Isaiah 12:1-6. Christians do some strange things, including sing every week. Why do we sing so much? And what sort of songs should we sing? This week we look at a song in the book of Isaiah that has much to say on these questions.

Isaiah 11:1-10. How can Christians claim to know what THE afterlife will be like? This week we examine a few common views of the afterlife and how they stack up against God’s vision for the future. Join us as Andrew unpacks this immensely encouraging passage from Isaiah.

What can change the world? Everyone has an opinion, but what will bring lasting change? We’re going back in time to see how the world in Isaiah’s era needed changing just as much as ours does. The answer God gave them is the same one we need today. Listen in as Dan unpacks Isaiah 9:1-7 and shows us how and when true change will come.

It’s one thing to say “there’s nothing to fear.” But how does this fit with the command to “fear the Lord”? And how does this actually help us to live? Dan takes us through Isaiah 8:11-22 to show us the answer.

Why do I need to dwell on the bad news? Bad news is not always nice to dwell on, but embracing the bad news is the only way to the good news! We will see in Isaiah 6, that God's people need to understand the bad news in order to turn back to God and receive the good news of his mercy and grace. But how will they respond to the bad news? Listen along as Ethan unpacks the next section of Isaiah with...

What do you do with someone when they don’t want to change? This is the predicament we face when we look at Israel in Isaiah 2-4. Only God can shift the pride they’re stuck in. But how will he do it? And how will he change us when we don’t want to change? Listen along as Dan unpacks the next section of Isaiah with us.

In Isaiah 2, God shows Isaiah his plan to bring a flood of people to know and worship him, streaming in from every nation on earth. How must this vision of the future shape the way we live?

We begin our time in Isaiah 1-12 by hearing God speak to his people. Israel has been mired in sin for centuries. What does God have to say to them in their sin? And what does he say to us when we’re stuck in patterns of rebellion? Join us as Dan unpacks Isaiah 1:1-20, the actual words of God himself, who speaks with both shocking severity and surprising intimacy.

God is the Definition of Beautiful yet Not Physical and Infinitely Strong and Able to Infinitely Strength

Continuing on from our series of Encouragement for Evangelism, guest speaker Andrew Hayes brings us a sermon from John 4:1-42 titled ‘Jesus The Evangelist’. We explore how Jesus is the one who truly knows us, and still wants us to know Him, that He is the one who gives everlasting water to quench our spiritual thirst, and is the one who leads us to worship the Father.

Continuing on from our series of Encouragement for Evangelism, guest speaker Ben Lattimore brings us a sermon on ‘The Heart of Mission’. Preaching from the word of Jonah and Matthew we understand that we must first understand God’s mercy in order to carry out the mission of sharing his heart.

How can we bring the gospel to a culture that has moved so far from God? In Acts 17, God gives us a model through Paul’s preaching. Listen in as Ethan shows us how we can take clear steps to share the gospel without watering it down.

We’re beginning a new series that’s all about ‘encouragement for evangelism.’ How do we grow in courage, wisdom and faithfulness when it comes to sharing the gospel? First up, Dan shows us how John’s vision in Revelation 7 gives us a bigger scope for life.

This week we see Jesus aim his crosshairs at hypocrisy. It’s the reason some fall away from the faith, and the reason others never consider it at all. Why is hypocrisy so damaging, and where does it come from? Trace through Matthew 23 with us as we learn from Jesus together.

Perspectives on Jesus abound. But who is Jesus, really? What does he claim about himself and what does that mean for us today? Listen to how Jesus uses one of the most important parts of the Old Testament to show us his true identity.

The Old Testament Law - should we ignore it, obey it, or do something else with it? Jesus gives us an answer that’s both simple and deep. Open up to Matthew 22 and see how he recalibrates our entire lives around what really matters.

Death is a ‘taboo topic.’ Most of us find it unbearable to talk about. How can we face death with greater hope and confidence? What does this have to do with Easter? Join us as we trace through 1 Peter 1:3-9, which recalibrates our entire approach to life and death.

Many Aussies find Christianity offensive these days. But most people miss the real reason to be offended by what Scripture says. It has a lot to do with Good Friday. What should really offend us, and what do we do about it? Listen along as we answer these questions from Romans 5.

Plenty of Aussies think the idea of an ‘afterlife’ is ridiculous. But why do people really reject it? And how is the resurrection good news? Dive into this confrontation between Jesus and the Sadducees with Dan to find out why.

What do we do when there’s a conflict between God and government? Jesus gives us a clear but challenging answer that is as relevant today as it was in the first century. Follow along in Matthew 22 as Dan unpacks it with us.

This week our guest preacher Doctor Ian Maddock is preaching through 2 Timothy 3:10-17, teaching on how all Scripture is God Breathed. What a wonderful truth, that all of scripture is inspired, inerrant, and sufficient.

Jesus continues confronting the religious leaders, this time with a story about an invitation. This parable contains three twists, each one challenging both them and us with the reality of what it means to enter God’s kingdom.

Why do many people reject Jesus? It isn’t just for rational or evidence-based reasons. Often, there are other factors at play. Follow along with Dan as we examine the religious leaders’ attitude towards Christ in Matthew 21:23-46, seeing why people really reject Jesus.
