On Sunday, Pete James continued our series "Seize the Day" by looking at the question: "is your money helping grow the kingdom of God?". Speaking from the parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12, Pete highlights how significant a discipleship issue money is because of its destructive power but also its creative potential. He speaks about how giving can limit the former and release the latter and calls us into the New Testament vision of being "stewards" (oikonomia) of the money that flows to us that it might flow through us and bless the community around us.

Pete James continues our series "Seize the Day" by looking at the critical discipleship issue of how we use our time. Outlining how Jesus lived from identity and toward purpose, Pete unpacks the vision of the New Testament to have our lives purposed toward union with God. Pete then explores three diversions from this way of life and how they effect how we use our time: living with a victim narrative; sleep-walking through life; and investing in idols.

Pete James opens up our new teaching series "Seize the Day: confronting the causes of us putting off God's Kingdom" with a look at what happens when we experience shame and unworthiness. Pete unpacks the parable of the prodigal son and how the embrace of our heavenly Father "whilst still far off" is what should define us, not our shame.

Speaking from both Hebrews 11 and the Exodus narrative, Pete Hughes encourages us as a church that spiritual maturity takes a lifetime and comes from trusting God's power, provision and presence.

Pete James gives an update on the season ahead for St Basil’s. 

Becky Callaghan concludes our series “God Has a Name” looking at Yahweh Shalom: God our Peace.

In our penultimate talk in the series "God Has a Name", Pete James look at Yahweh Rohi: God is our Shepherd. Unpacking Psalm 23, Pete outlines how this tells us God is with us, leads us, provides for us, looks for us when we go astray, protects us and faithfully brings us home.

Dan Miles continues our God Has a Name series with 'Yahweh My Banner'. In the heat of the battle Moses adopts a posture of prayer and surrender to direct the Israelite’s attention onto God, his banner. Like Moses, in times of trial we’re invited by God to put weight on his promise and character - that he is present, he is good and that he is able - such that our lives would also point others to him.

This week Meg Loney continues the ‘God has a name’ series, unpacking the name ‘Jehovah Mekadesh’ (The Lord who Sanctifies). This talk focuses on God’s holiness, and how through contact with Him, we become set apart and repurposed for His Kingdom.

Jonah Horne continues our series looking at God’s names found in the Old Testament. Ezekiel declares Yahweh Shammah from a place of exile, despair and hopelessness. Jonah asks, how can we as God’s people hear the hopeful voice of God in the places of hopelessness in our lives?
