(Matthew 5:43-48)

As we come to the end of Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, Si Duke takes the opportunity to unpack a very famous teaching of Jesus' - You have heard it said, love your neighbour but hate your enemy...

Today Simon unpacks what this command and call to a different way of living means for us today and challenges us to consider what this kind of love looks like.

(Acts 15:1-29)

What do we do when deep disagreement threatens our unity? In the early church, a sharp dispute over salvation forced a vital choice: top-down command or collective discernment. Join us as we explore why the "messier" path of listening to the Holy Spirit together is the way we as a Church seek to honour God's leading for us. Be encouraged as we see how God leads His people when we choose to listen as one body.

(Acts 3:1-10)

As we continue to explore some of the key identity markers of who we are as a church, we come to the idea of On Mission Everyday.

Here the idea that there is a secular/sacred divide is challenged. Today, Gavin dives into Acts 3 to see how Peter and John’s ordinary afternoon walk turned into a divine encounter. What if being on mission isn't about doing more, but about shifting your posture to see God in the ordinary?

(Matthew 5:33-37)

All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'." In a culture driven by image management and self-protection, Jesus invites us to build lives of deep reliability.

Join us as Gavin unpacks this challenging teaching and we discover that becoming people of our word isn't just about better communication. Instead it's about reflecting the very faithfulness of God.

(1 Peter 2:9-10; Acts 2:1-13)

As we begin our new series exploring who we are as a church, we encounter a title that might feel unsettling or reserved for a select few: A Royal Priesthood.

As Iain unpacks this key identity marker, we are challenged to move past the stereotypes of robes and rituals to understand our true purpose as believers. We discover that when God calls us into His priesthood; He equips us in our weakness for His glory.

Join us today as we explore what this key part of ASBC's identity means for us as a Church.

(Mark 14:12-24; Exodus 12:1-14)

Have you ever felt like an outsider at the communion table, wondering if you truly belong? As we continue our journey through Mark, Iain Anderson explores how Jesus took a specific national celebration—the Passover—and blew the doors wide open. From the history of the important celebration to the presence of a betrayer, discover how Jesus invites everyone to experience God’s salvation.

Join us as we look at the gift of the Open Table.

(Matthew 5:27-28)

As we continue our journey in Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount, we come to his challenging words about adultery, lust and eye-gouging. Yet, as Gavin unpacks this is not about shifting the checklist of what God asks us to do, it is about understanding what God intended these laws for in the first place.

Join us as we unpack, consider and explore Jesus' words from Matthew 5:27-28.

(Mark 14:1-11)

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark Gavin takes the opportunity to consider the question; do we love the Kingdom, or the King? In today's passage there is an example of powerful love and devotion from a woman, that others look down upon. Yet this act, was a powerful example of her love for Jesus.

Join us as Gavin unpacks this event, and what it means for us today

(Mark 13:1-37)

Jesus’ prediction of the Temple’s destruction left the disciples desperate for dates and signs. In Mark 13, we often get caught in the same trap—obsessing over the "when" of the end times or retreating in fear. But what if Jesus’ call to "be alert" isn't about decoding symbols, but about how we live today?

Join us as Iain Anderson unpacks what Jesus was helping his disciples understand about what is to come, and what truly matters.

(Matthew 5:13-16; 1 Kings 11:1-8)

As we continue to explore this series looking at Biblical Wisdom in practice, Mike takes the opportunity to consider Jesus' words from Matthew 5 challenging us to lamp on a table instead of under a bowl. Here is a reminder that while knowledge is important intellectually, unless we actually put it into practice we miss the point of what it is for. The wisdom God gives us and invites us to ask for is to guide our lives.

Join us as we consider what it looks like to live our lives with living wisdom.
