Is the church dying? Do we need to pray more, pray harder or have more faith in order for things to improve? Or does the message of Pentecost lead us away from what we bring to the table and point us to a God who is still very much alive and at work amongst His people – the church? Come and explore how God continues to work His 'mighty acts' in and out of the church. Come and see where we fit into God's story!

Why does the Bible talk about Jesus' ascent to the right hand of God? Is the ascension simply something for us to marvel at, or does it run much, much deeper? Today we're looking at the implications of both Jesus' high priesthood and His ascension in our lives.

We share with others those things that are most important to us. What's the most important thing in our life worth sharing with our loved ones? Where does the One who calls us out of the slavery of sin and into new resurrection life fit into our list of most important things, and how can we share this treasure simply with the people around us?

What does it really mean to be a child of God in this world - and what difference does it make anyway? Listen to what God says about you and your calling in the world as we open up 1 Peter.

Why does the Bible depict Jesus as a gardener in John 20:1-18? And why does Mary see Jesus and see a gardener before seeing her saviour? Maybe it goes all the way back to the beginning: to a garden and the giant fall of humankind. What would it mean for us to be restored to the one who planted the garden of Eden and have access once more to Eden? Find out how God has restored us to both the garden and the gardener through the resurrection of Jesus.

Food is a major focus of our lives. It's there when we socialise and even when we turn on our television! On Maundy Thursday we celebrate the meal Jesus instituted for his disciples to eat. Food that does amazing things beyond the best restaurant meal or the most elaborately catered social function. So if the saying is true and we are what we eat, what does that mean for us as we approach Jesus' banquet table?

How do we pick our leaders? What kind of things are on our leadership shopping list? We want our leaders to look the part and promise the things we really want: political strength, higher wages, lower taxes. But they also need to look the part, accessorise and bask in the light of high media exposure. So what was Jesus thinking entering Jerusalem on a donkey? Is this the kind of King we're looking for? Jesus may not look the part, but maybe he's exactly who we really need...

How important is your faith to you? We usually answer that question with powerful words of affirmation. But is that really how it is - or do we pay Jesus more lip service than actual honesty?

Come and explore how Jesus breathes His life into you and re-animates you for authentic life that glorifies God in His Kingdom!
