How Does Someone Start So Well, and End Up So Wrong?
Saul didn’t fall away from God overnight. His downfall came through repeated acts of fear, compromise and disobedience that slowly hardened his heart. In this message from 1 Samuel 28, Joel explores how the same pattern can creep into our own lives and how Jesus invites us to turn back, repent and walk in obedience before small compromises become big consequences.
Saul had everything: God's calling, God's Spirit, and God's blessing. Yet his life slowly unravelled, not because he lacked ability, but because he stopped trusting God. In this message from 1 Samuel 15 and 18–19, we'll discover how distrust leads to control, comparison, and ultimately destruction. And how Jesus invites us into a life of deep trust and lasting freedom.
Luke talks about how we often exchange the Creator for created things. God designed sex to be good but we've made it foolishness by using it to fix feelings in our lives that only God can heal. Luke reads from John 4, and asks the question: What are you actually thirsty for?
Ben continues our series on Saul, exploring the question: when fear comes knocking - how do we respond?
Saul should have felt unstoppable - chosen, anointed and walking in the fullness of God's power. Yet at the moment he needed to stand firm in faith, he took matters into his own hands.
Saul had everything most people want. He had success, approval, influence, and even powerful encounters with God. Yet he was still hiding among the baggage. Marce explores why insecurity can ruin a life and how learning to believe God's story about us changes everything.

Saul: How to Not Ruin Your Life
DOWNLOAD PDFWhen we look at the life of Saul, Israel’s first king, it poses the simple but uncomfortable question: how does someone who starts so well end up going so wrong? These discovery notes will look at passages in the bible that unpack these key topics alongside a question, to understand what is going on underneath. The point of this series is not to leave us feeling condemned, but to make us more aware and more responsive to God.
Rejoicing in Christ
This series is about coming back to something central. Christianity is not first a system, a set of values or a strategy. Christianity is Christ.
Walk. Live. Stand.
This Spring we are journeying through the final chapters of Paul's letter to the Ephesians. These Discovery Notes have been paired with the season of Lent. A time to slow down, reflect and make space for God to shape us. Our prayer is simple: that we won't just learn more, but that we'll become more like Jesus!
