From Power to Freedom to Good Works
Vahé looks at Ephesians 2:1-10, particularly zooming in on verse 10. He explains the structure of the paragraph and how God’s power in us is greater than any other power, freeing us from sin and empowering us to walk in good works. Vahé explains how God has prepared these good works for us before the foundation of the world and how our life is bursting with meaning and purpose.

Back to the Future
In this message we look at Paul’s desire for believers to understand just how bad things were without God, and how good things are and will be with him. We consider Paul’s encouragement to live out our lives in light not simply of what God has done, but in view of what he promises to do going forward. We need to go ‘back to the future’ so we can see just how good he promises to be.

That we would know him
In this message Sarah looks at Paul’s prayer for the Church. In particular we consider how Paul prays that we would know Christ more and that the Holy Spirit would reveal to them their calling, their inheritance and the power available to them.

The Guaranteed Inheritance
In this message we explore being assured what our inheritance in Christ is, and how it changes our priorities and perspective. Without such confidence we easily drift into lifestyles indistinguishable from the world.

Treasure in jars of clay
Dave Holden zooms into Paul’s understanding of Christians indwelt by treasure (2 Corinthians 4). Dave reminds us to have a sober view of ourselves (jars of clay) and at the same time upholds our value as containing a treasure of incomparable value (the life of Jesus in us).
If that treasure was available to one of Christianity’s worst enemies (Paul), then the indwelling treasure is available to all.

Joshua 1 - shaped by faith
God consistently speaks into Joshua courage, strength and boldness. He knows that for Joshua to step into all that God has for him, he will need faith. In this message we consider how to live lives more shaped by faith than by fear.

God in the storm
In this message Tim looks at the story of Jonah and how we see a man who runs away from God’s calling, finds himself in a storm, but through it all is pursued by a God of compassion and mercy.

The Joshua generation
The difference between ‘getting out’ and ‘getting in. Why was it that Joshua’s generation managed to step into the inheritance that God had promised, and yet the generation before didn’t? In this message we consider the importance of cultivating a receptive heart that can respond with more faith than doubt when it comes to following Jesus.

Joshua seasons of change
In this mini series we are looking at how to navigate seasons of change. In Joshua 1 the Lord speaks to Joshua and tells him it is time to move and inherit the land. In this talk we consider the importance both as a church family and as individuals, of seeking God’s guidance and learning to hear his voice.

Luke 15, a trilogy
In this sermon, Vahé explains how Jesus, through these parables, is displaying brilliantly the extravagant love of the Father, fully displayed in Jesus and ultimately on the cross. Vahé dives into the parable of the lost sons to unpack the relationships of both sons with their father and explains how we can relate to our Father as sons and daughters.

Lazarus, it’s in your blood

Where are you going to sit?
In this message we look at Luke 14 and Jesus’ message to the Pharisees the ‘seats of honour.’ We consider the call on us as Christians to be those who don’t make ourselves the centre of the story but rather ‘open the door’ for others.

“Soul hunger” - The feeding of the 5000
