This Week, we’re exploring what it means to serve with strength, joy, and resilience — and how to actually do it. 1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us to stay awake, steady, prayerful, and grateful — habits that build teams that are strong, joyful, resilient, and fully reliant on the strength of Jesus.

Words like diversity, equity, and inclusion are terms we’ve heard frequently in recent times. However, I think when you take a closer look, those words are often more about demands, compliance and conformity than anything else. This week, we’re talking about what diversity looks like in our church context and how diversity (not conformity) makes us stronger, and how each person’s contribution matters. -PC

This week, we're back to in-person recording and continuing our 'From Paper to Purpose' series with a timely reminder: We don’t just build ministries — we build people. Ministries are tools. People are eternal. God’s design is not just about filling schedules, but about transforming lives — investing in clarity, care, and spiritual confidence.

Some have been given the false impression that church is about conformity; in reality, it’s about harmony. This week we’re in Romans 15:1–7, learning how spiritually strong people carry the weak, how Jesus welcomed us first (at great cost), and how a culture of grace creates harmony, not uniformity. If you’ve been hurt by “fit in or get out,” listen in and hear why the gospel says, ‘Welcome, let Jesus do the forming.’ We’re making room for you.

After a week of raw headlines, strong opinions, and not knowing who or what to believe, many of us find ourselves standing at a crossroads. This week, we walk through Romans 12:9-21 and learn how to love without pretence, bless instead of curse, and overcome evil with good. If you’re looking for a Christ-shaped way to process grief, anger, and division—and to live it out—listen in.

This Father’s Day, we’re looking at what it means to live with purpose—not pressure. Our shared value this week: “We are motivated by purpose, not compulsion.” Serving out of guilt, fear, or manipulation drains you physically, mentally and spiritually. When we are motivated by our God-given purpose, we find the strength to persevere and the courage to say a firm “no” to compulsion.

Everyone is searching for hope. Some look for it in success, others in relationships, or in a better tomorrow, but eventually all of those break or fade. At Hinterland, we believe real, lasting hope is found in Jesus. This Sunday, in our series From Paper to Purpose, we’ll explore what it means to carry the hope of the Gospel into a broken world — not just in our words, but in the way we live, respond, and serve.

Who are you… really? If you lost everything—your possessions, your job, even your reputation—what would remain? Many spend their lives building identity on what they own, what they achieve, or what others think, only to discover those foundations are fragile, fleeting, and often conflicting. At Hinterland, we believe true unity comes from shared values and purpose anchored in our shared identity in Christ. This week, we continue our series ‘From Paper to Purpose’ as we explore what it means to find our identity in Jesus—and live it out together.

Week 1: Purpose Without a shared purpose and values, we drift aimlessly—eventually colliding with something we didn’t see coming. But when we embody the Gospel, reflect Christ’s character, and serve His purpose, we move in the same direction together—united, strong, and effective for God’s Kingdom.

This week, we wrap up our Trust Issues series with another eternal truth: Joy flows from generous living. When we trust God with our treasure, time, and talents, He promises to supply all we need and more so we can overflow into every good work (2 Corinthians 9:6–8). Listen in to be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to live generously.

The parable of the talents isn’t just about ability. It’s about trust. We’ve all been given gifts, resources, and opportunities. The question is: are we hiding them out of fear, or putting them to work in faith? Listen in as we talk about how to use your talents faithfully as tools so they don’t end up as burdens or missed opportunities.

Life feels chaotic when your schedule is filled with chaos. Paul says, ‘Walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise men, making the most of the time’ It’s time to spend some time evicting time-thieves, like fear, procrastination, and endless scrolling. Listen in this week for ‘Trust Issues: God, Time and Me’ as we look at how to reclaim your time.

Most of us aren’t chasing a fortune—we just want a little more than we have. But once we get it, we soon find we want a little more. “A little more” is never enough when you believe it will bring satisfaction. It’s a cycle that leaves us anxious and craving peace, but we keep thinking ‘a little more’ and we’ll be satisfied. This week, we’re looking at what fuels the insatiable desire for more, why it never delivers, and how to break free from the loop. Because what we truly want isn’t more stuff, but freedom from the desire for more.

Hope isn’t a feeling, it’s an anchor. Not built on emotion, but truth. Not self-made, but God-given. Not wishful, but confident. Trade a self-reliant feeling for a confidence anchored in the promises of God.

Strong & Still – Part 4: Receiving and Extending Forgiveness — Living in Freedom This week, we’re tackling something at the very centre of the Gospel: forgiveness. So many people remain trapped in guilt, bitterness, and old wounds, but Christ calls us to experience the freedom of forgiveness. Listen and discover what forgiveness is (and what it isn’t), how to receive it, how to extend it to others, and how to live in the freedom that comes with it.
