The Spirituality of Tears
This week our curate Anna speaks to us about the wordless groaning that comes when we engage with the brokenness of our world, and the numbness that comes when we bottle it up. Together we explore Psalm 126 and reflect on how Jesus longs to gift us His tears for us and for this world.
The Desires of Our Hearts
Taking hold of the desires God plants in our hearts comes from allowing God plants in our hearts comes from allowing God to take hold of us, and then He gives us what He has in mind. Our friend Steve Richardson joins us from Oregon, USA to share his heart with us.
All Things New: The Power of Prayer
Mark unpacks the promises in the final chapter of revelation, and speaks to us about how prayer can bring them into being.
All Things New: The Spirit In Us
This week Jonny speaks of the power that exists within us. We are commissioned to carry the Spirit of God within our broken minds, hearts and bodies wherever we go. What would it look like to focus on the treasure within the jar rather than the brokenness of the jar?
All Things New: New Creation
Continuing our series on Revelation, Lauren shares about the New Creation. The future time and place where there is no chaos, no distance, no pain and all things are new. She shows us that in Jesus Christ the New Creation has already come and as Christians we are invited to live in reality and invite others into that today.
Pentecost Sunday
This Pentecost Sunday, Jonny looks at Acts Two and speaks on what it means to long for the ministry of the Holy Spirit. He takes us through eight characteristics and indicators of the Spirit’s work, and calls us to open ourselves up to the possibility of the Holy Spirit moving powerfully today.
Signs and Symbols: The Man on the Horse
This week Amy unpacks this image: “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.” In revelation we see Jesus implement the victory of the cross, making all things nee and judging evil. Amy calls us to lean wholly into this truth, surrendering every part of our lives to the trustworthy and glorious Lordship of Christ.
Signs and Wonders: Part Three
Continuing our series on Revelation, Jo unpacks the series of ‘Sevens’ found across the book which highlight the level of resistance to God’s kingdom coming in fullness. Together we explore God’s judgement on evil and the part the church has to play in contending for the Kingdom of God to come.
Signs and Wonders: Part Two
This week Jonny describes the dangers of Babylon depicted in Revelation, and explains the way in which Babylon remains as real as it ever was - surrounding us in our world today. Our world is not one centred on God, and in order to follow Him we must become acutely aware of the places devoid of HIs presence.
Costly Worship
This week we take a short break from our Revelation series and explore together what it means to bring costly worship before God. We read the story of the woman and the alabaster jar, and in a service flipped on its head Jonny and Amy share with us their heart and their dream for the coming season.
Signs and Wonders: Part One
We are excited to be entering into a four-part mini-series on the most significant signs and wonders in the book of Revelation. We kick off this week as Mark unpacks the story of the woman and the dragon, a profound image of the power of the devil as well as the all-consuming power of Christ which overcomes.
Deeply Known
This week Beth shares some thoughts on Jesus’ last interaction with Peter in the Gospel of John. In spite of our deepest sin, we are deeply known. Each and every one of us is called to follow the path that Jesus has laid out for us, no matter what condition we’re in.
Easter Sunday
He is risen! On Easter Sunday we gather at Trinity to celebrate the truth and joy of Jesus’ resurrection, and we remind ourselves that we too, are called into resurrection life. Jonny unpacks this for us through the story of Lazarus.
Revelation: Lamb on the Throne
This week Amy unpacks Revelation 5. From the agony of John’s longing for someone to reveal God’s plan, to the joy of the Lamb’s victory, Amy calls us to lean in to the powerful weakness of not being in control - all for the glory of God and the extension of His kingdom.
Revelation: A Vision of Worship
This week we read Revelation 4 together, in which John describes an image he has of the throne room of God. Jonny explores how these verses reflect a true depiction of what it is to worship God.
Revelation: Laodicea
This week Amy Jones speaks to us about Jesus’ message to the church in Laodicea. In this final letter, Jesus speaks of how He despises the Church’s lukewarm faith. Amy explores this accusation of self-sufficiency and describes the beauty of the open door of dependence which Jesus lovingly invites to walk through in faith.
Revelation: Philadelphia
This week we explore together the letter to the Philadelphians. Mark unpacks for us how Jesus redefines Holiness with a radical invitation to the church. Here Holiness is depicted not as a standard of perfection to be attained but rather as an open door into which He gracefully invites us to walk into - the door into His presence. In the profound beauty of His agape love He invites us to sit at His feet and simply enjoy being with Him.
Revelation: Sardis
This week Jonny unpacks the letter to the church in Sardis in Revelation 3. He calls us to guard ourselves against sleep-walking through our faith - this season is a time to wake up to the active reality of God and His Kingdom.
Revelation: Thyatira
This week we read Jesus’ message to the Church in Thyatira, in which He affirms their faith and perseverance, but calls them out on their obedience to the “spirit of Jezebel”. Jonny unpacks what Jezebel represents and how true fullness comes when we accept Jesus’ call us to follow Him and Him alone.
Lent: Jesus in the Wilderness
As we approach Lent as a church family, Amy camps out in Matthew 4, unpacking Jesus’ victory over the devil in the wilderness. The beauty of this passage is that Jesus has gone before us, we can lean on Him as our source of strength and vitality as we learn to depend on His unfailing, irrevocable love with our whole lives.
