Apr 1800:20:23Tap to summarizeSolid knowledge about God himself. Who doesn’t want that?

Transcribe →Christ's Cancel Culture
Apr 1200:18:52Tap to summarizeIt seems that cancel culture has become a pandemic of hatred and vengeance. Both extremes of the political spectrum wallow in it. Jesus also practices cancel culture. But it's the very opposite in its nature and its outcomes. It might be exactly what you need right now.Join us as we reflect on "Christ's Cancel Culture", with readings from Luke 23:31-45, 54-62 and John 21:9-19
Transcribe →The Crown of Life - Crown Him with Many Crowns Part 2
Apr 500:20:36Tap to summarizeOn Easter Sunday we come face to face with the glory of the risen Christ, crowned and ruling from Heaven. But look closely, and you can still see the scars of sacrifice – a reminder that he will always and eternally rule as a Servant King. How should that change our outlook on life?
Transcribe →The Crown of Thorns - Crown Him with Many Crowns Part 1
Apr 300:17:35Tap to summarizeIn preparation for his death, Jesus undergoes a coronation with a crown of thorns. It’s easy to miss the meaning of the crown but on this Good Friday we’ll see what it’s all about.
Transcribe →King of Loss - Palm Sunday
Mar 2900:18:41Tap to summarizeIf you’ve ever misheard song lyrics, then you’re in good company. We can sing the wrong words for years until that surprise moment of getting them right. Jesus was misheard too, as he told people that in order to be the king of life he would first be a king of loss.Join us as on Palm Sunday as we reflect on "King of Loss", with readings from Luke 17:20-37
Transcribe →Armoured to Stand Firm - Who Do You Think You Are? Part 6
Mar 2200:23:26Tap to summarizeIn our battle scarred and broken world, it may be tempting to reach for violent solutions – and as he closes his letter to the Ephesians, Paul himself uses a very military metaphor. But as we’ve discovered in earlier chapters, the evil forces behind division and hatred won’t be defeated by weapons of war but by the gospel of God’s grace to all peoples – and the united and loving church that results from proclaiming it.Join us as we conclude our series on Ephesians! This week, part 6 of "Who do you think you are?", "Armoured to Stand Firm", with readings from Ephesians 6:10-24
Transcribe →Upending the Household Code - Who Do You Think You Are? Part 5
Mar 1500:20:56Tap to summarizeWhen Paul gives his controversial guidance to Christian households in ancient Ephesus, he’s subtly turning the world upside down – because these will be homes and families modelled on the service of Christ, rather than on power and prestige. We should aim for the same.Join us as we continue our series on Ephesians! This week, part 5 of "Who do you think you are?", "Upending the Household Code", with readings from Ephesians 5:18-6:9
Transcribe →Be Who You Are - Who Do You Think You Are? Part 4
Mar 800:19:52Tap to summarizeWho do you think you are? However you answer that question will have huge consequences, because our identities determine how we live. The surprising truth of Christianity is that it gives us a new identity and therefore the power to “be a new self.”Join us as we continue our series on Ephesians! This week, part 4 of "Who do you think you are?", "Be Who You Are", with readings from Ephesians 4:17-32 and Ephesians 5:1-21
