As we take a look at Psalm 30, it’s clear David’s poem couldn’t be more relevant for us today. We tackle the question, “how do I find joy when I feel joyless?”. Six principles can be extracted from the Psalm, summarised with the acronym, “A.S.C.E.N.D.”. Tune in to this week’s sermon, “Joy”, to find out more!

Our hearts are not naturally inclined to trust God. We like to remain in control (or at least believe that we are in control) of everything. But God is calling us to trust him with all areas of our lives. As uncomfortable as this might be for us, this also includes our money. We need to be reminded though that God isn’t after our money. He’s after our heart.

As we begin this short series on God and money want to acknowledge that talking about money in church can sometimes be an awkward thing. But God tells us that wherever we store up our treasure. That is where our heart will be also. We need to be very aware of this in our lives and respect the fact that we cannot serve God and money.

We continue to look at this significant passage in Romans 8 to discover more about the adoption we have and the challenge inherent in that revelation to live like that is true and fulfil the true meaning of what it is to be a new creation.

As Christians we often affirm certain doctrines as true even if we don't understand why they are important. This Easter we explore four reasons why the resurrection is good news for our lives today.

In Paul’s last statements to the Galatians, he takes up the pen himself and writes with his own hand. In the end so many of our religious, cultural, and tribal markers mean nothing in light of the new creation in Christ. Is the world crucified to you?

As Paul begins to conclude his letter to the Galatians he urges the church to carry one another’s burdens even when someone falls into sin. He makes the warning though…that God will not be mocked. Those who persist in sin will reap destruction from the flesh

Living as true "sons" is immensely challenging but ultimately liberating. Tune in to hear more from the sermon this week by Colin Stoodley.

As we continue through our series on Galatians we see how Paul approaches new covenant living. Not by walking in the old ways of religiosity but by the Spirit of God. When we 'walk in the Spirit' we begin to produce the fruit of the Spirit as opposed to the works of the flesh. And this is God's gracious work in us.

The health of our heart is vital to every aspect of our being. As Christians, we serve a God who is in the business of restoring and renovating hearts. Do you know what state the garden of your heart is currently in? Join us as we look at Proverbs 4:23 which says 'Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.
