Samson (21/06/2026)

Using Samson's story in Judges 16, Sammy Jo explores how compromise rarely arrives as a dramatic fall but as a slow drift through small, seemingly harmless choices that quietly erode our spiritual integrity. But the message ends in hope — no matter how far we've wandered, God is still a redeemer, and our calling is never cancelled.

Stones of Remembrance (14/6/2026)

Speaking from Joshua 4, Ronny Higgins from First Woodway, Waco, brought us to one of the most overlooked moments in Israel's story: the crossing of the River Jordan. After 600 years of slavery and 40 years of wandering, the people of God finally crossed into the Promised Land. And what did God ask them to do? Pick up twelve stones and stack them. It sounds simple. Ordinary, even. But the more Ronny unpacked it, the more extraordinary it became.

Equipping: Called, Gifted, Shaped for God’s Purpose (19/04/2026)

Paul shared with us today about how every single one of us is called, gifted, and equipped by God — not just the preachers and pastors, but every person in the church, for the sake of the church and the world around us. It was a warm and grounding reminder that following Jesus isn't a spectator sport. We're not called to sit back and watch one person live out their calling from a distance; we're called to be part of what God is doing, right here in Redcar and in our everyday lives.
