    Dwelling in Fullness | When I Laid the Earth’s Foundation | 7 December 2025

    In this sermon, Langdon Stewart explores how Christians can trust God in times of deep suffering and uncertainty, drawing from Job 38–41 and Colossians 1:15–23. By reflecting on God’s response to Job, the message highlights God as creator, sustainer, governor, carer, sovereign, and relational. The sermon then connects these truths to Jesus Christ, showing that the fullness of God revealed in Job is made known personally through Jesus, who reconciles all things through the cross. Listeners are encouraged to trust Jesus in difficult circumstances and to walk alongside others with hope grounded in the gospel.   Questions to Think About How do you usually respond when suffering or hardship feels unfair or unexplained? What does God’s response to Job teach us about our limits and God’s wisdom? Which aspect of God’s character (creator, sustainer, sovereign, carer, relational) do you find hardest to trust, and why? How does Colossians 1 deepen your understanding of who Jesus is in the midst of suffering? Who might God be calling you to walk alongside and encourage during a difficult season? Key Takeaways God remains sovereign, wise, and caring even when suffering does not make sense. Jesus reveals the fullness of God and reconciles broken creation through his death and resurrection. Trusting Christ in hardship allows us to find hope and to point others toward him in their struggles.

    Dwelling in Fullness | When I Laid the Earth’s Foundation | 7 December 2025 | 6PM

    In this sermon, Peter Lenehan reflects on the overwhelming greatness and supremacy of Jesus Christ, drawing from Job 38 and Colossians 1:15–23. By contrasting the vastness of creation with human smallness, Peter invites listeners to recover a biblical sense of awe before God. He explains that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the supreme ruler over all creation, the one through whom and for whom all things were made, and the one who sustains the universe. At the same time, this infinitely powerful Christ humbly entered creation, suffered on the cross, and reconciled sinners to God through His blood. Peter calls the church to respond not with indifference or entitlement, but with worship, perseverance in faith, and lives centred on Christ’s purpose, continuing firmly in the hope of the gospel. 5 Questions to Think About How does God’s speech in Job 38 challenge your view of your own importance and control? What does it mean for your daily life that all things were created through Jesus and for Jesus (Colossians 1:16)? In what ways might you have developed a “small view” of Christ, and how can that be reshaped? How does knowing that Jesus holds all things together (Colossians 1:17) affect how you face uncertainty or anxiety? What “spiritual billboards” (people, places, or practices) help you remain established and firm in your faith? 3 Things to Take Away from the Message Jesus is supreme over all creation — He is the creator, sustainer, and rightful ruler of everything (Colossians 1:15–17). The supreme Christ chose humility and the cross — The one who made the universe reconciled sinners to God through His death (Colossians 1:19–22). The right response to Christ is awe-filled worship and perseverance — A true faith continues, remains grounded, and lives for Jesus’ purposes (Colossians 1:23).

    Thanksgiving for Jesus the Messiah | Shavuot for Renewal | 30 November 2025

    In this sermon, Robin Kinstead continues the Thanksgiving for Jesus the Messiah series by focusing on the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) as described in Leviticus 23:15–22, and its fulfilment through the giving of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. He explains how the Feast of Weeks marked the completion of the harvest and was a celebration of God’s provision, generosity, and faithfulness. Robin shows how this feast points forward to Pentecost, when God poured out His Spirit on all believers, forming the church and empowering God’s people to live holy, thankful, and outward-focused lives. The sermon highlights God’s concern for both worship and compassion, particularly through the command to care for the poor and the outsider, and calls the church to live as Spirit-filled people who reflect God’s generosity and grace in the world. 5 Questions to Think About How does the Feast of Weeks in Leviticus 23:15–22 help you understand God’s heart for gratitude, generosity, and community? What does the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:1–4) mean for how you live as a follower of Jesus today? In what ways has God been faithful in providing for you that should lead to thanksgiving and praise? How can obedience and generosity go hand-in-hand in your worship of God? Who are the people God may be calling you to notice, include, or care for as part of living out Spirit-filled faith? 3 Things to Take Away from the Message God completes what He begins — The Feast of Weeks reminds us that God is faithful to bring His work to completion, fulfilled ultimately through the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit empowers God’s people — Pentecost marks the beginning of the church’s mission, enabling believers to live for Jesus with boldness and unity (Acts 2). Thankful worship leads to generous living — God’s provision moves His people to care for others, especially the vulnerable, as an expression of true thanksgiving (Leviticus 23:22).
