Journey to the Cross

On this Palm Sunday we hear the powerful story of Jürgen Moltmann – survivor of the 1943 Hamburg firestorm and former POW – whose encounter with extreme suffering led him to discover God in human forsakenness. He went on to challenge the idea of a distant deity, revealing instead a ‘crucified God’ who shares in our pain, suffering, and injustice.

God as Homemaker

Today we welcome Arthur Brown of BMS World Mission. Arthur helps us explore the profound theme of “home” through the lens of faith, reflecting on everything from the realities of global displacement to the promise of God’s dwelling place among His people. We are challenged us to look through the “windows” of our communities to welcome our neighbours and hold onto the hope that God is making all things new.

Windows on the Cross: reconciliation

Our visiting preacher is Rev Hazel Sherman from Worthing. We see that reconciliation is a deep transformation through the cross that restores our relationship with both God and others, moving us from a life of fear to one compelled by love.

Glimpses of the Kingdom: the unjust judge

We explore the parable of the persistent widow as we approach the end of our series on “surprising stories” that offer glimpses of God’s kingdom. We think about why we are called to pray without ceasing and maintain faith in a world of delayed justice, trusting in a God of grace who surely hears the cries of His people.

Luke 18:1-8.

Glimpses of the Kingdom: the shrewd manager

Our visiting preacher is Rev Vicky Martin of Union Church Heathfield, as we explore the challenging Parable of the Shrewd Manager and discover what it means to be a steward, not an owner, of God’s resources. The sermon considers how we can use worldly wealth for eternal kingdom purposes, and highlights the scandalous grace of Jesus, who paid the ultimate debt of sin on our behalf.

We look into the cross as both a mirror of the human heart and a source of unconditional mercy, offering a divine power that releases us from brokenness and enables us to build a community defined by mutual forgiveness.
