Lead pastor on Acts 1:1-20. The post-resurrection disciples had to learn to build the church on the Spirit alone — the word ‘Spirit’ appears more than fifty times in Acts. The early church was a boat in stormy seas: each disciple a rower. Only by one-spirited prayer and unified leadership could the community survive. If we must face another storm, can we be in it together?

Sixth and final sermon in the Lord’s Prayer series. Lead pastor on Matthew 6:9-13 — ‘lead us not into temptation.’ Temptation circles in adversity; daily devotion builds our resistance. Slow down, savour heartbeat and breath, add more moments of connection with the Lord — and when temptation comes, perhaps we can sweep it away in a moment.
