Throne Room of Heaven" from Isaiah 6, and the privilege we have of entering into God's presence which is available to all of us because of what Jesus did at the cross.

We all know that sometimes life can take an unexpected turn, we get news we didn't expect or things don't turn out how we imagined. Andy Masters shares a message about living life through the unexpected with Jesus.

God is actively seeking an intimate relationship with his children. From Psalm 91 we hear about his secret place where we can draw aside to sit in his presence and experience his love and care for each one of us in a unique way.

Welcome to our podcast where we upload the message portion of our Sunday gathering. This Sunday we had the lovely Lynn Noble from our church family speak to us about the calling from God on our life. Lynn encouraged us to lean in, to hear him and to follow him. Our prayer is that this message would grow your confidence in knowing that The Lord has knit you together, has settled his purpose into from the moment of your design and that He always has more for you. Please reach out if there's som...

Welcome to our podcast where we upload the message portion of our Sunday gathering. This Sunday we had the joy of welcoming Mark Ellis from Christ Church Newcastle to teach us as part of a commissioning service for CUI. Mark spoke to us from Luke 15, the parable of the lost son and reminded us of the gift set before us to be a son or daughter of Father God. We pray that you are encouraged through this message and if you would like prayer, please contact us through any of our social media...

Welcome to our podcast where we upload the message portion of our Sunday gathering. This Sunday we had the joy of having our friend Paul Reid join us this Sunday to teach us from the last chapter of the Gospel of John, the BBQ on the Beach. Paul reminds us of the core of our life with Jesus, to love Him and the call to follow Him.

Welcome to our podcast where we upload the message portion of our Sunday gathering. This Sunday we had the absolute privilege of welcoming our friend Charlotte Curran to come and teach us on the practice of Sabbath. Our prayer is that this timely message will bring you to a place of rest with The Lord, knowing you are His beloved, in whom he loves to dwell. And that you recognise once more the significance of being set apart as special and holy for Him.

Taking the first of our Summer Sermons we have Newland McKelvey, one of our elders here at House Church. Newland takes us through Romans 8:37-39 and the truth that we are 'more than conquerors through Him who loved us'. We pray that you are encouraged by this teaching today.

This Sunday we finish out our series on our 'cloud of witnesses' by learning from Daniel how we can live for God right throughout our lives even in a difficult, some would say hostile, environment.

This Sunday we look at another 'hero of the faith', Jonathan, son of Saul. Through his life we will see the importance of living our lives submitted to God's purposes rather than relying on our own limited wisdom.*Please be aware there is some minor audio interference due to a mic issue*

This is the beginning of a new series where we will be looking at 3 characters in the bible.

This week Richard shares that evangelism is simply sharing what you have seen and heard about your faith. It happens most effectively when ordinary people share with ordinary people in ordinary circumstances. Ordinary becomes extraordinary when we step into the authority of Jesus with the power of the Spirit and experience the blessing of being part of someone else’s faith journey.

This Sunday we look at the role of community in the life of a disciple of Jesus by studying some of the 'one another' instructions in Scripture.

This Sunday Chris spent some time helping us think about what Jesus had to say about Prayer. Focusing on Matthew 6: 5-13, he reflected on why we should come before God in prayer as needy, loved children before opening up how Jesus called us to Kingdom centred prayers.

This Sunday we look at how the Bible is a part of building our relationship with God. We consider what the Bible is not, what it is and how we can best engage with Scripture.

This week we continue to look at what happens after we say yes to Jesus by considering how our perspective changes particularly with regard to how we view God, how we see our connection to Jesus and the role we give the Holy Spirit in our lives.

As we start our new series about life with Jesus, we begin by looking at the intentional process through which we change.

Pastor Debbie shares a Palm Sunday message as we begin Easter 2023.

Pastor Phil brings an Easter Sunday message.(We apologise for the audio glitches within this podcast, and thank you for you patience with us as we work on a solution!)

What did Jesus mean when he said "You cannot serve both God and money"? This week we examine this statement by Jesus asking what role money plays in our life and how we can be faithful with what we have.

Join us as we hear an encouraging message brought by Claire, Lynn and Debbie as we celebrate the mothers and mother figures in our lives this Mother's Day.

This week we are looking at a part of the teaching of Jesus that addresses our relationship with worry, and the reasons why it doesn't need to dominate our lives.

Newland continues in our series 'According To The Gospels', sharing a message on Jesus teaching on forgiveness.

This week we're joined by guest speaker Paul Reid!

This Sunday we follow Jesus as he sets out to answer a father's cry for help but seems to get sidetracked on the way. What is really happening here and what does it have to teach us about our response to others?

This week we celebrated communion, with a focus on the importance of joining together as a community as we practice this act of remembrance.

This Sunday we follow Jesus and His disciples on one of their most unforgettable days and ask what we can learn from watching Jesus' interactions and listening to His words.

As we start this new series about learning from Jesus, we are first going to look at a few obstacles that can effect how we approach him in the first place.

We're kicking off the New Year by taking a look at The Gospel, as told by Matthew and the message that it still holds for us today.

In this last instalment of our Advent series we ask how we can find God in the many ordinary days of our lives. Through a consideration of the shepherds who visited Jesus on the night of his birth we learn some ways to look for God in the normal, ways to remind ourselves that there is more than simply the life that we see. As citizens of God's kingdom our everyday lives have eternal significance.

One of the hardest parts of the build up to Christmas is the waiting for the day to come! In the second week of our Advent series we are talking about the challenges of waiting and how while it's hard to wait....it may just have a purpose.

As we start a new series focusing in on the Advent season, we will be asking what Advent can teach us in certain situations. This Sunday the question is ‘what can Advent teach us about the silence of God?’
