Saint Mary's Talks and Podcasts

Jon shares on our Vision Sunday, using the story of Joshua as a template to help us reflect on the past 8 years of Saint Mary's, as well as look ahead to where God may be leading us next.

Katy kicks off our short 4 week vision series exploring one of the core values of our church: Worship. What does it mean to be worshippers? To encounter, respond and proclaim.

Sam takes us through 3 lessons from the life of Joshua, showing us how we too can begin to step further into the promises of God for our lives.

Sam shares on prayer to kick off our global week of prayer, exploring Jesus' encouragement to Ask, Seek and Knock.

This is the final in the series 'Exodus: Echoes of the Way.' Katy unpacks how the Temple points to what was, what is, and what is to come. This is the pattern God gives not just for us, but the whole of creation. We think about what it means to live according to this God given pattern, and not, as Paul says, according to the pattern of this age.

Sam continues our Exodus series, looking at Exodus 34:29-35, unpacking how the veil over Moses’ face showed that the glory of God was only partially revealed, until Jesus came and removed the veil, making the fullness of God’s glory accessible to us.

Owen continues our Exodus series by unpacking the most self-quoted verses in the Bible, Exodus 34:6-7, through which we gain a powerful insight into the enduring character of God.

Emily continues our Exodus series through the Golden Calf narrative in Exodus 32 & 33 – exploring themes of idolatry, mercy & intercession.

Chris continues our Exodus series through a pivotal moment in the story of Scripture: Sinai, where Moses receives the Law - God’s instruction for Israel - including the covenantal calling to become a “Kingdom of Priests."

Meg speaks on our Baptism Sunday about the joy of a life transformed by Jesus and the resurrection community he forms us into.

Meg continues our Exodus teaching series at our 6PM gathering, exploring the story of God's provision for Israel in the wilderness through daily bread.

This week Ali continues our Exodus teaching series at our morning gatherings, diving into the story of God's provision for Israel in the wilderness through daily bread.

Jon speaks on the famous Red Sea narrative, showing us how Israel’s deliverance is a reorientation of identity, desire, and faith. Yahweh moves His people from being used and dehumanised to being loved, led, and dignified, and where there is a temptation to return to the safety of the familiar, this passage calls us into risky, unknown obedience, inviting us to recognise our own “in-between” place...

Emily speaks on Try Church Sunday about the transformation power of the love of God.

Juliet continues our Exodus teaching series, showing us how the Passover teaches us what we are saved from, saved by and saved for.

Jon continues our series in Exodus by exploring the familiar yet complex passages that describe the 7 plagues Yahweh brings on Egypt and the hardening of Pharoah's heart, in which we ultimately find the answer to the question of "Where is God when it seems that evil is winning?"

Katy continues our Exodus teaching series by showing us how the pivotal narrative of Moses and the burning bush links back to the opening pages of Scripture, showing us how God turns places of wilderness to places of presence and encounter – a pattern ultimately fulfilled in Jesus.

Kicking off our new teaching series through the book of Exodus, Tom explores how the Exodus story echoes through the whole of Scripture - from Genesis to Revelation - until we meet the source of the sound in full volume on page one of the New Testament: Jesus of Nazareth.

On Pentecost Sunday, Katy concludes our teaching series on the gifts of the Spirit by looking at the often misunderstood and sometimes intimidating gift of Tongues - giving us an accessible How, What & Why, and encouraging us all to eagerly desire this powerful spiritual gift.

This week Emily takes us through not one specific but an overview of all the gifts, including those often given less attention like "helping", "administration" and "mercy". Here we see that we all have something to contribute as we play our part in the renewal of the city.

Sam speaks about healing, faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit, sharing personal testimonies alongside Jesus’ healings in Mark 5. He explores praying boldly for healing while learning to trust God in the tension of the “now and then” of His Kingdom.

Jon explores 1 Corinthians 14 as we look at the gift of prophecy.

Katy explores the what, why, and how of the gifts of the Holy Spirit; what they are, why they matter, and how we can begin to step into them in everyday life.

This week we begin our new six week teaching series on the gifts of the Spirit - So Much More/ Life in the Spirit. But before we consider the specific gifts, we spend some time in week one look at the gift giver, as Tom explores the foundational question of “Who is the Holy Spirit?"

Katy explores the encounter with Jesus on the road to Emmaus, inviting us to consider: do we see Jesus as we are, or as He truly is? What would life look like if we lived it through the lens of the resurrection?
