    Groaning for Home – Mark Sayers

    In the final week of the Being Human series, Mark Sayers uses the strange phenomenon of "rock fever" in Hawaii to explore why even paradise can't satisfy a homesick heart. Turning to Romans 8, Mark traces the ache underneath every human search for escape, rest, or transcendence back to a single truth: home is not home without the presence of God. From the incarnation to the wordless groans of the Spirit interceding within us, this is a meditation on how God doesn't call us out of our weakness and mundane, embodied lives; he meets us in them, and transforms us there.

    Stepping Into Magnanimity – Mark Sayers

    Ever sat in a room and felt the quiet dread of What am I doing here? Mark Sayers names that feeling, imposter syndrome and takes us to Romans 8, where creation itself waits on tiptoe for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed. Drawing on Thomas Aquinas's forgotten vice of "pusillanimity" (the sin of shrinking back from the good we're capable of). Mark unpacks how comparison, perfectionism, and fear of risk quietly convince us to hang back rather than step forward. The alternative isn't arrogance; it's magnanimity: a big-souled, God-given confidence to fullyinhabit who we were made to be, for his glory rather than our own. A challenging, hopeful word for anyone who's ever wondered if they're too small for what they've been called to. To find out more about Red Church, head to redchurch.au

    The King Who Kneels – Mark Sayers

    Week four of the Being Human series takes us into John 13, the astonishing moment Jesus, knowing full authority had been placed in his hands, gets up from the table and kneels to wash his disciples' feet. Mark Sayers moves past the familiar reading of this passage as a leadership lesson and into something far more personal: an image of the God of the universe coming close, getting low, and choosing love over power. If you've ever felt caught between the tension of a big calling and your own fragility this one is for you. To find out more about Red Church, head to redchurch.au

    The Word Became Flesh – Mark Sayers

    Continuing the Being Human series, Mark Sayers opens John 1 and unpacks one of the most revolutionary sentences ever written: "the Word became flesh." Mark exposes an ancient lie that has shaped everything from Plato's cave to The Matrix to today's transhumanist dreams: the belief that this world, our bodies, and our everyday lives are somehow inferior, and the goal is to escape upward into something better. But the gospel moves in the opposite direction. God doesn't call us to escape; He comes down. Jesus incarnates into ordinary human life, redeems the material world, and rises bodily from the grave. Mark reminds us that every moment holds the potential for holiness, the ordinary, the boring, the difficult, the beautiful, because our humanness is the very arena where God is at work.

    The Uncanny Valley – Mark Sayers

    Continuing our series Being Human, Mark Sayers turns to Psalm 23 and takes us into what roboticists call the "uncanny valley". That unsettling space where something appears almost human but not quite, showing us how this concept isn't just about technology but points to something deeply spiritual. Scripture places humans between two peaks — created in the image of God with agency and creativity, yet formed from the dust with mortality and fragility. When we forget this, we fall into one of two temptations: overreaching to be like God, or collapsing into resignation. But the scriptures point to a narrow path through the valley, marked by the biblical rhythm of complaint, petition, and praise, a language Jesus himself prayed on the cross. Mark reminds us that the Good Shepherd walks with us through the valley, and that being truly human means learning to walk it with Him. To find out more about Red Church, head to redchurch.au

    Blessed by God – Mark Sayers

    Mark Sayers opens a brand new series by tackling one of the most urgent and contested questions of our time: what is a human? As AI, autonomous robots, and drones increasingly appear in our workplaces, schools, and streets, our culture is being forced to reach for an answer, and the church has something profoundly hopeful to say in this moment. Turning to Genesis 1:27, he reminds us that humans are not just made in the image of God, but blessed by Him. He contrasts a culture caught in envy, achievement creep, and dopamine-chasing with a biblical vision of humans as gifted receivers rather than anxious graspers. It's a timely invitation to step off the treadmill and see the world again as God intended: a place of blessing meant to be received with gratitude.

    Turning Strangers Into Neighbours – Andy Kroussoratsky

    In this message, Andy opens Luke 10 and the parable of the Good Samaritan to explore something central to the church's heritage but easy to overlook — hospitality. Drawing on his years in the coffee industry, the extraordinary story of Gander, Newfoundland (nicknamed "Casserole City" after housing 6,000 stranded passengers post-9/11), and the early church's radical practice of philozenia — literally, love of strangers. Andy shows how agape love flowing through everyday hospitality has always been one of the church's most powerful witnesses. In a culture marked by isolation and loneliness, he calls us to keep embracing the kind of welcome that turns strangers into neighbours, and reminds us that when we open our lives, people meet the God who first welcomed us.

    Beyond the Narrow Life – Rob Lim

    Our dear friend Rob Lim is back with us, challenging us to recognise that we live in a narrowing culture, one that shapes us into thinner, monomodal versions of ourselves. Drawing from Ecclesiastes, Rob unpacks three strongholds that keep us small: professionalisation, commoditisation, and convenience. But in the midst of this, God is doing a new thing. Rob points to signs of a wider awakening breaking out across the world — prayer movements rising on Wall Street, theologians invited into AI firms, university campuses experiencing revival reminding us that we are living in a kairos moment. What might God do as we lean into this moment, not just to see revival, but an awakening that widens into every corner of society, family, and workplace in our time and in our day!
