What if peace isn’t something you inherit… but something you make?In the final message of our Īhu: Legacy of the Gospel series, we explore Ephesians 2 — where Paul declares, “He Himself is our peace.” When Jesus died, the curtain in the temple tore, and the dividing wall came down. Not because Rome changed. Not because the crowd apologised. But because Christ gave Himself.Through the powerful story of Māori peacemaker Wiremu Tamihana — a Bible teacher, church builder, and founder of Peria — we see what it looks like to take that Gospel seriously. In the face of invasion and hostility, he didn’t reach for a sword.

The story of Waitangi is often told through debate, tension, and broken promises. But what if, before it became a political conversation, it was first a relational one?In this message from our Ihu: The Legacy of the Gospel series, we explore the arrival of the gospel in Aotearoa and why the Treaty of Waitangi was understood by early missionaries and Māori as a covenant — a sacred partnership built on relationship, responsibility, and trust.By tracing the Bible’s story of covenant through Abraham, Sinai, King David, and ultimately Jesus, we discover that covenant has always been God’s way of restoring broken relationships. This message moves beyond history and politics to ask a deeper question: What does it look like to live righteously — to do right by people — today?As we conclude at the communion table, we’re reminded that the ultimate covenant was not sealed with words, but with Jesus’ body and blood — a faithfulness that invites us into renewed relationship with God and with one another.This is a conversation about legacy, relationship, and the gospel lived out — then and now.

Using Judges 2:10 (MSG) and Psalm 145:3–7 (MSG), this sermon explores the truth behind the statement: “When church becomes optional to you, it will become unnecessary to your children.”Through the voices and worship of our children, we’re reminded that they are not the church of tomorrow—they are the church of today.

And as Pastor Ants shares, we are always one generation away from losing the story or one decision away from passing it on.This message challenges every listener—parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, youth leaders, and spiritual family—to embrace intentionality over perfection.

On the cross, Jesus cried out, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” — the opening line of Psalm 22.It wasn’t a cry of defeat, but the sound of divine solidarity. In that moment, Jesus stepped into our pain, our silence, and our questions — showing us that lament isn’t the opposite of faith; it’s faith in the dark.In this episode, Pastor Ants Cuthers explores how Psalm 22 moves from anguish to praise, from lament to victory — and what that means for us today.
