Mario Hood - Unhindered

As a church, we are called to be missional. Yet when we think of mission, we often imagine someone else, somewhere else, at another time. But God is calling us to be missional right where we are—in our workplaces, at school, on the sidelines of the football pitch, and everywhere in between. This series aims to unpack the theology of mission, cultivate a burden in our congregation for reaching others, and offer practical guidance on how to share your faith, looking to the life of Jesus for a masterclass in Evangelism. Jesus calls every believer to share his love here and now, not just overseas or at some future moment. Drawing on the Great Commission, this message challenges the excuses of personality, fear and busyness, reminding us that Jesus goes with us and the Holy Spirit equips us. We’re encouraged to recognise our families, workplaces and schools as places of mission, and to take practical steps in prayer and conversation rather than waiting for the perfect opportunity. Pastor Paul Reid, launched our series in Manchester, with a message titled - I am !Audacious, This is my mission. As Christ’s ambassadors, we are called to share our faith where we are, rather than leaving mission to someone else or waiting for the perfect moment. Drawing on Moses’ encounter with God and the example of Jesus, this message encourages us to trust God’s presence despite feelings of inadequacy and recognise opportunities in everyday life. As Christmas approaches, a simple invitation to church can help friends, family and colleagues encounter the God who has changed our lives.

Legacy is a series about living for something bigger than ourselves. As we step into a new season as a church, we're exploring what it means to build a life that leaves a lasting impact — not just what we leave for people, but what we leave in people. From Moses and Joshua to Paul and Timothy, Scripture is full of ordinary people who built extraordinary legacies of faith, and their stories remind us that every generation has a part to play in advancing God's Kingdom. God’s story does not begin or end with us: each generation is called to receive, steward and pass on faith to the next. Drawing on Psalm 78, this message explores how we honour those who came before us, celebrate what God is doing now and make space for stories still to come. Through sharing testimonies, praying together and finding our place in church life, we can build a legacy that reaches beyond ourselves. A lasting local legacy begins with being rooted in the local church, making Jesus our priority rather than fitting faith around convenience. Drawing on Psalm 92, this message explores how consistent worship and life-giving community strengthen and refresh us, helping us flourish and become a blessing to others. We’re invited to take a practical step towards belonging, whether by joining a small group, serving on a team or encouraging someone who needs hope. Leaving a lasting legacy is not about making a name for ourselves, but making Jesus known in the places we call home. Rooted in John 3:30, this message invites us to let prayer deepen our love for our communities and to bring our gifts into the life of the local church. Through kindness, generosity and a simple invitation, each of us can play a part in helping others come to know Jesus. Generosity is a grace we can grow in, leaving a legacy of faith for generations to come. Drawing on the Macedonian churches in 2 Corinthians 8, this message encourages us to practise thankfulness for what we have and develop a personal conviction about giving rooted in our love for God. We’re invited to take a step of faith with our finances, sharing in the privilege of supporting local communities, global mission and future church leaders. God loves to bless his children, not simply for their own benefit, but so they can become a blessing to others. Through the prayer of Jabez, this message invites us to move beyond comparison, recognise God’s goodness in our lives and ask him to enlarge our capacity to serve. We’re encouraged to examine our motives, guard our hearts against pride and temptation, and depend on God’s presence rather than our own strength.
