Red Church

Trudi Sayers opens a brand-new series, Growing Up in Christ, by naming something many of us feel but rarely say out loud: our culture has stopped valuing maturity, rewarding emotional reactivity, entitlement, and the endless chase for instant gratification instead. Paul writes to the Ephesians that the church is meant to grow up no longer infants tossed by every wind of teaching, but built together in love until we reach "the full measure of the fullness of Christ", and Trudi traces what that actually costs, landing on the staggering true story of Maximilian Kolbe, who walked into a Nazi death bunker in place of a stranger. The chief mark of maturity, she argues, was never ambition or achievement — it's self-denying love, and the invitation this morning is to put away childish ways and discover what a mature church can do for a world in crisis.

Picking up where last week's message on intercession left off, Daniel looks honestly at the uncertainty pressing in on all of us AI, war, economic strain, a shaking world and asks a simple question: will the church shrink back, or step forward? Drawing from Hebrews 10 and the extraordinary true story of Brother Andrew, the young Dutchman who smuggled Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, Daniel makes the case that courage isn't a personality trait reserved for the bold it's hardwired into every believer's identity in Christ, and it's exactly what the enemy works hardest to steal. This message is an invitation to name your discouragement, take hold of faith and the Holy Spirit, and walk forward into whatever God has called you to.

In this weighty, urgent message, Mark traces the extraordinary story of Rees Howells, a man called out of public ministry into hidden, relentless intercession that history would later credit with turning the tide at Dunkirk and helping defeat the Nazis. Mark names something many are quietly feeling: a rising sense of global instability, from war and AI to economic shocks, and a temptation toward fear or doom-scrolling numbness. Rooted in Jesus' words in John 14, "you may ask me for anything in my name", this is a call for the church to step out of comfort and complacency and into the ancient, world-shaping work of prayer. Will you be one who stands in the gap?

Coming off a week of prayer that saw a cathedral papered in prayers for the nations and a neon "now praying" sign transforming a Hornsby shopfront, Trudi Sayers turns to a deeper question: what does it mean to pray the Word of God, knowing that Jesus himself is the Word? Drawing from John 1 and the extraordinary faith of 19th-century prayer warrior George Müller, Trudi explores how Scripture becomes our true language of prayer: a sword that cuts through lies, a bread that sustains us, and a living voice that speaks directly into our darkest moments. A powerful reminder that God's word isn't just information for the mind, but life for the heart.

As Red Church joins the Global Week of 24-7 Prayer, Chris Cameron takes us into prayer rooms from Lebanon to Peru to Japan, gathering practical wisdom from believers around the world on what it actually looks like to sit with God. Chris unpacks common myths about prayer — it's not magic, not a formula, not a way to earn favor — before offering simple, tested frameworks like the Lord's Prayer, the Psalms, and the PRAY model (Pause, Reflect, Ask, Yield) to help us grow in a life of prayer. Whether you've never prayed before or have been at it for decades, this episode is an invitation to keep it simple, keep it real, and keep it up.
