The cross of Good Friday was a picture of utter irony. Instead of a throne, this King is lifted up on a cross to be crucified. Instead of adulation and cries of “Long live the King”, the bloodthirsty crowd cries out, “Crucify Him”. Instead of a crown of glory, a crown of thorns was twisted together, and set on His head. Yet the irony reveals a deeper truth. A truth that is cherished by those who s...

The season of Lent is like the Israelites' long season in the wilderness, where they confronted the stark realities of scarcity, vulnerability, and their own sin. Lent invites us to look at what we'd rather avoid--the barren and broken places in our own hearts. The gift in that is that it can clear the way for a deepened trust in God. Jesus picked up this stark, strange story in Numbers to describ...

In this season of Lent, many of us may grapple with different temptations. Alvin shares from Matthew 4:1-11 on the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, how these temptations remain relevant in our modern lives, and how we can navigate them today. Matthew 4:1-11

In this sermon, Mark explores how finding rest in Christ becomes the unexpected key to transformation in your life. Matthew 11:25-30

When people think of new year’s resolutions, they often think of actions (e.g. eat less sugar, exercise more regularly). But Romasn 12 offers us a different perspective emphasising on the importance of beginning any transformation with the renewal of the mind. Leon unpacks how the revival of our being can then impact our doing – not just on the level of the individual but to impact society and the...

God was born one of us that first Christmas. Miles asks why he came, why ‘The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us’, and what this means for us. John 1:1-14

Do you ever wonder what your calling is? What you were made for? God has a plan for every person he created. When He made you, He knew you and He knew what He made you for. But regardless of our specific callings, there is above it, an indisputable, general call to all his children. And that is the call to holiness. God wants you and me to be holy. In this message, we explore the story of Moses an...
