To make your way in the world, you need to know where you are. So, what shape does the Christian life have? Where are we located? In the first sermon of a new series, Site Pastor Richard Glover shows how the central New Testament doctrine of our union with Christ provides a map of the Christian life.

Bible Readings: Mark 8.34–35; Colossians 3.1–4

If God is good, why is there so much pain in the world? For many people, the state of the world calls the Christian message into serious doubt. Christianity can't be good news if God is happy with things the way they are. How do we make sense of the claim that God is good and loving when there's so much suffering?

Christ Church Inner West's Senior Minister Andrew Katay continues our series engaging with three common objections to Christian belief.

Bible Readings: Psalm 23; Luke 13.1–5

For many people, a quick look at the news headlines is enough to turn them off Christianity. They see a hypocritical church, where power is abused and then covered up. Others have been the victims of that abuse. What do we make of this? can the church's message of good news about Jesus still be good when the church is so often bad?

St. John's Site Pastor Richard Glover continues our series engaging with three common objections to Christian belief.

Bible Readings: Ezekiel 34.1–16; 1 Peter 5.1–11

Christianity claims that there’s a God who loves us and wants to be known. Why, then, does he seem so hard to find?

St. John's Site Pastor Richard Glover kicks off a short series engaging with three common objections to Christian belief.

Bible Readings: Psalm 10; Acts 17.16–34

What's your greatest failure? In this passage, we see Jesus confront the failure who is Peter—and bring healing to his failures. We learn that Jesus specialises in failures; failure is where Jesus does his best work.

St. John's Site Pastor Richard Glover preaches in our post-Easter series.

Bible Reading: John 21.1–25

The experience of doubt can be like being tossed around by the waves of the sea. How do we move from doubt to faith and find stable ground for our feet? The incredible encounter between "Doubting Thomas" and the risen Jesus shows us how to doubt faithfully.

St. John's Site Pastor Richard Glover preaches in our post-Easter series.

Bible Reading: John 20.19–31

When we meet Mary Magdalene in the garden, she thinks she's lost everything. "They have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid him!" But her weeping turns to joy when she meets the risen Lord. If we cling to him, we too can receive back everything that we've ever had taken away.

St. John's Site Pastor Richard Glover preaches on Easter Day.

Bible Reading: John 20.1–18

Richard Glover (St. John's Ashfield Site Pastor) continues our series in the Gospel of Mark. This is it: the moment for answering the most fundamental question of all—Who is Jesus? If you get the answer right, it'll be the major turning point of your whole life; and you'll need to get spiritual clarity on both Jesus, and yourself.

Bible passage: Mark 8.22–38

Who will be welcomed into the kingdom of God? Clare Potts, a member of St. John's Ashfield, continues our series in the Gospel of Mark. The disciples still don't get it; neither do the religious leaders; and Jesus is exasperated. What are they missing? Jesus is in is own person and ministry fulfilling God's promises to his people—and through them, to the whole world.

Bible passage: Mark 7.24–8.21.

Rev. Dr. Andrew Katay (Senior Minister, Christ Church Inner West) continues our series in the Gospel of Mark. We all, deep down, have a sense of our own defilement. In Mark 7, Jesus unpacks where that comes from, what the heart of the issue is, and how to deal with it.

Bible passage: Mark 7.1–23
