    Can Only One Of Us Be Right Series

     | 4,773 views

    In Christianity we have God revealed to us in a way that none other can claim, as a God who gives up his own life to bring all people back to himself.

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself. I guess we’re all aware of the Atheists’ conference held in Melbourne in February. You may even ...read more

    The King’s New Clothes Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2011
     | 4,345 views

    If we clothe ourselves only in the name of Jesus, the world will see right through it - and through us. We have to put on his life, death and resurrection as well.

    If you change the word “Gentiles” in the first verse of today’s passage to “Americans” the whole lesson moves right into our own situation. They are practically a mirror of contemporary society. Listen to this: “[Americans] are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God ...read more

     | 5,291 views

    Despite the many ways we have of connecting you’ll still find that many people today feel a deep sense of isolation. But the primary result of the fall wasn’t a breakdown in our relationship with each other, it was a breakdown in our relationship with God

    This sermon is the first in a series for January 2017 called "Start Something New." Many focus on body image issues when making New Year's Resolutions. In baptism, we have "put on Christ," and God sees His perfect, sinless Son. THERE'S your new body!

    It’s that time again—time to set lofty goals for yourself. Time to aim high for 2017. Time to dream that you might be one of only 8% of Americans who actually fulfill a new year’s resolution! Year after year, we do this to ourselves…no matter how many times we fall into the 92% failure category. ...read more
