Sun, 7 June 2009  Following the testimony of several folk who are baptised this morning, Vijay preaches from John 10:10. He explains that our first impulse is to make sense of the world we are born into. Like sheep we seek to be guided into understanding the world. The claim of the Christian faith is that life will never make sense to us until we relate positively to God. We come to that relationship by following Jesus, the giver of abundant life. |
Sun, 31 May 2009  Job had asked God many questions but, instead of answering them, God questions Job. The end result is that, while Job doesn't have his questions answered, he meets God in a new way. |
Sun, 24 May 2009  In this sermon, Vijay continues with his 'foundation' series looking at the spiritual discipline of confession.

Sun, 17 May 2009 With the world about us in meltdown at the public scandals and dishonesty that are so evident, Christians must hold true to Jesus' claim that we must be salt and light in the world. |

Sun, 3 May 2009  Are you currently on the run from God? Do you prefer to go your own way rather than His? Then watch out!

Tune in to the second part of Florence's message, Jonah for Grown-ups: a story of God's outrageous grace. |
Sun, 26 April 2009 Continuing the 'foundation' series, Pastor Vijay looks at Bible Study as a Spiritual Discipline.

Sun, 12 April 2009 In this short all-age Easter sermon, Pastor Vijay outlines some of the ways people responded to the risen Jesus. Like today many believe and many struggle to believe. But, the invitation to trust him remains the same today as it about 2000 years ago. |

One of God's servants, the prophet Jonah, shows us that running from God is the worst thing you can do. Even when things appear to be going well, Jonah's experiences let us know that favourable circumstances do not necessarily mean you are living right. Tune in for the first part of Florence's new series - Jonah for Grown-ups: a story of God's outrageous grace. |

Sun, 15 February 2009 Marking our first year of planned giving towards the building project, Vijay preaches from Deuteronomy 1.6-7: 'you have remained on this mountain long enough, now resume the journey'. He reminds us that the call to discipleship is a call to be willing to take holy risks for God. Faith is an invitation to abandon our need for certainty. It is an invitation to trust God in the absence of such certainty. Stepping out of our comfort zones always seems risky. But, the truth is that our unwillingness to do so poses the greater risk to our discipleship. |

Sun, 21 December 2008 The story of Christmas for Joseph is a story of 4 surprises. The first is some devastating news of Mary, his fiance's pregnancy. The second, is a strange angelic visitor with a message from God. The third, is a remarkable message that Mary's child is conceived by God and he will save the world from their sins. The fourth surprise is the most staggering of all - that the birth of Jesus shows that God is Immanuel, God with us - a God who is commited to the world in love. He is not far from us, but among us. |
