  • Exclusion or Embrace

    Sunday, 15 April 2012


    Speaker: John Tucker

    Matthew 15:21-28 We live in a world that divides people into categories: those you embrace and those you exclude. In this, one of the strangest stories in the New Testaments, Jesus demonstrates that God does not exclude anyone, and that he calls us to embrace one another – just as he has embraced us.

  • The Panorama of Grace

    Sunday, 4 March 2012


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    Grace is not a thing. It’s the loving action of God who gives us new life, sustains and empowers us, and promises us an unimaginable inheritance. By appreciating the past, present and future dimensions of God’s grace we can be set free to experience and express grace more fully in our everyday lives.

  • Loving the World: Stars

    Sunday, 26 February 2012


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    Paul describes the church like stars shining in the sky. Our mission is to hold out the word of life to others and invite them into life with Jesus. And we demonstrate this life through expressing faith, hope and love to those around us and in the broader world.

  • Loving Each Other – A New Humanity

    Sunday, 19 February 2012


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    The church is described in Ephesians 2 as a ‘new humanity.’ We are a reconciled community that should be characterised by peace (shalom) toward one another. That means working against the social fragmentation in our world and celebrating diversity within the new humanity.

  • Loving God – A Priesthood

    Sunday, 12 February 2012


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    1 Peter 2 describes the church as a holy priesthood. Our role as a priesthood is to mediate between God and the world, reflecting God to the world in our character and representing the world to God in our worship.

  • Galatians 6:12-18 - World-shaping Crucifixion

    Sunday, 16 October 2011


    Speaker: Rob Thompson

    The cross stands at the centre of history as the event dividing the old age from the new. Crucifixion is not only the act by which Jesus saved us, but the pattern of life for all those who participate in the new creation.

  • At the Face of the Tomb

    Sunday, 4 April 2010


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    The Easter story is not a clean, tidy story with a ribbon around it. It’s a messy story, for messy people. The events of Jesus’ death and resurrection are earthy and raw, but have the power to transform our lives if we allow them to.

  • Jesus Christ is Lord

    Sunday, 28 March 2010


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    This hymn reaches its climax with the confession that Jesus Christ is Lord. That is not a private statement about personal spirituality but a declaration that Jesus is the rightful king and ruler of the world.

  • Facing

    Sunday, 7 March 2010


    Speaker: Tim Keel

    Tim Keel is Senior Fellow in Congregation Studies at Laidlaw College in Auckland. He is a pastor, author and scholar, with a love for God’s church Tim is specking about how Often we think of prayer as something we do by talking to God.

    Sunday, 10 January 2010


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

  • Christmas: God in a Cave

    Sunday, 13 December 2009


    Speaker: Reuben Munn

    The original Christmas story is nothing like the pictures we see on Christmas cards and in advent calendars. It is far more scandalous, earthy and grisly than we like to think. But it reveals a God who is more incredible than we can imagine, making himself staggeringly vulnerable in order to identify with us and restore our humanity.

  • Faith at Work

    Sunday, 29 November 2009


    Speaker: Martien Kelderman

  • Success

    Sunday, 15 November 2009


    Speaker: Carl Becker

    Success is a strong theme in our culture and absent as a topic in the biblical story. This message explores how the biblical story provides markers as to what it may look like. The life Jesus further defines it and challenges the truncated sense of what salvation is in contemporary church culture
