Sunday 17th August 2025

This Sunday, we’re stepping into the fire.

Not metaphorically. Not gently. And not just to warm our toes. Jesus says, “I came to bring fire to the earth—and how I wish it were already kindled!” That’s where we begin.

It’s one of those passages that unsettles us—and perhaps that’s the point. What do we do with a Jesus who doesn’t come to calm things down, but to set hearts and households ablaze?

We’ll be exploring what this holy fire really means—not just in theory, but in the real grit and grace of our lives. The sort of fire that clarifies. The sort that costs something. The sort that might just lead to freedom.

If your faith feels too safe, too quiet, too… tidy—this might be the Sunday to come. Bring your questions. Bring a friend. And come prepared to look into the heart of the flame.
