Text: Galatians 1:11-2:10 (Evening Service) Speaker: Bryan Hassler Have you ever wanted to say something, but couldn’t get the words out to speak? Or maybe you’ve felt afraid at the idea of telling someone the truth. For many of us, this fear finds it’s peak at the thought of sharing the gospel. It’s the kind of fear that keeps us silent, as friends, family members, and co-workers continue on with...

Text: 1 John 1:1-4 (Morning Service) Speaker: James Martin This morning we’re beginning our new series in 1 John, called “Uncommon Community.” Our aim is to uncover what it is that makes the church community different, marked, distinct, and uncommon. We’ll begin by studying the first 4 verses and asking ourselves: What is it that marks the uncommon community? What is it that makes the church commu...

Text: Galatians 1:1-10 (Evening Service) Speaker: Ben Greeves The apostle Paul is a straight-talker and that aspect of his character hits you as soon as you start reading the book of Galatians. This evening we’re going to be starting our sermon series by looking at the first ten verses of chapter one and discovering why Paul felt it was so important, so urgent, for him to get straight to the point...

Text: Ephesians 2:1-10 (Morning Service) Speaker: James Martin Have you ever wished you could go back in time? I’m sure many of us wish we could. For some it might be to witness a key moment in history, but for others it’d would be to undo a mistake that haunts us to this day. This morning we’re going to be thinking about the giant of guilt, and specifically, the kind of guilt that says, “How coul...

Text: James 1:1-8 (Morning Service) Speaker: James Martin Today’s Giant is one we all know and experience; it’s part of being a human: Temptation. This morning, we’re going to be studying James 1:13-18 and we’ll explore James’ clear and concise strategy for thinking about and tackling the complex issue of Temptation. How do we face the Giant of Temptation? Let’s explore James’ 3-part strategy toge...

Text: Psalm 25 (Morning Service) Speaker: James Martin Loneliness is recognised by many as an epidemic sweeping the Western world. Most of us know what it feels like to be misunderstood by people, disconnected from people and not fully known by others. So, is there hope for the lonely heart? Thankfully, yes there is. This morning we’re going to study Psalm 25, written by a man who knew loneliness...

Text: Colossians 3:18-4:1 (Morning Service) Speaker: Pastor James This Sunday we’re thinking about the Giant of Purposelessness. You might not think it’s a giant you face. But do you ever look at Christians doing the ‘real’ work for Jesus and then look at yourself and think, “I don’t live like that. Sadly, my life is pretty normal with plenty of normal, everyday responsibilities and routines.” If...

Text: Matthew 6:25-34 (Morning Service) Speaker: James Martin This morning we are continuing to look at the Giants we face. Today, it’s one that plagues all of us - whether we like to admit it or not - and it’s one that can turn up, completely uninvited, without warning. We’re going to be thinking about anxiety and we’ll be studying Jesus’ words from Matthew 6.

Text: Hebrews 2:14-16 (Morning Service) Speaker: Peter Mason As the sun finally peeks out in May and the flowers are blooming, death might seem like a far-distant problem that’s miles away from us this morning. But, the writer of Hebrews suggests that it’s an ever-present fear that binds our actions, conversations, and everyday lives in a sort of slavery. Today we’re going to explore whether death...

Text: 1 Samuel 17 (Morning Service) Speaker: James Martin We face Giants. Facing them in our lives is not a question of ‘if’ but a question of ‘when’- facing Giants is a given, right? But what happens when we don’t have it within ourselves to overcome them? What happens when we need courage but don’t know where to go to find it? This morning, we’re going to explore one of the Bible’s most famous s...

Text: Habakkuk 3 (Morning Service) Speaker: Peter Mason We come to our 3rd and final instalment of the prophet Habakkuk. We live in a broken world in need of healing and restoration, and Habakkuk has proven to be a helpful guide, teaching us the language of lament in times of pain, and the language of “woe” in times of trouble. Today we look at the language of remembrance as we consider how to mov...

Text: Habakkuk 2 (Morning Service) Speaker: Peter Mason

Text: Habakkuk 1 (Morning Service) Speaker: Peter Mason This Sunday we are beginning a new series on the book of Habakkuk. An obscure Old Testament prophet who questions God about the impending doom of Judah seems like an odd way to start 2018. But if you have ever wanted to ask God difficult questions, struggled voicing deep doubt and confusion in the midst of all the perplexity this world offers...

Text: Galatians 4 (Morning Service) Speaker: James Martin Before we jump into our Advent Series next week, let’s have just one more morning exploring some of the rediscoveries made 500 years ago during the Reformation. This morning, we’re going to be thinking about one of the most intensely personal aspects of our faith. It’s one that is seldom contemplated, but nonetheless massively important. Jo...
