When Someone Else Gets The Win (Genesis Part 9)
Ever felt that sting when someone else gets the recognition you wanted? Pete Butland unpacks the story of Cain and Abel to reveal it's not just about murder – it's about our fundamental view of God. Using emergency Christmas presents and unwanted toffee pennies as illustrations, Pete exposes how we often give God our leftovers while keeping the best for ourselves. The real question: do we truly believe God is enough? When we don't, we become like Cain – resentful, bitter, and unable to celebrate others' success. But when we know God's abundance, we can give our best without fear and rejoice when others receive His favour.

How to Have a Faith That Pleases God
In this talk we explore the depths of true faith and the transformative impact of unwavering belief. Drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul's perilous journey in Acts 27, we delve into what it means to have a faith that not only endures life's storms but also pleases God.
