The advent of a new year brings with it a hope for change: “Perhaps this one will be different…especially after a year like 2020”. And yet, the things we’re most likely to run to – a vaccine, political change, the prospect that human affairs are trending in the right direction – are anything but certain. But what if there’s hope that doesn’t crumble beneath the weight of its own expectations? What if there’s hope that is actually rooted, not in wishful thinking, but in a real person and an historical event? What would it take to have that kind of hope? Join us online this Sunday morning at 10am to find out.

Join us this Saturday evening at 7:30pm as we unpack the defeat of sin and death by the plan-confounding, earth-shaking mystery of God-as-man and, in the process, discover two distinct ways we participate in the battle for our souls this Christmas.

Advent is about war - the war for our souls. And one quiet night in Bethlehem, almost 2,000 years ago, the tide turned. But how? What exactly changed? This Saturday night, we look at how Jesus - the Word made flesh and the Lord of Light - drives out the darkness and delivers us from death.

It might seem strange to talk about war during Advent. But the imagery of war represents two distinct realities that come together at Christmas. First, it recognises the reality of brokenness, of chaos, in the world in which we live. And second, in the manger, it sees not a safe, inoffensive baby in a manger, but the God of the universe who took on flesh and has come to ransom us. It is this low-born king, who's coming forth is from of old, in whom we hope. So this December, we look to Bethlehem, and the turning of the tide.

This week, we witness Mark's account of THE central event of history: the resurrection of Jesus, in which he is declared to be not only the earthly Man of Sorrows, but the heavenly Man of Victory!

This week, we contemplate the most shocking, sobering event in history: the death of the Son of God. Come gaze in wonder at the Suffering Servant who did not save himself so that he could save others.

Most of us do everything we can to avoid personal crisis. But this week, Jesus shows us that the way of the cross is the only way to gain an undivided heart. This week, we examine what it means to have a united heart and see how Jesus, in the midst of his journey to the cross, shepherds his disciples through their own crises.

As we continue our series in the Gospel of Mark, a young man asks Jesus a question most of us have pondered at some point: what does it look like to live the good life now? Join us this Saturday evening as we discover Jesus' answer.

Jesus' identity is not just who he is, but what he has come to do. And that has life-changing, world-shaking implications.

Do you think you have to earn God's favour? Jesus teaches that true faith never comes through external traditions, only by the grace of God and he gives us his Spirit so that we can be different.
