Noah and his family have survived the flood of judgement on the earth, but the world they open the door to was drastically different from the one they left. They're alone with God, in a fresh, new creation, and they're given another go at setting up the world in obedience to God. Maybe it will be different this time?

Noah and the Flood is a story that many people are familiar with, even outside of the church. But is it just a children's story about angry God and naughty humanity? Rev Richard Humphrey from St. David's Cathedral was our guest preacher this week, and showed us how the flood points us many years into the future to a future Saviour.

In Genesis 4 we are given our first glimpse of life outside of Eden, and it's pretty horrible. Adam and Eve's eldest son, Cain, allows sin to rule over him and he murders his own brother. How does God react to the very first murder? Not as you might expect.

Everything was going so good in the Garden of Eden. Until...
Genesis 3 is one of the most important chapters in the Bible, explaining so much about why we read what we do in the rest of the Bible. This sermon was given at our church in Sorell, by Rev John Langlois.

Genesis 2 always gets overshadowed by chapter 1, but without good reason! Genesis 2 is a deep dive into the creation and commissioning of humanity, and so many good Christian doctrines are found in seed form in this wonderful chapter, particularly how we are to understand the role of men and women in life.

Genesis 1 is the opening of a letter from God to his creation. Whilst it is a glorious chapter where God introduces himself to us, the clear parts often get overlooked by the unclear, meaning Genesis 1 can be a point of contention for many Christians. Dave Horne preaches on how to get the most out of Genesis 1, without falling into the trap of causing unnecessary division.

Christians should be people that really know how to feast well! We should be great feasters, but what is feasting? What was it for Jesus? How can feast today, and how can we do it well?
Dave preaches about some key things that feasting is, isn't, why feasting well can be hard in our culture, and why Jesus wants his followers to be a feasting people!

Does fasting have any influence on our spiritual relationship with God? Isn't it just an old-fashioned pratice that we've progressed away from? Dave preached on why fasting was historically important for Israel in the Old Testament, and took at look what role Jesus saw fasting taking in the life of his followers.

Is your prayer life all that it can be? For many of us, our prayer is limited to particular times or seasons. But prayer is always available! God has given us this incredible gift of round the clock access to his attentive ear, so as disciples of Christ, people saved by him, we don't want to take that for granted.

Being a follower of Jesus who wants to grow in Christlikeness starts with confession and repentance. Not just acknowleding sin, but actually stopping sinning. But God meets our repentance with forgiveness and our darkness with light.
