Standing Out: Listening and Dialogue
Listening and dialogue are important qualities for the church community to express because they are integral to who God is and how we are created as human beings to thrive and live in the flow of God’s mission.
Standing Out: Simplicity
In our busy world what is the place for simplicity? Could this be a key spiritual practice that helps us live freer more joyful lives?
Standing Out: Spiritual Family
What is the basis of belonging? What does your upbringing teach you about family? What does it mean to join God's family?
Humanity is invited into a union with God which both respects our culture and transcends it. There is no tribe or tongue, ethnicity or gender that satisfies our desire to belong.
Only in Christ do we find an assurance our heart’s long for to belong. There is an inner circle we all long to discover in the Trinity.
Standing Out: Holy Spirit
The filling of the Holy Spirit can be intoxicating as we discover and experience our union with Christ and place in our heavenly Father’s heart.
The most important standout quality of the church
What makes the church stand out?
This message looks at what it has stood out for and what it can stand out for.
Standing Out
You're called to stand out, but maybe not in the way you you've been thinking.
If you believe your desire for distinctiveness can be satisfied by accomplishing more than you're going to be disappointed.
I want us to embark on a conversation about how you can stand out with out the pain of doing more, posting more or achieving more.
God is walking with you, you just didn’t realise it
God is walking with you, you just didn’t realise it.
This message unpacks how can you recognise God in your life and those around you.
Dealing with failure
God deals with our failure in a whole other way than most of us realise. Find out more in this short video.
Overwhelmed by freedom
I want to look at the relationship between truth and freedom, and then freedom and love. In John 8, Jesus says that once we know the truth, the truth will set us free. This pairing of truth and freedom can be found from the very start of the Biblical story. A lot of people look at the story of Adam and Eve and focus on their inherent sinfulness – the ‘sinful human nature’. But my main takeaway from that story is a bit different.
Overwhelmed by grace
What is grace? Dan unpacks the story of Jesus with a woman about to be stoned by the relgious leaders. What happens next changes her and it can change yours.
Overwhelmed by Faith
What happens when prayer doesn’t seem to work? Where does faith come in? How do we contunue to pray?
Overwhelmed by hope
Looking at the story of Lazurus' resurrection in John 11 we learn that Jesus brings hope when we feel hopeless. He is gracious and compassionate as he enters our world and our false and destructive beliefs only to turn them around into real hope.
Overwhelmed by peace
Maral shares her story of the storm and engages with scripture as she shares the wisdom of God in navigating the storms of life.
If you are going through a storm right now, this will encourage you and help you see from a fresh perspective what God is doing.
Overwhelmed by Joy
I want you to know your true history originates beyond your parents and grandparents, your nationality, it goes way further back to the Father, Son and Spirit dreaming you up and creating you to share in his joy.
Overwhelming your fears
Jesus redeems our experience of humanity and reality. He replaces the constant fear within humanity of an absence of his loving Presence with the assurance of his Presence.
