The prodigal son story isn’t just about rebellion; it’s also about the kind of obedience that can leave us just as lost.

This week, we look at how doing everything right can still leave us far from God.

Most people know the story of the prodigal son. Fewer realise it’s actually a story about two lost sons.

This week: 'Departure - The Illusion of Independence' where we'll be exploring how independence from God—whether through rebellion or obedience—promises freedom but quietly leaves us isolated.

Join us online as we open Luke 15 and ask an honest question: Where do you see yourself in the story?

Hope is more than a feeling. It isn’t something we work up when life gets dark. Biblical hope is sure. Something God promised and delivered. If you’re weary, uncertain, or carrying more than you should, this promise is for you. Listen in as we look at God’s promise of hope — sure, steady, and everlasting.

Jesus is the Saviour, the Christ, and the Lord - Three titles. One message.   Salvation isn’t a system, a strategy, or a self-improvement plan — it’s a gift. A gift God promised from the very beginning and fulfilled in Jesus. This week we explore what each title, Saviour, Christ and Lord means and why it matters: This is good news of great joy for all people, and — as the angel said — for unto you a Saviour is born. Discover t...

Culture keeps telling us love is just a feeling. Floating. Romantic. Sentimental. But God doesn’t love like that. When the Bible talks about God’s love, it’s covenant. It’s promise. It’s action. It’s stability.   Romans 5:8 says, ‘But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.’   That’s not simply a mood or sentiment. That’s God keeping an ancient promise He made long before...

Joy isn’t the same as happiness. Happiness comes and goes as circumstances change. This week, we’re looking at Luke 1:46–55, where a young girl reveals a joy that doesn’t stem from comfort, control, or certainty, but from God’s faithful promises.   If you’re tired, discouraged, or feeling like joy is out of reach, this is for you. Joy isn’t a mood you chase or a mask you wear. Joy is Someone you know.

We’re looking back at the promises God spoke long before Bethlehem. This week, we begin A Story of Ancient Promises — and the fulfilment of those promises.   Our team has been preparing for this for some time — not to make the upcoming Christmas season bigger, but to help bring meaning and clarity. We don’t measure this season by numbers. We measure it by stories - stories of peace restored, joy rekindled, and hope rediscovere...

This week, we conclude our 'From Paper to Purpose' series with a vital reminder: God gets the glory.   In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul addresses a divided church that had begun to glorify people instead of God. Some followed Paul, others Apollos, but Paul brings everyone back to the truth: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.”   As we live out our shared purpose and values, we marvel at what God accomplishes and fi...

So many people come to faith communities carrying pain, exhaustion, or disillusionment from performance-based religion. This week, we return to the beginning — Genesis 1— to rediscover what God says about human worth. Before He gave humanity a task, He gave us identity. You are created in the image of God — valued and blessed before you ever “do” anything. Join us this Sunday as we explore how to build a community that values pe...

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 ...

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 Chris...

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.
