    Lent: Jesus' Victory in the Wilderness

    What does it look like to live a life that is guided by the Holy Spirit and which seeks to please God? It looks like great spiritual highs and great spiritual testing. Jesus offers not only a blueprint of how to overcome the core temptation – to believe we are alone and have to solve our own problems – he also acts as our substitute, succeeding where we fail. In the end, it is in our weakness –  our 'deadness' – that God's power begins to work. Baptism is both a picture of this and a pattern for how to overcome temptation. You are not alone.

    Lent: Count Yourself Dead to Sin and Alive to Christ.

    Lent is a season of repentance, renewal and preparation. Traditionally it is has been a time the Church has welcomed people to be reconciled to God and to be baptised. While we don't wait for lent to invite people to be baptised, we do seek to understand the significance of the act theologically, spiritually and relationally. In this sermon, Pete offers a rich theology of baptism which will be encouraging for those who have already been baptised, and stirring for those who haven't.

    Parables of the Kingdom: The Talents

    Jonathan concludes (for now) our series on the kingdom parables by looking at the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). In what, on the surface, appears to be a story about earning our way to God's good graces, Jonathan shows that life in the kingdom is about entering into a cycle of generosity with the God who desires to give gifts to us and through us.

    Parables of the Kingdom: The Workers In the Vineyard

    We are in a series exploring Jesus' parables of the kingdom. In this sermon, Lloyd unpacks the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) showing how it perhaps ought to be called "the parable of the generous landowner." Lloyd reminds us that whether we 'raise the dead or take a nap, the pay is the same' and that the reward of following Jesus is worth everything.

    Parables of the Kingdom: Repentance that leads to Life

    Anne continues our series exploring Jesus' parables by looking at a story, a parable and a memorable saying of Jesus, all of which speak to the dynamic of how we enter into the kingdom of God, not by wallowing in shame, but by recognising the goodness of the one to whom we return.

    Parables of the Kingdom: The Unstoppable Growth of God's Kingdom

    Jonathan continues our series on the Parables of the Kingdom looking at four parables in (from Matthew 13:1-35) about things that grow in the dark in ways we can't control or understand. In doing so, he reminds us that God's work of establishing the kingdom in this world and in our heart is in His hands – all He asks us to do is to live a life of deep trust in His faithfulness.

    Parables of the Kingdom: The Good Samaritan

    Pete continues our series on the parables of the kingdom, looking at the parable of the Good Samaritan and inviting us to consider the surprising and subversive ways God's mercy shows up where we least expect it, and to respond in kind.
