Paul in Athens, a Muslim Uber driver, and a Georgian bishop walk into a sermon — and together reframe what Christian interfaith encounter could look like.
Jesus came that we might have life in abundance — but abundant life can't be hoarded. The moment we try to secure it for ourselves at others' expense, it stops being life at all.
The resurrection doesn't restore what we lost — it reveals what we were always becoming: living icons through whom the world might glimpse the life of God.
When Jesus says "I am," he's not just making a claim — he's pulling a thread that runs from a burning bush through a valley of dry bones to a man walking out of a tomb.

Weekly sermons from Open Icon Baptist Church, a surprisingly different Baptist congregation — inclusive, liturgical, fully online, and based in Melbourne, Australia. Our preaching takes Jesus…
seriously — engaging deeply with scripture, with the complexity of real life in difficult times, and with the conviction that the good news of God's love and justice is genuinely good news for everyone — no exceptions, no favourites. Preachers include our pastor Nathan Nettleton and a wide range of guest voices from across the Christian tradition. New episodes nearly every Sunday.
