Whoever Receives You || Matt 10:40-42 & Rom 6:12-23
A cup of cold water. That’s where Jesus lands his great sending-out speech in Matthew 10. Three verses about a cup of cold water. Not impressive — but it turns out that small acts of welcome done in his name are never nothing. He says: that will not be forgotten. Listen and discover what you might be carrying without realising it.
Be Not Afraid || Matt 10:24–39 & Rom 6:1b–11
This Sunday, we reflect on Jesus’ challenging words to his disciples as he sent them into a world where faith could bring hardship, rejection, and even persecution. While many Christians today enjoy the freedom to worship openly, Christ calls us to be courageous in living and sharing our faith. Together, we will consider what it means to speak boldly of God’s love and find peace not in comfort, but in the presence of God.
The Heart Of God || Matt 9:35-10:23 & Rom 5:1-8
What is the heart of God actually like? This Sunday we're looking at two passages that answer that question from the inside and the outside. Romans 5 describes love poured into us before we earned it. Matthew 9 shows Jesus gut-moved by the sight of harassed, helpless people - and turning that feeling into action. Three movements: the heart of God receives, feels, and sends.
Corpus Christi - This Is My Body || John 6:51-58 & 1 Cor 11:23-26
This past Sunday we celebrated Corpus Christi, the Feast of the Body of Christ. We turned our attention to the table at the heart of Christian worship: the bread, the cup, the body and blood of Christ. Communion is something many of us receive regularly, but what do we believe is actually happening there? Is it simply a symbol, or is Christ present and at work in a deeper way? This message invites us to slow down, wonder again, and come to the table ready to receive more than we expected.
Trinity Sunday - Sent Together || Matt 28:16-20 & 2 Cor 13:11-13
What does it actually mean to be a disciple in your neighbourhood, your workplace, your everyday life? In this episode we explore Matthew 28 and 2 Corinthians 13 — and discover that Jesus doesn't send impressive people. He sends ordinary, sometimes-doubting followers. With his authority. With his presence. And with a community around them. You are not on your own.
Pentecost Sunday - You Were Not Made To Hide || Acts 2:1-21
On Pentecost Sunday, we reflected on what it means to live a life truly shaped by the gift of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is not simply an event we remember, but a greater reality we are all caught up in — young and old, every generation invited into a life filled with the Spirit, following the Spirit, and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. Together, we ask: How has my life been changed in light of Pentecost, and does it reflect what God came to do?
What Does Christ's Ascension Mean For Us? || Acts 1:6-14
This Sunday, Peter unpacks “What Christ’s Ascension Means for Us” from Acts 1, reminding us that Jesus’ leaving wasn’t the end of the story — it was the beginning of our purpose. Because Christ is alive, reigning, praying for us, and calling us into His mission, our lives are caught up in something far bigger than ourselves.
You Are Not On Your Own! || John 14:15-21
On Sunday we reflected on one of the most personal promises Jesus makes: that we are not left alone. As he prepares his disciples for his departure, Jesus assures them that God will give his Holy Spirit — the Advocate — to be with them and remain in them. In this promise we see the nearness, comfort, and faithfulness of God, who does not abandon his people but comes to them and dwells with them.
Do You Know The Way? || John 14:1-14
As we come to John 14, Jesus meets His disciples in the upper room on the night before the cross and speaks into one of the deepest questions we carry: where are we headed? He offers not a roadmap or a formula, but Himself — the way, the truth, and the life. Join us as we reflect on the hope, comfort, and welcome of Jesus, and discover that His invitation is greater than we often imagine.
The Good Shepherd || John 10:1-10
In this sermon on Jesus as the Good Shepherd, we reflect on the kind of leadership and love He reveals — sacrificial, personal, and full of care. As the One who knows His sheep by name and whose voice leads them, Jesus shows us both who God is and how we are called to love others in His name.
