Christ is Risen!

This week is Palm Sunday, the day we celebrate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey. In this talk, we explore what Palm Sunday means to us.

This week, our Lenten journey explores the theme of humility. In a world where our popularity feels graded by the size of our platform and reach, the example of Jesus shows a different truth at the heart of the universe. 

This Sunday, we continue our Lent journey with the Desert Fathers and Mothers, exploring a counter-intuitive truth: that true wisdom can often look like foolishness to the world. Join us as we consider what it truly means to build our lives on the rock and what that means for church life today.

This Sunday, we will continue our Desert Mothers and Fathers series. We will explore the wilderness as a place of self-denial and unpack the dangers of materialism by focusing on the heavenly treasure Jesus talked about in his most famous sermon.

We continue our Lenten journey using Lectio 365 and 24/7 Prayer’s Desert Mothers and Fathers series. We’ll reflect on the practices of silence and solitude - exploring their relevance for our lives today, along with both the challenges they present and the fruit they can bear.

We join together with other churches around the world for the Lectio 365 and 24-7 Prayer's Desert Mothers and Fathers Lent series. The next forty days of Lent are a time to enter the wilderness with Christ, to push into prayer and deepen our spiritual formation. This talk is an intro to this six-week series leading up to Easter. You can watch the Desert Mothers and Fathers - Wisdom in the Desert v...

This week we wrap up our 'Songs of the Times' series with one final song. We will be looking at the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 and how we find our way home.

Jesus told His followers to pay attention to the signs of the times — to notice what was happening beneath the surface of culture. Today, one of the clearest signs of the times isn’t found in headlines; it’s found in our playlists. We’re beginning a new series called Songs of the Times. Each week, we’ll take a modern, secular song that’s resonating in our wider culture and ask what our songs say a...

For our first service of 2026, we take a look at the astonishing outcome when a bunch of fishermen invite Jesus onto their boat.

Listen in as we continue our Unexpected series in the lead up to Christmas.

We'll be unpacking Luke 1:26-38, where the angel Gabriel shockingly announces to Mary that she will give birth to Jesus. We'll be asking what it looks like for the 'Holy' to break into our lives.

Join us as we land our series on The Unhurried Heart. In this final talk, we look at the Great Commandment to love God and neighbour, exploring how we can make it a reality in our lives. 

The Unhurried Heart series continues as we explore the challenges of navigating grief and loss.

The Unhurried Heart series continues as we look to enrich our faith and our lives through contemplative practices. 

The Unhurried Heart series continues as we take a look at the importance of learning to live within limits in a world of hurry. 

The Unhurried Heart series continues as we take a look at how our past experiences shape our discipleship, and how the Holy Spirit wants to meet us with his love in our places of pain. 

The Unhurried Heart series continues as we take a look at knowing ourselves so that we may know God.

We are launching our new series The Unhurried Heart: Bringing our Inner World to God. Join us as we explore the vital connection between emotional and spiritual maturity and invite God to work within us.

Andrew Shamy is joining us as we wrap up this Season of Creation. In the face of our ecological crisis, many of us live with a deep sense of grief and fear. Yet as Christians, we are also called to a life of hope. How do we hold these together? 

Jess looks at what it means to be strong as a follower of Christ: in today's culture, in the context of our human weaknesses, and in reference to Paul's summary in 2 Corinthians 12.

Julia explores the themes of humility and pride, and how they impact our faith, relationships, and everyday lives.

This talk unpacks our church vision in light of wrapping up the Dear Church: Seven Letters to Seven Churches series.

With this talk, we wrap up our Dear Church series. We end up in Laodicea, in Revelation 3:14-22, the lukewarm church. We'll unpack what Jesus said to them and how we might guard against that in our own lives.
