Sabbath 04 - Worship In Sabbath Part 4 we look at how sabbath isn’t just a day to stop, rest, and throw a feast in community — it’s a holy day set apart and dedicated to God himself. For many Western Christians, Sunday has become what Eugene Peterson called a “bastard Sabbath”–the illegitimate offspring of the Sabbath and a secular day off. Whether you practice Sabbath on Sundays, Saturdays, or an...

Sabbath 03 - Delight Sabbath is a day of rest by which we cultivate a spirit of restfulness in all of our life . In Sabbath part 3 John Herron looks at the third movement of Sabbath– delight. Jesus himself said plainly, “In this world, you will have trouble,” but he also said his desire for his disciples was “that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be full.” Sorrow is inevitable in this li...

Sabbath 02 - Rest Sabbath is a day of rest by which we cultivate a spirit of restfulness in all of our life . In Sabbath part 2 Stephanie Wilson explores the second movement of Sabbath–to rest. The idea of rest sounds wonderful, but in reality, rest is a radical, countercultural act of resistance to the powers and principalities of a world at war with God and his kingdom of peace. To practice Sabb...

Stephanie Wilson teaches on what it means to be church as family. Part of the series ‘What Kind of Church’ that explores the values that give shape to our community.

As followers of Jesus we invited to locate ourselves in a bigger story, the story of God. This is a story with ancient roots that is still unfolding, and we are invited to embody and live out. David Armstrong shares how the wisdom of this story tells us the road to the future actually runs through the past. These ancient paths lead us home to God’s presence, right where we belong. Part of the seri...

David Armstrong teaches on what it means to be a Jesus-Centred church. Jesus is the lens through which we see and understand everything. When we ask the question “what is God like?” we are peering into a mystery. But Jesus has made the mystery knowable, the invisible, visible. (Col 1). We believe Jesus shows us what God is like. He tells his disciples “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.” Jes...
