This week in church, Nathan continued our series, Resolving Everyday Conflict, with his message, Get Real, focusing on the second gospel principle for conflict resolution: Own My Part (The "Me" section of the God, Me, You, Us framework). Nathan taught that "The fight is not the failure; our response to it can be," but we often fail because we look at the "speck" in others' eyes while...
This week in church, our special guest and previous Mayfield Baptist Pastor, Kevin Warner (representing Peacewise), continued our new series, Resolving Everyday Conflict, with his message, Going Higher, emphasising that though conflict is an inevitable, hot issue, the core of the Gospel is reconciliation. Kevin introduced the first gospel principle for constructive conflict resolution: Glorify God, using the simple fr...
This week in church, Andrew kicked off our new series, Resolving Everyday Conflict, with his message, Facing the Flames of Conflict, tackling the reality of tension in our lives. Andrew and Grace used a powerful analogy: "Conflict is like a fire." The Spark is a disagreement, the Fuel is the old sinful nature (e.g., pride or rage), and the Flames are the destructive actions. Drawing on Ephesians 4:17-32, the...
In this special extra message in the Playlist of Faith series, guest preacher Yakim from OM (Operation Mobilisation) shares on God's global mission, centering on Psalm 96. He argues that worship is the ultimate goal, and mission is the fuel, existing where worship is absent. Yakim highlights the call to "Declare his glory among the nations" by sharing the gospel in culturally relevant ways, such as in p...
In this, our last sermon on 'The Playlist of Faith' series, Andrew tackles the challenging Psalms of Lament, using Psalm 42 and 43 to address what to do when life is a battle. When your soul is downcast, the way forward is not denial, but honest lament and a deliberate remembrance of God's faithfulness. The message encourages listeners to model the psalmist: openly expressing their desperate need for Go...
This week, Nathan's message, "Praise on Repeat," focuses on the Psalms of Praise, a core theme in the Tehillim (Hebrew for "Book of Praises"). He divides them into two types: Declarative Psalms (or thanksgiving, Toda), which retell a personal or communal crisis and God’s specific deliverance (e.g., Psalm 116), leading to a renewed vow of praise. Secondly, Descriptive Psalms (or hymns), which c...
Grant explores the Psalms of Repentance (e.g., Psalm 51), a collection for expressing the distress caused by sin. These psalms move from acknowledging sin's impact to open confession and finding hope in God's mercy. Focusing on King David's example, Grant emphasises that all sin is ultimately an offence against God and requires taking full personal responsibility. He distinguishes between Sin (the inher...
Ana Pickering continues the 'Playlist of Faith' series by focusing on the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134), also known as pilgrim psalms. Traditionally sung by Hebrew pilgrims on their corporate journey up to Jerusalem for major festivals, these songs trace a spiritual path from oppression to freedom in God. Ana highlights the Biblical theme of "up" as a reminder to always look to God and contrast...
Join Andrew as he kicks off the new sermon series, 'The Playlist of Faith,' by exploring the foundational wisdom of Psalm 1. He introduces the Psalms as the "greatest hits of ancient Israel"—musical poems capturing the full spectrum of human emotion and worship. Psalm 1 presents a stark, black-and-white choice between two paths: the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked. Andrew unpacks the...
This Father's Day message by Grant explores the biblical calling of fatherhood, urging men to model their lives after God's own character. He challenges worldly definitions of success, emphasizing that a true father's legacy is built on integrity, values, and faith—not wealth or power. Drawing on scripture, Grant covers essential duties like instruction, discipline, and unconditional love, encouraging f...
Ever wonder if you're a hypocrite? In this message, Steve Pick dives into Matthew 7 to confront our deepest motivations. He tackles the famous "log in your eye" analogy, challenging us to deal with our own issues before we judge others. Steve also unpacks what it really means to "ask, seek, and knock," revealing that God is a loving Father who gives good gifts, not a vending machine for our ev...
In this final message from the Sermon on the Mount series, Chris Adams from YWAM Perth delivers a powerful and practical challenge. He focuses on three well-known illustrations: the two gates, the two trees, and the two foundations. Chris urges listeners to move beyond just knowing these concepts and to build a life on the secure foundation of Christ's teaching, not on the world's shifting sands. This talk i...
In this message, Grant explores Jesus's call to stop worrying. He explains that this is a matter of the heart—where we put our trust. He explores how our hearts are connected to our treasure, whether it's the fleeting things of this world or the secure, eternal things held for us in heaven. He challenges us to consider where our focus lies, asking if we are driven by the anxieties of money, possessions, or i...
In this message, Steve Bartlett reflects on Mayfield Baptist Church's 100th anniversary, drawing from Psalm 145 to challenge us to three refreshed commitments: to worship God with daily praise, to grow in faith and pass it on to the next generation, and to be driven by God's love to fulfill His mission in the world. He challenges us to be active participants in God's kingdom. To be thermostats for God&a...
Is prayer a spiritual checklist or a genuine conversation with a loving God? In this powerful message, Nathan unpacks the Lord's Prayer, revealing it not just as a set of words to be recited but as a blueprint for a life of intentional and intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father. Nathan challenges us to move beyond hypocrisy and babbling, and to have a singular audience of one in our prayer life. This epis...
In 1961, a young Daphne Robson left her home in Australia to serve as a missionary at the Doctor Graham's Homes for children in Kalimpong, India. What began as a childhood conviction from a single Bible verse blossomed into a life of unwavering faith, selfless service, and unexpected adventure.
In this emotional and insightful conversation, Daphne shares her remarkable story, from her earliest spiritual awakening ...
Nathan's message, "Who Are You Trying To Impress?", delves into Jesus's warnings against religious hypocrisy. He defines hypocrisy as performing good deeds for human praise rather than God's approval. Nathan illustrates this through three spiritual disciplines: giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting. In each case, Jesus calls for these acts to be done in secret, emphasizing that God, who see...
Andrew's message, "Oaths, Retaliation, and Love of Enemy," unpacks Jesus's call to a "good and different" kingdom life. He explains that Jesus demands radical integrity, where a simple "yes" or "no" suffices, eliminating manipulative oaths. Instead of "an eye for an eye," Jesus advocates breaking cycles of violence through creative, non-violent responses like...
Grant's message, "Murder, Adultery, and Divorce," explores Jesus's teaching that these sins originate in the heart, not just external actions. He asserts that anger and contempt are like murder, and lustful thoughts are adultery, emphasizing the sacredness of human life and marital covenants. The message calls for self-examination, urging listeners to replace hate, lust, and betrayal with love, for...
Grant's message, "Jesus Fulfilled the Law," highlights that followers of Jesus are called to be salt and light in the world, preserving goodness and shining brightly in contrast to societal decay. He explains that while the Old Testament law, with its 613 rules, revealed God's call to holiness, it also demonstrated humanity's inability to achieve perfection. Jesus, through his life and sacrifi...

Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
