Pentecost was a moment in which a group of men and women were radically empowered by the Holy Spirit. It was a moment of heaven-earth intersection, a moment God's presence fell upon and filled his temple - a temple made of living stones sanctified by Jesus himself! On Pentecost Sunday James explored Pentecost in light of God's presence and what that means for us as the People of God today.

For the first Christians, Jesus’ ascension into heaven was hugely important but we typically don’t give it much thought today. Listen as James dives into what happened when Jesus moved into the heavenly realm to rule and reign over all things and how this impacts our lives today.

On Mothers Day Rosemary chaired a panel with a focus on motherhood but with something for everyone - mother, son, father, daughter - we pray you’ll be blessed as you listen.

In this talk we look at how the Christian message of Christ’s resurrection helps us understand our Christian hope in light of the experience of suffering and death.

God wants us to live and to have eternal life. This means that the marks of death must be removed from us - the only way is through Jesus who separates our sin from us as far as the east is from the west. Repentance is the journey towards restoration and eternal life in him!

Baptism - more than a tradition, it's a command. It's a biblical and spiritually powerful way to symbolize your decision to follow Christ.

In a life where we are on a journey that can include anxiety and doubt, sometimes mundane and/or painful realities and unknown futures, moments with Jesus become our sustenance, feeding our hungry hearts, bringing life to our bones, hope to our hearts, breath to our lungs and strength to go on.

In our 21st century culture we can miss the subtle messages in Jesus' interactions with people 2000 years ago - and we miss seeing other dimensions of God. Listen as Dave dives into the sacrament of communion and how it reveals to us the incredible love of Jesus for us.

Weddings are about new beginnings, but beforehand comes preparation. In this talk James digs into John 2 which reveals to us dimensions of what Jesus has done, what he is doing and what he will do.

We go towards what we love. For Christians this means gravitating towards Jesus - which results in us gathering and being the ecclesia (the church). Listen as James unpacks why we should value gathering and the blessing that flows from being centred on Jesus.

In this talk Matt discusses the Resurrection as presented in the New Testament, how that relates to the Church as the Bride of Christ, and what that means for our Prayer Ministry time in church.

What's the point of a sermon in our church services? Why listen to someone talking about the Bible each week? Ultimately it's about hearing Jesus' speaking to us. Listen as Zoë digs into "why" of a sermon and how to listen well.

True worship is a posture of loving surrender at the feet of the High King of Heaven, who loves us with death-defeating love. Showing him what his worth is to us means laying down our entire lives in an ongoing act of sacrifice. In this message James talks about how it's in the place of sacrifice and surrender that we will discover the fullness of life in him that we long for.

Throughout the Bible the people of God are often described as the bride of God. We are being prepared for the most epic wedding that all of heaven is anticipating - the marriage of the church to Jesus Christ. In this message James explores the massive implications of this future wedding for how we live our lives and how we "do" church now.

He knew us, knows us and will always know us as his children. Nothing can separate us from His love.

We are created to be carriers of God’s glory and to manifest his glory in creation. But what does’ glory’ mean? And how do we bear his glory in our lives? Listen as James scratches the surface of the word Glory, and dives into Romans 8:18-30.

Despite the Dad jokes Romans 8 is no joke. What does it mean to say there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ? Matt reflects on what it means for the year ahead

The beginning of the year is a chance to make first things first. How should we prioritise our lives? In this message James looks at Psalm 46 and God's instruction to "Be still and know that I am God".

At Christmas we celebrate the incarnation - in Jesus God is made flesh. It's also a time of hope for the future moment when King Jesus will return again in the ultimate prophetic fulfillment.

Jesus is called the light of the world - a light to reveal God to the nations. In this message Tessa unpacks the ways that Jesus brings illumination in our lives and in the world.

Whena and Caleb wrap up our series focused on Jesus' instruction for life in Matthew 6 "to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you"

Followers of Jesus see things differently. With our eyes fixed on God and his advancing Kingdom events and situations have meaning far beyond what we normally see. How do we begin to see things differently? In this talk, James focuses on thankfulness and choosing to thank God, which helps us to trust him and orients our outlook towards him.
