This week, Rob invites us to reframe our expectations by becoming more confident in the nature of God. Sharing everyday disappointments and the disciples’ journey to Emmaus, he explores the difference between an empire mindset of success and failure and the pilgrim path of walking with Jesus. Together, we’re reminded that even when life feels uncertain, Jesus draws near, shifts our perspective and leads us into more than we imagined. Follow The Collective Church on Facebook

This week, Kirsti continued our Reframing theme, turning to Joshua's encounter outside Jericho and Gideon's call in Judges 6. She asked whether we're posing the right questions, looked at inheritance belonging to Jesus, the different economy of the early church in Acts 19, and the choice between the railway track and the pilgrim path. The gathering closed with a prophetic picture of David's stones. Follow The Collective Church on Facebook

This week, Hamish brought a message called "Reframing Hope." Drawing from the journey of Moses and the Israelites, he unpacked how the love of God redeems our imagination and lifts our eyes beyond present reality. Comfort asks for relief, but hope asks for inheritance. An invitation to let God paint a bigger picture of our future and step courageously into it. Follow The Collective Church on Facebook

This week Sean Williams was with us, sharing on Small Obedience, Generational Impact - a look at Gideon's story. The struggle, Sean suggests, wasn't fear but a culture of compromise that dulled God's voice. The turning point comes through Gideon's father Joash, who chooses repentance and shields his son's obedience. Jannine closes with Isaiah 41 and the wind that blows away the chaff. The worst thing is never the last thing. Follow The Collective Church on Facebook

This week, Ant invites us to reframe — discovering that a new way of seeing becomes a new way of being. Drawing on a moving visit to Gaudí's Sagrada Família and the truth of Ephesians, she explores how we so often view life through broken lenses of performance and "not enough." The invitation? To sit with Jesus in heavenly places, where our truest identity is found. Follow The Collective Church on Facebook

This week Philip picks up the thread on reframing and identity in Christ. Drawing from the story of the spies in number 13 who saw themselves as grasshoppers, Rahab’s testimony in Joshua and Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 15, he explores how true identity flows from seeing ourselves in the light of who God is. By Grace, we work from identity not for it - stepping into audacious calling Follow The Collective Church on Facebook

This week, Shayne and Kirsti explore the powerful theme of reframing — choosing the lens through which we see our circumstances. Shayne draws from Numbers 13 and the story of the twelve spies, contrasting the fearful ten with the faithful spirits of Joshua and Caleb. Are you choosing the safety of Egypt or the adventure of the Promised Land? Even in the compost heap, there is fruit. Follow The Collective Church on Facebook

This week, members of The Collective share testimonies of transformation — through baptism, answered prayer, and trials — before Kirsti unpacks two powerful images: greenhouses and forests. Drawing from Ezekiel 36 and Isaiah 61, she reminds us that we carry the flourishing presence of Jesus within us, and like trees thriving in Chernobyl, we are designed to bring life to the most inhospitable places.

This week, Mark unpacks the finished work of the cross and what it truly means to walk in resurrection life. Drawing on the simplicity and power of the gospel, he explores our identity as sons and daughters of God, the unconditional nature of our inheritance in Christ, and how communion is a dynamic, faith-filled proclamation - not mere ritual - that releases divine exchange into our everyday lives.

This week, Kirsti reflects on Saul’s encounter with Jesus to show how true identity is found in being made new in Christ. Rather than simple behaviour change, this rebirth is a deep transformation of heart, mind, and purpose. With help from Cas’s insight, the message calls us to leave false identity behind and walk with Jesus into wholeness, humility, and community. Follow The Collective Church on Facebook
