Exodus 34:6-7 is the most quoted passage in the Hebrew scriptures. It is referenced more than 27 times in the Old Testament and provides a beautiful summary, revealed to us by God, of God’s own character. We discover a God full of mercy, compassion and who is abounding in steadfast love. However, there also seem to be some apparent tensions in God’s character. His mercy v His justice, for example....

What exactly happens in forgiveness? The passage this week suggests that the character of God's forgiveness corresponds to the nature of our offense. We explore the nature of iniquity, transgression, and sin and the common action these offenses share before looking at how forgiveness responds to each of them. The message concludes with lessons on the challenges we experience when we realize our ow...

God declares himself 'slow to anger' but surely God isn't angry?

This week we look at another attribute of God, namely, that God is gracious. God’s grace is so surprising and unlike any human ‘grace’. God’s grace is unending, unfailing, unlimited, and unmerited. We often think we’ve got a handle on understanding it, but we’ll discover it’s barely possible to plumb its depths. God’s grace is more exhilarating, freeing and more life changing than we could possibl...

Adegoke preaches for us on Nations Sunday as we look at the wonderful truth that we are all one in Christ.

Yahweh declares himself Merciful, but what does that mean? We explore what the Bible has to say about this term and discover that God wants to carry us.

AW Tozer said, ‘the most important thing about you is what comes into your head when you think about God’. Knowing who God is, is of the upmost importance in living out the Christian life. Like the Israelites we all have a tendency to make God into our own image… In the introduction to this series Steve takes us through the most quoted verses in the Old Testament to discover what God has said abou...

We have the power of God within us by his Spirit to pray with boldness and confidence that God moves in the church and world in people’s lives and in our own life according to his will.

We encounter two men who define all of reality: Adam and Jesus.

Glen preaches for us on baptism Sunday from Matthew 3v13-17.

The Corinthians couldn’t get their heads around what new resurrection bodies would be like, and often neither can we. God promises us new resurrection bodies that are no longer perishable, weak, and falling apart. Instead, we are given a vision of transformed bodies that will be imperishable, powerful, and full of glory. Our hope in the resurrection is more full and complete than we could dare hop...

The Resurrection changed absolutely everything. Could you tell if you looked at our lives?

Because Jesus has risen from the dead, death has been and is being and will be defeated, and therefore we can live in hope.

In this passage Paul presents the logic of the resurrection that Jesus is our hope, peace and joy. As Christians, we take hold of the resurrection through an encounter with Jesus who delivers us from a life of misery.

In 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Paul lists what he considers to be of ‘first importance’ to the gospel. So why does he include a long list of resurrection appearances, and why is that important for us today?

This Sunday we take a look at the ‘crazy’ Macedonians who were begging Paul to take part in the offering for the suffering Judeans. What produces generosity like that? What makes us want to give away our money? Paul writes that God loves a cheerful giver. Yet, God is not sadistic, demanding we look pleased when we suffer. Rather, we find a God who has given everything for us. He came poor that we...

This week is Vision Sunday. Steve unpacks what freedom looks like in the Christian life, and we celebrate that true freedom is found only in Jesus! There is prophetic encouragement for our church family that in 2024 God is speaking freedom over our church. Together we want to pray that we would take hold of this truth, to go deeper with God, in our own lives, across our church and for our city!

Paul continues with his argument that worship must be in good order, this week we try to get underneath why that's the case.

In psalm 13 we hear David's cry of pain to God. He turns to God in his despair, brings his complaint to Him and begins to ask God bold prayers to change his situation. As David laments and processes his suffering with God, he moves from despair to trusting in Him once again. Today in our despair and pain, God invites us to receive his gift of lament as He enters into our struggles with us. We look...

King's Church is a nanocosm of the kingdom of heaven evidenced by the diversity of nations, peoples, and languages represented in our church. Rev. 7 tells us that one day we will stand before the throne of God with people from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue, and that the Lamb of God will dwell with us. But we know that God is with us already, as he promised, through Jesus Christ and the e...

At evening Carols Steve unpacks what it means for God to be with us.

Which spiritual gift is the best one? We’re not meant to ask that, right?

Jesus is the ultimate treasure. It is worth giving every other treasure to have him.

Chris explores the opening passage from Ephesians 1 where Paul encourages his hearers that our salvation be ‘to the praise of His glory’, addressing our common tendency to make our worship of God more about us than we realise and how that can happen so easily.”

In our culture everyone believes in love. The Beatles declared that ‘all you need is love’. Everyone knows love’s importance and lasting value. And Paul declares that love lasts forever, it never ends. This week we take a look at what love really is, and how only God guarantees that it never fails. Because God is love He promises His people that one day we will be given access to a face-to-face re...
