Part 1 of a 5 part series - Glory to God| The Christmas Playlist  This series is part of a journey as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ. In this message we look at Isaiah's servant songs, in particular Isaiah 42. The servant is the one we have been waiting for, the One in Whom the Father delights, the annointed One. If you are like a bruised reed, your faith a smouldering wick then...

Troy MacKenzie shares his testimony and in doing so brings us an encouraging message of how God works all things together for good. He challenges us to let love be our highest goal. 

In this message we look at the paradox of Intimacy and Majesty in our Christian walk, where we learn to hold both aspects of God's nature and where we embrace both reverence and romance.

Kevin Tribe joins Trent Hodson to chat about generosity and the kingdom. This message will inspire and challenge you to embrace generosity and to cultivate a generous spirit.

This message by Kim Goodwin encourages us to embrace gratitude in all of life's journey, to have a grateful heart.

The church is God's alternative society built around Jesus Christ where baptised people learn to live the Jesus way together. In this message Trent highlights three characteristics of the earliest Jesus societies.

 Life is a mix of delightful time and times of difficulty, seasons that are pleasant and seasons that are painful, times of great joy and times of great heartache. God causes all things to work together for good and our stories to be a tapestry of grace.

In this message Trent takes us into the Song of Songs, a unique book in the scripture. Jesus was raised from the dead in the springtime and ever since then, for those who believe, there is an eternal spring that Jesus invites us into. This is a lovers sermon about you and Jesus as lover of your soul. You don't have to stay stuck in the world of the dead and dying with all its despair. There i...

In his life, death and resurrection Jesus leads us to the Father's house (God's house). He is gathering all of humanity into the father's house -  there's plenty of room for everyone. Today - we get to choose which house we will live in - the house of fear or the house of love. 

In this message Ps Trent shares the 5 most significant discoveries he has made over 50 years of being a Christ follower.

When Jesus went to the tomb of his good friend, Lazarus He raised Lazarus from the dead signaling the defeat of death. All who put their faith in Jesus no longer fear death, as the sting of death had been removed.

In his gospel John strategically places seven miracles of Jesus as signs to guide us. These signs are intended to point us to the right way to believe in Jesus the Christ. But then as we come to the final few chapters of the book of John we discover an eighth, hidden sign. It is the sign of new beginnings.  New beginning is one of John's major themes in his gospel. And when we read the accoun...

Jesus does what He sees the Father doing as He cooperates with Heaven.  And we, as followers of Jesus, are called to participate in the Father's work to see Heaven manifested on earth.

The human condition suffers from a kind of emptiness. Jesus constantly tell us not to worry about scarcity, but to trust in God. To connect with Christ is to connect with the Infinite! 

In Jewish culture, the sea is a representation of chaos and the origin of evil. So, when Jesus came walking on the sea to the disciples who were in great distress in the storm, it is a sign. It is a sign that leads us to life and informs our faith in Jesus. When we see Jesus walking on water on the rough sea in a dark and stormy night, it tells us that Jesus is Lord! When our life feels like a sin...

At the wedding in Cana, Jesus performs His first miracle, and in doing so, reveals His glory and His beauty. Jesus is announcing the arrival of the reign of God. It is a sign that there is about to be a huge shift in how we understand our relationship with God. 

When we recognize that Jesus is the Living Word with whom we must engage, then we are engaging with the word of Life — God's Wisdom of how to live. To believe in Jesus is to believe that He is what God has to say. If you'll believe in the word of Life (Christ), your soul will be healed, and you will find life.

"God never intended for an Altar, though he planned for it.  Instead, God intended a table to enjoy the communion of his people." - John Mark Hicks

Christian – you are a new creation. We now live out of our baptismal identity — we should live as a people who have already died to the old age and already joined Christ in the age to come. We are people who are to live in a future -present reality. We live lives that reflect and are empowered by Kingdom realities not defined by this age  We demonstrate the coming age of new creation here and now....

Pete continues from the previous week exploring some thoughts from Philippians.  One of the main themes in Paul's letter was unity.  What is that, what what could that look like?  Maybe the biggest question is how do we do that?

Paul's letter to Philippi is full of encouragement, joy and fellowship.  What are some of things we can learn, not just from what Paul wrote, but also if we considered how he may have been thinking at the time - What God had done, was doing and will do.  God has indeed begun a great work and is faithful to complete it.

I know I am a bit of a dreamer but I am just going to say it – there is no place on earth like the church. A place where the poor are fed and clothed, the sick are helped and healed. Despite our differences in education and opportunity, opinions and politics, we are learning to love one another like Jesus loves us — unconditionally.
