Kev takes a look at the well-known parable, the Prodigal Son. Kev leads us to see how when we return to God, regardless of our circumstances or what we have done, our Father welcomes us. There is total forgiveness from Him, and he He finds us 'good enough' to be treated as His son or daughter.

In the relaunch of our popular Jesus Stories series, Mark brings us a fresh insight into Jesus' first parable of the Sower. We usually view this parable through the lens of salvation, but Mark presses us to reconsider Jesus' message in light of words that God is speaking to us at this present moment, and how receptive we are to these.

Stewardship is being given the responsibility to manage and protect something that belongs to someone else. In this year when we 'come of age', Chris Lane takes us through how the church gathers and stewards its money, and asks us, what is our privilege and responsibility is in this area of financial stewardship?

If God is saying we are to 'come of age' this year, how does that affect our understanding and practice of one of the church's foundations - prayer?

This Sunday we say thank you to all you who volunteer to make Church 'happen'.

As we move into 2017, Senior Pastor Chris Lane talks about what he believes God is saying to us this year: that we as a church community are 'coming of age'. This is a time where we are maturing from a child into an adult, impacting our collective identity, the way we respond to others and the kind of responsibility that Jesus gives us.

Dennis encourages us at the start of 2017 that whatever dreams, words, aspirations and goals that we have that we have received from God, we should get ready! As the scripture says, no eye has seen, no ear has heard or entered into the heart of man what God is preparing to do with us in 2017. The plans God has for us are bigger than we think and better than we think.

In the concluding of our “Visitors” series, Chris Lane celebrates the fact that while visitors come and go, God remains with us.
