The early church faced this issue head on, and Peter learns a valuable lesson that God the Holy Spirit is on the move ahead of him.

Parishioner and Vestry member Geoff Bevan talks to all services this morning about money. Often difficult and awkward to talk about - "the elephant in the room" - however it is important for us to know the financial reality that we are living in.

Jesus tells Peter to feed his sheep, and we too must follow Jesus' words.

Rev. Pauline's sermon given at our 9am service, Sunday 1 May 2022.

Guest speaker from Barnabas Fund NZ speaks at our morning services about persecuted Christians around the world - and how we here in New Zealand may be able to offer practical help.

We live in a world where there are not a lot of 2nd chances, if we fail, people tend to come down on us like a ton of bricks. But that is not Jesus’ way…

We are all responsible for our own behaviour, and what we do, for good or ill, affects the whole Body of Christ.

It seems like we live in a world of foxes, of cunning and slyness. Jesus shows us another way – that of the mother hen sheltering her chickens under her wings, but it is a way of sacrifice.

When it all seems like chaos, that is the moment we most need faith.

Jesus’ example of resisting the lures of the devil shows us that we, made in God’s image, may also resist temptation; and also demonstrates Jesus’ humanity, as well as his divinity.
