After Noah's faithfulness through the flood it all seems to come undone as Noah unravels in his tent. What is the antidote to Noah the antihero?

It's the rainbow passage, the colourful backdrop to a dark story. But what is the source of all those complex and coalescing colours? Jesus!

God has provided the way through the flood for Noah so that he might respond in faithful obedience to God, but already something seems a little bit off...

Am I locked into or out of reading Noah's Ark as a global flood? What is leaking inside, outside and into the flood story?

Evan Almighty makes a big deal of a part of the flood story that is often overlooked or misunderstood–the animals flock to Noah. Why do they have a sense of what is going on when humans just carried on senselessly?

I don't get the Noah's Ark Play Centre because there's nothing playful about the flood. We might not get the OG Noah's Ark, but God gets it. Let's begin our quest to the depths of God's mercy and judgment.

If you think you’re a good person, you probably don’t have a lot of time for God, and that shows. Today's passage has some hard-hitting words, but the hardest hit comes from a woman who doesn't say a word...

How do you feel when someone doesn't like your taste in music? Banger or Bruiser, they won't listen. It can be frustrating, but in today's passage from Luke, Jesus is desperate for people to follow his taste in music that might taste life.

Talking about Jesus in the face of someone's suffering can be offensive, but talking with Jesus can be just as offensive. What's the best defence for this offence?

Death only takes, it never gives, and we the power to help is taken from us in the face of death. We care, but can we really help? Who can visit us in this time of need?

When hate bubbles to the surface in our society, do our shows of cultural respect and embracing of customs really heal the rift or are they just faux shows of peace? The same question pervades our passage this morning.

How do you go about choosing friends? What do you look for? Do you know what to look for? Jesus chose friends to, but they may not be exactly who you would think to look for...

We have just one more tub to fill for the Anglicare Food and Toy Drive. If we fill that tub will that be enough? Will we be all square with God for the year? What does the Lord require of us?

Everyone is an armchair expert with predicting the Ashes outcome, but often we still get it slightly off. Are God's prophets susceptible to the same errors with their predictions?

Who is to blame for poverty? Our perception is often our reality when we think about those in need. But what happens when that perception becomes a reality that we need to face?

What do you do first thing when you wake up? Chances are you grab your phone, but what will you do with that power?

It's easy to spot the rot in cherry-picked arguments, but isn't actual cherry-picking a good thing? Should we be cherry-picking the laws we follow as Christians? Did Jesus?

It can seem like the Old Testament laws are stuck in a time warp, but maybe it's us who needs to work out what time it is?

There are 613 laws in the Old Testament and some of them seem very random indeed. Are Christians crazy for believing these laws?

What are we to make of the ridiculously long lives in Genesis 5? Are these just tall stories or is it a story that you could share in?

The statistics around gender based and domestic violence shock us, but they should not surprise us; they are as old as the very first family. Listener Advice: Gender-based and domestic violence is discussed within this sermon. If you or anyone needs help then please call 1800RESPECT (1800737732).

What lessons can we learn from the abandoned town of Wittenoom, and why are we destined to make the same mistakes?

Cain is rightly punished for his actions, but is there mercy in punishment, or could God's punishment actually be mercy?

The relationship with a sibling can be explosive. You may well never fight more with someone you love so much. But surely, we would never go as far as Cain?

State of Origin is good vs evil, life vs death. What can we learn from this epic rivalry as Jesus goes head to head with the Pharisees on their home turf?
