Myrrh

we look at the third gift of the Wisemen, Myrrh, and we also look at what some commentators call the fourth gift - a gift that is even more important than the Wisemen's treasures and so easy to overlook, as we get caught up in the busyness of the season.

Gifts of the Wisemen - frankincense

Jesus is our perfect high priest appointed forever, who is able to deal with whatever you facing - even oppression of the evil one

 

Christmas Series - Gold

Why would you give a child a huge gift of Gold?
Seriously, when you think about it that is not every kids dream Christmas gift. So why do the Magi give the child Jesus this significant gift? You know God is saying something very profound in the three gifts. We will be thinking about the implications of the gift of gold from the Magi. Scary question to consider - if it is a gift to a king, then what does that mean? For me? Is Jesus truly my king? Hmmmmmm. 

Paul's lessons on Discipleship

In our final message of Discipleship According to Paul, we’ll uncover Paul’s powerful last words from a Roman prison his urgent call for Timothy to stand strong in God’s grace and carry forward the mission that meant more to him than life itself. Together, we explored how a simple, intentional chain of discipleship one person investing in another can multiply into a movement of transformed lives. And we looked at Paul’s vivid images of the soldier, the athlete, and the farmer to understand what it truly means to follow Jesus with focus, faithfulness, and perseverance in a world full of distractions.

Equipping Others - Multiplying disciples

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 11:1
Follow my example as I follow the example of Christ.
The idea of being, an example or a model is key to understanding the ministry of both Paul and Jesus.

On Sunday we will look at the key components of the ministry of Paul and of Jesus. As we have been tasked to make disciples we need to clearly identify exactly what that means. What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus.
If I am to be a disciple and to make disciples what is the expectation on me.

Renewal Of The Mind

As disciples of Christ, Paul calls us in Rom 12, to not be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewal of our minds so we might know what God’s will is. this Sunday, we considered how are our minds are renewed, and what we should fill them with? You might find that the answer is much broader than you thought.

Building up the Body - Growing in unity and maturity

Unity is elusive. It is uncommon in much of the world and, unfortunately, also among Christians. Why do we have so many denominations? Perhaps it is because we all think that we are right. Jesus' prayer for us (John 17:20-21) was: I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. 

Imitating Christ - Living with Christ's humility and mindset Oct 26 2025

we explore from Philippians chapter two what it means to live with Christ's humility and mind-set.
This chapter has been described as the high mountain top of Paul's explanation of exactly what Christ has done for us and what that therefore means for us as 'Christ followers'. I doubt anybody could argue with that assertion, so please try and read through Philippians chapter two before Sunday if you can, and let's dig in together on Sunday and climb that mountain.

Paul’s Vision for Discipleship - Follow me as I follow Christ

we're launching a brand new series: Discipleship According to Paul!

We'll start by taking a quick look back at our journey this year, then look at Jesus's discipleship method and how they were adapted by Paul for the early church.

This message will set the stage for the rest of the series as we explore what Paul's epistles teach us about following Jesus in our modern world.
Don't miss this essential start!

Living as a Witnesses- What Do We Do with the Gospel

we had the final part of our two-part series titled 'Living as a Witness - What do we do with the Gospel'. 
This series aims to clear up a good deal of misunderstanding about what being a 'witness' really means and offers insight into to why we can find it so difficult. It's important we deal with this because it's one of the major themes of the Bible and has been a major influence on the development of western civilisation throughout history. So, this Sunday we will look at what all this means to us as individual believers in our place and time.
