Weekly sermons from Open Icon Baptist Church, a surprisingly different Baptist congregation — inclusive, liturgical, fully online, and based in Melbourne, Australia. Our preaching takes Jesus seriously — engaging deeply with scripture, with the complexity of real life in difficult times, and with the conviction that the good news of God's love and justice is genuinely good news for everyone — no exceptions, no favourites. Preachers include our pastor Nathan Nettleton and a wide range of guest voices from across the Christian tradition. New episodes nearly every Sunday.

    The Gate That Stands Open

    Jesus came that we might have life in abundance — but abundant life can't be hoarded. The moment we try to secure it for ourselves at others' expense, it stops being life at all.

    What Were You Expecting?

    When the executed one comes back, everyone expects retribution. The shock of resurrection is that he doesn't.
