St Basil's Church

Hugh Gifford concludes our series on The Goodness of God by reflecting on Psalm 27 

Helen Hamilton continues our August sermon series on the "Goodness of God". Helen shares vulnerably from her own story to testify to the goodness of God in the midst of disappointment.

Bill Birdwood continues our teaching series on the '“Goodness of God” by explaining that the good news of Christianity should not be pictured as a set of scales on which we are judged, but a cross through which we are forgiven. He shares an inspiring story about his friend, who experienced dramatic transformation in his life through a revelation of God’s mercy.

Abi Horne begins our new teaching series '“The Goodness of God” by sharing how God uses the weak and foolish things of the world, and that no matter how empty, broken or fragile we might feel, God longs to meet us in that place and bring us to a deeper understanding of who we are, in Christ. Nobody is disqualified or discounted, but welcomed, loved and vital in the Kingdom.

"This is Us" is a teaching series exploring the vision and values of St Basil's. This week we wrapped up the series by looking at The Imaginative Life.

"This is Us" is a teaching series exploring the vision and values of the church. In this third talk, Pete James unpacks the grand narrative of scripture as one moving from creation to renewal and explains how we are invited to join God in his mission to make all things new. He outlines the call on us to live lives characterised by kinship with the marginalised; showing mercy in the face of symptoms and seeking justice in the face of causes.

"This is Us" is a teaching series exploring the vision and values of the church. In this second message, Pete James explains how critical it is that we follow the way of Jesus, together. He explains how the rise of individualism has created a preference based society but that the church has to swim against that tide to create a Christ-like community that will be a witness in the world.
