This week Jaimee continued our series in Jubilee with a message titled Cosmic Jubilee. She explores living with hope in a broken world through Jesus Christ.

This week Beth continued our Sabbath Jubilee series with a message from Luke 4:14-21. As she looked back on her time at APBC, she encouraged us to reflect on what it looks like to 'let go' and trust God to provide.

This week Llewelyn continued our Sabbath series with a message on Jubilee.

Llewelyn encourages us to consider the character of Boaz and how he played a role in the redemption of Naomi and Ruth.

He challenges us to read the story of Ruth this week and think about how it could help us as a church in this season.

This week Travis concluded our 'Practicing the Sabbath' series, with a message on Worship.

The practice of Sabbath is ultimately about worship - yes - stop, rest, delight - but the rhythm of Sabbath is an invitation to ask ‘where is Jesus?’ in the places of our lives.  The physical places, the relational places, the emotional places. 

Sabbath is ultimately about worship - and worship is all about Jesus.

This week Llewelyn continued our 'Practicing the Sabbath' series, with a message on Delight.Reading from Psalm 37:4 “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart",  he used the analogy of eating food without thinking and missing out on the joy that it brings.

Llewelyn encourages us to slow down so we don't miss out on the good things that God has for us. God gives us the desires of our heart, but often we are too distracted, or too busy to actually take it in. We need to put boundaries in place to help keep distractions at bay and release us into rest. We need to devote ourselves to joy as a feeling, a discipline and a condition. Sabbath is a practice that helps us to invest in delight so that we can appreciate the gifts that God gives us.

Llewelyn leaves us with the following questions to reflect upon this week:

1. In what ways do you need to slow down and make sure you allow yourself to experience the desires of your heart?
2. What boundaries do you need to put in place to protect your Sabbath and to release you into delight and joy?
3. How can you delight in the Lord? What activities could you engage in to help you delight and experience joy?

This week Travis continued our 'Practicing the Sabbath' series, with a message on Rest.

This week Travis concluded our 'Sabbath Foundations' series with a message on Sabbath as celebration.

Reading from Exodus 23 and Leviticus 23, he looks at the building blocks of a weekly sabbath and the times of feast that we celebrate today.

This week Travis continued our 'Sabbath Foundations' series with a message on Sabbath as provision. Reading from Exodus 16, he talks about how God gives everyday, He gives enough and He ultimately gave us Jesus.

This week Llewelyn continued our 'Sabbath Foundations' series, reading from Genesis 1-3.

Sabbath can be a really challenging practice for a lot of people, and there are so many factors affecting this. Our world lives in low-level exhaustion all the time. We all find it hard to stop.

Sabbath is about stopping and resting. But it's also about entering into new creation and imagining what that could look like.

This week, Travis continued our 'Sabbath Foundations' series with a message from Exodus 5 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15.
