In this week's message, Mark Sayers explores the story of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8 to reveal a deeper warning for our moment: when spiritual hunger is high but surrender is low. As our culture searches for power, shortcuts, and techniques, what happens when faith is reduced to just another tool for self-gain?Mark traces the return of magic, the rise of spiritual curiosity, and the danger of maximising everything—even our faith. But there’s another way. Like the Magi who bowed before Jesus, we’re invited not to control the Spirit, but to kneel in awe before the One who gives it.This is a message for a culture chasing wonder—and a Church called to welcome the seekers home.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

The Shift Pt.3: The Space We Forgot – Mark Sayers
In this message, Mark Sayers explores the “excluded middle”—the spiritual space between the natural and the overtly religious that modern secularism tries to ignore. But as crises shake our sense of control, more people are becoming open to the mysterious, the spiritual, and the unexplainable.With insight from scripture, cultural trends, and personal stories, Mark challenges us to recognise this growing space and step into it with the authority and power Jesus gives. What if we’re not just called to believe high truths or navigate daily life—but to minister in the messy, mysterious middle where heaven meets earth?Come be reminded: the middle isn’t something to fear. It’s the place Jesus sends us.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

The Shift Pt.2: More Than Matter – Mark Sayers

As spiritual hunger rises and people experience things they can’t explain, we’re seeing signs that the secular worldview is losing its grip.With Psalm 19 as a guide, Mark reminds us that creation itself is speaking—declaring the glory of God. What if sunsets, surprise moments, and even questions are pointing us back to Him? And what if faith isn’t about escaping the world, but waking up to the wonder already within it?Come and discover a simple, powerful way to live every moment with Jesus—no longer divided between sacred and ordinary, but fully alive to His presence in all things.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au

Furnace in the Wilderness – Mark Sayers
In this stirring message, Mark Sayers reflects on his recent time in Europe—where stories of surprising spiritual renewal are emerging from some of the world’s most secular environments. From ChatGPT pointing people to church, to rising faith among Gen Z across Scandinavia and beyond, something unexpected is happening: God is spreading a table in the wilderness.But this message isn’t just about Europe—it’s about us. With Psalm 78 as a guide, Mark challenges the posture of cynicism that asks, “Can God really move here?” and invites us to reimagine what God might be doing in our own lives, churches, and cities. What if God is already at work—in the pain, the doubt, the slow days and dry seasons? What if the crumbs in your wilderness are the beginnings of heaven’s feast?Come and be reminded that the wilderness is not a place of absence—but a place of encounter, transformation, and table fellowship with God.🔗 Learn more at redchurch.au
