Talks from Sundays

We are starting a new series looking at the kind of church we want to be. In this message Phil Varley talks about how the church should always be a place where people matter.

In this final message of the series, we look at what it means when Jesus calls his disciples to firstly leave their former lives and then to “go” out into the world and to bear fruit.

Jesus tells his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. In this message Phil speaks about the challenge and opportunity of waiting, and how the Spirit is present to help us ‘wait well.’

Sarah and Phil Varley continue our series looking at the radical call to follow Jesus and what that means.

In this message we consider the offer and the invite of Jesus for us to come to him. 7th Jan 2024 | Phil Varley

In this message Phil speaks from Luke 13 and the story of bigger barns and how if we want to live a big life, we must settle the ownership issue. 19th Nov 2023 | Phil Varley

Jesus teaches that one of the keys to a ‘blessed’ and happy life is simply to hear his voice and follow it. It’s so simple and yet at times we find it so hard. 12th Nov 2023 | Phil Varley

Looking at the story of the ‘good Samaritan’ in Luke 10 Sarah talks about how the sacrifice of Jesus enables us live out the call to love our neighbour as ourselves. 5th Nov 2023 | Sarah Varley

In Luke 10 Jesus sends his disciples out into the world announcing that the “harvest is plentiful” and that he is the “Lord of the harvest.” Jesus is similarly challenging us not simply to be people who come to him, but a people who are sent by him to be his messengers out into the city. 29th Oct 2023 | Phil Varley

In this message, Vahé explores what discipleship entails and how there is nothing better for us to do in this moment than to live in the Kingdom. 22nd Oct 2023 | Vahé Jebejian

In this message, Phil looks at Luke’s account of the beatitudes, and how Jesus calls us into a radically new way of viewing the world and what counts. 24th Sep 2023 | Phil Varley

Sarah looks at Luke 5 where Simon Peter was called to leave his day job as a fisherman and partner with Jesus to fish for men. She looks at how, empowered by the spirit, we also get to Partner with God in proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and at what we can learn from Simon Peter about obedience, trust and surrender. 17th Sep 2023 | Sarah Varley

Jesus announces the Kingdom manifesto and that he is the Kingdom bringer. But although he is the King that Israel has been waiting for, he is not the one they are expecting. We see again that the kingdom is both counter cultural and so often counter intuitive for us all. 10th Sep 2023 | Phil Varley
