God calls his disciples to social holiness expressed in a commitment to seeing his justice and goodness established on earth. When the Son of God became man, he gave up his privilege and advantage as God and announced that the Kingdom of God had come. We, as disciples of Jesus, must similarly be willing to let go of privilege and advantage to see God's justice and goodness extended to the whole world.

WHY? - Job Part 5 - James MacKenzie

Sun, 2 Aug 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Personal Holiness

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Continuing the 'Foundation' series. Vijay looks at how the outworking of our relationship with God results in our personal holiness. This morning's mediation is from Philippians 2.3-4.

Jonah for Grown-ups: a story of God's outrageous grace - Part 3

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 23:30:00 GMT

Find out how he responded to his unpleasant circumstances by tuning in to part three of Florence's latest message on Jonah for Grown-ups: a story of God's outrageous grace.

The Christian Life: Call to Holiness

Sun, 5 Jul 2009 23:30:00 GMT

Vijay continues the 'Foundation' series this morning looking at the ninth foundational block, the Christian Life. The disciple of Jesus is called to be holy just as God is holy. In today's sermon, Vijay looks at the OT roots of holiness. The lesson we learn from God's call to Israel is that holiness is an outworking of the believer's relationship with a Holy God. This relationship produces in us holiness both in personal conduct and the way we relate to a wider world.

Baptism Testimonies & Abundant Life Sermon

Sun, 7 Jun 2009 16:38:00 GMT

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.

WHY? - Job part 4 - James

Sun, 31 May 2009 16:35:00 GMT

Sun, 24 May 2009 16:34:00 GMT

In this sermon, Vijay continues with his 'foundation' series looking at the spiritual discipline of confession.

The purpose of this regular discipline is that we might experience God's grace, forgiveness and healing.

Walk the Talk - Colin 17th May 09

Sun, 17 May 2009 16:32:00 GMT

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:00:00 GMT

Jonah for Grown ups: a story of God's outrageous grace.

Sun, 1 Mar 2009 17:58:00 GMT

Ever feel like doing your own thing and going your own way, even though this conflicts with God's purpose for you? If so, you're not alone. 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.

Taking Holy Risks - Vijay 19.02.09

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 09:33:00 GMT

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.

4 Surprises in the First Christmas

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 11:19:00 GMT

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.
