Brent leads us to reflect on the request of James and John.

Andrew explores Mark 10:32-34, when Jesus predicts his death for the third time. We reflect on how we can better listen to what God is saying, and what it means to have trust in patience when we don’t know what’s happening next.

Daniel leads us to reflect on the story of Jesus' encounter with the rich young ruler in Mark 10:17-31, and we question what we may be idolising today.

We reflect on what it means to receive the Kingdom of heaven 'like a little child'.

As we ask the Lord to lead us this year, we explore what it means to be ‘known’ by God, and why this is a good thing!

Through intriguing - and sometimes confusing - imagery in Mark 9:42-50, Blake helps us reflect on whether there are things in our lives causing us or others to stumble, and look to the promise we have in Jesus and the beauty of the kingdom of God!

As we continue in Mark 9 we are challenged about judging others' ministries for not being exactly like ours, and we consider how we might lift up the name of Jesus even in everyday, ordinary acts of love.

We continue in Mark 9, with the disciples arguing about who was the greatest, and Jesus’ surprising advice about how to truly be great.

We look at Mark 9:30-32, where Jesus tells his disciples about what’s ahead. What might this short passage reveal to us about our own expectations of who we think Jesus should be?

We kick off our journey through Mark 9, with Daniel taking us through Mark 9:2-12 and prompting us to ask: who is Jesus?

We look at the image of a church as the ‘bride’, beloved and beckoned by God. As we collectively live out our identity as the ‘bride’ of Christ, how might this love overflow to those around us, and how might we beckon others to ‘Come!’ and drink the water of life?

We reflect on how the church is, and always has been, on mission. How can we be engaged in God’s mission now, cultivating a radical love for those around us?

We consider how the church is described as a priesthood in 1 Peter 2:9, and how this means we have connection, commission and community.

Candace leads us to consider how the church is, and can further be, a reflection of God's love.

Andrew prompts us to reflect on the church as ‘one body’ as described in 1 Corinthians 12.

Brent introduces the person and work of the Holy Spirit who equips and empowers the church beyond our own human strength, with some examples of how the Holy Spirit might work beyond our own intellect and capabilities today.

Brent explores the Church as a ‘temple’; a dwelling place for God, in which we are being built together with Jesus Christ as our cornerstone.

Jill leads us to reflect on how church is ‘family’, in which we have a common father, a common identity, and brothers and sisters.

We kick of our series 'Church Is...', and Brent looks at Jesus conversation with Peter in Matthew 16.

Ro continues our reflection on who God is. More than merely set of attributes or an abstract being, God is actually a ‘person’: a truly personal God who became flesh, who we can relate to intimately, and who wants intimate relationship with us.

Candace teaches on God as Protector. Through looking at stories from the Bible as well as more recent history, we reflect on God as our sanctuary, who is with us even in the darkest of places.

Emily leads us to reflect on another attribute of God. We look at the way Jesus describes Himself, as ‘gentle and humble in heart’, and marvel at the One who left His throne of glory for a cradle in the dirt. During this talk we listened to ‘Find Rest’ by Rich and Lydia Dicas. Look it up! Words and Music by Rich di Castiglione © 2020 KXC Publishing.

Brent looks at the wisdom of God as revealed in creation, through dealing with His people, and ultimately through salvation ( aka slavation :) ). Song at the end: ‘Leaning on You’ by Redhill Music for Canberra Worship Collective. (Apologies: sound quality a bit rough for the first few minutes).

Brent explores the pure and beautiful holiness of God; a holiness that can terrify, but thanks to God’s grace also brings celebration and joy.

We reflect on God's omnipresence - His everywhere-ness, His all-around-ness - and how this brings us comfort, conviction and courage.
