She highlights how our response can cause us to bear fruit that lasts

Jeremiah 17:8:

He will be like a tree planted by water. It sends its roots out toward a stream. It doesn’t fear when heat comes, and its foliage remains green. It will not cease producing fruit in a year of drought.

As we begin 2026, we are reminded that one of the most powerful ways we shape our faith, our thinking, and our lives is through God’s Word. The words we listen to, speak, and live by matter deeply.

Scripture in Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that God’s Word is living and active, able to renew our minds, strengthen our spirits, and guide our steps.

Pastor Dave focuses on the practice of engaging with God’s Word and reflecting on the power of words, as well as how God speaks to us, forms us, and invites us to align our lives with His truth.

As we commit ourselves to Him this year, may we devote ourselves afresh to listening for His voice and allowing His Word to shape our trust, our prayers, and our daily walk.

A sermon by Revd Jon. We hope you are encouraged by the words of wisdom shared from the Gospel.

In this episode, we take a deeper journey into Genesis 1, uncovering God’s deep desire for a relationship with humanity. Through the story of Adam and Eve, we explore the reality of disobedience, its lasting impact on the world, and yet the overwhelming grace of God who continually calls us back to Himself through repentance and reconciliation, fulfilled ultimately in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins.

Pastor Dave also highlights the powerful theme of rest in the creation story, showing how God’s design for rest is not weakness but worship. This theme weaves forward into the life of Noah, a man through whom God sought to redeem and restore His people in a broken world.

A rich and thought-provoking message on creation, fall, redemption, and rest.

Take the sabbath, reconstruct yourself in the beauty of what God created the world to be.
