St Paul's Auckland

We're starting a new series, looking at our church values and what they mean for our lives both individually and collectively. This week, we're kicking off with Humble, considering the kindness and goodness of God, and the call to serve as Jesus did.

We celebrate Pentecost, the Church's birthday! We'll explore what waiting for God to pour out His Spirit afresh means for day-to-day life, and how we might be attentive to it. 

We are looking at the widow and the unjust judge in Luke 18 – a parable that challenges the persistence of our faith and our view of God’s character.

We continue our series on praying for a holy awakening, looking at ways to navigate spiritual opposition to our prayers.

We are looking at repentance and turning to God both for us individually and as a church, as we continue to press into praying for a holy awakening. Listen in as we hear stories from around the world.

Over the next six weeks, we'll be exploring the powerful link between prayer and renewal, and how we as the church can rekindle our prayer lives. Listen along as we look at the foundations for prayer as we kick off this new series. The video referred to during Matt's talk is from 24/7 Prayer - called 'Why Pray? www.24-7prayer.com/about/why-pray/

He is Risen! This Sunday we celebrate the Risen Christ, looking at the resurrection and how it transforms our lives.

On Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, we looked at Matthew 21:1-11 and the Great Commission. 

Listen in as we continue our With Jesus, For Jesus series with Matt Bruns.

Our special guest is the founder of 24/7 Prayer, Pete Greig. Pete will be speaking to us about the urgency of prayer.

Mountains, clouds, and tents. The account of the Transfiguration is rich with biblical imagery and deep significance, but at its heart is the revelation of who Jesus is and His coming to be with us. It is an invitation to be with God, and a message of hope. Listen in, as we explore this further.

This Sunday, we are with Jesus at the well, meeting him in our brokenness and finding living water that satisfies our deepest thirst. We'll see how this becomes a core part of who we are and what we are.

We have begun our Lenten series With Jesus, For Jesus. Through Matthew 4:1-11, we will be 'with Jesus in the wilderness' - asking how to live faithfully through life's trials. 

This week, as we continue our series, Who Do You Say I Am?, we'll be looking at the theme of faith in Mark's gospel by comparing the rich young man and the centurion's response to Jesus. 

We're continuing our series, Who Do You Say I Am? We're excited to open up a space for testimonies, prophetic words, and prayer ministry, as we look at the miracles in Mark.  There are two videos that Sally shared: The first video is an excerpt from The Chosen of Jesus raising Jairus's daughter from the dead, Matthew 9, Mark 5, Luke 8.

As we continue our series, Who Do You Say I Am? we’re diving into The Kingdom of God passage in Mark 4:26-32. Jesus gave Himself for the world, now we’re called to follow His mission, reaching those still outside the church.

As we continue our series on the Gospel of Mark, we'll be looking at the invitation Jesus shared with his disciples, to dive deep into relationship with Christ, and what that looks like for us today, especially through hard times.

We begin our new series diving into the earliest written Gospel, Mark, allowing the words and actions of Jesus to shape and speak to our lives. We’ll be exploring the question Jesus asks his disciples, and that each of us must wrestle with – Who do you say I am? You can look up the video clips that Matt used in his talk here: Clip 1 link  https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVRixfameGY Clip 2 link  h...

In this talk, we’ll be considering God’s faithful promises - what might He be saying to us about the season ahead?

Ian starts us back for the year with getting back to the basics of knowing and following God in 2025. 

How might we do December differently and be able to see time in a fresh way; so that we can be attentive to the wonder and joy of the Christmas story.

We continue our Advent journey, looking at Zechariah's Song from Luke 1:67-80. 

We begin our journey to Christmas. We will be looking at some of the early songs of praise around the birth of Jesus, starting with Mary’s song. These words are full of passion and praise, and speak truth to power about a new kingdom and a new King. We hope her song will help us prepare our hearts and lives to receive Jesus afresh.

As we head into Advent, Ian Yong speaks about Christ the King.

Rachel Bruns helps us to lean into Psalm 42 - navigating disappointment with God. We'll explore some of the unhelpful ways we go about this, and offer some alternatives.
