God’s heart for all peoples
From the beginning to the end of the bible we see God’s heart for all peoples. In the diverse city of Rotterdam this means we have a unique blessing, a unique opportunity and a unique challenge.

Be strong in the Lord (part 1)
In the West, we often struggle to accept the concept of spiritual opposition, especially when it takes the form of the Devil or demons. However, Paul offers clear teachings on the reality of this spiritual battle, reminding us that we face an enemy who actively schemes against us. In this message, we explore the Apostle Paul’s teaching on this subject, examine what it means to ‘put on the full armour of God,’ and learn how we can take a strong stand in the face of such opposition.

There is a Louder voice
In this message, Phil speaks from the story of David and Goliath in 1 Sam 17. We consider how part of being a believer means we will encounter struggle and battle, and how we need to learn how to navigate challenge in order to step into what God has for us.

The fragrance of Christ
In this message Wouter looks at what it means as believers to be ‘aroma of Jesus’ to the world. We consider the question of whether there are personal sacrifices that Jesus is calling us to, in order for him to be able to use us to reach those around us.

Live a life worthy; Works of service
In this message, Sarah looks at the issue of gifting, and how God has given gifts to each one of us to use within the church family. Here we see this amazing picture of both a unified body, but one which also exhibits wonderful diversity and difference in gifting.

Make every effort
Paul writes to the church in Ephesus, ‘make every effort’ to keep the unity of the Spirit. In this message we talk about unity; what it is, why it’s so important, and how all of us have a part of play in looking after it.

Clear Vision - You give them something to eat
Jesus’ feeding of the 5000 is a story that displays both God’s great compassion for people, but also the responsibility on all believers to care for the people around them. On one level, we have a responsibility for the city of Rotterdam. It is a call that comes both with real cost, but also great privilege.

Clear Vision - The outward facing circle
In this message, we look at how our circles of friendship and connection are always meant to be open and outward facing. We are called to share what we have, and make space for others. Jesus’ mission to seek and save lost people has become our mission. Therefore, we should aim to be as aware of those who are ‘not in the room yet’ as much as those who already are.

Clear Vision - A circle of belonging
In this message we looked at the story of the paralysed man brought to Jesus, and the power of belonging.

Christmas ‘In him was Life’
Have you ever wanted to press ‘reset?’ Have you ever desperately wanted to start again and try to get something right that has gone wrong? At the start of our Christmas series we look at how Jesus’ birth is the story of new life breaking into humanity. It is the story of new possibilities, new opportunities and new life for all people.

Our hidden life in God
Our hidden life with God will be the most important aspect of who we are as people, and the direction our life is moving. Chris encouraged us to not hide anything from God, but rather to cultivate a flourishing hidden life of prayer and devotion with God.

Reconciled
In this message we explore God’s plan to create ‘one new humanity’ (the Church) who will display something of his wisdom, power and grace.
We ask the question, what is our role in this and how can we play our part in building together across cultures, generations and people groups?

Remember
In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul urges the Ephesian believers to “remember” both where they once were, and where they now are. They were excluded but now they have been radically included. In this message we explore how fully accepting these truths can impact our lives and our church, creating confidence, humility, compassion and gratitude.
