OVERVIEW

At Christmas we reflect on the significance of Jesus’ birth - who he would grow to become and the hope he would offer to a world in need.  As God prepared the way for Jesus’ arrival on earth, a number of people were called to participate in this great work of God, including Joseph. 

This week, Bill Brown will explore Joseph’s story and help us consider our own participation in God’s work on earth - especially when fear might tempt us to opt out.

SCRIPTURE

Isaiah 9:2, 6-7; Luke 2:26-38; Matthew 1:18-24; Luke 2:1-7, 8-14, 15-20.

OVERVIEW

Hope doesn’t always look like we thought it would or come in the ways we expected.  At Christmas, we remember and celebrate the hope that came to earth in a most surprising way - through the birth of Jesus.

His arrival signalled a great turn in the tide of history and can still mean a turn in the tide of our own lives.

Join us for our special Christmas carols services and stay afterwards as we celebrate together the birth of our Saviour King, Jesus, over food, drink and activities for kids.

‘Fear Not’ Series (Week 3/5)

SCRIPTURE

Luke 1:26-38

OVERVIEW

God can show up in the most unexpected ways.  That was certainly Zechariah and Elizabeth’s experience. God sent a messenger to them with an opportunity to be part of his unfolding work in the world, work which would bring hope to many.

Join us as we explore this remarkable story and consider how God might want to work in our own story today. 

SERMON SERIES

‘Fear Not’ Series (Week 2/5)

SCRIPTURE

Luke 1:5-23

When all seems lost, and when fear seems overwhelming, hope is our most precious commodity.  The hope that something better will come and that this is not the end. 
In some of the darkest moments in history, God shared a message of hope to his people – that he was still at work and there was hope on the horizon.

Join us as Chris Danes launches our Advent sermon series, Fear Not, and explores how God’s proclamations of hope are just as relevant for us today as they were thousands of years ago.

James 5; Matthew 6:9-13.

We so often find ourselves in conflict with others – sometimes with people we love, and sometimes with people we don’t even know. Sometimes conflict is good and necessary, but sometimes it’s a biproduct of something much less noble.

In this message, Mike Riddell will be unpacking some of James’ words regarding what is often going on under the surface of many of our interactions with others.

OVERVIEW

Most of us will have experienced how a few words spoken can cause both great destruction and great joy. Yet how seriously do we exercise caution in how we use our words?
