Adventure is one of those things that excites the human spirit and great experiences and accomplishments can occur when we are adventurous.

We're continuing to look at the issue of adventure and how it is essential to seeing God's vision for our church, and our own lives.

Adventure is one of those things that excites the human spirit and great experiences and accomplishments can occur when we are adventurous.

But what does adventure have to do with vision, particularly our church's vision? We will be starting to look at the link between adventure and vision and what that will mean for us as church moving forward.

Second in the series called "Used to Be".

When you look in the mirror, or by some other way, how many times do you think, "I used to be so different". With the passage of time or the work of God in our lives, we all could reflect upon how we 'used to be'. For some of us that will be a positive reflection, for others of us it may be painful and even a disappointing thing to think about.

In this series we will be looking at how you can maximise the new point you are at in your life. God has a plan for how different you are now compared to how you used to be. As much as we may look back and see how we used to be, God wants you to look forward to what now could be.

Whenever we have the privilege of hearing these stories we cannot help be encouraged and amazed at what God has done in people's lives - which gives us hope for what God may yet be able to do in our own lives.

Graeme Rothwell will bring us his story this week.

New Years Eve is when we think about our resolutions for the year ahead. Do you have any resolutions for 2024 already?

For the final service for 2023, Troy Blair will be speaking about a different resolution that we may consider being committed to in the year ahead.

Troy Blair is speaking on how to Behold Christmas this season and celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas Day.

Troy Blair speaks about things you can do when our family Christmas gatherings may have just the opposite to the joy and peace of the season. Based on the actions of Jesus, he will be talking practically about what you can do when there is tension, conflict and even dread about our time with family this Christmas.

Edwina brings a message about Perspective. A way of thinking about and understanding something!

Geoff Hall concludes the series talking about Living in the Light of Jesus.

This series "Living in the light" focuses on what it means to live in God's light. It is to coincide with Diwali (the Hindu festival of lights). Considering our Hindu neighbour's openness to celebrating "light", this series may provide an opportunity for your curious neighbour to come and consider a different light.

The series has looked at how living in God's light brings purpose, wisdom, hope and eternity as well as how Jesus is the light of the world.
