1 John 3:11–24 | Pastor Anthony Watson Sunday 24 May 2026

As we continue our May Mission Month series, What’s Love Look Like?, this message explores what it means to live as love in action.

In a world where brokenness is real and needs can feel overwhelming, we’re reminded that love is not just something we say or feel, but something we live. Grounded in the love of Christ, we are called to respond in practical, sacrificial ways right where we are.

This message invites us to move beyond intention and into action, trusting that even small acts of love can carry the weight of the Kingdom as we live between the now and the not yet.

Luke 4: 14-21 Anthony Watson Sunday 17 May 2026

Continuing our May Mission Month series, What’s Love Look Like?. As we live in the Kingdom of the 'now' and the 'not yet'. How do we navigate faith and love when things aren't as they should be and the problems seem monumental.

Psalm 19:1–6 Scott Pilgrim Sunday 10 May 2026

Continuing our May Mission Month series, What’s Love Look Like?, Scott Pilgrim from Baptist Mission Australia shares a message from Psalm 19, reminding us that all creation points to the glory and love of God. As the heavens declare His glory, we’re invited to see God’s heart for the world and our place in His mission.

Because love isn’t just something we receive… it’s something we reflect.

Philippians 2:1–11 Pastor Anthony Watson Sunday 3 May 2026

As we begin May Mission Month, Pastor Anthony explores the call to live as imitators of Jesus. Love doesn’t start with us. It begins with God. And when we receive His love, it shapes how we live, serve, and relate to others.

From Philippians 2, we see that love is humble, sacrificial, and others-focused, just like Jesus.

Because love isn’t just something we talk about… it’s something we live.

1 John 2:25–29 Peter Nelson Sunday 26 April 2026

What does it mean to truly stand on the promise of eternal life? In this message, Peter Nelson opens up 1 John and reminds us that eternal life is not just a future hope, but a present reality grounded in the faithfulness of God.

As we navigate the uncertainties of life, we are invited to anchor ourselves in the promise God Himself has given, a promise that gives confidence for today and hope for what lies ahead.

Psalm 116 Jason Morris Sunday 19 April 2026

Psalm 116 is a personal response to God’s faithfulness in the midst of distress. This message explores what it looks like to remember God’s deliverance and respond with a life of gratitude, trust, and devotion.

It’s an invitation to move beyond words, offering our lives in wholehearted worship to the One who hears, saves, and sustains.

Psalm 103 Pastor Anthony Watson Sunday 12 April 2026

After the significance of Easter, it doesn’t take long for life to return to normal and for us to forget the goodness of God. In Psalm 103, David calls his own soul to remember, recalling God’s forgiveness, compassion, and faithful love.

This message is an invitation to remember His benefits, rest in His character, and respond with wholehearted worship, not because life is perfect, but because God is faithful.

John 20:11–18 Pastor Anthony Watson Sunday 5 April 2026

Mary comes to the tomb expecting death, but encounters the risen Jesus and everything changes. This message explores how the resurrection moves us from despair to hope, from unbelief to faith, as Jesus calls us by name.

Because He is alive, death is defeated and a new future has begun. It’s an invitation to encounter the risen Christ and respond with a life shaped by that hope.

Luke 23:32–43 Pastor Anthony Watson Good Friday • Friday 3 April 2026

This reflective Good Friday service walks step by step through the final hours of Jesus’ life, inviting us to see the choices made around the cross, and our own place within the story.

Through Scripture, symbol, and response, we are confronted with sin, sacrifice, and the depth of Christ’s love. It’s an invitation not just to remember the cross, but to respond to the One who gave His life for us.

"The Love that Serves" Pastor Anthony Watson Maundy Thursday • Thursday 2 April 2026

In this reflective Maundy Thursday service, we journey with Jesus from the table to the cross, seeing a love that prepares, serves, gives, and surrenders.

Through Scripture, song, and the Lord’s Supper, we are reminded that salvation comes through the humble, sacrificial love of Christ. It’s an invitation to receive His grace, and to respond with lives shaped by the same love.
