As a church we are walking through the Gospel according to John, seeking to encounter our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Shane Corrigan preaches on the wide and narrow paths from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:13-15. Due to technical difficulties we were unable to record the sermon on 18/06/2023. Here is a recording of the same sermon which was preached at North Lakes a few weeks earlier.
Grahame Kerr from Transform the Nations discusses God's call to serve the poor in Nepal. "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me" - Matthew 25:40 CSB.
The church is the community of God's people who are held and bound together by the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's critical then, that the gospel remains central for the church. This letter from Paul to a young pastor called Titus is a call to keep the gospel central to the church—central to the leadership, central to the church’s everyday life, and central to its mission to the world.

After centuries of waiting for God’s promise of a King to sit on David’s throne, the New Testament begins with the wonderful herald that The King is Here! However, this King came in ways that weren’t fully expected, to a virgin woman and the son of a carpenter, under conditions that were not ideal, and in the shadow of an earthly king who wanted this child murdered. Nevertheless, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the descendant of David, King of Israel and God Incarnate was born.

AFTER CENTURIES OF WAITING FOR GOD’S PROMISE OF A KING TO SIT ON DAVID’S THRONE, THE NEW TESTAMENT BEGINS WITH THE WONDERFUL HERALD THAT THE KING IS HERE! HOWEVER, THIS KING CAME IN WAYS THAT WEREN’T FULLY EXPECTED, TO A VIRGIN WOMAN AND THE SON OF A CARPENTER, UNDER CONDITIONS THAT WERE NOT IDEAL, AND IN THE SHADOW OF AN EARTHLY KING WHO WANTED THIS CHILD GONE. NEVERTHELESS, JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, THE DESCENDANT OF DAVID, KING OF ISRAEL AND GOD INCARNATE WAS BORN. O COME LET US ADORE HIM!
God’s people were in exile and amongst these disorientating days the question for them would’ve been, “How do we survive as God’s people in this foreign pagan land?” Their answer lies in Jeremiah 29. Pursue the blessing for the land, but do so with an eye on the future that God had promised to them. Because of God, their future and our future is incredibly bright! God has a plan for each one of us that extends beyond this side of eternity, for our well-being and not for disaster, to give us a hope and a future.
Following the promise made to King David, his descendants after him don’t live up to the expectation that we might have for them. One after the next the Kings fail. The nation of Israel is split in two, and after consistent and increasing sin, God’s people are evicted from the land that God gave to them. But this story is not without hope. God promised his people through the prophets that they would return, and a new covenant would be made, one that would last forever, and where God’s word would be written on every heart of every person!
You can’t read the Old Testament without taking significant stock of King David. In 2 Samuel 7 God makes a huge promise to David, and the Old Testament suddenly becomes laser-focused with expectation of this covenant being fulfilled. God’s promise to David is clearly fulfilled in Jesus, and this is Good News for us, because in fulfilling this promise, Jesus built God’s house—the church, and we are invited on the mission of building God’s Kingdom with Jesus.
The book of Joshua contains some of the hardest material to get our heads around. How can a loving God command his people to go to war like that? But upon closer inspection, we learn that this was not about God against the Canaanites; this was God against sin, and his people need to rid the land of sinful activity before they can settle there. Despite Israel’s failure to do so, God is faithful towards them, and his faithfulness points us towards his Son Jesus Christ who was faithful until the end.
When God freed the Israelites, it wasn’t just for the sake of their own freedom, as good as that is. God freed his people from slavery so that they could worship him. The story of Moses leading God’s people out of slavery in Egypt is also the story of God bringing his people under his good blessing and rule; he was showing how to stop being slaves and how to start being the children of God.
Joseph is an important link in understanding God’s faithfulness to fulfil his covenantal promises and to bring his people back into his place under his rule. This story shows us how God uses dysfunctional people to bring about his good purposes, and we see in Joseph a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ. Ultimately, Joseph shows us what Jesus is like in his unconditional love and forgiveness of his brothers—he does not hold a grudge, but forgives to the uttermost.
Abraham is one of the most important figures in the storyline of scripture. Paul calls him the Father of all who believe. The events of his life not only have a historical impact, but also a theological impact on the world, as the covenant that God made with him became the landmark principle of justification by grace the faith in Christ alone. Salvation comes from Christ alone; it is by his initiative and it depends upon his faithfulness towards us, and not the other way around.
We’re looking at the Big Picture of the Old Testament, and the opening chapters of Genesis provide us with the beginnings of an incredible story of a gracious God who created a people to live with him under his blessing. And even though they rebelled and were snatched away from him, he would get them back—even if it cost him everything.
Suffering is promised throughout the Bible, therefore we need to have a robust theology and faith in God to remain faithful in those times.
Paul is in prison, his companions have deserted him, and the church that he planted in Ephesus is apparently coming apart at the seams because of some false teaching. Paul responds to these trying circumstances with a letter to a young pastor named timothy to strengthen him in the grace of Jesus Christ.

When we're called to produce the Fruit of the Spirit, we need to know what that means, and we need to know what counterfeit fruit looks like.
In John 16, Jesus tells his disciples that it’s a really good thing that he is going to go away from them, because when he does, he’s going to send them the Spirit. And when the Spirit comes, he will convict them (18), and guide them into all the truth (13). Now, listen to what he says in vv. 14-15 about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
The world tells us that getting married is everything, and if you’re not married, there’s something wrong with you. The Bible says, “Actually, not really.” The Bible champions singleness as a practical alternative to marriage that has enormous benefits to the Kingdom of God.
If in marriage you put on your identity in Christ, you’ll have every chance at having a wonderful and healthy marriage that both brings glory to God and causes you both to flourish.
God made men and women differently, those differences uniquely display the fullness of God’s glory, and when those differences are elevated and honoured in marriage, both the man and the woman flourish.
God loves marriage! He instituted marriage for his glory and for our good. If we let God guide and shape the way that we think about marriage, we’ll have a far better chance of building strong and joyful marriages.
Something that we often forget is the reality of the Spirit realm that exists around us. The Bible is clear that there is an enemy, and his purpose is to pry us from the loving grip of our Father. But the Bible is also clear that the Father has not left us alone, and he has in fact given us what we need to Stand Firm, and Life Brave.

One of the biggest challenges that the church faces today is the temptation to forge Jesus into our own image; that is, we often have a predetermined idea of who God is, and we read the Bible looking for evidence to support our claim. Mark’s gospel challenges this idea by dropping us straight into the middle of Jesus’ life and wasting no time telling his readers exactly who Jesus is; he is the Christ, the Son of God, the Lord—he’s the King. But he’s not the king we might expect. Mark’s goal is for his readers to truly understand who Jesus is. He wants us to see Jesus as the answer to our greatest need, even though we so often aren’t aware of what that need is. He wants us to see that Jesus is the King.

The following sermon was recorded for Online Church during the Worldwide COVID-19 Epidemic.
Tetelestai is a word that gives us reason for great hope and joy. Yet, this word stands as only one among seven extraordinary sayings that Jesus spoke from the cross. In this series, we will explore the meaning and significance of Jesus’ seven last words as they are recorded in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). These are words of forgiveness, salvation, affection, anguish, suffering, victory, and commitment that not only reflect the beautiful and perfect character of our Lord, but also bring comfort and assurance to every believer in our day and age.
