Vision Sunday: The Cost
Continuing on our series on Vision: Jonny preaches on the feeding of the five thousand. Jesus says to the Disciples “you give them something to eat.” Jonny relates this to the fact that the resources of the kingdom of God are often in our hands. Financial generosity is an essential part of our personal discipleship, the life of the church and the advance of the kingdom of God.
Vision Sunday: Let us go somewhere else
Continuing in our series on Vision: This week our guest speaker Bishop Paul Williams preaches from Mark 1:29-39.
Trust and Surrender
The last words of Jesus on the cross were ones of trust and surrender. How can we live with the same posture?
Devotion Led by Grace
This week Amy speaks to us about the woman at Jesus’ feet. She shares some of her story, and unpacks the devotion we see from the woman led by the grace that Jesus offers.
Redeeming the Past
This week Jonny shares some of his story with us, and speaks about the power of unpacking past narratives to unlock present freedom.
Intercession
The next few weeks will involve Jonny and Amy sharing their sense of what God is doing amongst our church family in this time. This week Amy shares with us her heart for intercession, something we can see spreading across our congregation in powerful ways, and encourages with tools that can help us lean in.
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.
