Why the Kingdom matters so much is because our salvation is not just about 'me'.   In this message Kim talks compares the two different kingdoms (satan's and God's) and calls us to be part of the advance of God's Kingdom. It's when we love others that we get to live our best life.

The way of Jesus is more than a philosophy of life, a moral system or a list of do's and don'ts. It is a way of life where we apprentice to Jesus, where we live The Way. The Sermon on the Mount will lead us to a life long journey that sees us transformed into a people of love.

In this message Trent looks at the author of suffering (satan), the Redeemer of our suffering (Jesus) and the Redemption of our suffering. The Biblical story does not dignify our suffering in the present but promises to bring about its decisive defeat in the end.

Here Trent highlights that the Christian life is not about keeping a set of rules but about being transformed. As we work out our salvation (a command from scripture) its about the recovery of the divine nature we have lost. In this message we see that following Jesus looks like growing in faith, hope and especially love.

In this introduction to our upcoming Sermon on the Mount series, Trent expounds on what it means to live the Jesus Way. We are not just believers but called to live a lifestyle. The gospel cannot be reduced to just receiving Jesus as personal Saviour, as important as that is. We are called to proclaim the new birth and demonstrate the new Kingdom. Salvation is becoming the kind of person God inten...

In this message Kevin highlights 4 things every disciple should know as it relates to vocation, adoption, location and invitation.

In the western world it can be hard to depend on God as we have so many things propping us up. Here Kim looks like what it means to be poor in spirit, that we might depend on God for all our needs.

The new way of knowing God through the glory of the incarnation

John tells us that the true light which enlightens everyone has come into the world. The light shines in the darkness will not overcome it. In Isaiah's day the days were coming. With the coming of Christ the days have now arrived.

The Word joined us in humanity that we might have power to become the sons and daughters of God. What Jesus Christ is by nature, we are called to become by grace.

We don't have to win a war or win an election for the Kingdom of God to come among us. The Kingdom of God does not come by bullets or ballots; it comes by the Cross of Christ. Our task is to be a community formed around the Crucified One - a community of grace and love where each of us takes up our cross to follow the Lamb

Salvation looks like being led out through the sea, freed from bondage. God sees, hears, cares.

Between the house of bondage and the land of milk and honey there is a wilderness. The wilderness is a necessary part of the journey of faith.  Just as Christ was the rock in the dessert that brought forth water, Jesus will be with us and give us water for our souls.

There is one continual plan of salvation that began long ago and culminated in Jesus. Jesus came to fulfill what the law and the prophets had tried and failed to do. He brought a new law - the law of love.

When we bring our wounds to Jesus it initiates our healing. With joy we can draw water from the springs of salvation

The book of Revelation is all about making fully known the person and plan of Jesus for the redemption of mankind. In it we see the establishment of the new covenant and the kingdom of God. The entire book of Revelation reminds us that Jesus is on the throne. This second week focusses on chapter 13-22 and a victorious church, the Bride of Christ, who following the death of her first husband (the o...

No one looms larger in the story of the first Testament than Moses. Moses the deliverer, Moses the lawgiver, Moses the man who talked face to face with God, Moses the man who went toe-to-toe with Pharaoh. But at midlife Moses was none of these things. He was only a forgotten figure with a scandalous past; a former prince in Pharaoh’s court who was now a fugitive working for his father-in-law in th...

The book of Revelation is all about making fully known the person and plan of Jesus for the redemption of mankind. In it we see the establishment of the new covenant and the kingdom of God. This first week focusses on chapter 1-12 and a victorious Jesus who has already defeated and disempowered the enemy, satan.

Joseph was used by God to bring salvation to the house of Israel, with obvious parallels to Jesus. 

Jesus is the second Adam who comes in search of the lost Adam. In Christ all will be made alive.

Noah means "He will comfort us in sorrow. We see Jesus as the One who brings comfort. We see Jesus in the flood with our guilty consciences washed away in Baptism. And we see Jesus in the ark - Jesus is the ark that carries us from the old world to the new.

The Abrahamic blessing is realised in Jesus. Jesus is the seed of Abraham. Abraham was searching. He was looking for Jesus, for the Kingdom of God. The church is that City.
