Bible Text: John 1:1-18Preacher: Jono DeenickThis week we turn to consider John's introduction to his gospel. It's quite different to the other gospels and yet it still reveals an enormous amount about Jesus. Today we will consider what it means that Jesus is the light who came into the world. What does that mean? And what is the darkness that He came to push back? As we draw near to Christmas, this is a great opportunity for us to stop and consider our glorious Saviour.

Bible Text: Acts 5:1-11Preacher: Dan KroonThe story of Ananias and Sapphira is not just a warning against human greed and hypocrisy. It’s a warning about the pervasive and destructive threat of sin, in both the heart and the Body (the church), even in the shadow of the Cross and the age of the Spirit. The forgiveness of Jesus does not make us immune to sin, but it is an ongoing cure until sin is completely eradicated.

Bible Text: Psalm 127Preacher: Phil PoppingCan there be any greater question than, 'what should I do with my life'? It would be great if we each had a verse directed straight at us saying, 'you need to be a business owner, she needs to be a dental assistant'. There might not be a plan for you that you are called to discover and live by. But, is there any guidance from God as to where to direct our lives, or are we on our own? If there's no blueprint from God, is there at least a compass? How do we know if our life choices have God's blessing?

Bible Passage: 1 Peter 4:7-11Preacher: Jono DeenickThis week we have the final message in our 'Worship in every direction' serries. We've seen that we are to give ourselves completely to God so that every part of our life is done to the honour and praise of Him. We can do that as we draw together as His people, as we give to Kingdom work, as we delve deep into His word so that we might know Christ well and as we reach out with the gospel. In our message today we consider how we can use the many different gifts God has graciously given us so that we might build His church and bring the gospel to those who don't know Jesus.

Bible Passage: 2 Corinthians 5 : 11-21Preacher: Phil PoppingBeing a diplomat or an ambassador sounds like it could be fun - it's certainly prestigious. Being able to represent your country's viewpoint and negotiate for it's good would be an incredible privilege. This week we're told that we're Christ's ambassadors. This is a glorious privilege, not a burden!

Bible Passage: Colossians 2:1-8Preacher: Ben RingWhat do you think are the signs of a worshiping community? I’m sure many things come to mind, but hopefully this Sunday we will see that a worshiping community is a community who dig deep into the knowledge of God. And as we follow Paul’s words through Colossians 2, we will come to understand that our worship ought to be rooted and built up in Christ – the one who holds all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Bible Text: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15, 9:6-15Preacher: Phil PoppingWe're all excited at the idea of a gospel harvest - seeing many people come to faith and maturity in Jesus. The idea that we might be a healthy, outward looking church that sees people grow and change and come to faith is an exciting one. How can we be part of something like that?

Bible Text: Hebrews 10:19-25Preacher: Jono DeenickAs we continue our series considering what it means to be fully engaged in worshipping our God. This week we will look at what it means to be fully engaged in drawing together. How do our gatherings, whether our Sunday morning worship services or small groups or prayer group, honour and display God's worth? And how can they help us worship God in all of our lives?

Bible Text: Romans 12:1-2Preacher: Jono DeenickThis week we begin a new series called, 'Worship in every direction.' Over the coming weeks we'll be looking at what it means to live as a follower of Jesus. Today, we'll see that at the heart of the Christian life is worship. Our lives should be all about worshiping God. And yet that worship is expressed not just as we dwell on God, but as we love each other, gather with each other, serve one another and seek to enrich the lives of others. Our worship of God expresses itself, in every direction.

Bible Text: Ezekiel 37:1-14Preacher: Juhan KloosterThere are times in life where we experience great hardship and where the words of Psalm 23 resonate with our hearts as we “walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” Here in Ezekiel 37 we find a different valley. A valley of dry bones. A valley of death and despair. And yet as Ezekiel walks with the Lord among these dead and dry bones here is a glimmer of hope as the Lord asks Ezekiel a shocking question; “Son of man, can these bones live?” Join us this Sunday as we behold the amazing power of our sovereign Lord who is able to renew, empower, and restore His people when all hope seems lost.
