This week Cory invited us to re-read Matthew 7:1-5 in a way that invites us to acknowledge we are all vision impaired by the same stuff – regardless of whether it is a speck or a log – and that the goal is not to set ourselves over and against others by simply not judging anyone or anything, or by simply condemning everyone about all the things that irritate the hell out of or into us – but rather...

Did you miss Sunday's message? Mel reintroduced us to the Flipping Tables series and together we explored 'The Tension of the Tables', listening to the voices of Mary, Martha and Luke - characters of the text. All of us have sat at various tables of influence in our lives and we often walk away with rules to live by that become cruel and oppressive. When we choose to see our experie...

WINESKIN : GIVING . If we are truly serious about following the way of our Lord, if we are truly serious about curating a Christ-Centred community where Christ is Lord of all; and if we are serious about participating in the bringing of God’s future into our present then we need to talk about why we give and why we steward and share our possessions – the time, talent and the treasure – that the Lo...

We are called to be a people who bring peace to the earth - but peace is more than simply 'making nice' or ensuring everyone is doing the 'right' thing. Becoming peacemakers means following the example of Jesus who spoke out to expose what wasn't in alignment with love, mercy and humility. At the same time, Jesus invited people to wholeness by reminding them of their core...

“A confessing church is a Church committed to cultivating ‘Shalom’, cultivating ‘Le Va’; a Church that takes our baptism seriously by simply loving people and things in such ways that give expression to God’s healing justice, the promise of God’s renewal and restoration in, through and for all things… . Confession becomes a conduit for us to realise, release and experience the kind of wholeness, t...

Last Sunday, Yiqian guided us on an exploration of the Scriptural narrative of God's partnership with humanity to bring them out of a cycle of chaos/sin/brokenness. In the waters of baptism and the hovering of the Spirit of God, we participate in both a personal and communal story of dying to death and embracing restored goodness. Jesus' baptism, life, death and resurrection became livin...

Is it possible that we could forget to welcome God’s Future? Could it be that sacraments are a “door to the sacred,” but we started to act like we were going through the door to go elsewhere instead of opening the door to welcome Heaven here? Jesus invited us into becoming “enacted parables” or “participatory prophecies” that welcome God healing justice, peace and joy that we might be a sign of th...

Do You Get It? (Or Which Procession You In?) Jokes need context. We don’t often get invited to think of our Lord as a larrikin fulfilling prophecy by being cheeky. But what if the historical context helps us see how funny Jesus is?  What if Jesus wants us in on the “joke” that God’s kingdom comes through love?  What changes when we realise that every year at Passover from the other side of the cit...

There’s no getting around it, life will send you shake ups! What you do with what happens in you is what matters most. Sitting with Jesus to tune into your internal world can reveal your unique design and values. Tapping into this means you can discover how to spend your life - compelled with purpose, love and action, to become the solution to what you see. If you feel a nudge to begin serving as...

Yesterday we jumped into the second week of our Future Series by catching up with our new Community & Justice Catalyst - Ash Rosevear - who shared so honestly about some of his past church related trauma and how he has experienced the restorative power of a safe and inclusive God (and community) by holding deeply to the hope of Jesus as the Good Shepherd (John 10:10,11) who loves all, serves a...

Do you struggle with the tension between the "good" things you want to do and the "bad" things you don't want to do but find yourself doing anyway? God's gift of grace through Jesus means that we don't have to try and do "good" things. Instead, the Holy Spirit has been graciously given to us to work with us and in us so that we don't have to try an...
