Beginning with the story of the woman caught in adultery in John chapter 8, Pastor Fran unpacks today how religion always defaults to shallow and judgmental places, but that Jesus is interested in something radically different, not retributive punishment, but restoration of our very humanity.

In this sermon about hope, Pastor Fran recalls the Holy Spirit experiences he had, from feeling God's presence to weird interactions with strangers. With Christ in us, our restoration is daily with new changes and new victories.

We live in a time of great questioning about the soul of Christian faith. In this message Pastor Fran unpacks how Jesus engaged fully with our humanity rather than steering us back into a narrow religious framework for life.

In this sermon, Pastor Fran talks about how Jesus is more than the modern Christian package which he illustrates by distinguishing the difference between Christ, the Church and Christianity. He then encourages an honest and self reflective journey of the heart towards restoration and towards the life of freedom and wholeness.

These days more people are getting honest about the variety of things found in the Bible, and it's causing some people to abandon it. Today Pastor Fran unpacks some things we've been taught about the Bible, and how Jesus spoke about it in a way that allows us to accept the Bible as it is, love it even more, and let it point us to the finding of real life.

In this sermon, Pastor Fran talks about why he is still a Christian - even with the past events of questionable church credibility. When we come out into the deep with Jesus, our faith can remain unshaken - no matter the past or present hurt of churches who have lost the plot.
