It's vital that leaders in the church keep growing. 1 Timothy 4:6-10 shows us two ways in which Pastors must do that, and the same is true for every Christian. Join us as we hear the Lord encourage and challenge us to keep becoming more like Jesus.

Every Christian knows someone who used to be a Christian. Why do people fall away from the faith? How can we make sure it doesn't happen to us? 1 Timothy 4:1-5 shows us how to avoid apostasy, by discerning the enemy's deception.

Every man and his dog has an opinion about what the church should be like! Here in 1 Timothy 3:14-16, God shows us his intention for the church. Join us as we come back to basics, focusing on the church's master, mission and message.

Last week, we saw the role of Elders in the church. This week we move on to Deacons. What is a Deacon, anyway? It’s not a word we use in everyday life. But as we’ll see, Deacons are crucial to the healthy ministry of the local church. That’s why they have to be men and women of godly character.

Pastors rank as one of the least trusted professions in the world today. The reputation of Jesus is at stake. This is why, in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, God shows us what he requires of leaders in the church. Join us as we look at nine main qualifications for Pastors and Elders.

How can Christians say that “God is one” AND that “God is three”? Isn’t that a contradiction? Many people think you can resolve it with an analogy: God is like a three leafed clover, or an egg! But analogies don’t just let us down - they potentially lead us to heresy. So how should we think about God being both one and three? Join us for Trinity Sunday, as we see how the often overlooked doctrine...

The Bible has some difficult things to say about men and women. But what if we paid more attention to our differences? This week we’ll consider what it means to be men and women in the church. Maybe you’ve had questions about 1 Timothy chapter 2, and hopefully today’s message gives you clarity on these often misunderstood verses.

If Australians are famous for one thing, it’s loving our government. Maybe not! But how should Christians think about the government? What should our posture be towards them? 1 Timothy 2:1-7 makes this question a priority for us, whatever we might think. We’ll see that Christians must do good for the government, especially by praying for them. And yet this is about more than just upholding those i...

What’s your testimony? From your perspective, what does it mean to be a Christian? If you want to join a decent church, someone will ask you that question. A non-christian friend might even be curious! How would you answer them? This week we look at Paul’s testimony in 1 Timothy 1:12-20, and consider how it sets the tone for every genuine Christian’s testimony.

We’d all like to think we can spot a scam phone call or email, but even smart people fall for them. So too, false teachers pose a huge threat in the church. How can we face false teachers and their different doctrine? Paul shoes us how in 1 Timothy 1:3-11

This week we start a new series in 1 Timothy. Why should we read this letter today? What is it about and why does it still matter? Join us as we see how much 1 Timothy has to mean to every church.

Today, guest preacher Duncan Sutherland is asking us to search out the idols in our heart as he explores the account of God testing Abraham in Genesis 22. Where does your love and loyalty belong?

Christians believe that God is the source of all righteousness. But what does this mean for our world? How does a righteous God respond to sin? How can we be made righteous? Join us as we pick up the Psalms again and see what Psalm 7 has to tell us about the righteousness of God.

Christians celebrate the news of Jesus’ resurrection every year on Easter Sunday. But what kind of news is it? Is it true news? Is it impactful news? What does it actually mean for our everyday lives, and for the life to come? Join us this Easter as we see what 1 Corinthians 15 has to tell us about this incredible news.

Today, this Good Friday 2026, we are going to examine the days leading up to Jesus’ death on the cross. We will see how everyone’s sin leaves Jesus abandoned to face the cross alone. But despite this, Jesus is resolute in his love for us, and in his obedience to the father and dies on that cross. God’s perfect Justice, God’s perfect love, to redeem a people for himself, to the praise of his glorio...

No sooner does humanity fall into sin than we see the first murder. Cain kills his own brother. Where did this come from? In Genesis 4, we see that sin goes straight to the heart. It infects us at the deepest possible level. But God’s plan is to heal our sinful hearts in the deepest possible way.

Why do we do things we regret? Why do we sin? It all goes back to the first humans ever to live, and their failure to handle God’s word - just like us. By looking at the fall of humanity, we learn of the hope for humanity. And in so doing, we see how to be honest about ourselves, find forgiveness for our sin, and learn to live differently. Join us in Genesis 3:1-7 this week.

Please join us as Arthur preaches on Psalm 13. Hope in the Midst of Sadness, learning from David in Psalm 13.

The Bible makes some huge claims about marriage - that it should be between one man and one woman, and be a lifelong commitment. These ideas might seem out of date, but they’re both wise and good, as we see in Genesis 2. Join us as we see what’s so good about God’s design for marriage.

Does it ever feel like life is robbing us of our humanity? We eat, work, sleep our days away – surrounded by constant noise telling us to “consume.” We’re less connected than ever. It’s sometimes said that we live in an ‘inhuman world’ – but how can we recover what the world means to take away? What does it mean to be truly human in an inhuman world? Genesis 2 shows us that the key to discovering...

Genesis chapter 1 is probably the most famous chapter in the Bible. But what is it really about? Is it an ancient myth? A scientific argument? This week we begin a series on Genesis chapters 1-11. And just like every passage we’ll read along the way, this one is all about who God really is.

Psalm 5 shows us the increasing weight of evil bending David's back. We, too, can feel the weight of injustice, selfishness and destruction in the world around us. But we also feel it in our own souls. What is God's answer to evil in the world, and in ourselves? Find out as we dwell on Psalm 5 together

Life is hard. But sometimes we wonder if our hardships show that God's abandoned us. Am I really saved? How can I have assurance, no matter what's happening? Psalm 3 shows us how David faced this situation with confidence in the God of the covenant. As we learn from him, we see the even greater covenant that God has made us in Christ.
