In this Advent season, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and the profound peace His arrival brings to a troubled world. As we approach Christmas, we are reminded that His birth is the fulfilment of God’s promise of peace—a peace that transcends our circumstances, heals divisions, and brings hope to the world.

In this message from our Christmas Carols Service Rev. Michael Hands explores the true meaning of peace as found in the gospel and invites us to reflect on the hope that Jesus offers for both our hearts and our world. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the season, we are called to pause and embrace the peace that comes from knowing Christ—peace with God, with one another, and with ourselves.

In a world marked by anxiety, division, and unrest, the Advent season brings us a powerful promise—peace. In this first message of our Advent series, Ps. Ori Zacher explores how the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, offers a profound contrast to the fleeting peace the world offers. Jesus’ peace is not simply an absence of conflict but a deep, enduring peace that transcends circumstances and guards our hearts.

We’ll see how Jesus’ peace is radically different from the world’s peace and how it is specifically for troubled hearts, offering comfort and hope even in times of fear. As we look to John 14:27, we’ll uncover how Jesus’ peace cannot be overcome by fear, offering us an unshakable foundation for living in peace amidst life’s challenges.

Join Ps. Ori Zacher as we discover how Advent promises peace to a conflicted world and how this peace can transform our lives, relationships, and communities.

In "Sex and Relationships," Ps. Scott Wrigley presents a biblical vision of sex, exploring God’s original design and intention for intimacy. Using scriptures like 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 and Matthew 5:27-28, Ps. Scott contrasts the kingdom perspective on sex with the world’s distorted view.

This sermon encourages us to align our sexuality with God’s truth, offering a path to healing and redemption in our lives.

Key questions covered in the sermon include: What does it mean to glorify God through our sex? What is God’s intention for sex, and how has the world gotten it wrong? How can we experience redemption in and through our sexuality?

Join Rev. Michael Hands as he explores what it means to glorify God with our gender in "Gender and the Body." This sermon unpacks how being created in God’s image shapes our understanding of gender while celebrating the distinct qualities of each. With insights from Genesis 1:27 and Matthew 19:4-6, we’ll examine cultural and biblical definitions of gender, understanding why gender is significant yet not the core of our identity.

Michael also addresses key questions such as: What does it mean for us to honour God with our gender? Where should we find our identity? Additionally, he approaches complex topics like gender dysphoria with both truth and compassion, calling us to a biblical view of gender that supports the physical and spiritual dimensions of our lives.
