What story has shaped your desires? This message explores why control and freedom both fall short—and how true freedom is found in being formed into love.

Acts of the Apostles 18:24-28

What if the resurrection isn’t just something to believe—but a new world to live in? In this Easter message from , we explore the angel’s question in Luke 24: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”—a question that doesn’t just inform, but relocates us. If Jesus is risen, then everything changes: how we see our past, where we look for life, and what it means to follow Him in a world made new. Have you come to terms with the world you’re now standing in?

John 3:13-15. No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

God has always been building a home. From creation to Jesus, His desire has been to dwell with His people—and now, through Christ, we become that home.

The gospel doesn’t abolish or idolise family—it redefines it around Jesus, where natural relationships are honoured, loyalties are reordered, and the church becomes a true family in which everyone belongs.

Dave shares a powerful message on marriage, reminding us that most relationships don’t collapse in a moment—but slowly, when we ignore the “smell of smoke.”

Every family carries a story—and those stories shape us more than we realise. In this message, we explore how our family of origin forms our patterns, our relationships, and our identity… but doesn’t have to define our future.

Drawing on Scripture, personal reflection, and everyday family life, Dave explores why so many parents feel ungrounded—and what it means to become grounded ourselves so our kids can flourish.

What if, instead of avoiding or judging in conflict, we chose humble curiosity — and discovered it’s the key to protecting relationships and uncovering what truly matters?

Dave continues our series by sharing some practices that can help us move beyond damaging chapters in our family story, helping us to continue living and flourishing in God and with community.

Dave continues our "Figuring out Family" series by speaking into the second core value of the New Spring family. The value is Care, and it is how people experience the mission of New Spring Church.

Dave begins our "Figuring out Family" series by speaking into a core value of the New Spring family. The value is Purpose, and it embodies our Church's mission.

What if the most important question God ever asks isn’t about what you believe, but about what you truly desire—and what happens when your restless searching finally meets Jesus’ simple invitation: “Come and see”

What if blessing comes before behaviour? What if God has already released you to life — and you’ve been living like you’re still waiting?

What if the things you’ve learned to manage aren’t actually meant to be normal?

What if the sacrifice God wants most isn’t our religious effort at all, but a heart finally honest enough to stop hiding, stop performing, and fall helplessly into His mercy?
