Christmas Special | The Wait is Worth It

Celebrate with us this Christmas Day and find out for ourselves the true meaning of Christmas.

Matthew 1:18-25 highlights the central theme of God with us, exploring the significance of the virgin birth, the prophecy fulfilment, Joseph’s obedience, and the life-changing implications of Jesus being Immanuel. The discussion questions encourage reflection on how this passage applies to our personal faith and obedience.

"Jesus wasn't born in a stable". Look behind the traditions and explore the true story of Christmas and its message of hope for everyone

Join us for a heartwarming Christmas Carol Service as we celebrate the joy and spirit of the season: a beautiful time of singing, reflection, and community, as we share in the timeless message of Christmas.

Jesus is the Gentle King as depicted in Matthew 21:1-11, Jesus enters Jerusalem humbly on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy (Zechariah 9:9) The crowd praises Him as the Messiah, expecting political deliverance. However, Jesus' kingship is one of peace and spiritual salvation, not earthly power, as He prepares to fulfil His mission through sacrifice.

On his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus heals two blind men who persistently call out in faith despite his mission's urgency. This act exemplifies his teaching: Jesus comes to serve, not be served.

After Jesus predicts his death a third time, the mother of two of his disciples asks whether her sons could sit beside him in his eventual reign. His response reverberates through history to us today.

Jesus teaches that entry into God’s Kingdom is a free gift, not earned by effort or status. It challenges us to celebrate, rather than resent, God’s equal love for all.

Romans 12 provides a blueprint for Christian life. We are called to renew and transform our minds and remember that love triumphs over all. God triumphs over all. We will split this passage into three sections with each Teacher giving us a short reflection for each section.

We are taking a break from our Matthew Series to look into the 2 Corinthians 9:6-15. The Heart of Christian Generosity - Generosity is a gracious gift from the Lord that transforms our selfish hearts to love people and invest in His eternal kingdom.

A wealthy young man wants to learn how to gain eternal life, and Jesus' answer leaves him sad. How do we follow Jesus faithfully?
