Michael Miatke–In the midst of the world’s noise and the busyness of our own lives, God invites us to stop and listen, drawing us into deeper communion with the Lord. This same invitation calls us to live in communion with and for one another, as a community.

Matt Romano–This message explores the table as a holy meeting place, where belonging is offered, devotion is revealed, and remembrance is formed. It confronts the pull of a productivity-driven faith and invites us into a different way of living: a life shaped by presence, love, and wholehearted surrender.

As we step into a new season, this message extends two invitations:

First, come and take your seat at the table of Jesus, a table of restoration, grace, and welcome.

Second, to go and create tables of our own, spaces where ordinary moments become sacred, where heaven touches earth, and where others encounter the love of God through presence and hospitality.

Because when Jesus sits at the table, devotion is awakened, the ordinary is transformed, and lives are forever changed.

Maurice Benington–Maurice continues our series with a look at the goal of the Christan life being loving union with God. This is the invitation to communion with Him forever. The question we must face is do we really want it?

Allen Meyer–Starting our new series, Allen describes the jealous God that we serve and what that looks like. He looks at the practises needed to continuing in developing our relationship with God.

Christy McHugh–As the advent season comes to an end, and we pack away wanted or unwanted gifts. There is a gift that remains with us throughout every season. It is the gift of Emmanuel, God with us.

In the midst of tragedy, God is working his redemptive plan and fulfilling his prophecies of redeeming and renewing, he grieves at the pain of loss and yet from the humblest of beginnings comes the saviour of the world.

The God of all of Creation, I AM, this God is the God who is with us Always, without exception or asterisk.

Andrew Gilbert–The message of Christmas is the birth of Jesus. But sometimes the mess and pain of life can get in the way of our view of Him. What if He is Present with us in the middle of the mess and pain of life? Vulnerability towards Him is the key to access His Presence.

Nartarsha Wisewould–Emmanuel—“God with us”—is the central story of Scripture, revealing God’s desire to dwell with humanity. In Eden, God walked with Adam and Eve, but sin brought separation. Throughout the Old Testament He visited His people in temporary, powerful moments, pointing forward to the promise of Isaiah that God would one day come and dwell with His people. In Jesus, that promise was fulfilled as God took on flesh to save us, restore our relationship with Him, and show us how to live. After Jesus returned to the Father, the Holy Spirit came to dwell within believers, making us God’s living temple and assuring us that He will never leave or forsake us. Emmanuel means that God is present in our joy and sorrow, offering peace, hope, and abundant life—now and always.

Andrew Gilbert–Andrew completes our series this week. The letter to the Church of Laodicea reveals the trappings of a culture and how it can unintentionally lead us away from Jesus as Lord of our lives. For the Laodicean Church in particular, their wealth led them towards self-sufficiency and spiritual compromise. Jesus invites them back into intimacy with Him again, in order to overcome.

Dave McHugh–In a world marked by idolatry and instability, Jesus calls His people to remain faithful. Through His letter to the church in Philadelphia, He reminds us that He alone holds ultimate authority, opens doors no one can shut, strengthens the weak, and establishes His faithful people as pillars that stand firm amid shaking. Our invitation is to hold fast, endure, and step through the open doors of Kingdom mission before us.

Shane Willard–This week we had the privilege of having Shane Willard share with us on the letter to the Church of Sardis. This letter challenges us to wake up and not to be complacent in our walk and call with God. In our prosperous day age, even with its current challenges, we are positioned in God to live with an awareness to the high call of representing Him to the world.
