    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    Ecclesiastes finishes with a discussion of what it means to human. In the fullness of the biblical story, being human is about knowing Jesus and being conformed to him. This is a lifetime journey in which we apprentice Jesus until he makes us human at last.

    Sunday, 13 November 2011


    Speaker: Laura Giddey

    The Quester encourages us to remember our Creator while our bodies and society deteriorate. How can we do this? How does this relate to Communion? Why is remembering so important?

  • Series: EcclesiastesEcclesiastes 10 - Provocative Proverbs

    Sunday, 30 October 2011


    Speaker: Laura Giddey

    The Quester struggles to find wisdom and meaning in an unpredictable world, much like our own. What is the result of his findings? What can we discover about wisdom through Christ? How do we live with this life-giving wisdom?

  • Series: EcclesiastesEcclesiastes 9:13-18 - The Poor, Wise Man

    Sunday, 23 October 2011


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    Wisdom is a hard thing to pin down, but we know it when we see it. This story of the poor, wise man parallels Jesus - the one embodies true wisdom. His life and death give us a mode of what genuine, self-giving wisdom looks like in action.
