Our Senior Minister, Nigel, helps us see how good it is to have God wanting to come near us. Exodus has had much to offer, and the prospect of someone wanting to know us, to be with us, and to love us is beautiful. Let alone, when that person is the God who is in control of the entire universe! This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 16 June 2023.

Jesus gave his life for us, so what should we do with what we have (or don't have!)? Luke helps us unpack the 8th commandment to show God's people how we ought to be living. This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 11 June 2023.

As we comprehend just how BIG and GLORIOUS and HOLY God is, we realise we fall so far short of this. And so how could this huge God relate to us? Well join us as Em takes us through Exodus 24. This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 29 June 2023.

That title got you, didn't it. The world we live in is super complex, especially when it comes to sex and sexuality. Often, what God has to say about sex (which is a really good thing, by the way) is almost directly opposed to the other messages we're hearing. So what does God have to say, and what is the good news for people today? Join us for Commandment number 7, "You shall not com...

It's really important how we live, and there are links between who we are and then how we act! God gives a bunch of commands here in Exodus, but not after having said that Israel are his people and having saved them. The 10 Commandments are a great picture of what it looks like to live as God's saved people, so join us in Exodus 19-20! This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 2 June 20...

Ticking the boxes is something that's so easy for us to do. It can be easy to follow rules, but not actually care. So when God calls us to "not murder", it's not just not killing people, but rather not murdering in our hearts. This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 28 May 2023.

God has just saved his people, so what is their immediate response? GRUMBLING! They'd rather still be in slavery in Egypt. Join us as Brodie unpacks Exodus 16 and sees God be kind to his people. This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 26 May 2023.

It is so hard to love our parents, isn't it! Even when we know they mean well, sometimes they just don't get it! Ben helpfully helps us see that honouring our earthly parents is a great way to honour our heavenly Father, even if that can be complex! This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 21 May 2023.

What is God famous for? Even if you've never been to church before, what would you say is the thing that God has done that he's famous for? Well in this part of Exodus, we see that he's famous for actually destroying his enemies and saving his people. And there's so much more that he is famous for. Have a listen a hear out how... This talk was given at Junior High on Sunday 19 May...

There is SO much in life that can make us feel overwhelmed. School, work, family life, keeping up with friends, church; all of these things are good, but hard. But God has commanded his people to rest because it is best for them, and gives us Jesus to be where we find ultimate rest. This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 14 May.

Exodus has been super exciting so far, and now in Exodus 12 we will see that, somehow, a lamb getting killed means that God's people can be saved. And escape the enemy. Listen to what Pete has to say as he opens the Bible and shows us how a baby sheep can change everything for you. This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 12 May 2023.

As we keep heading on in our series in the 10 commandments, Josh Irving helps us see that honouring the name of the Lord doesn't just involve what we do (and don't) say, but shapes our entire lives. This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 7 May 2023.

The God of the universe is much more powerful than his enemies, even than the gods of Egypt. Join us at Junior High to continue with what's happening as God rescues his people in the book of Exodus! This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 5 May 2023.

As we hit Commandment number 2 at Senior High, we're struck with the call to not make for ourselves images to worship. Because God, the creator, is worthy of all our worship and praise. This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 30 April.

Join us as Jamie starts our Junior High series in the book of Exodus with a bang, looking at the holiness of God and how he has a plan to rescue his people. This talk was given at Senior High on Friday 28 April

Join us as we start our series at Senior High in the 10 Commandments. Given in Exodus 20, the 10 commandments are a really significant part of the life of God's people in the Old Testament, and we're looking forwards to seeing how these words shape the lives of God's people today, who have been rescued from slavery to sin. This week, Josh gives us a bit of context to the 10 Commandment...

As we finish off Revelation, we get to have a picture of what is to come forever: God being with his people. Join us as Ben finishes off our GAME OVER series looking at Revelation 21:1-8 This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 19 March.

What do you think heaven will be like? Join us as Emily Streeter dives into Revelation 21:1-8 and a look ahead at what the certain future hope we have to come will be! This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 17 March 2023.

Revelation is massive and has some seemingly crazy things going on, but the main message is clear; Jesus has won, and so hold onto him and endure. Join us as we trek through 8 chapters of Revelation (But particularly 13, 19 and 20) as we think a bit about why perseverance is important, and how to do it! This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 17 March 2023.

Revelation is all about the victory of Jesus, and we see this here in Revelation 12! Join guest preacher Josh Sawyer as he unpacks a weird passage with dragons, floods, and a baby that wins! This talk was given at Junior High on Friday 10 March 2023.

It can be hard to stand up for what you believe in, especially when it seems like everyone is against you. God knows this, and as he calls his people to life for Jesus and witness to them, he recognises that it can be hard and he gives hope and encouragement to keep going.

We're getting into the pointy end of Revelation now, as we look at the 7 seals of the scroll the Lamb is opening. Luke takes us through these, and gives a gripping picture of the judgement you and I deserve. Fortunately though, this judgement is under the control of God, and he has worked to seal and protect his people. This talk was given at Senior High on Friday 24 Feb 2023.

Revelation 4-5 has a spectacular picture into the throne room of God. Join us as Rach unpacks some of the things from this section of Revelation, and as God challenges us to worship him for his work in creation and salvation. This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 12 Feb 2023.

Revelation 2-3 has a section of the Lord Jesus addressing 7 different churches in Asia in the 1st century. Fortunately, it's not just messages for these guys back then but are encouragements and challenges for us 2000 years later, as we seek to live as Jesus' church. We did things a little differently this week, and so if you'd like to follow along, pick one (or all!) of the 7 churches from Revela...
