In the final session of our ‘Church: defined’ series, we explore what it means for the church to be ‘God’s field’. In this sermon, Pastor Phil reflects on how fields are loaded with potential and purpose, and shows us how this should help us to understand who and what the church is.

In this message Dom looks at the metaphor of church becoming the Holy Temple of God and why that’s important in our understanding of how God’s presence fills the church and as a result impacts the world.

Continuing our 'Church Defined' series, Adam looks at how the Church is a temple. The place where heaven intersects earth and the presence of God resides. We need to understand and learn to live in this awesome freedom and also embrace the responsibility that goes hand in hand with this.

What does it mean to be The Body? How can we embody both unity and diversity as members of the body? In this message, continuing our 'Church Defined' series, Adam explores the potential of the church as a body, 'each member doing it's part' and encourages us to remain connected to the head and demonstrate love in action.

In this message, Dom looks at what it means to be the body of Christ, why unity is an essential component of being a healthy church and how we become a better church not just a bigger church.

Pastor Fru continued the ‘Church Defined’ series by exploring the metaphor of God’s church as a building of living stones which are scattered and gathered purposefully from week to week.  Linking 1 Peter and Ecclesiastics 3, she teaches how we need the church to be regularly gathered to remind us that we are God's one chosen people and how we need to be regularly scattered so we can be the light of the world.

In his letter to the believers in Asia Minor, the Apostle Peter describes the church as ‘living stones being built together into a spiritual house’. In this sermon, Pastor Phil explores and unpacks the profound and powerful way that this imagery should impact our relationships with one another in the church.

What does it mean to be The Family of God? Being part of a family comes with both rights and responsibilities. We need to live in such a way that we understand our rights and also exercise our responsibilities, both to the world at large but especially to each other within the family.

In this message, Dom looks at the role of family and how God wants the church to think and behave like one. In fact the church’s missional endeavour and impact will be compromised until we fully embrace our family identity. God wants to set the lonely and strangers into a family....enter the church!

In this message, Dom looks at the origin of the term church and it’s implications for believers. Things may never look the same for the church but understanding the church as the Bride of Christ helps us realise that we are in a time of preparation for the return of Christ.
