Geoff unpacks the power of God’s light—from the moment He spoke “Let there be light” into the chaos of creation, to the miracle of Him shining that same light into human hearts through Christ. Drawing from Genesis, 2 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jesus’ words in Matthew 5, Geoff challenges us to arise and shine in a dark world—not hiding the light within us, but letting it radiate in our workplaces, communities, and daily lives.

In this message, Dave Gregg calls us back to Jesus’ commission: you are the light of the world. Flowing from a summer encounter at the One Voice conference, Dave urges us not just to hear the Word but to do it—together. Using simple, memorable visuals (tea-lights, a lighthouse, and a torch that widens its beam), he shows how everyday believers carry Christ’s hope into workplaces, neighborhoods, and families.

Dave gets practical: smile more, guard your words, refuse gossip, serve where you are, and give the Holy Spirit “something to work with.” He reminds us that character and integrity shine brightest, and that our light intensifies when we stand shoulder-to-shoulder as a church. The call is clear—fan the flame, be continually filled with the Spirit, and let your light reach farther than before.

Key Scriptures

• Matthew 5:14 — You are the light of the world.
• 1 John 4:17 — As He is, so are we in this world.

• Widen your “beam”: expect your influence to reach further.
• Don’t run on empty—keep fanning the flame of the Spirit.

This week, we continue our mini-series inspired by the One Voice conference in Cardiff, exploring the theme “The Light of the World.” Jesus not only declared, “I am the Light of the World,” but also turned to His followers and said, “You are the light of the world.”

Together, we unpack what it means to live as light-bearers in a world often marked by darkness. From Genesis’ first command, “Let there be light,” to John’s teaching that walking in the light is inseparable from living in love, this message explores the deep connection between light, life, and love.

Harry shares takeaways from One Voice and Kerry Jones’ word that the Church must become a Spirit-filled people. Walking through Acts 1–2, he argues that the Holy Spirit is the main character of the early Church story, and that personal focus on Jesus, honest community, and obedience in waiting prepare us to host the move of God. Harry lands with a practical call to “set your sails” — removing weights and sin, repairing unity, and making space for the Spirit’s power and overflow.

True freedom is found in surrender. Drawing from Exodus 21’s picture of the willing bondservant, this message explores what it means to live ‘under new ownership’—relinquishing our rights, trusting our Master’s goodness, and discovering the joy of loving slavery to Christ.

Listen as Mike continues to take us deeper into our teaching series of truly knowing and living out what it means for Christ to be Lord in our lives.

What does it really mean to live under the Lordship of Jesus?

It starts with being loved by Him — completely, undeservedly, and eternally. That love calls us to respond: to love God with all our heart, and to love others with the same grace we've received. In this message, Malcolm helps us understand how the rule of Christ shapes our identity, our priorities, and our relationships. Jesus isn’t just Lord in name — He leads us in love.

Jesus' commands aren't optional - they're loving, life-shaping, and meant to be obeyed. Listen, as Ali takes us deeper in our Lordship series, exploring how real faith responds with action, not just words.

What kind of Christian are you becoming? Passive, distracted, image-focused, or fully surrendered to Jesus? There is no trick - just daily obedience, rooted in His love.
