The Street Church

What concerns, goals, and priorities are you carrying into this year? What if you could only carry one thing—what would it be?

We continue our panel discussion, looking at how we can increase our adoration for Jesus in 2024. This week, we look at the overflow of our love and how genuine love for the Lord always proves itself in obedience to Him.

A new year often brings new resolutions—ideas we have to tinker with the rhythms or habits we want in our lives. But what if you could make one resolution that would impact every aspect of your life? Join our panel as we spend the next two weeks looking at our love for Jesus.

Welcome to 2024! As we look forward to all God will say to us through His word this year, we take one more look back at what He did in 2023, the layer that we will build upon this year. Join our panel as we look back once more before we launch into a new year!

As we wrap up 2023, we take a look back at what God has said to us through His word across our sermon series. Join our panel as we reflect on some key moments from our sermon series in 2023.

We finish our Advent series by focusing on the very reason for Christmas—God's love. God loved humanity so much that he gave His son, Jesus Christ, to bring broken and lost people back into relationship with Himself. Christmas was the start of his rescue mission of love. His love for you!

Are you an ordinary, regular, non-main character in this world? As we approach the end of another year, you may want to consider what it is that God is calling you to go and see, to investigate further, and to explore more this Christmas.

Christmas is a season of joy! Our third week of Advent is a celebration of what the angels told the shepherds in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago—something has happened that will bring joy to the whole world! The Christmas story invites us to experience the deep and lasting joy that can only come through Jesus Christ.

Where do you find peace in the midst of the storm? How easily is your peace taken from you in life's circumstances? The story of Christmas invites us to receive the perfect gift of peace in Jesus Christ.

We continue our Advent series with the theme of Peace! Where do you find peace in the midst of the storm? How easily is your peace taken from you in life's circumstances? The story of Christmas invites us to receive the perfect gift of peace in Jesus Christ.

The countdown to Christmas is on! We begin our four-week Advent series with a look at hope. What do you hope for in your life? What is your hope placed in? The story of Christmas invites us to put our hope in something unshakeable and sure—the person of Jesus Christ.

God is always at work—in our suffering, in the little details of our lives, and always through our interactions with other people. How we treat people matters. Our character matters. As our Ruth series wraps up, we see how God uses the integrity of Boaz and Ruth to bring about his eternal purposes and continue a generational line that links King David to the coming Messiah: Jesus.

Life can get tedious at times. The routine of turning up to a tedious desk job or the seemingly endless grind of looking after toddlers—where is God in the little details of my life? It's another of life's questions that is answered in the book of Ruth, where we see Ruth's faithfulness in something as simple as a barley harvest is used by God for much grander purposes.

Where is God in my suffering? It's a question many people ask in a moment of weakness or pain—does God see me? Is he really in control here? What good can come from this? The story of Ruth and Naomi as they return to Judah from Moab shows how God is always at work in the unseen, even when it's almost impossible to believe it.

'Glory' is more likely to be associated with the All Blacks chasing “World Cup glory” rather than Christianity. What is it, and what does it mean for us?

Simon and Jenny posture us as a church for the next season ahead.

The Christian life isn't meant to be static; over the course of our lives, we are continually being formed to become more like Jesus in every way. We will all make mistakes. Some days will feel worse than others, but the trajectory is upward as God, by His grace, continues to purify us from sin and makes us look more and more like Jesus.

What actually happens when someone is "saved"? How are they different from the millisecond that preceded this moment of salvation? One of the most important things is that they are declared legally righteous in God's sight. Like a courtroom drama, the judge declares "not guilty" over each follower of Jesus and sets them free to live a new life.

Salvation is the story of God's grace from beginning to end. God came to earth in the person of Jesus Christ to save humanity from sin and its destructive force and give us new life. Salvation doesn't start with us; it starts with God—and He alone knows who will respond to his invitation of grace.
