There are times in our walk with God when we don’t get the answers we seek. It can feel as though God is silent. How we respond in these moments is vitally important. What we do while we wait help us grow or can contribute to atrophy. Listen on as Jenny explores what it means to lean in and trust Him, even when He seems silent.

Stillness can be hard. Especially when our minds are constantly conditioned to being entertained within a second on social media. The amount of noise in our life and the speed at which it comes can be overwhelming. And all the while, God is whispering to us. How do we distinguish His voice through all the distraction? Join Brendon Walmsley for this sermon as he continues our series ‘Discerning God...

We live in a world filled with noise, busyness, and distractions, making it difficult to discern God’s voice.

In this sermon Ross begins our new series, Discerning God, by exploring what it means to listen for His still, small voice. If you enjoyed this sermon please consider subscribing.

When the people of Israel were exiled to Babylon, they received a surprising and challenging message from God through the prophet Jeremiah. Despite their desired rebellion, Jeremiah’s letter calls them to settle in the city, seek its welfare, and pray for its peace. Instead of resisting or withdrawing, they were called to live faithfully and bless the place where they had been sent. In this sermon...

Jesus said “I will build my church”, and we have the great privilege of partnering with him to achieve this!

Why bother with Church? After all, there are many other things you could be doing on a Sunday morning. Perhaps someone on your frontline has asked just that question. Or you’ve wondered if it’s become ‘just a habit .’ So, why make gathering with other Christians a priority? In this sermon guest speaker Murray Wright will help us think about this important question as 2025 begins! If you enjoyed th...

We are so close to Christmas—it’s just around the corner! The gift we celebrate together at Christmastime is more than just 'nice'; it’s miraculous.

In this sermon Jenny shares a powerful message encouraging us to remember the miraculous gift we were given...

When the angels appeared to the shepherds that first Christmas, they spoke of a promise of peace. However, when we look at the world around us, and perhaps even within our own relationships and in our own lives, there can at times be an overwhelming sense of restlessness, discontent, discomfort and instability. Despite the billions of solutions offered on the internet to experience peace, there’s...

When Austrian philosopher Ivan Illich was asked about the most revolutionary way to change society, he answered, "Neither revolution nor reformation can ultimately change a society, rather you must tell a new powerful tale, one so persuasive that it sweeps away the old myths and becomes the preferred story, one so inclusive that it gathers all the bits of our past and our present into a coherent w...

We all have a story. And we each have the opportunity to align our story to God's greater story.

There are many religious traditions, even Christian Church denominations, where God is not represented as friendly. He’s stern, angry, or just plain mean. Jesus came to help people like you and me know God – he came to show us a God we would want to know. Jesus lived amongst people as the complete, perfect representation of God. And he also told stories, stories of what God is like. He knew the po...

The phrase “one another” appears in the New Testament over 100 times, so it’s clearly a phrase we should take note of and learn how to put into practice. In this sermon Duncan Brown looks at what Paul’s letter to the Philippians can teach us about encountering God through serving others. ABOUT DUNCAN: Duncan is a former Senior Pastor at New Peninsula Baptist Church and former CEO of SU Queensland....

How does the Word of God make us the people He intends us to be? As we look at the children of Israel on their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, God gloriously delivered his people and provided for their needs. But for many of them, the stubbornness and hardness of their own hearts meant that they did not receive all that God was offering them. In this sermon we welcome guest speaker Richar...

“Scripture makes it clear that God collects two things - prayers and tears. This world in its current form is passing away, but our prayers and tears are eternal.” - Tyler Staton In this sermon we will explore this amazing thing called prayer as we continue on in our series 'Encountering God'. Ross speaks again, and we hope that it may be time that encourages you to continue your own adventures in...

This sermon is the second in our series, Encountering God. In Revelation 2 we read a letter from Jesus to the Church in Ephesus. It starts well, sounds like a great Church, but the tone changes quite dramatically as the Church is reminded to consider how far it has drifted, how far it has fallen. They are reminded that they don’t love Jesus or each other as they did at first. In this sermon Ross s...

There are times when our awareness of God’s presence is heightened. It brings to our attention the reality and closeness of a spiritual realm. We were created for connection with our Creator, so how do we make the most of those opportunities to draw near to God? In this sermon Brendon Walmsley explores the ancient Celtic Christian concept of ‘Thin Places’. If you enjoyed this sermon please conside...

As humans, we will all experience grief or suffer loss; a job, a relationship, a loved one. When we grieve we have a Saviour who understands our pain and walks with us through it. In this sermon Jenny Savill reminds us that as we care for others, we have Jesus’ perfect example to follow. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to gi...

How do you see God? Do you think that he is angry or unfair or distant? Do you think he holds himself aloof from us? This week Chris Bullock will be preaching on Psalm 36, and its invitation to invite God to give us his light so that we see God and ourselves truly, and live in his abundance.

Unity is one of those things in Churches that is so easy to take for granted – and yet we quickly realise how vitally important it is when it's not there. Jesus knew how unity makes a difference in the lives of his followers and the witness of his Church. He prayed about it and we have a record of that prayer in John 17. He prayed for us, us who in 2024 seek to follow him and give him authority in...

American cartoonist Bil Keane said “Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.” What we do with our time matters to God so we should use it wisely.
