At our all-age service, One Big Church, Debbie Schofield explores three lessons about commitment and faithfulness drawn from one of the Bible’s most beautiful stories in the book of Ruth.

You don’t have to stay that way! In this Pentecost Sunday message, Ellie Watson looks at the life of Peter at Pentecost.

Peter was a man who denied Jesus in a courtyard, then stood up and preached to thousands. What changed? Pentecost!

Drawing from Acts 2 and 3, Ellie unpacks three powerful truths:

  • Pressure will squeeze you – what spills out reveals what fills you
  • The Spirit will fill you – God isn’t looking for perfect people, but hungry ones
  • Boldness will mark you – ordinary people, extraordinary God

Whether you’ve been playing it safe, staying silent, or just going through the motions – this message is a call to stop attending church in your slippers and start walking in the boldness you didn’t know you had.

We all know the parable of the prodigal son. But what if the title is wrong? What if it’s not just one lost son, but two? And what if one of them never left home?

Through the lens of three famous parables – the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost sons – John unpacks what it really means to be lost, what genuine repentance looks like, and why the Father runs towards us even when we smell like a pigsty.

He explores how lament, empathy, and raw honesty help us face pain, showing that even in silence and hardship, God is present and invites us to trust Him.

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
    How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
    How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, Lord my God.
    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in your unfailing love;
    my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the Lord’s praise,
    for he has been good to me.

Psalm 13
