- Generosity is not merely an act.
- Generosity is not limited to finances and/or possessions.
- Generosity starts in our minds and hearts. Acts of generosity are the visible outworking of who we are, and what we believe and feel.
Exodus 35:4-29
The Cross as Our Compass Romans 15:1-6
In Romans 14:4–23, Paul addresses the tensions in the early church over food laws and special days, reminding believers that the Kingdom of God is not about externals but about transformed hearts. The gospel shifts the focus from rules and rituals to Spirit-given realities: righteousness in Christ, peace through reconciliation, and joy in the Holy Spirit. When gratitude for God’s grace fills our hearts, we no longer divide over dis...
We are created in the image of God. Even when humanity sinned and turned away from God we still held that image. However, when Jesus Christ, the Son of God came and humbled himself by taking on the image of man, humanity got to see what being the Imago Dei meant once again. Then when Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead, that changed everything in history! Those who put their faith in Jesus are given God'...
Evidence For Design.
Why is there death and suffering in the world?
Many reject God on the basis that he must be a cruel god to allow the terrible events and suffering that we see in the world today. Could you answer this? Find out how you can use this question, and more, as a powerful tool to reach others for Christ.
Mike Collins gives one of his dynamic messages Fossils: Origin, Age and Order
Too often we minimise the term Imago Dei (created in God's image) as a figurative expression, allowing incomplete human logic and explanation to override what God says about His creation. In part 1 of this mini-series, reflecting on how we are to live as the Imago Dei, we ponder on how God created us for relationships; stewardship over His creation; created to tell God's Story; and then to consider our responsibility of demonstrat...
In a diverse church family, differences in personal convictions can easily cause tension. Paul reminds us to practice Discerning in Love—knowing the difference between essential gospel truths, which we must never change, and secondary issues, where we should accept one another in grace. We are Accepted in Grace through Christ alone, Accountable to God as our only Master, and Assured by Christ who helps His people stand. Whether wea...
The phrase 'God is Love' is much more than a nice saying or simple figurative language - it is a distinguishing factor of our Triune God. To imitate His love and to make Him known to others is our office as Christians and as His Church. The outcome of following His commandment to love our neighbour is that we become evidence of life, faith, the reality of God and of the gospel message, Jesus Christ His Son.
Romans 13:8-10 and 1 ...
Paul gives some very clear instructions of what we should do and what we should not do as we come to the end of Chapter 12. John Piper defines 'evil' as “The preference of anything above God” and Paul, along with the instruction, gives us a strategy and the outcome for how to overcome evil. Romans 12:17-21
Grace Filled Relationships Romans 12:14-16
What does real Christian love look like in the complexity of everyday life? In this message from Romans 12:9–13, we explore how love that is shaped by the mercy of God is more than mere politeness or outward niceness. Genuine Christian love is authentic in heart—it refuses to pretend and is rooted in God’s transforming love. It’s selfless in action—taking delight in honouring others, flipping the honour-seeking culture of the ancie...
How do we respond to this passage? Let's dive into it together.
Revelation 20:11-15
1 Corinthians 15:35-52 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 John 3:3-8 Hebrews 10:15-25 2 Corinthians 5:14-19 Luke 9:23-27 Jude 8-9 Acts 19:11-16 Matthew 7:21-23 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
In this message, we explore how spiritual gifts, while vital for the church’s flourishing, must be exercised with deep humility and in close community. Paul begins Romans 12 not with a call to action but with a warning: “Don’t think you are better than you really are.” Before serving with our gifts, we need to examine our hearts. Gifts are not achievements, but grace-gifts from God. The church is a body, not a platform, and pride c...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
