Why are things the way they are in the world? If God created a good world, why is there so much in our world that is not good? In week three of our Origins series we explore what humanity did in the good world God created and seek to understand the implications for how we interact with the world today.

Who am I? Why am I here? Belief in God, his purposes in creating us, shapes all of Christian thought and history. In week 2 of our Origins series we explore how it defines everything about us as humans, and makes a big difference in how we see the world and how we live.

Why is there something instead of nothing? Belief in God, his purposes in creating us, shapes all of Christian thought and history. In this series, we head back to the very beginning to equip us with the uniquely Christian grace-filled response to the issues we face with our neighbours and the rest of the world.

Our message this week comes from Brad Carr. He is a leader in the Living Stones network and on the teaching team at Gracecity Church in Auckland. Today Brad is exploring possibly the most famous psalm in the Bible, unpacking two powerful metaphors about what Yahweh is really like. He is a gentle shepherd who guides and leads us, and He is a gracious host who welcomes us into the family. He is, the...

Micah concludes with indictments about the nation hiding from true 'worship' of God behind rituals and regulations that the people resent and use as excuses to justify their amoral ways. As always, God's faithfulness shines through; the Saviour is coming.

Micah presents the next case God has against Judah: a lack of Godly leadership. Secular, spiritual (prophets) and military leaders are contrasted with the King (of Kings), who comes from humble roots.

The prophet Micah is pronouncing God's judgement upon Israel and Judah for their wickedness. There are many parallels to our society today. But God, by his nature, is both holy and full of compassion or living-kindness; and promises to send a shepherd to gather his people.

Reuben is a pastor from Shore Community Church, one of our partner churches in the Living Stones Network, of which we are a part. This week's one-off message is one of encouragement and follows nicely from teaching about the persecuted church and placing our trust in God as we have been encouraged to do in Habakkuk the last few weeks. In the face of the fear and anxiety that is becoming more and m...

Habakkuk ends with a psalm of praise even though the prophet is still waiting for the answer to his prayer. How can we draw on our experience of what God has done too? Not only our personal experience but on the experience demonstrated in scripture and the church through the ages to our community here at The Street. How do we create hopeful expectation of what God will do in future?

The deliverance Habakkuk hoped for was promised by God but not when Habakkuk wanted. So what does it look like to wait in faith because God doesn't move on our timetable?

The ministry of Jesus was characterised by the power of miracles and by the way he saw people. He calls us to be workers in the harvest field, which tells us it won't be easy.

At the core of Jesus' ministry was a message that changes eternity. But it's a message that we share in a culture where people love to believe there are many paths. What does it look like to share this message with crystal clarity?

Jesus Christ left the glory of heaven and dwelt among us with the message of good news. In his life and ministry he took this good news throughout the regions of Israel. As he commissions us with this good news, what does it look like for us to go where people are?
