On Sunday, Stan kicked off our new sermon series, 'Awe & Wonder' by exploring how both outer space and inner space reveal the same truth: the more we discover, the more we find we don't know. This invites us to trust God in the midst of profound and deep mystery, and to resist the modern urge to control and master it.

Readings: Job 38:1-21

On Sunday, sharing vulnerably, Stan explored how aging strips away the identities and abilities we once built our worth on, weaving personal stories alongside Scripture to show that our deepest identity is a gift from God that doesn't diminish with age, so growing old can be less about circling toward loss and more about circling closer to God, still bearing the fruit of praise and worship.

The youth lead us through a prayerful reflection on the Lord's Prayer.

Josh explores how the Transfiguration invites us to wake up to the "Divine More" already breaking into ordinary life through prayer, beauty, and unguarded moments; and to carry that back into our daily lives.

Readings: 1 Kings 19:11-13; Exodus 24:12-18; Luke 9:28-36

Readings: Genesis 4:2-7; Colossians 3; Mark 3:1-5

Jeremy concludes our exploration of how the seven deadly sins get in the way of us living into the fullness of life that Jesus promises us. He explores how anger ignored and internalised can lead to wrath, but because we are dead in Christ, we can have the courage to "look under the bonnet" when the warning light of anger comes on.

Chris Clarke unpacks lust, the disordered desire that hijacks something good (attention, intimacy, love) and turns it toward secrecy, objectification, and escape. The path out towards 'fully-aliveness' isn't willpower but bringing our desires into the light and learning to love rightly.

Readings: Job 31:1-12; Matt 5: 27-30; Psalm 51:10

Charmaine explores how gluttony is any overindulgence used to numb pain and avoid deeper emotional or spiritual hunger that's only truly satisfied by God. She explores how the path to living fully alive is trusting God's provision and letting the Spirit build the self-control to face our pain honestly rather than escape it.

Josh explores the many manifestations of sloth/acedia which is not simply limited to laziness, but all the ways we put off doing the most important things.

Jeremy explores the sin of envy and how envy robs us of the fullness of life Christ has for us. He explores the parable of the prodigal son as a parable directed to the envious.

Josh explores the sin of Greed and the 'never enough' drive for more, and how that diminishes the life Jesus offers us. As an antidote, we are invited to cultivate gratitude and trust erode the power of the hungers that drive us.
