Craig unpacks Book of Revelation 12, revealing the unseen spiritual battle behind our world. Even as evil opposes God’s people, Jesus has already won the decisive victory—so we stand firm, trusting in his sacrifice and boldly holding to our faith. 

Craig explores John 13, where Jesus does the unthinkable—washing his disciples’ feet. This powerful moment points to the cross, where Jesus cleanses us completely, and calls us to follow his example of humble, sacrificial love.

Craig unpacks Gospel of John 12, showing how Jesus’ death wasn’t a sudden twist but the very moment everything was building toward. At the cross, God’s glory is revealed, sin and Satan are defeated, and people from every background are drawn to Jesus—inviting us to trust him and point others to him.

Craig unpacks John 21, where the risen Jesus meets his disciples by the sea—and everything changes. After a night of failure, Jesus provides, restores, and recommissions. Focusing on Peter’s story, Craig explores what happens when we mess up—and whether we can really come back from it. Around a charcoal fire, Jesus doesn’t shame Peter for his failure; he restores him, forgives him, and calls him f...

Trav explores the empty tomb in John 20 and asks a simple but crucial question: what really happened to Jesus’ body? Was it a mistake, was it taken—or did something impossible happen? As the evidence unfolds, we see that Jesus isn’t missing—he’s alive. The risen Jesus meets his followers in their confusion, doubt, and grief, calling them by name and proving he has conquered death. This sermon show...

Craig unpacks the events of Good Friday and shows that Jesus’ death was not a moment of chaos, but complete control. While everyone else tried to call the shots, Jesus — the true King and Good Shepherd — willingly laid down his life. From John 18–19, we see how Jesus takes our place, pays for our sin, and declares, “It is finished.” This message reminds us that nothing more needs to be done — the...

This week, Trav zooms out from the question “Who am I?” to the bigger and more important question: “Who is Jesus?” In a culture that tells us to be the “main character” of our own lives, Jesus calls us to something radically different—to  deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him . That means giving up our claim to be in charge and publicly aligning our lives with Jesus, even when it’s cos...

Lachlan explores a powerful truth from 1 John 3: the real you isn’t defined by your past. Because of God’s love in Jesus, Christians are adopted into God’s family and are truly his children now. This message looks at what that means for our identity, our future, and how we live today — forgiven by Jesus, seen as righteous in God’s sight, and called to live lives that reflect who we already are in...

Craig explores one of the Bible’s most counter-cultural ideas: you don’t belong to yourself. In a culture that says freedom means defining your own identity and doing whatever you want, 1 Corinthians 6 offers a very different picture. This message looks at why our bodies matter, how true freedom works, and what it means that Christians have been “bought at a price.” Instead of living for ourselves...

Craig tackles one of the most common pieces of advice in our culture: “Follow your heart.” But is it actually good advice? Looking at Proverbs, Jeremiah, and Jesus’ words in Mark 7, this message explores what the Bible really means by “the heart” — the core of who we are — and why it can’t simply be trusted. Honest and confronting, this sermon shows why the better path isn’t following your heart,...

Craig explores what it really means to be united with Christ. If Jesus died, we died. If Jesus was raised, we were raised. That means the “real you” isn’t the old habits that come naturally — it’s the new creation God has already made you to be. From 2 Corinthians 5 and Colossians 3, this message shows why the Christian life can feel like practice, why the old ways are so easy to slip back into, a...

Tim explores how the past shapes the present — and why the cross changes everything. In Galatians, we see that the real identity of a Christian is being united with Jesus: when he died, we died; when he rose, we rose. That truth frees us from guilt, reshapes how we see ourselves, and changes how we live today. This message shows why the Christian life isn’t about trying harder, but trusting Jesus...

Craig kicks off  The Real Me  by asking a big question: who am I, really? Looking at Psalm 139 and Ephesians 2, we see the tension at the heart of every person — lovingly crafted by God, yet broken and in need of grace. This message helps us rethink identity, self-worth, and the voices we trust when we think about ourselves, and invites us to see the real us the way God does.

Trav tackles one of the most quoted — and most misunderstood — lines in the Bible: “Do not judge.” Looking closely at Jesus’ words in Matthew 7, this message explores the difference between harsh judgment and loving correction. Rather than calling us to ignore sin, Jesus calls us to examine ourselves first and help one another follow him with humility and care. Honest, challenging, and hopeful, th...

Craig explores why loneliness is so common in a world full of people and what the Bible says real friendship actually is. From Jesus’ words in John 15 and wisdom from Proverbs, we see the kind of friend Jesus is — one who lets us in and never lets us down — and how his example reshapes the way we build relationships with others. Honest, practical, and hopeful, this message shows that deep friendsh...

Looking ahead to a new year, this message from James 4–5 reminds us that our plans are never ultimate — God is. We’re invited to hold our hopes with humility, trust God’s sovereignty, and endure hardship with patient confidence in his mercy. Whether the year feels full of optimism or heavy with struggle, James calls us to strengthen our hearts and rest in the compassion of the Lord who holds our f...

Blake retells the Christmas story through a simple idea everyone understands: we make messes we can’t clean up ourselves. Tracing God’s promises through the Bible, this message shows how Jesus fits every clue of the promised King — born to fix what humanity broke. Christmas is good news because Jesus steps into our mess, restores our relationship with God, and promises to make all things right.

Trav zooms out on the Christmas story through John’s Gospel and the carol  Hark! The Herald Angels Sing . Christmas isn’t about strange visits or sentimental moments — it’s about God becoming one of us to bring light, life, and reconciliation. This message traces the bigger picture of why Jesus came and invites us to move from just hearing the song to joining the triumph it announces.

This Church Plus, Tim explores the carol  O Come, O Come, Emmanuel  and shows why Jesus is the greatest Christmas gift of all. Emmanuel means “God with us,” and Tim explains how Jesus didn’t just arrive as a symbol, but as God Himself, coming to open the way back to God for us. What may seem small or insignificant at first turns out to be the most valuable gift imaginable — God with us, here to sa...

Craig unpacks the words of  O Holy Night  and asks whether we’ve really understood what we sing every Christmas. Beneath the carol’s poetry is a bold claim: the world is broken, a Saviour has come, and real peace is being offered. This message explores what Jesus has already done, what he promises to do, and why Christmas only makes sense when the Saviour becomes  your  Saviour — not just a nice i...

In this Christmas message, Blake uses the story of  The Grinch  to help us see the deeper longings we all feel — to be known, loved, forgiven, and never alone. Like the Grinch, we’ve all pushed God away and damaged the relationship we were created for. But the true Christmas story is far better: God comes to us in Jesus to offer forgiveness, restore what’s broken, and reconnect us to Himself. Chri...

In this sermon, Terry shows that true faith isn’t blind risk-taking — it’s trust in Jesus that responds to His word. Looking at Peter walking on water, we see that faith steps out when Jesus calls, even when it feels costly or uncomfortable. And though Peter falters when he looks at the waves instead of Jesus, he’s never beyond Jesus’ saving grip. Faith grows as we keep our eyes on Him and follow...

To start our Faith Series, Trav unpacks what the Bible really means by  faith —not blind optimism or a leap into the dark, but  trust based on evidence . Looking at Hebrews 11, Trav shows that God invites us to investigate, question, and follow the evidence that leads us to a real relationship with Him. Faith isn’t just believing ideas about God; it’s learning to trust the God who has proven Himse...

In this sermon, our mission partner  Lachlan  opens God’s word to show how Jesus meets us in our confusion and doubt and calls us into a faith that shapes our everyday lives. He reminds us that real faith is not passive but active — trusting Jesus enough to follow Him, obey Him, and join His mission in the world.

In this sermon, Craig concludes our  Vision Series  by unpacking what it means to be  devoted  to Jesus and to the good works that flow from knowing Him. From Titus 3, he shows that salvation is entirely the work of God—His mercy, not our effort. Through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit, we’re made new people—washed, renewed, and transformed. Because o...
