What if the moment we often overlook is actually the detonator for everything Jesus accomplished?

In this sermon, Darren Rowse explores the Ascension of Jesus—an event so significant that Luke wrote about it twice. It's both the ending of one story and the explosive beginning of another.

The Ascension gives us three crucial realities:

• A King Enthroned – Jesus didn't leave; he took the throne

• A Kingdom Advancing – Not through force, but through witness

• A People Kindled – Ordinary people empowered by the Spirit

This is the first sermon in our new series walking through the book of Acts, exploring how the early church lived out Jesus' commission to be his witnesses "to the ends of the earth."

Whether you were there in person or watching online, this message will help you see how the Ascension changes everything about how we live as followers of Jesus today.

Jesus appeared to his frightened disciples with a simple message: "Peace be with you." In this post-Easter sermon, Kerryn Malone explores Luke 24:36-49 and the transforming encounter that changed terrified followers hiding in a locked room into empowered witnesses who launched the Christian church.

Discover why Jesus went to such lengths to prove his physical resurrection, how he opened their minds to see God's bigger story, and what it means for us to be witnesses in our own "Jerusalem" today — not in our own strength, but empowered by God's Spirit.

Whether you're wrestling with fear and overwhelm, struggling to make sense of your circumstances, or wondering what role you have in God's mission, this message offers hope, clarity, and an invitation to participate in the renewal of God's creation.

Christ is risen! On this Easter Sunday, Tim Horman brings our Lord's Prayer series to a powerful conclusion, exploring the final line: "For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever."

Because Jesus rose from the dead, the kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Christ. And that changes everything about how we live.

In this sermon, you'll discover:

• Why the resurrection means your life truly counts

• How we're already reigning with Christ on earth

• The incredible truth that your labour in the Lord is not in vain

• A moving story of faithful service that illustrates resurrection power

No matter how small or insignificant your life may seem, because Christ is risen, what you do in his name has eternal value. Stand firm. Let nothing move you. Everything you do for Jesus matters.

Why do we call it "Good" Friday? And how could the brutal execution of Jesus possibly be considered God's greatest victory?

In this Good Friday sermon, Tim Horman explores the meaning of the cross through the often-overlooked line in the Lord's Prayer: "Deliver us from the evil one." Discover how Jesus' death wasn't just an act of love, but the decisive battle that broke the power of sin, Satan, and death over our lives.

Far from being a moment of defeat, the cross was Christ's triumph—not through violence, but by absorbing violence. Not through power, but through sacrifice. This is the scandalous, world-transforming heart of the Christian faith.

If you've ever wondered why the cross was necessary, or what it means that Jesus has set us free, this message will challenge and encourage you.

On Palm Sunday 2000 years ago, crowds shouted "Hosanna!"—save us now—as Jesus entered Jerusalem. They were desperate for rescue from Roman occupation and oppression. But Jesus came on a donkey, not a war horse, offering a very different kind of saving.

In this message in our "As in Heaven: The Lord's Prayer" series, Darren Rowse explores the petition "Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from the evil one." This isn't just a prayer for crisis moments—it's a prayer for the everyday drift toward believing we are our own saviours.

Whether you're facing crushing trials or just the ordinary pressures of life, Jesus invites you to pray this ancient prayer and discover the God who entered the darkness to save us.

Key themes:

• Understanding trials vs temptations

• The evil one's strategy to destroy trust in God's goodness

• The danger of living as our own saviour

• How Jesus was tempted in every way—and overcame

• Palm Sunday, the cross, and what it means to be saved

What misconceptions about forgiveness are you carrying? This week Linda Bailey tackles three common myths: that God was angry before Jesus came, that forgiveness is only about personal salvation, and that reconciliation is required for true forgiveness. Discover how God's heart has always been forgiveness — and what that means for how we live today.

What does it really mean to pray for "daily bread"? In this sermon from our As in Heaven series on the Lord's Prayer, Stelios Ioannides unpacks one of the most memorised yet least understood lines in Scripture.

Jesus isn't just teaching us to ask for provision—he's inviting us into a life of daily dependence on our Heavenly Father. But that's harder than it sounds. We prefer control, security, and plans for tomorrow. God calls us to trust him today.

Through the story of manna in the wilderness and Jesus' own words in the Sermon on the Mount, Stelios challenges us to ask not just "What do I need?" but "What am I trying to control that I need to surrender?"

This is a message about childlike faith, honest prayer, and learning to hold God's hand—even when the road feels safe.

When Jesus teaches us to pray "give us this day our daily bread," he's inviting us into something far bigger than a quick blessing before meals. This simple petition is both deeply physical and profoundly political — it's about the bread on your plate, the systems that brought it there, and God's heart for the flourishing of all humanity.

Tim Horman unpacks Matthew 6:11, showing us that this prayer is:

• A bold request for God's provision in every area of life

• A call to trust our good Father who cares about our real, physical needs

• An invitation to participate in God's generous flow toward a hungry world

• A reminder that we can't separate worship of God from care for the vulnerable

This isn't just about whether you have enough — it's about whether everyone has enough. And it's not an obligation that crushes us with guilt, but an invitation to experience God's abundance so we can freely give.

What if praying for God's kingdom to come means more than just waiting for heaven? In this sermon, Tim Horman explores Matthew 6:10 and the powerful connection between "Your kingdom come" and "Your will be done." Discover why these two petitions can never be separated, what it really means for God's kingdom to "come," and how surrendering to God's will is the secret to experiencing fullness of joy.

What does it mean to pray "hallowed be your name"—and why does Jesus put this petition first in the Lord's Prayer?

In this sermon, Darren Rowse unpacks a word we often skip over without thinking. "Hallowed" isn't just religious vocabulary—it's an urgent, bold prayer asking God to reveal himself, to make his character visible and undeniable in our lives and in our world.

But here's the confronting question: if we're asking God to reveal who he is, what are we revealing about God by the way we live?

This message will challenge you to close the gap between what you say you believe and how you actually live—and remind you that the God who calls us to hallow his name is also the God who transforms us from the inside out.
