Too Good to be True
Mar 800:57:15Tap to summarizeWhat makes you truly smile—not just laugh, but smile from deep inside? In this message, we explore the greatest rescue story ever told: your rescue from the dominion of darkness into the kingdom of God's beloved Son. We examine the dark reality we were trapped in—enslaved to sin, blind, and powerless to escape—and discover the unexpected rescue God orchestrated through Jesus' death and resurrection. Now we stand as beloved sons and daughters in God's family, heirs of an eternal inheritance, living under the loving rule of the King who gave everything to set us free. This is the kind of truth that should make you smile.

Mar 100:43:15Tap to summarizeIn this message, Peter unpacks Paul’s bold prayer that believers would be strengthened with all power according to God’s glorious might—not power in proportion to our need, but in proportion with who God is. This isn’t strength for show, but Spirit-given power for endurance in impossible situations and patience with impossible people. Exploring the difference between a waypoint and a destination, we’re reminded not to settle short of God’s goal for us: resilient, Spirit-filled perseverance that outlasts pressure. With reflections from C. S. Lewis and the example of Stephen in Acts, this sermon calls us to discover that when our strength runs out, God’s power is only just getting started.

Feb 2200:45:40Tap to summarizeWhat comes to mind when you hear the word “more”? While some good things can become harmful in excess, Scripture shows us there are gifts — like love, hope, and encouragement — that we can never have too much of. In this message, we explore Paul’s prayer in Epistle to the Colossians 1 and discover that God invites us into a kind of “more” marked by deeper prayer, growing goodness, and becoming more truly human in Christ. Paul’s joy in what God is already doing fuels his persistent prayers for increased knowledge of God’s will, wisdom, understanding, fruitful lives, and a walk worthy of the Lord, reminding us that spiritual growth is a process God is committed to. Join us as we learn to move beyond prayer as duty into prayer as delight, asking boldly for the kind of growth God promises to bring about in us and in others.

Feb 1500:57:12Tap to summarizeWhat we see in others is largely shaped by what we’re looking for. In this message from Colossians, we explore how Paul models a way of life that learns to see and enjoy the good things Jesus is doing in each of us, no matter how messy we may still be.

Feb 800:41:03Tap to summarizePaul’s introduction in Colossians functions like a moment of re-orientation, reminding believers whose words they are reading in the letter, who they are, and where they stand before they move forward. His introduction and greeting establishes a calm, confident starting point for the whole letter.

Advancing the Mission
Feb 100:43:37Tap to summarizeThis sermon draws a parallel between the Australian War Memorial’s Hall of Valour and the biblical “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews 11, showing how stories of faith are meant to lift and strengthen us. Through the lives of Enoch, Noah, and Sarah, it highlights that the kind of faith God is calling us to is about trusting him for the future and in the present, even when circumstances seem impossible, misunderstood, or slow to change. Though imperfect and facing real pressure, these men and women refused to shrink back, living with confidence, hope, and assurance in the unseen God. The message ultimately calls the church to fix its eyes on Jesus and to step into everyday life as the true frontline of God’s mission, marked by resilient, faith-filled courage.
Transcribe →Praying in the Gap
Jan 2500:49:34Tap to summarizeIn this message, Peter begins by asking a common question: how many times should we pray before God answers? Drawing from Luke 11, he challenges Christian fatalism and shows that Jesus invites persistent, shameless prayer rooted in relationship—not formulas or manipulation. Using the images of friend-to-friend and father-to-child, he explains that the nature of our relationship with God shapes both what we ask for and how we ask. Persistent prayer, he concludes, is about deepening our desire and dependency on a good Father who delights to give what is truly good.

Come and Die

The Humility of Jesus
Jul 14, 2024Tap to summarizeJesus alone is the only one who has enough humility to rule the world. Philippians 2 teaches that no one started higher than Jesus in glory and no one has gone lower than Jesus on the cross. He challenges his followers to do the same.
